May 29, 2024
By George Weigel

Understanding Pope Francis, women and holy orders

May 24, 2024
By Deacon Dominic Cerrato
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Worship & Sacraments

While the universal Synod may continue to discuss the possibility of ordaining women to the diaconate, Pope Francis’ clear and emphatic statement to Norah O’Donnell renders that discussion moot.

When the impossible turns out to be possible (or how I earned a grad degree)

May 24, 2024

How wonderful it is to realize that what seems impossible might actually be possible—whether through divine intervention or by picking up the pieces every day and taking another step on the journey of life.

Knights’ success built on founder’s desire for charity

May 23, 2024
By Russell Shaw
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Knights of Columbus

Father Michael J. McGivney was just one more of that band of hardworking Irish-American priests who spent themselves building up the church in America in the latter years of the 19th century. But in one truly extraordinary respect, he was unique:

Four days in May reveal one deadly but unifying factor in the Catholic Church

May 22, 2024

Thanks to both social and mainstream media, these four days exposed a striking, ungodly amount of noisy Christian infighting to the rest of the world.

Question Corner: Can voting for a politician in a particular political party be sinful?

Harrison Butker and JPII on the dignity and vocation of women

May 21, 2024
By Emily Zanotti
OSV News

OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary
