Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers Bible Library A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Pope Francis Tells American Priests: ‘Do Not Leave the Lord of the Tabernacle Alone’ What’s Next for Bishop Strickland? Fr. Raymond de Souza The removal of Bishop Joseph Strickland as bishop of Tyler, Texas, is a story for our time; it could not have been imagined even 10 years ago. It is a tale of partisanship threatening communion, social-media extremism and new rules for the removal of bishops. The removal of a bishop from his diocese is a sad outcome, even if thought best for the common good of the local Church... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lesser evils, the Bishop of Strickland, and don’t drink alone... Ed Condon In Baltimore this week, the public sessions of the USCCB assembly opened with state-of-affairs speeches from the apostolic nuncio, Cardinal Christophe Pierre, and the conference president, Archbishop Timothy Broglio. The nuncio offered a business-as-usual exhortation to the bishops on synodality, evangelization, and encounter with Christ, especially as those things relate to the U.S. bishops’ ongoing project of the Eucharistic Revival... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Holy Eucharist may seem like a lot to swallow for some people. But try as they might, transubstantiation can’t be denied on scientific grounds... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who recently announced her conversion to Christianity, dares to live as if God exists... David Deavel This weekend, the brilliant formerly-Muslim atheist, writer, and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Ayaan Hirsi Ali announced to the world that she is now a Christian. Almost immediately, suspicions about the sincerity and the reality of her newly claimed faith were voiced by both secular thinkers she left behind and some Christians. Are her reasons for conversion good? Does she know what she is doing? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Sunday, None of Us — Not Even the Best of Us — Has All the Talents We Need... Tom Hoopes Jesus tells us that if we invest his talents well here and now it will mean a fuller life now and for eternity, in the Parable of the Talents on the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A. Good to know. One question, though: How does one “invest” God’s talents? Jesus explains what he means in the parable itself, but the Church helpfully provides excellent clues in the other readings this Sunday. This parable is the reason we use the word “talent” the way we do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Providential prospects for Christian unity... Jeff Mirus Reflecting back on the the (potential) Providential trajectory I outlined in Friday’s commentary, I began wondering about how the turmoil we are witnessing in the Church might relate to God’s plans for Christian unity. After all, the multiplicity of different churches and denominations claiming the name “Christian” seriously undermines the Christian claim to be “of God”, and therefore rather obviously dampens the persuasiveness and impact of even an authentic Catholic renewal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your brain’s ‘master switchboard’ is an underappreciated marvel... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The feminist fight isn’t just destroying babies — it’s destroying all of us... Carrie Gress To hear them talk about it, feminists are fighting an uphill battle with the patriarchy, the pay gap, and gender inequality. But after Tuesday’s abortion victories in Ohio, Virginia, and Kentucky, it might just be time for feminists to spike the football and claim their victory: Feminism as an ideology has triumphed in America. Until Tuesday night, hope remained that some pro-life victories were to come post Dobbs. In 2021, Glenn Youngkin shocked pollsters in the off-cycle election by becoming Virginia’s governor... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Bishops Approve Voting Guide That Calls Abortion ‘Preeminent Priority’... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is the most poisonous spider in the world? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vatican Doctrine Office Reaffirms That Catholics Cannot Be Freemasons... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- St. Albert the Great (Albertus Magnus) taught us that the Church and science are in harmony... Dan Burke St. Albert the Great was considered the “wonder and the miracle of his age” by his contemporaries. He was an assiduous Dominican whose accomplishments and gifts to the Church would be difficult to exaggerate. Born around 1206 and joining the Order of Preachers in 1223, Albert quickly became a master of almost every academic subject. Notwithstanding the standards of his own time, he became a pioneer of the natural sciences, both empirical and philosophical. His teachings on nature and theology were revolutionary, and he captured the attention of a young and taciturn Dominican, St. Thomas Aquinas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At USCCB, 2026 is the new 2024... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bishop Strickland Saga: Ousted Bishop Speculates on the Reasons the Vatican Removed Him... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What my Protestant relatives ask me about being a nun... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 of the World’s Most Interesting and Extreme Bridges... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pope’s Sunday Angelus: “Do You Nourish the ‘Oil’ of Your Soul?”... After giving an interview full of digs against American Catholics, papal nuncio Cardinal Pierre gets a frosty reception at the U.S. Bishops’ gathering... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hic Non Est: The Relationship of the Empty Tomb to the Cult of the Saints... