I Am the Immaculate Conception 19:27

13h ago19:27

19:27

What can we learn from the dogma of the Immaculate Conception? In this special episode recorded at the Grotto where Mary appeared to St. Bernadette in Lourdes, Dr. Sri explores the profound meaning of the Immaculate Conception and how Mary is a model of holiness for each one of us. Drawing from the life of St. Bernadette, Dr. Sri explains how this …

Home Free: a review of 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever' 6:21

15h ago6:21

6:21

By Brad Miner. But first a note from Robert Royal: I'm grateful for the way we're moving steadily along in our funding drive, but we frankly need to step things up. Some readers have written to say that they will give later for various reasons. And that, of course, is fine. Still, there's no time like now. And it's by having a sense - now - of what…

England's New Slaughter of the Innocents 12:20

1d ago12:20

12:20

But first a note from Robert Royal: Today we have two commentaries on a horrific development in England - the approval of an assisted suicide law. Fr. Kiely writes from London; Professor Esolen from closer to home. Before final approval, there are still some hurdles for the proponents to get over. But we know from sad experience in other countries …

Take Courage - Wait for the Lord 6:33

3d ago6:33

6:33

By Fr. Thomas G. Weinandy. In the Office of Readings recently, a second-century anonymous author exhorted his readers to "take courage." This counsel brought to mind an event from my distant past that still resonates as we begin this Advent season. I was about to begin my doctrinal studies at King's College, and it was dark when I arrived at our Ca…

The Path to Weariness 6:59

4d ago6:59

6:59

By Father Raymond J. de Souza But first a note from Robert Royal: Fr. de Souza lays out a series of interesting events in today's column, which point towards a different spirit and direction for the Church in the very near future. But NOW is the time to keep the faith as a living energy and to think through where, precisely, we need to go. That's a…

The New Song 6:49

5d ago6:49

6:49

By David Warren. But first a note from Robert Royal: As David Warren argues today - and we all always need to keep in mind - we've all been given a great gift that transcends all our earthly concerns. We experienced something of the heavenly banquet yesterday in our Thanksgiving Day celebrations. But today we must be back offering our own gifts. Th…

The New World and Thanksgiving 6:03

6d ago6:03

6:03

By Stephen P. White. Thanksgiving is the quintessential American holiday. No other holiday captures so well the history, temperament, and aspirations of this nation. The distinctive traditions of Christmas, for example - the tree, the carols, Santa Claus - are decidedly, and charmingly, Old World traditions. The Fourth of July is a riot of firework…

The Church as Librarian II 5:51

7d ago5:51

5:51

In my previous column, I recommended that every diocese establish at least one library, as part of the Church's mission to be the Mater et magistra ("Mother and teacher"), to a barbarian world. I described the kinds of books I have found at antique stores and junk shops, and even our town dump, whence I have gathered complete hardcover sets of the …

How to Have a Simple but Determined Advent 19:21

8d ago19:21

19:21

Advent is a time of preparation as we anticipate the coming of Jesus at Christmas. How are you getting ready this season? Dr. Edward Sri challenges us to have a focused Advent season and provides ideas on little things we can do that would make a profound difference in our hearts and lives. Snippet from the Show Mountains are being moved in our sou…

No Country for Old Men 6:10

8d ago6:10

6:10

By Randall Smith But first a note from Robert Royal: Thanks to everyone who responded yesterday to the opening of our end-of-year fundraising drive. Your generosity is what enables all of our activities. But we're only at the beginning and need to move ahead swiftly if we're going to be able to bring you the very best in Catholic commentary every m…

A Tale of Faith & Reason 5:34

9d ago5:34

5:34

I've got some surprising news. It was surprising to me, at least, and will probably be a surprise to you as well. This very month, November 2024, marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Faith & Reason Institute, the umbrella non-profit organization under whose auspices The Catholic Thing, our TCT Courses, the Fides et Ratio semina…

True Kingship 5:30

10d ago5:30

5:30

What does it mean to be a king? That's at the heart of the conversation between Pontius Pilate and our Lord. (see John 18:33-37) Pilate stands there as a representative of the Roman Empire, possessing some kingly authority and wanting more, seeing kingship as simply having power. For him, a king rules by force. Jesus, on the other hand, stands as a…

Why Does God Judge on the Basis of Good and Evil? 6:26

11d ago6:26

6:26

As the liturgical year comes to an end, the Church's readings become decidedly eschatological, focusing on the Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell. A recent Sunday reading from Daniel tells us, "Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake; some shall live forever, others shall be an everlasting horror and disgrace."…

