June 29, 2017
By Bishop Robert Barron

Love over hate

June 26, 2017

This vacation, listen for God

June 15, 2017
By Father Joseph Breighner

When we have all the time in the world – namely on vacation – we seem to make even less time for God. May I make a couple of simple prayer suggestions for the summer (or, for that matter, any time).

Kathy Griffin and the vanishing of argument

June 13, 2017
By Bishop Robert Barron
Filed Under: Commentary, Word on Fire

when there is no truth, there can be no argument, for argument depends upon a shared appeal to certain epistemic and ethical values.

Question Corner: Cellphones revisited/ Priest in mortal sin

June 13, 2017
By Father Kenneth Doyle

Father Doyle answers questions about cellphone use in church and the validity of sacraments performed by priests in a state of mortal sin.

A myth of neutrality

June 7, 2017
By Richard Doerflinger

June 7, 2017
By Rita Buettner
Filed Under: Commentary, The Domestic Church

God doesn’t care whether we’re immaculately dressed in fancy clothes or wearing an old bathrobe with sausage grease on the sleeve.
