We see it happening again now in rallies where populist leaders excite and harangue crowds, channeling their resentments and hatreds against imagined enemies to distract from the real problems.”

Pope Francis will celebrate Midnight Mass earlier than usual, beginning at 7:30 p.m., to comply with Italy’s anti-coronavirus curfew. Francis will deliver his Christmas and New Year's blessings in ways that aim to prevent crowds from forming.
