Commentary

Path for reform goes through Rome

November 16, 2018
By Greg Erlandson
Filed Under: Child & Youth Protection, Commentary, Guest Commentary

Rome does indeed move slowly, but the U.S. bishops, who are clearly feeling the pressure from their people, are committed to applying pressure of their own.

A century after the Armistice

November 14, 2018
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

The Great War destroyed Western confidence in traditional authorities and bred a deep skepticism of, and even contempt for, “the great and the good” that remains a factor in our public life.

Archbishop Lori outlines path toward reform and renewal in the Catholic Church

November 9, 2018
By Archbishop William E. Lori
Filed Under: Archbishop's Ministry, Child & Youth Protection, Commentary, Feature, From the Archbishop

We cannot allow the shame of the devastating failings we now confront to cause us to pause or in any way delay the essential work of the church — sharing God’s love, forgiveness and healing as we work also to promote common understanding, acceptance and mutual respect in a troubled world.

Meeting two worlds

October 31, 2018
By Lexi Poindexter
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary

My trip to Israel this summer made me aware that everyone’s world is a world dependent upon a single perspective — formed by a single definition of “normal.”

On not being a vegetable

October 30, 2018
By Richard Doerflinger
Filed Under: A More Human Society, Commentary

Our medical system has been giving up on far too many of these patients, prematurely ensuring their deaths based on faulty diagnoses and self-fulfilling hopeless predictions.

Getting real about our challenges

October 25, 2018
By Greg Erlandson
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary

We need a church that recovers what it means to be a family, a family that can disagree and argue passionately about things, but also that loves one another.

A smile and a handshake

October 24, 2018
By Sarah Jarzembowski
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Young Adult Ministry

My encounter with the Holy Father reminds me that the Holy Spirit is working in small yet profound ways.

Humility cometh after a fall

October 15, 2018
By Rita Buettner
