By Walker Larson, Catholic Exchange - In addition to her much-beloved Story of a Soul, St. Therese of Lisieux wrote many poems during her earthly sojourn. She wrote them for herself, to express the longings of her heart, but due to her worldwide fame following her death, we are blessed to have the chance to read these meditations of her soul... The original French versions, according to The Complete Therese of Lisieux, reveal that “Therese’s poetry demonstrates considerable skill as well as a high level of education. Many of the poems were composed to be sung to hymn tunes that were familiar to late nineteenth-century French worshippers.”

By Peter Wolfgang, Catholic Culture - I wrote an article for Catholic Answers three years ago trying to stop, or slow down, an imprimatur for the NRSVue. In my article I quote Robert A.J. Gagnon, a Protestant Scripture scholar whose work is respected across denominational lines, particularly on the Bible and homosexuality. It was Gagnon who first warned that the NRSVue “gaywashes” the Bible, writing in a January 5, 2022 Facebook post: They have now changed ‘sodomites’ to the nebulous ‘men who engage in illicit sex,’ [in 1 Corinthians 6:9] which does not indicate to English readers the connection to homosexual practice provided by the Greek word, contrary to both morphology and context. A textual note added by the NRSVue committee claims that the term is unclear. It isn’t.
