Junipero Serra, Patron of Vocations
America's Golden Calf Moment | Carl E. Olson | Led by the murky metaphysics of Judge Anthony Kennedy, the U.S. plunges ever deeper into the dictatorship of relativism.
The Incoherent, Dangerous Formulations of Justice Kennedy | Russell Shaw | Does Kennedy imagine he is being magnanimous in allowing free speech under the First Amendment to those who disagree with him?
After Obergefell: The Effects on Law, Culture, and Religion | Sherif Girgis | The revisionist view of marriage that the Supreme Court has taken for granted is actually a blueprint for more fragmentation, more broken hearts and homes.
On Court-Imposed “Liberty” | Fr. James V. Schall, SJ | The Obergefell decision postulates a sterile kind of love—an imitation love that partakes neither of marital love nor of true friendship based on virtue.
Farewell Reality | Robert R. Reilly | Justice Kennedy and the other Justices joining him in this decision have violated the principle of non-contradiction and have passed over into insanity.
We've Been Here Before: Marriage and the Room of Tears | Fr. Robert Barron | Cardinal George often warned against the incursions of an increasingly aggressive secular state, which will first force us off the public stage into privacy and then seek to criminalize those practices of ours that it deems unacceptable
The Church and the “New Normal” | George Weigel | The marriage battle was lost in the culture long before it was lost in the courts
What’s the Best Way to Love Those with Same-Sex Attraction? | Carrie Gress, PhD | Janet E. Smith discusses an upcoming conference designed to assist those who minister to those with same-sex attraction.
Black Bench, D.C. | John S. Hamlon | The question before the Supreme Court is whether states will have any voice at all in how they see and handle marriage.
Cosmos, Crisis, and Thanksgiving: A Reflection on Laudato Si’ | Thomas S. Hibbs | In his encyclical, Pope Francis offers an explicitly sacramental response to the danger of the modern person being lost in the cosmos.
Concerning the "Ecological" Path to Salvation | Fr. James V. Schall, SJ | The most problematic issue that Pope Francis’ earth-warming advocacy brings up is its scientific status; at best, it is opinion backed by some evidence
"Laudato Si'" and Romano Guardini | Fr. Robert Barron | The influence of the theologian and cultural critic Guardini and his distinctive take on modernity is evident throughout Pope Francis' encyclical
Seeing Beyond Nature to Creation | Carl E. Olson | For Pope Francis, says theologian Dr. William Cavanaugh, we cannot really get to the heart of creation, ecology, or economics without theology.
This Father’s Day: Vow to be a Committed Catholic Father | Matthew James Christoff | While there are numerous ways to categorize and analyze Catholic fatherhood, one way is to consider how Catholic men live out truth and mercy as fathers.
Cinematic Treasure in the Mind's Eye | Nick Olszyk | Pixar's "Inside Out" is fun, delightful and touching, perfect for an afternoon outing with the little ones.
Pope Francis and the Absurdly Vexed Calendar Question | Dr. Adam A. J. DeVille | The notion of going into schism over a calendar is wholly without logic, but we are not in the realm of logic here.
Why I Welcome "Laudato Si’" | Leroy Huizenga | Francis' encyclical may have problems here and there, but it’s our job as Catholics first to listen, to read the encyclical, to pray through it, to interpret it faithfully.
An encyclical for people who don’t read encyclicals | Christopher S. Morrissey | The pope's "Laudato Si'" offers us a chance to rediscover love, beauty, and meaning in life.
