A Second 'Catholic Moment'? 5:12

16h ago5:12

5:12

By John M. Grondelski On November 5, The New York Times' headline proclaimed: "Victory Changes Nation's Sense of Self." Kamala Harris ran with the Democratic mantra of "American values" and insisted America's self-consciousness mirrors the party's radical woke agenda of abortion-on-demand-through-birth, pretending men are women and vice versa, and …

Catholic Hospitals Must Protect Children from Gender Ideology 6:32

1d ago6:32

6:32

By Bishop James D. Conley Before Christianity came on the scene, ancient Greek and Roman pagans did not consider children to be fully human persons like adults. Indeed, it is not too strong to say that Christianity introduced the concept of children that we have today, in which we give children more concern than adults owing to their vulnerability.…

St. Thomas's Prayer Before Study 6:31

6:31

By Michael Pakaluk But first: God our Father, giver of life, we entrust the United States of America to your loving care. You are the rock on which this nation was founded. You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Reclaim this land for your glory and dwell among your people. Send your Spi…

Some Notes on Resistance 5:55

4d ago5:55

5:55

By Francis X. Maier By the time this column is read, the 2024 election will be decided. Or nearly so. And since what I say will affect no one's vote, and I don't know the outcome as I write, I can be candid. Simply put: My wife, our youngest son (who lives with us), and I all voted on Tuesday against the Democratic Party ticket at every level. The …

Do you have friends or family members who are away from the Catholic church? Do you long to bring them back? Dr. Edward Sri offers suggestions on sharing the faith with those we love. From finding the right words to the right timing, there are ways to approach this seemingly daunting task with the Lord’s grace, love, and compassion. Snippet from th…

Pride, After a Fall 5:13

5d ago5:13

5:13

By Anthony Esolen I am relieved to find that Pope Francis has refrained from saying that someday we may be conferring, or pretending to confer, Holy Orders upon women. It keeps alive the possibility that the churches East and West may reunite. It averts an inevitable and devastating schism. It allows the faithful to retain their trust that, as Sigr…

The Constitution and Religious "Concessions" 6:08

6d ago6:08

6:08

By Robert Royal A crucial presidential election takes place tomorrow. This site operates under tax-exempt, non-profit status, which does not permit us to engage in partisan politics - let alone endorse candidates. But we're The Catholic Thing and have the constitutional right to comment on Catholic things. There are several such things in play this…

An Illuminating Portrait of the Young Jesus 5:58

7d ago5:58

5:58

By Fr. Brian A. Graebe "Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300-1350" recently opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to glowing reviews. A collection of over 100 objects from around the world, the exhibition traces the emergence of Siena, a major stop along the Via Francigena connecting Rome to Canterbury, as a fulcrum of artistic innovation on the cu…

Time, Hope, and All Souls 5:29

8d ago5:29

5:29

By Stephen P. White God, whose love is infinite, loves a finite number of people. He may love everyone, but the number is still finite. I read somewhere that the total number of human beings who have ever lived is estimated to be somewhere north of 100 billion. That's a lot of humans. How one estimates such a number is somewhat obscure to me, but i…

The All-Hallows Choir 5:27

9d ago5:27

5:27

Christians, and particularly the Saints, have a record of flourishing under the least likely circumstances. The reader with even a passing acquaintance with Christian history will be familiar with this. They, and we, when we persist to victory, are undefeated even through defeat. For if God is for us, who can be against us? The faithful Christian w…

Some Reflections about Reformation Day 5:42

10d ago5:42

5:42

On this day, the 31st of October, All Hallows' Eve, many of our Protestant brothers and sisters celebrate Reformation Day - the momentous day in 1517 when the Augustinian friar Martin Luther nailed his famous 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. The date always brings to mind my return to the Catholic Church some thirt…

But first a note: Be sure to tune in tomorrow night - Thursday, October 31st at 8 PM Eastern - to EWTN for a new episode of the Papal Posse - and the last for Synod Central - on 'The World Over.' TCT Editor-in-Chief Robert Royal and contributor Fr. Gerald E. Murray will join host Raymond Arroyo to discuss the conclusion of the second Synod on Synod…

How to Live Sunday (Keep Holy the Sabbath Part 2) 22:39

22:39

What does it mean to keep holy the Sabbath? What does living Sunday as a Catholic look like? This episode is the second part of a two part series addressing these questions and more. Dr. Edward Sri shares practical tips on how we can live this sacred day and receive Jesus’s gift of rest. Snippet from the Show Man wasn't made for the Sabbath, the Sa…

