Commentary

Praying with children

September 20, 2018
By John Garvey
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue

The faith of the world’s young people is precisely what the present crisis is destroying. It will not be enough, though it is certainly necessary, for the church to root out the evil in her midst and bring about some semblance of justice.

Tintoretto and the Reform of the Church

September 18, 2018
By Bishop Robert Barron
Filed Under: Commentary, Word on Fire

Tintoretto sheds considerable light on this issue of Apostolic weakness and strength in the very manner in which he has arranged the figures in his composition

Good and bad ideas on church reform

September 13, 2018
By Richard Doerflinger
Filed Under: A More Human Society, Commentary

Charges against former Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, and those who allegedly covered up his abuses and advanced him to an advisory role at the Vatican, must be investigated and proved or disproved.

Sweden’s Catholic past and future

September 11, 2018
By Greg Erlandson
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary

For the past 500 years, Catholicism has made little impression on Sweden. Yet perhaps even now in this ardently secular country, there are small signs of change.

I have seen the face of Christ

September 10, 2018
By Christopher Gunty
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

Many years ago, I read an essay that pointed out that the church – whose head is Christ – must have a dual nature: like Jesus, both divine and human. If the church were not human, it would not be riddled with sinners and all that sin brings into our lives; but if the church were not divine, it could not have lasted two millennia, the argument went.

A time to repent

September 5, 2018
By Archbishop William E. Lori
Filed Under: Charity in Truth, Commentary

The ongoing sexual abuse crisis in the Church has hit us with full force following the revelations concerning Archbishop Theodore McCarrick, former archbishop of Washington, and the Pennsylvania grand jury report. Once again, we were confronted with a tsunami of evil: the evil of those who perpetrated unspeakable crimes against children and young people; and […]

Pearls amid junk

September 3, 2018
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

When you look at infinite space and countless solar systems and stars and galaxies, we’re part of a creation that is truly worthy of God.

When hard conversations have to happen

September 1, 2018
By Laura Kelly Fanucci
Filed Under: Child & Youth Protection, Commentary, Guest Commentary

For children’s sake, for our church’s sake, for the sake of our own souls, we cannot choose the easy way out and avoid what is difficult to say or do.

‘The Hiding Place’

August 30, 2018
By Effie Caldarola
Filed Under: Commentary, For the Journey

Who inspires you? Who gives you hope? Read about a favorite saint or hero of history, and have faith.

Washing hands at Mass/ The ‘poor in spirit’

August 23, 2018
By Father Kenneth Doyle
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Father Doyle fields questions about why the priest washes his hands at Mass and what Christ meant by the ‘poor in spirit.’

Why is Michael a saint?/ Ashes of a non-Catholic

August 8, 2018
By Father Kenneth Doyle
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Father Doyle fields questions about why St. Michael the Archangel is a saint and whether a Catholic can be involved in scattering the ashes of a non-Catholic loved one who requests it.

August 2, 2018
By Richard Doerflinger
Filed Under: A More Human Society, Commentary

Ideas have consequences, and for decades some very bad ideas have given aid and comfort to predators inside and outside the church.
