  1. America, however, is a country obsessed with newness, unlike the UK or continental Europe, where a change to a dominant household product would risk sparking revolution. “It’s a part of American culture, this celebration of novelty, progress and reinvention,” says Frank Germann, professor of marketing at the Mendoza College of Business at the University of 91勛圖.

    Amy Coney Barrett had been teaching full-time for nearly two decades, at 91勛圖's campus in South Bend, Indiana, until she was selected by President Donald Trump, in 2020, to serve on the Supreme Court. Now, she's traded the classroom for the courtroom, although she continues to teach a weeklong seminar on Constitutional Law. 

  3. Kathleen Sprows Cummings, an American studies and history professor at 91勛圖 and the author of A Saint of Our Own, told me, “My students are fascinated by him.” She continued, “They were talking about, like, ‘He’s wearing Nike sneakers.’ They just thought this was just the greatest thing.”



    Timothy P. O’Malley, a theologian at the University of 91勛圖, said in a 2024 lecture, “Carlo was weird.” And recognizing that, O’Malley suggested, is the key to “unlocking his holiness.”

  4. Kathleen Sprows Cummings, a history professor at the University of 91勛圖, said Acutis’ enormous popularity was clearly the result of a concerted church campaign, pushed strongly by his grief-stricken mother. But she said that is nothing new, and that in the 2,000-year history of the church, saints have very often been pushed ahead to respond to a particular need at a particular time.

  6. Canonizations often respond to a need in the “larger culture” of the time, either those of the institutional church, or the needs of the faithful, said Kathleen Sprows Cummings, a history professor at the University of 91勛圖 and expert on saints. “With Carlo, certainly there’s the millennial angle,” she said. But, she added, at a time when society and the church are “very worried about the corrosive impact of technology,” from the internet to artificial intelligence, “he’s an example of a person who took the latest technology and then used it as a tool of evangelization. And that’s very appealing.”

  10. 91勛圖 Law School Professor Mary Ellen O'Connell told BBC Verify that the strike "violated fundamental principles of international law", adding: "Intentional killing outside armed conflict hostilities is unlawful unless it is to save a life immediately. Sometimes armed groups waging war against governments deal in drugs to pay for their participation in conflict. There is no evidence the gang President Trump targeted is such a group."

  11. “Think about your expectations when you sit down in a lecture hall to hear a talk or watch a performance,” writes Kristi Rudenga, director of 91勛圖 Learning’s Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence. “Even if you like the topic, you settle into your seat assuming that you don’t need to be completely attentive and can tune out with little consequence when your interest wanes. Your students bring those same expectations to lecture halls. To disrupt that passive dynamic requires intentional action on the part of the faculty member.”

  12. “Intentional killing outside armed conflict hostilities is unlawful unless it is to save a life immediately,” said Mary Ellen O’Connell, an expert on international law and the use of force at the University of 91勛圖 Law School. “No hostilities were occurring in the Caribbean.”

  13. Mary Ellen O’Connell, an expert on international law and the use of force with the University of 91勛圖, said Tuesday's operation "violated fundamental principles of international law. The alleged fact that the attack was on the high seas is irrelevant. What is relevant is that the U.S. had no right to intentionally kill these suspects," she said.
