    • Re-Birth!
      March 4
      The disconnect between marriage and procreation, along with the equating of various forms of “relationships” to traditional marriage, have their consequences among Catholics, too. If we are to read “the signs of the times” as to who is and who isn’t having children, then perhaps it’s a moment for Catholics to abandon their timidity and, as many others falsely claim, to speak “prophetically.”

    • Managing the Decline
      February 11
      Cultural knowledge is evaporating, so – let’s make sure that missives from bishops use the lingo of contemporary journalism, vaporous and ridden with cliches, and let’s discourage priests from spending time to unfold the meaning of Scripture.

    • Charity Starts at Home
      February 4
      Then, there is distortion of mission. The USCCB spends something like $1 million per year on evangelization and catechesis, $1 million on Catholic education, and $2 million on pro-life work. It certainly gives no appearance of being a major advocate of tax relief for Catholic parents who want to send their children to Catholic schools. And yet Vatican II teaches explicitly that parents do not enjoy a right to religious liberty if they have to pay twice to educate their children.

    • Technology is Not Neutral
      January 28
      Not infrequently, we are told that technology, too, with special reference to such things as the laptop and the smart phone, is morally neutral. It all depends on how we use it. With my iPhone, I can type this essay, or I can find pornography. I can file my taxes, or I can gamble away my savings. I can call my friend for a long-overdue conversation, or I can scroll the hours away on the troubled, manicured seas of social media. The choice is mine. How will I use this thing which money and cunning have set in my pocket?

    • Unsung Heroines of the Early Church
      January 14
      Whenever the Roman Canon of the Mass is celebrated, there is also a celebration of the saints, dozens of whom are invoked by the priest at the altar. Among these saints are seven women: Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Cecilia, Agnes, and Anastasia. These holy women were martyred during the third and fourth centuries and are justly celebrated by the Church during the holy sacrifice of the Mass.

  • The Essential Family

    Wisdom from Monsignor Pope: 

    Struggles: Yet what should be obvious seems to be strangely absent from the minds of many. Marriage and family are in crisis in our culture due to the willfully sinful habits of many adults in the areas of sexuality, marriage and family life. 

    Strategy: What are we to do? Preach the word! 

    We must be prepared to unambiguously repropose the wisdom of God’s word to our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 

    Children deserve and have the right to expect two parents, a father and mother, committed to each other until death do they part.
