Bishops stymied in response to abuse

Christopher GuntyDecember 5, 20183 min read
We all wanted some definitive answers by now. God willing, February and June – the next U.S. bishops meeting – will bring the remedies that victim-survivors of sexual abuse, and the whole church, desperately need.

Learning from our stumbles

Christopher GuntyOctober 5, 20184 min read
It’s time now for those of us in the church to funnel our anger and frustration into helping the victims and the church to heal. The church may have stumbled and fallen along the way when it comes to protecting children and vulnerable adults. God willing, we have learned from our falls and our failures.

I have seen the face of Christ

Christopher GuntySeptember 10, 20183 min read
Many years ago, I read an essay that pointed out that the church – whose head is Christ – must have a dual nature: like Jesus, both divine and human.

Time for action on gun violence

Christopher GuntyMarch 6, 20184 min read
“Thoughts and prayers” are an appropriate, initial, compassionate response to any tragedy, including the death of innocents at a concert, church or school. But a solution requires action. And the time for action is now.

Living Biblically

Christopher GuntyFebruary 26, 20184 min read
If “Living Biblically” can get people thinking and talking about living a life of faith, it might be a good thing, overall. For now, CBS has ordered 13 episodes, and the producers hope it gets picked up for a second season.

Archbishop Lori recalls Christmases past, looks back at 2017

Christopher GuntyDecember 21, 20173 min read
Archbishop William E. Lori recalled that midnight Mass was the highlight of the family Christmas celebrations. The parish where he grew up had a particularly beautiful choir that helped make the Mass a memorable event, even as a kid.

It’s time to talk about gun violence

Christopher GuntyDecember 4, 20174 min read
If we are not distressed by the mass shootings occurring all too frequently around our country, is it any wonder that we are not shocked and distressed by individual killings on the streets of Baltimore?

Director of ‘The Star’ aimed for fresh look at Nativity

Christopher GuntyNovember 9, 20174 min read
Presenting the story of the Nativity from the perspective of the animals allowed the producers and director to see the well-known narrative from fresh eyes. In an interview for the “Catholic Baltimore” radio show, director Timothy Reckart discusses the goals of those who produced the movie, which opens Nov. 17.
