Commentary

Men without conviction, churches without people

February 8, 2018
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

Christianity is dying in western Europe. But the Gospel has power, and those who believe that, and preach it in the conviction that it can transform and ennoble lives, can still get a hearing.

In praise of Catholic caregivers

February 6, 2018
By Father Ed Dougherty, M.M.
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Light One Candle

It is important that Catholics remain confident in answering the call to serve while also upholding the beliefs that have been handed down to us by Christ.

The best Lent ever

February 6, 2018
By Archbishop William E. Lori
Filed Under: Charity in Truth, Commentary, From the Archbishop

When we look at Lent as the herald of a new springtime in our spiritual lives, then, I would hope, Lenten practices would no longer seem like unwelcome intrusions into our comfort. Rather, they are harbingers of hope for a more Christ-centered way of life.

A boy and his dog

February 1, 2018
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

I think it’s fair to say that my dog saved my life. I would come home from grade school at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Essex. Our little apartment was empty. My father was absent. My mother was working. My older brother and sisters were either in school or at work. But my dog, King, was there.

Amen: Boring in eye of beholder

January 30, 2018
By Emily Rosenthal Alster
Filed Under: Amen, Commentary, Western Vicariate

When we choose to stay in our own little world, it’s not because we are hateful or uneducated or racist. Some like the hustle, bustle and skyline. I’ll take the calm, rolling hills and serenity. 

Straight to heaven?/ Responsibility for grandchildren

January 24, 2018
By Father Kenneth Doyle
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Father Doyle fields questions about going to heaven and the responsibility for taking care of the faith of grandchildren.

Say ‘yes’ to God’s plan

December 26, 2017
By Rita Buettner
Filed Under: Commentary, The Domestic Church

As we look at the New Year ahead of us, it’s impossible to know what opportunities and challenges we will encounter during the next 365 days. We have no choice but to say yes to all of it, even the unknowns.

This Christmas, rediscover silence and God

December 24, 2017
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

At Christmas we get to celebrate God made man in the fullness of time. May we one day be able to celebrate the God who lives in us and through us all the time. 

Archbishop Lori recalls Christmases past, looks back at 2017

December 21, 2017
By Christopher Gunty
Filed Under: Behind the Headlines, Blog, Commentary

Archbishop William E. Lori recalled that midnight Mass was the highlight of the family Christmas celebrations. The parish where he grew up had a particularly beautiful choir that helped make the Mass a memorable event, even as a kid.

Suddenly Annie

December 18, 2017
By Robyn Barberry
Filed Under: Commentary, Unconditional

In this time of Advent, we are not just waiting for the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but preparing for our role as a member of His Kingdom.

‘Lady Bird’ and the breakthrough of grace

December 18, 2017
By Bishop Robert Barron
Filed Under: Commentary, Word on Fire

Running underneath this complex story of love and conflict is religion, more precisely, Catholicism.

December 12, 2017
By Father Kenneth Doyle
Filed Under: Commentary, deacons, Question Corner

Father Doyle fields questions about the burial of unbaptized persons in a Catholic cemetery and the role of deacon in parishes.
