The Catholic Difference

Will Nancy Pelosi take a page from her father’s playbook?

June 25, 2020
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

If inner-city and other low- and middle-income Catholic schools are emptied because of unbearable financial pressures on parents, there will be multiple victims.

Extraordinary evangelization in extraordinary times

June 9, 2020
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, Coronavirus, The Catholic Difference

What Father Sherbrooke has done at St. Patrick’s in London in his 17 years as its pastor is little short of miraculous.

Rediscovering baptism in plague time

May 3, 2020
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

Let me urge you again: make this time of plague and quarantine the occasion to dig the “Catholic paper” out of your records, find your baptismal certificate, and learn the date of your baptism. And then, with appropriate celebration, ponder just what happened to you that day.

Flannery O’Connor and friends, revisited

February 18, 2020
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Arts & Culture, Commentary, The Catholic Difference

At the end, that is the deepest impression her letters leave: here is a woman of extraordinary courage whose configuration of her life to the Cross was a source of both personal strength and literary genius.

Christmas, freedom and obedience

December 25, 2019
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

The Christmas story is a lengthy meditation on a counterintuitive but essential truth: true freedom, genuine liberation, comes through freely chosen obedience to God’s purposes.

The well-fought fight

December 18, 2019
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

Alas, like many other hymns, “For All the Saints” is an endangered species today, gutted by parish music directors and pastors who commit the grave sin of not singing a hymn in its entirety — or worse, who bowdlerize the lyrics to coddle the sensibilities of the Church of Nice.

The ideological hijacking of Pope St. John XXIII

October 24, 2019
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

The dying parts of the Church are those still misreading John XXIII.

What kind of “believers”?

October 10, 2019
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

Catholicism is dying in the German-speaking world, not because the Gospel has been proclaimed and found incredible or hard, but because it hasn’t been proclaimed with joy, confidence, and zeal.

As “The League” begins its centennial season….

September 6, 2019
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

Gino Marchetti of the old Baltimore Colts was a big man in several ways. 

Heroism and priesthood, Dachau and Amazonia

August 20, 2019
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

The heroes of Dachau’s priest-barracks found a way to keep sacramental life alive, in full fidelity to the Church’s tradition. Is that impossible in Amazonia? Or elsewhere?

The Ratzinger Diagnosis 

April 24, 2019
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Blog, The Catholic Difference

The Pope Emeritus did the Church a service by offering a diagnosis of the abuse crisis that should be taken seriously by anyone serious about healing the wounds inflicted on the Body of Christ by the abuse of Holy Orders for wicked, self-indulgent purposes.

Cleansed and conformed to God’s will

November 30, 2018
By George Weigel
Filed Under: Blog, The Catholic Difference

We must all intensify prayer and penance. We should all be inviting to church those who have left out of boredom, anger, confusion, or disgust.
