Anniversary of Pope Francis: Richness of Mercy and Compassion, Inside and Out By Fr Dr Santhosh Sebastian Cheruvally | March 14, 2014 Within a short span of papacy of just one year, this man from the periphery has proven to be a man of surprises for a troubled Church and a turbulent world. His convictions, his styles, his teachings and his actions have become both a surprise and a scandal in the direction of calling for a change of perception, much more than that a repentant attention to the matters of personal life, Church and World. Continue Reading... What will your Lenten Pledge be?

Why We Proclaim the Transfiguration of the Lord on the Second Sunday of Lent By Deacon Keith Fournier | March 15, 2014 As we reflect on the Transfiguration of Jesus on this Second Sunday of Lent, let us enter more deeply into the mystery it opens by choosing to live differently. Let us draw encouragement from the account of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ. Let us respond to the invitations of grace in our daily lives in order to grow more fully into the Image and likeness of Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord revealing His Transfigured glory to a world waiting to be born anew. Our Lenten observance is an invitation into an ongoing transformation in Jesus Christ which begins in time and opens up into eternity. It is not meant to be drudgery but opportunity, for those with eyes to see Jesus on that mountain. Wherever we are on the journey, it is good for us to be here. Continue Reading... Kicking the Devil in the Gut! Courageous Archbishop John Nienstedt Survives False Abuse Allegation By Deacon Keith Fournier | March 13, 2014 Today, many evil forces have set their sights on the dissolution of marriage and the debasing of family life. Sodomy, abortion, contraception, pornography, the redefinition of marriage, and the denial of objective truth are just some of the forces threatening the stability of our civilization. The source of these machinations is none other than the Father of Lies. Satan knows all too well the value that the family contributes to the fabric of a good solid society, as well as the future of God's work on earth.- Archbishop John Nienstedt Continue Reading... Deal Hudson: Is Cultural Conservativism the Future of the Religious Activism? By Deal W. Hudson | March 13, 2014 Why do I bring up this story about National Review? It confirmed the direction I have been moving in for some time, one that is being guided by my Catholic understanding of the relationship between politics and culture, and particularly the impact of culture on moral convictions. Those, like Ponnuru, who regard themselves as the champions of conservatism, no longer know who their friends are, and, thus, are no longer interested in rebuilding the movement represented by National Review. As a result, conservatives, whether religiously or philosophically inspired, are looking elsewhere for leadership and inspiration. Continue Reading... Polish Bishops and Pope Francis Expose the Gender Identity Movement By Deacon Keith Fournier | March 13, 2014 The Gender Identity Movement insists upon recognition in the civil law of the State a new found, manufactured right to choose one's gender, and then to change ones mind, at any time. The proponents insist upon civil laws which accommodate, fund, and enforce this new right. Those involved in the activist wing of the movement want to compel the rest of society to recognize their vision of a brave new world or face the Police Power of the State. This is cultural insanity. Pope Emeritus Benedict was absolutely correct, "the profound falsehood of this theory and of the anthropological revolution contained within it is obvious." The Bishops of Poland were correct in warning the faithful of the dangers of the gender identity movement. Gender is a gift and the dangers of the Gender identity Movement must be exposed and opposed. Continue Reading... Why America's Catholics Need an Apocalypse By Deal W. Hudson | March 13, 2014 There is nothing more clarifying to a group or an individual than an apocalyptic moment - when the choice you make in response to that disaster reveals the bottom line, what really matters. Once such moment occurred with the Roe v. Wade decision of 1973, out of which the very powerful and lasting pro-life movement was born. But we need to witness the birth of a larger, more audacious movement, a cultural movement, one that reorients the political towards a higher, more fundamental goal. Continue Reading... Brothers in Arms: St Benedict and St Francis. By Fr Dwight Longenecker | March 12, 2014 How amazingly providential, then that we now have two popes: Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict! Pope Benedict following the Benedictine way by retiring to a life of prayer, study and work while Pope Francis steps on to the world stage to live the life of activity, reform and renewal. The two popes are meeting today, and I am convinced that when Pope Benedict moves to his hermitage in the Vatican, that the two of them will meet on a regular basis to support one another as brothers in arms.