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life with fear. Trust in God... Marlon De La Torre Steve simply stared at me for thirty minutes as he thought about my question. Fifteen minutes before this fateful encounter, Steve had entered my office unbeknownst to my secretary with a prepared list of questions on the Catholic faith. In conversation with a mutual friend, Steve was told that I was the “guy” he needed to see to have his questions about God, Jesus, salvation, and hell answered... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15 U.S. Cities and Towns That Look Like They Could Belong in Europe... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Holy See Press Office did something last week that made the Pope look bad... Phil Lawler To avoid any misunderstanding let me begin by saying that what follows is not a criticism of Pope Francis. It is a criticism of the Vatican press office. Last Monday at an audience with the Conference of European Rabbis, Pope Francis did not deliver his prepared speech, explaining that he was not feeling well. That’s perfectly understandable, isn’t it? As he approaches his 87th birthday, we can expect the Pope to make some concessions to his declining health—as he should. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Catholic Cartoon Collection is here... Philip Kosloski Do you remember the “Sunday Funnies?” Were you a big fan of Calvin & Hobbes? Garfield? Peanuts? Well, now we have a Catholic version. Joshua Masterson is a very talented artist, whose work as the “Catholic Cartoonist” on Instagram is gaining him much attention. He is a product of homeschooling and you can learn more about him in this interview with America Magazine. “The Catholic Cartoon” is a slice-of-life humor comic that follows Father Otto, a blond-haired, big-nosed priest encountering the various stresses and joys of service. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Common Sense of the Hillbilly Thomist... Fr. Damian Ference Several months ago, I found myself in small-town Georgia, listening to a career retrospective lecture by Sarah Gordon, one of the most important professors in Flannery O’Connor studies for her work establishing O’Connor’s archives. After interlacing the story of her discovery of O’Connor’s fiction with some of the southern Catholic author’s funniest one-liners, she made a surprising argument, not only to that academic, generally left-leaning audience (I say at the risk of redundancy), but to anyone who was aware of her career as a feminist literary critic. While she had generally attempted to focus simply on what interested her in O’Connor’s short stories and novels, she now argued that... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul McCartney speaks about “times of trouble,” Mother Mary and the Beatles’ song, “Let It Be”... Christopher Kaczor In a new podcast McCartney: A Life in Lyrics, Sir Paul McCartney talks about his most famous songs with the poet Paul Muldoon. The podcast is aimed at “dissecting the people, experiences, and art that inspired McCartney’s songwriting.” A recent episode explored the meaning of the lyrics of the title song of the Beatles’ last album, “Let it Be.” The song arose in times of trouble. War raged in Vietnam, riots rocked the Chicago Democratic convention, and students protested all over the world... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 Mesmerizing Secret Passageways at the Vatican and Around the World... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ousted Bishop Strickland Leads Rosary Outside US Bishops’ Conference Meeting... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There Will Surely Be a Divine Reckoning for Baby Indi’s Death... E. Christian Brugger There’s not much to add to the tragic story of the British health service’s fatal abandonment of Baby Indi Gregory, except that it’s not the end of the story — not for Indi, not for her dad and sister, and not for the reprehensible English judicial system. As has been widely reported, the little 8-month-old had a rare condition called mitochondrial disease. Her parents wished for everything possible to be done to treat the condition... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synod at halftime: Bishop Rhoades on synodality and evangelization... Peter Jesserer Smith Returning from the first session of the Synod on Synodality’s global, monthlong gathering in Rome, Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Indiana, has already seen much the Catholic Church can profit from, especially at the local level for the sake of the church’s evangelization mission. The U.S. synod delegate returns to Rome for the October 2024 session, but spoke with OSV News Oct. 31 to share his takeaways from the first session ahead of the U.S. bishops’ meeting in Baltimore Nov. 13-17, where the synod’s synthesis report and inviting the consultation of the faithful on its work so far, will be part of the discussion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “He is good, this bishop” — Pope Francis raises eyebrows (and hackles) with words of support for Sicily’s Bishop Rosario Gisana, accused of covering up sex abuse... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It took the Babylonian cataclysm 2,600 years ago to pave the way for a renaissance of faithfulness. Will it be the same for America and the West? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Around the world, gravestones with family recipes tell stories of love, grief, and remembrance... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Listen to this beautiful “Swan Sequence,” a 1,200-year-old poem set to music by Logan Norman... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Convoluted trial may boil down to simple question: Is the Pope above the law? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get this entire Catholic website as an instant digital download...
