Commentary

A loaf of sliced bread

We are part of the miracle

June 22, 2025
By Rita Buettner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Blog, Commentary, Open Window

Jesus can—and will—feed the thousands of people in front of him. He doesn’t need the five loaves and two fish to create a feast for that crowd.

Question Corner: Do I need to attend my territorial parish?

June 19, 2025
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner, Uncategorized

While Catholics are free to attend Mass and otherwise be involved in the life of whatever parish they choose, in most cases, a Catholic’s official parish membership is determined by where they live.

The truth about transitions

June 18, 2025
By Laura Kelly Fanucci
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary

Life asks us to say yes through the pain. Jesus asks us to follow where we do not want to go.

A cry for unity

June 18, 2025
By Michael R. Heinlein
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Vatican

Pope Leo has assumed the Petrine ministry as old ecclesial divisions have reared up anew and as heightened polarization has weakened the church’s unity and mission.

‘Public’ does not equal ‘state’ or ‘government’

June 18, 2025
By George Weigel
Syndicated Columnist
Filed Under: Commentary, Supreme Court, The Catholic Difference

The U.S. Supremes kicked the can down the road in St. Isidore. But the cause of school choice continues. And it will ultimately prevail, because it’s the will of “We, the People.”     

Thank you to a one-of-a-kind teacher

June 17, 2025
By George P. Matysek Jr.
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, Schools, The Narthex

She had a gift – not just for teaching, but for connecting with people and making them feel seen and valued.

Jesus doesn’t leave us alone in the night

June 16, 2025
By Effie Caldarola
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary

There are faith-sharing groups out there that beckon us. There are food banks and Catholic charities serving the unhoused and the migrant that need our help.

A Key Ingredient

June 15, 2025

Catholic Review
Filed Under: Blog, Commentary, Open Window

For years, I have turned to my next-door neighbor Kathy for help.

Practice the ‘BeDADitudes’

June 14, 2025
By Dr. Greg Popcak
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Marriage & Family Life

The eight Beatitudes given to us by Christ in the Sermon on the Mount can shed light on a uniquely Christian vision of fatherhood, enabling faithful dads to become fathers after the Father’s own heart

Comfort my people: Unexpected surprises in life

June 12, 2025
By Archbishop Shelton J. Fabre
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary

The thing that most of us probably find most challenging is that in it all we are ultimately called to endurance and patience, and to humbly and attentively seek to accomplish what sets itself before us.

A father’s gift 

June 12, 2025
By Rita Buettner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, The Domestic Church

When I think of our Father in heaven, I like to imagine him being a little like my father on Earth – looking at a problem and finding a way to solve it that I can’t see.

Question Corner: Is the parish administrator the same thing as a pastor?

June 12, 2025
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner
