Amen Gunty Commentary

If we truly believe … 

January 15, 2026
By Christopher Gunty
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary, Feature, Maryland General Assembly

We need to tone down the rhetoric and see each other as people – flawed and fearful, but also hopeful and holy.

Planting and reaping 

October 14, 2025
By Christopher Gunty
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

Sometimes, you even plant unintentionally, by the way you live your life. If you live like a follower of Jesus, that should show in what you do and say. By being kind and not adding to the divisiveness we experience today, you can be an example for others on how to treat our fellow humans.

The Pride of Chicago

Catholic Review
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

Pope Leo grew up with remarkably the same kind of life I did. Who would ever have thought such a thing would be possible? Certainly not me. 

What’s missing?

Filed Under: Amen Gunty Commentary, Child & Youth Protection, Commentary

If the state wants to show that reducing caps for those who sue the state for abuse is not “just about the money,” then Gov. Moore and other state officials need to go on a listening tour and meet face to face with victim-survivors, particularly those who were abused in state-run institutions.

The best of things

Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary, Jubilee 2025

The Archdiocese of Baltimore will offer six pilgrimage sites in Baltimore, Emmitsburg and Cumberland, as well as jubilee passports to check your progress in participating in the jubilee year.

Make a difference

September 5, 2024
By Christopher Gunty
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary, Gun Violence

Getting one gun off the street may not have a great impact all by itself, but people such as Monsignor Nalepa and Father Murphy know that sometimes you must try to make a difference. Little by little, gun by gun, we can.

Firm foundation

December 26, 2023
By Christopher Gunty
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

We need support poles and decking to give our faith life some structure. Those are other sacraments, including reconciliation/confession, and devotionals such as praying the rosary, the Angelus, Divine Mercy chaplet or morning and evening prayer.

Praying for the dead

November 2, 2023
By Christopher Gunty
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

The things that weigh us down in this life – fatigue, difficult jobs, pain, injustice, our sins – will all be gone in heaven.

Never stop learning

June 4, 2023
By Christopher Gunty
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary, Journalism

We hope the Catholic media personnel who come to Charm City this month will find the support they need to continue this important work.

Just a spark

May 9, 2023

Catholic Review
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary, Evangelization, Feature

More than 500 people joined the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil at their local parishes in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, a culmination of months of preparation for the sacraments of initiation, confirmation and reception into full communion with the church.

Seek the Light

January 4, 2023
By Christopher Gunty
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary, Feature

As angels revealed the birth of the Messiah to the shepherds, representing the nation of Israel; the star revealed Christ to the Gentiles, represented by these magi from another land.

Taking a look at the Catholic Review’s new look

September 1, 2022
By Christopher Gunty
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

The September issue of the Catholic Review magazine may appear different to regular readers. Over the summer, our team overhauled the logo and inside pages of the magazine. But the beauty is not only skin deep.
