The Catholic Difference

Father Mankowski, who died suddenly Sept. 3, was ‘off-the-charts brilliant’

September 16, 2020
By George Weigel
Syndicated Columnist
Filed Under: Commentary, Obituaries, The Catholic Difference

He rarely expressed doubts about anything; but he displayed a great sensitivity to the doubts and confusions of those who had the humility to confess that they were at sea.

Rediscovering the reality of the Eucharist

August 17, 2020

Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

Teaching the truth of the Eucharist is thus a task for this moment, turning plague time into a time of renewed faith in the wonder of what we are offered in holy communion.

If not for the glory of God, then for what?

August 6, 2020
By George Weigel
Syndicated Columnist
Filed Under: Commentary, The Catholic Difference

Ad maiorem Dei gloriam [For the greater glory of God], often reduced to the abbreviation, AMDG, was the Latin motto of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus. Georgetown Prep is a Jesuit school. So what happened to the D-word? What happened to God? Why did AMDG become AM[D]G while being translated into fundraising English?

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

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

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

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