Jewish settlers’ attacks on Palestinians are not isolated incidents, and despite condemnations by Israeli officials, the violence continues, fueled by persistent impunity for perpetrators. The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem issued a joint statement following the October 17 settler attack on the Christian village of Taybeh.

Thomas Mirus, editor-in-chief of the “conservative” CatholicCulture.com, commented on X on Leo XIV’s appointment of Sister Mary Barron as President of the Pontifical Mission Societies (Missio).
