The Easter explosion

George Weigel March 31, 2021
By George Weigel
Syndicated Columnist
Filed Under: Commentary, Easter, The Catholic Difference

What happened on Easter Sunday was the most explosive experience in human history, shattering all previous expectations of human destiny.

The world episcopate and the German apostasy

George Weigel March 18, 2021
By George Weigel
Syndicated Columnist
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

The first responsibility here lies with the Bishop of Rome, Pope Francis, who should do what Pope St. Clement I did with the rowdy Corinthians in the immediate post-apostolic period and what Pope St. Gregory the Great did with brother bishops during the age of the Fathers: call the German bishops back to the “faith which was once for all delivered to the saints”

Father Mankowski, who died suddenly Sept. 3, was ‘off-the-charts brilliant’

George Weigel September 16, 2020
By George Weigel
Syndicated Columnist
Filed Under: Commentary, Obituaries, The Catholic Difference

He rarely expressed doubts about anything; but he displayed a great sensitivity to the doubts and confusions of those who had the humility to confess that they were at sea.

Rediscovering the reality of the Eucharist

George Weigel August 17, 2020
By George Weigel
Syndicated Columnist
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

Teaching the truth of the Eucharist is thus a task for this moment, turning plague time into a time of renewed faith in the wonder of what we are offered in holy communion.

If not for the glory of God, then for what?

George Weigel August 6, 2020
By George Weigel
Syndicated Columnist
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

Ad maiorem Dei gloriam [For the greater glory of God], often reduced to the abbreviation, AMDG, was the Latin motto of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus. Georgetown Prep is a Jesuit school. So what happened to the D-word? What happened to God? Why did AMDG become AM[D]G while being translated into fundraising English?

Will Nancy Pelosi take a page from her father’s playbook?

George Weigel June 25, 2020
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

If inner-city and other low- and middle-income Catholic schools are emptied because of unbearable financial pressures on parents, there will be multiple victims.

Extraordinary evangelization in extraordinary times

George Weigel June 9, 2020
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, Coronavirus, The Catholic Difference

What Father Sherbrooke has done at St. Patrick’s in London in his 17 years as its pastor is little short of miraculous.

Rediscovering baptism in plague time

George Weigel May 3, 2020
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

Let me urge you again: make this time of plague and quarantine the occasion to dig the “Catholic paper” out of your records, find your baptismal certificate, and learn the date of your baptism. And then, with appropriate celebration, ponder just what happened to you that day.

Flannery O’Connor and friends, revisited

George Weigel February 18, 2020
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Arts & Culture, Commentary, The Catholic Difference

At the end, that is the deepest impression her letters leave: here is a woman of extraordinary courage whose configuration of her life to the Cross was a source of both personal strength and literary genius.

Christmas, freedom and obedience

George Weigel December 25, 2019
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

The Christmas story is a lengthy meditation on a counterintuitive but essential truth: true freedom, genuine liberation, comes through freely chosen obedience to God’s purposes.

The well-fought fight

George Weigel December 18, 2019
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

Alas, like many other hymns, “For All the Saints” is an endangered species today, gutted by parish music directors and pastors who commit the grave sin of not singing a hymn in its entirety — or worse, who bowdlerize the lyrics to coddle the sensibilities of the Church of Nice.

The ideological hijacking of Pope St. John XXIII

George Weigel October 24, 2019
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

The dying parts of the Church are those still misreading John XXIII.