The Drama and the Dogma 5:26

12d ago5:26

5:26

I recently saw a request on social media for people to say why they were Christians in five words or less. I was tempted to paraphrase Chesterton's reason for his Catholicism and use three words: "It is true." Then I remembered novelist and Catholic convert Walker Percy, when asked why he had converted to Catholicism, responded: "What else is there…

Hannah's Most Illustrious Child 6:14

13d ago6:14

6:14

By Michael Pakaluk But first a note: Be sure to tune in tonight - Thursday, November 21st at 8 PM Eastern - to EWTN for a new episode of the Papal Posse on 'The World Over.' TCT Editor-in-Chief Robert Royal and contributor Fr. Gerald E. Murray will join host Raymond Arroyo to discuss the Vatican's new Mayan rite, the U.S. bishops on President Trump…

On the Matter of Young Adults 6:11

14d ago6:11

6:11

In the late 1960s, the University of Notre Dame was still an all-male institution. The Vietnam War was in full swing. So were the campus protests. The draft still applied. Illegal drugs were just starting to make an appearance. And South Bend winters had all the charm of a Soviet gulag camp in the Arctic. Into the bleak wasteland of February 1969 -…

St. Bernadette of Lourdes: Trusting God Completely 15:25

15d ago15:25

15:25

Join Dr. Edward Sri as he leads a pilgrimage in Lourdes, France. Through the story and experiences of St. Bernadette of Lourdes, we see what it looks like to completely trust and surrender to God. By allowing God to come in and work in our souls, pure clear water has the opportunity to come out of the filth in our lives. Snippet from the Show Somet…

The Church as Librarian 5:39

15d ago5:39

5:39

I am an inveterate rummager in the ruins of an ancient civilization. Our own. But I am only one man. That is why I believe that the Church must take up this task of preservation, or rather must seize the opportunity to become, once again and in the broadest sense, Mater et Magistra (Mother and Teacher) to a barbarian world. Let me suggest one means…

A Different Kind of Listening 5:39

16d ago5:39

5:39

The Dante's post-election crowing and whinging are both already wearying. The race is decided. What matters now is not endless analyses of how or why the winners won (that's best left to journalists, political consultants, and other practitioners of dark arts), but what they will do. I expect a lot. But before the recent campaign passes into the me…

Memento Mortuorum 5:07

17d ago5:07

5:07

By David G Bonagura, Jr. Rummaging through my desk last month, I uncovered a single sheet of white paper. A dozen names were written in black ink. I knew immediately what the sheet was for. Each November, my high school and college almae matres invite their alumni to submit names of deceased loved ones to be remembered at Masses in their chapels. T…

England Rediscovers Christian Persecution 5:22

18d ago5:22

5:22

By Auguste Meyrat The Catholic Church recently celebrated the feast of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales, in which "hundreds of British men and women died for their [Catholic] faith in wake of the dispute between the Pope and King Henry VIII during the 16th century," forty of whom were selected to represent people who made the mistake of contr…

Brothers in Christ: Caravaggio's 'The Calling of Saints Peter and Andrew' 6:13

19d ago6:13

6:13

By Brad Miner It's odd and wonderful that these things happen. I'm speaking of the discovery or re-discovery of paintings by great artists. In some cases, they are complete surprises (a masterwork previously unknown or, anyway, lost to history); in other cases, a work well-known, but misattributed. I've written previously here about two such occurr…

On the Giving and Receiving of Honor 5:23

20d ago5:23

5:23

By Stephen P. White No one esteems a man for having lived an easy life. No one thinks more of a man for never having faced hardship, trials, or want. We pray that we might be spared such trials ourselves. We are grateful when those we love are spared such sufferings. But we do not admire them for it. There are certain kinds of ease - the ease that …

Dr. E on False Universalism in the Church 6:10

21d ago6:10

6:10

By Casey Chalk Almost twenty years ago, the ecumenical magazine First Things published an article by the great American theologian Cardinal Avery Dulles entitled "Who Can Be Saved?" After a history of Christian discussion of this question, the print edition of the article abruptly ended with the phrase "Who knows." In the full version, available on…

Are you struggling with prayer? How do we fit prayer into our busy lives? How do we teach our children to pray? Dr. Edward Sri, joined by Beth Sri, discuss the importance of prayer and how to navigate common struggles with prayer. Their new book, Pocket Guide to Prayer, goes even deeper into this essential topic. Snippet from the Show Prayer is mor…
