Love as a treasured possession
By:
Catherine Cavadini
on
MAY
08
Be ready for Mass this Sixth Sunday of Easter. Catherine Cavadini reflects upon the law of love that Christ lays out in the Gospel: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” “If we love Christ and enter into the intimate relationship that “he himself is,” we will love as Christ loves. Christ’s love will become our new way of life.” She adds, “And then a most beautiful indwelling will happen: “On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you.” This post Love as a treasured possession appeared on Our Sunday Visitor.

4 vital tools to help keep your kids safe during confession (or anywhere else)

Award-winning columnist Simcha Fisher responds to a tweet asking Catholics how they can send their kids to confession when so many priests over the past decades were sexual abusers. Fisher replies by giving parents four tips in how they can help to keep their kids safe: “As Catholics, we believe that confession is a great gift from Christ where we can meet him and he will relieve our burdens and strengthen us. Most priests simply want to give people this gift. It is not necessary either to desanctify the sacrament or to frighten kids and make confession seem like a risky, terrifying place.” This post 4 vital tools to help keep your kids safe during confession (or anywhere else) appeared on Our Sunday Visitor.

Does the Shroud of Turin contradict Scripture?
By:
Msgr. Charles Pope
on
MAY
02
A reader is wondering: “The Easter Gospel mentions the burial cloths that John and Peter found in the empty tomb. The passage makes a point that the cloth around Jesus’ head was separate from the rest. The Shroud of Turin seems to be one continuous cloth that covers his whole body, including the head. Please reconcile this apparent contradiction.” In his latest column, Monsignor Charles Pope quickly explains this contradiction as well as expounds on the reasons to believe in the Shroud of Turin.

Britain’s Catholics prepare for king’s upcoming coronation
By:

MAY

When King Charles III is crowned May 6 in the gothic splendor of London's ancient Westminster Abbey, it will be one of the year's most watched events. The coronation has attracted controversy -- not least over its $125 million price tag during a cost-of-living crisis -- even as opinion polls show dwindling public interest in the monarchy. But despite controversies, it will still be an opportunity to project the soft-power of British royal pageantry and reaffirm Christianity's place in public affairs, including the presence of Britain's small but significant Catholic minority.

Buyer beware: Women’s safety is a key oversight in the abortion pill debate
By:
Elizabeth Kirk

MAY

Over the last several weeks, various courts in the U.S. judicial system — including the Supreme Court — have issued rulings on the legality of the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the abortion drug mifepristone. Even for legal scholars, the decisions have been hard to follow. In a new essay for Our Sunday Visitor, Elizabeth Kirk, director of the Center for Law and the Human Person at The Catholic University of America, clears up the confusion, writing that the plaintiffs in the case are claiming that the safety regulations used in the trial of the drug are not being put in place in real-world applications. Kirk writes: “If the plaintiffs are correct, and the FDA abused its legitimate authority and ignored science in such a way that endangers women, all of us — whatever our views on abortion — should be gravely concerned and eager for a full and fair hearing to take place in court.” This post Buyer beware: Women’s safety is a ke

True faith is open to others, pope repeatedly says in Hungary

MAY

Praising the piety and charity of Hungarian Christians and their commitment to supporting traditional family life, Pope Francis said Christ also calls them to open their hearts -- and perhaps their borders -- to others in need. When it comes to the church or to society, isolationism is not Christian, the pope said in a variety of ways during his visit to Budapest, Hungary, April 28-30.

Alaskan deacon proclaims the Gospel through icons

Simcha Fisher interviews deacon and iconographer Charles Rohrbacher, who says these “windows of heaven” are images that proclaim the Gospel. And images and the Gospel are meant to go together. Deacon Rohrbacher says, “But each icon at its truest is the fruit of prayer.” He adds, “It’s done with love and prayer and intentionality of service, and out of that, at the end, there’s an icon.” The deacon said: “You don’t want to write slogans all over the windows to heaven. You want them to be clear so you can see Christ and Mary and the saints through the images.” This post Alaskan deacon proclaims the Gospel through icons appeared on Our Sunday Visitor.

How gender ideology is co-opting people of goodwill
By:
Kenneth Craycraft

APR

Columnist Kenneth Craycraft discusses the difficulties of supporting people with gender dysphoria or who identify as transgender due to the dominance of other groups and ideologies that distort the issues, making it difficult to have meaningful conversations. Craycraft endorses a recent column by Elizabeth Scalia who provides a template for thoughtful consideration about transgender issues and skillfully frames the broader issue of gender dysphoria and transgenderism. Dylan Mulvaney, who commercializes “performance art” through the “365 Days of Girlhood” TikTok series, is used as an example of someone who hurts the cause of people with gender dysphoria. Craycraft argues that people like Mulvaney prevent authentic debate about real issues of sexual attraction and gender identity and make it difficult for those who genuinely struggle with gender identity to be treated with the love and compassion that they are due.

Turning to Mary in times of crisis
By:
Dr. Robert Fastiggi

APR

Just as the Catholic Church has turned to the Blessed Virgin Mary numerous times in history, so, too, has the tragedy of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic moved many Catholics to pray to Our Lady for help. Perhaps the most vivid example has been Pope Francis, who visited the icon of Maria Salus Populi Romani on March 15 and then had the icon brought to St. Peter’s Basilica for his March 27 extraordinary urbi et orbi blessing. The pope’s witness is clear: Mary is both the Mother of the Church and the Mother of all people. But why should we turn to Mary in times of need, and how has she interceded for the Church throughout history? Find out online.