Rites (and Wrongs) of Democracy 5:57

12d ago5:57

5:57

I am not sad to be living abroad during this election season. The Atlantic may not be a complete buffer from all the silliness and vitriol swamping American democracy, but it's at least a filter. My diagnosis of our civic decadence is hardly original: the connection between the increasing dysfunction of American public life and a decline in religio…

Roman Waters 5:58

13d ago5:58

5:58

The English poet John Keats spent the last years of his short life in Rome, wrote most of the handful of great poems that have made him famous in the Eternal City, died - and is buried - there. His tombstone in the Protestant Cemetery (in Italian, wonderfully called the Cimitero Acattolico, i.e. "A-Catholic" = Non-Catholic Cemetery) bears the inscr…

The Blind Man Who Sees 5:14

14d ago5:14

5:14

By Fr. Paul D. Scalia We hear very little about the people our Lord heals. That's not surprising. The miracles are to reveal and teach us about the Lord, not those He healed. So, when we hear about blind Bartimaeus in today's Gospel (Mark 10:46-52), we could easily pass over him as just another blessed recipient of Jesus' mercy. But he plays a bigg…

One, Many Cardinal Fernández Fiascos 7:17

15d ago7:17

7:17

The flagship of the fleet, the Holy See Ship Synodality, is in dire straits (leaks about the final document that will be issued today suggest it will be, for those with radical hopes, a disappointment). HSS Synodality took a serious hit last December with the fiasco of Fiducia supplicans regarding the blessing of same-sex couples, and began listing…

He's Just a Girl Who Can't Say 'No!': A Review of 'Conclave' 5:38

16d ago5:38

5:38

Conclave, Edward Berger's new film, is based on the novel of that title by Robert Harris, which the movie mostly follows. The book has a curious beginning: the death of Pope Francis. Well, there's an author's note that ends with this disclaimer: "despite certain superficial resemblances. . .the late Holy Father depicted in Conclave [is not] meant t…

The Conciliar Circularity of Synodality 5:29

18d ago5:29

5:29

Logicians have identified - and demolished - what they term a "circular argument." Basically, to propose an example, a circular argument goes something like this: The synodal Church is the Church foreseen by the Second Vatican Council. Why? Because the Second Vatican Council foresaw the synodal Church. In a circular argument, the conclusion is in t…

Some New Notes on an Expiring Synod 21:46

18d ago21:46

21:46

Veteran Vatican journalist Joan Lewis and TCT Editor-in-Chief Robert Royal discuss some of the novelties and oddities about the Synod on Synodality in its final days – including the news that before the current session began some of the bishops got together and asked for a clear definition of synodality, which still remains unclear.…

Is Your Sunday Sacred? (Keep Holy the Sabbath Part 1) 25:06

18d ago25:06

25:06

Do we approach Sunday as something sacred? Is the Sabbath the ordering principle for our lives? Does Sunday set the tone for our entire week? Cultural challenges today make it more difficult than ever to keep Sunday from getting lost in the weekend. Dr. Edward Sri takes a step back to look at this dilemma through a biblical and historical lens in t…

The Decomposition of Synodality 6:19

6:19

By Dominic V. Cassella Today, October 22, 2024, marks the twentieth anniversary of the death of Louis Bouyer, the French Catholic priest who is seen as too Progressive by some traditionalist Catholics and too traditional by many liberal Catholics. With Hans Urs von Balthasar and Joseph Ratzinger, however, Bouyer was among the founders of the great …

What Are Synods Good For? 5:07

20d ago5:07

5:07

By Msgr. Hans Feichtinger It may seem more difficult to answer the above question than it actually is. The Fathers of the Church who, as opposed to us, had deep synodal experience, have provided quite a clear answer: Synods are good for keeping the Church unified in the one faith in the one Saviour. They are good for defining and clarifying this fa…

The Wages of Sin Paid by the Innocent 5:03

21d ago5:03

5:03

By David G Bonagura, Jr. After years of bankruptcy litigation, my diocese has just agreed to a record $330 million payout to victims of sexual abuse by clergy. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles made even that hefty sum look small with an $880 million settlement. In these and many other cases, all of the diocese's parishes will be forced to contribute …
