There was a swift backlash to Mr. Trump’s post across the political and ideological spectrum, including from some prominent conservatives. 
“Does he actually think this?” Riley Gaines, the influencer and critic of transgender rights, posted on social media. She added, “God shall not be mocked.” 
David Brody, an evangelical journalist with the Christian Broadcasting Network, called on Mr. Trump to take down the image. “This goes too far. It crosses the line,” Mr. Brody wrote on social media. “A supporter can back the mission AND reject this simultaneously.”

MISCREANT PREACHERS: Financial misconduct in the Name of the Lord (# in a series)

 
Photo and headline:  Evanston RoundTable, 4/11/2026

Alex Harrison reports:
The Rev. Kenneth Anderson has resigned as pastor of St. John Henry Newman Parish after Catholic Church officials found he used parish funds for personal expenses, among other financial violations. 
Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, the Archbishop of Chicago, first announced Anderson would be temporarily removed from administrative duties on March 30 in a letter to parishioners, and followed up with another letter Friday announcing his full departure. 
He wrote that his office’s review of parish finances found Anderson “violated a number of core Archdiocesan policies” on fiscal responsibility and stewardship.

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."  (1 Timothy 6:10)

First human case of avian influenza reported in the European Union

 
This news hasn't received much media attention.

A human case of avian influenza A(H9N2) infection in a returning traveller from a non-European country where the virus has previously been identified in birds, has been reported in the Lombardy region of Italy. This is the first human case of avian influenza A(H9N2) reported in the EU/EEA. 
The patient has co-existing medical conditions and is currently in hospital isolation, receiving medical treatment. Italian public health authorities performed contact tracing as a precaution to identify and control possible onward transmission and initiated several epidemiological and microbiological investigations. 
Since 1998, and as of 27 February 2026, 195 human cases of A(H9N2) had been reported worldwide by 10 countries in Asia and Africa. Only two infections were fatal. No clusters of human influenza A(H9N2) infections, nor documented instances of person-to-person transmission, have ever been reported. Direct contact with infected birds or contaminated environments has been the most likely source of human infection for avian influenza viruses. Sporadic human cases of avian influenza are not unexpected in areas where the virus is circulating in birds. [emphasis added]
