Commentary

Tell me a story

November 7, 2019
By Rita Buettner
Filed Under: Commentary, The Domestic Church

Stories help us incorporate memories and traditions into our family. They help us know who we are.

Scatter the darkness

November 7, 2019
By Archbishop William E. Lori
Filed Under: Charity in Truth, Commentary

As the days grow darker, both cosmically and metaphorically, the encouragement of the Holy Spirit shines forth with renewed clarity.

Still try to make converts?/ Does Mass need a congregation?

November 1, 2019
By Father Kenneth Doyle
Filed Under: Commentary, Ecumenism and Interfaith Relations, Question Corner

Father Kenneth Doyle fields questions about proselytism and how frequently a priest is required to celebrate Mass.

Have you ever experienced a “thin place”?

October 29, 2019
By Effie Caldarola
Filed Under: Commentary, For the Journey, Guest Commentary

This is the season when the Catholic world celebrates the feast of All Saints’ Day, followed by All Souls’ Day. The night before All Saints’ Day, the cultural world celebrates Halloween, literally the eve of All Hallows.

Tuning in to our souls and nourishing them

October 24, 2019
By Moises Sandoval
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary

We communicate with the dead when we pray to the saints, canonized or not. So it is not a far stretch to believe that souls are close by and in touch.

The ideological hijacking of Pope St. John XXIII

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

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

“We are better than this!”

October 22, 2019
By Sister Charmaine Krohe, SSND
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary

I grew to know him as a friend, a fervent advocate for the poor, and as a quintessential leader and civil rights icon who fought for justice and equality for all, especially those he served.

A prayer for Pietro

October 21, 2019
By Suzanna Molino Singleton
Filed Under: Commentary, Snippets of Faith

How is it people and young adults grow up Catholic, experience all there is taught to us about the Trinity through religion classes, nuns and priests’ instruction, get baptized, make first holy Communion, confess young sins in first reconciliation, invite a sponsor to touch our shoulder during Confirmation, take vows in matrimony … and then don’t have faith in God any longer?

Don’t let Halloween scare you

October 17, 2019
By Greg Erlandson
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary

Memo to handwringing adults: Ghouls and goblins and various ghostly apparitions don’t exist, but lust, greed, pride, envy and anger most certainly do. And they are far more frightening.

Prayers for the sick

October 15, 2019
By John Garvey
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue

I’ve been thinking lately about prayers for the sick.

Accompanied by angels

October 10, 2019
By Rita Buettner
Filed Under: Commentary, The Domestic Church

We want to believe the sun will rise tomorrow and we’ll embrace the fullness of another day. We must live life with that hope. There is no other way.

What kind of “believers”?

October 10, 2019
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

Catholicism is dying in the German-speaking world, not because the Gospel has been proclaimed and found incredible or hard, but because it hasn’t been proclaimed with joy, confidence, and zeal.
