| Pope releases long-awaited Apostolic Exhortation ‘Amoris Laetitia’...Posted: Pope Francis’ summary document on the two synods on the family released today does not explicitly allow remarried divorcees to receive holy Communion as some had feared — but it comprehensively covers complex pastoral challenges to the family, in a long text that leaves much open to interpretation. Running to over 60,000 words and 325 paragraphs... |
| Full text of Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation ‘Amoris Laetitia’...Posted: The Joy of Love experienced by families is also the joy of the Church. As the Synod Fathers noted, for all the many signs of crisis in the institution of marriage, the desire to marry and form a family remains vibrant, especially among young people, and this is an inspiration to the Church. As a response to that desire, “the Christian proclamation on the family is good news indeed”... |
| Fulton J. Sheen’s ‘Victory over Vice’ is a joy to read and a nightmare to review...Posted: Is there anyone reading this who has not heard of Fulton Sheen? The man was a priest and a bishop, but his legacy remains chiefly around his gift as a communicator. He gave sermons, wrote books, and proclaimed the Gospel in ways one would expect of a man of his calling, but there was something else besides. He was one of the first to see the potential of the media... |
| ‘Amoris Laetitia’: A tale of two documents...Posted: The Pope’s new apostolic exhortation on the family, Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love), is a puzzling document. In fact, at times it seems two different documents. One explores almost every threat to marriage in the modern world — as well as how to deal with them, both in the public square and in the intimate recesses of the human heart... |
| Devotion to a heroic priest who died on the Titanic is growing...Posted: Fr Hugh Allen, abbot of the Norbertines in Chelmsford, once told me that he had a devotion not to St John Vianney, the “Curé d’Ars”, but to the curé’s successor. The saint ate very little, spent most of his day hearing confessions, slept a few hours each night and prayed much. Imagine how the next curé felt when parishioners reminded him of the sanctity of his predecessor... |
| The Pope's new document on marriage: 12 things to know and share...Posted: is called Amoris Laetitia (Latin, “the joy of love”), and it is what is known as a “post-synodal apostolic exhortation.” An apostolic exhortation is a pastoral document in which the pope exhorts the Church. Although it contains doctrine, its primary focus is on pastoral care. (Apostolic exhortations are different than encyclicals... |
| Friday is still a day of penance. Don’t let it be just like any other day.....Posted: Contrary to common misconception, abstinence from meat on Fridays throughout the year has never been abolished. It was not abolished by Vatican II. It was not abolished by Pope Pius VI or Pope St. John Paul II. It was not abolished by the 1983 Code of Canon Law. It remains the universal law of the Latin Church — even if not everyone has to obey it (more on this in a bit)... |
| First thoughts on the English version of Pope Francis’ ‘Amoris laetitia’...Posted: There are as one might expect in a document of this length and written with access to the kinds of resources a pope commands, many good things said about marriage in Amoris. Whether those things speak with any special profundity or clarity is better left, I think, for each reader to decide individually. That said, however, one must recall that Francis is not a systematic thinker... |
| The Crusades were a response to Islamic Jihad...Posted: Following 9/11, there was renewed interest in the Crusades as explanations were sought for the brutal attacks. As terrorist attacks have continued throughout the years, and now with the rise of the Islamic State, this interest in the Crusades has not abated. Unfortunately, increased interest has not necessarily translated into increased knowledge... |
| Pope's hymn to family “is a matter of reaching out to everyone”...Posted: When you get to the part of Amoris Laetitia where the Pope says, “I certainly value feminism,” seeing the statement in a document of the Magisterium is enough to drop one’s jaw. And, indeed, there’s more where it came from... most of which you’ll find in Chapter Eight. Yet while Francis himself warns against a “rushed reading” of the product... |
| Christian filmmakers should be witnesses, not preachers...Posted: While some of these movies were successful at the box-office, movie critics rarely praised them and the public at large barely knew about them. The latest Christian film to enter into the cinema conversation is God’s Not Dead 2. Unfortunately, it too received an enormous amount of negative criticism. The Chicago Sun-Times called it a “a two-hour... |
| How I learned to stop nitpicking at Mass...Posted: While I was raised Catholic it was not until my sophomore year of college that I went to my first Extraordinary Form Mass (Traditional Latin Mass). The guy I had a crush on really liked it, and once we started dating I began to attend it with him regularly. At first the EF Mass seemed strange and distant and I had to scramble to follow along I my missal... |
| Countdown to Krakow: An interview with papal biographer George Weigel...Posted: George Weigel is the author of the biography of Pope John Paul II, Witness to Hope. Few can claim to know the most famous son of Poland better than he. What most people don’t know is that Weigel has spent most of July in Krakow for more than twenty years with the Tertio Millennio Seminar on the Free Society. I asked him about the changes he has seen in the city over the last two decades and what Pope Saint John Paul II might say to the World Youth Day pilgrims that will descend upon the city... |
| Meet the Dominican friar who was mistaken for an armed KKK klansman...Posted: Meet Father Jude McPeak, a Dominican friar, an active member of the St. Paul’s Catholic Church network, and the man of the cloth whose great habit contributed to the biggest false alarm IU has encountered since Read Residence Center’s most recent literal false alarm. He’s actually been an active member of the community since he became an ordained priest and came to St... |
| Everything you ever wanted to know about marriage and annulments but were afraid to ask...Posted: While anticipation is building for Pope Francis’ upcoming apostolic exhortation “Amoris Laetitia” (or “The Joy of Love”), it seems an opportune moment to address uncertainties and misunderstandings many have about the Church’s actual teachings on marriage, annulments, divorce and access to Holy Communion. What is a sacramental marriage in the Church’s eyes... |
| A field guide to Dominicans and other terrors...Posted: There’s been a lot of chortling over the panicked students of Indiana University. Are you laughing? Not nice. Not nice at all. It’s a confusing world! It’s very difficult for young people to tell the difference between a priest who is praying for you, and a murderous, racist thug who’d just as soon whip you to death as look at you... |
| When were the authors of the New Testament born?Posted: It's surprising, but with a little sleuthing, we can get good estimates of when the authors of the New Testament were born. Let's put on our detective hats and see what we can learn about Paul and his circle of New Testament authors. Let's start with Saint Paul. We first meet Paul in Acts 7:58, at the stoning of Stephen... |
