Filed Under: Commentary

Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, Full-Court Catholic

Those who sing pray twice

August 8, 2024
By Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Worship & Sacraments

One of the multiple blessings of the last six decades since the close of the providential Second Vatican Council has been an emphasis on congregational singing and the development of excellent parish choirs.

What does Archbishop Henning’s appointment to Boston mean for the U.S. church?

August 7, 2024
By Michael R. Heinlein
Filed Under: Bishops, Commentary

Like many of his fellow bishops, especially in the Northeast and Midwest, Archbishop Henning is sure to face further budget shortfalls; additional mergers and closures of parishes, schools and other ecclesiastical institutions; and continued shortages of priests and religious.

Question Corner: What are the steps to receive Communion after divorce and remarriage?

August 7, 2024
