By Nicolás de Cárdenas, ACI Prensa Staff - Pope Leo XIV on Thursday encouraged Catholic politicians to live coherently as Christians and follow the Gospel, even when performing their public duties in a secular polity... During an Aug. 28 meeting with a delegation of political representatives and civic leaders from the Diocese of Créteil, France, accompanied by Bishop Dominique Blanchet, the Holy Father stated that “a more just, more human, more fraternal world” can only be “a world more imbued with the Gospel.”

By Carlo Cardinal Caffarra, Voice of the Family, 19, May 2017 - At the root of this is the work of Satan, who wants to build an actual anti-creation. This is the ultimate and terrible challenge which Satan is hurling at God. “I am demonstrating to you that I am capable of constructing an alternative to your creation. And man will say: it is better in the alternative creation than in your creation”... This is the frightful strategy of the lie, constructed around a profound contempt for man. Man is not capable of elevating himself to the splendour of the Truth. He is not capable of living within the paradox of an infinite desire for happiness. He is not able to find himself in the sincere gift of himself. And therefore – continues the Satanic discourse – we tell him banalities about man.

By Dr. Donald DeMarco, Catholic Exchange - Love tempers liberty so that it can be shared with others. Love also protects life. The harmonious triad of liberty, life, and love creates the path to happiness. Happiness is a reward, so to speak, for living life in a loving manner where liberty is properly honored. It will be futile to pursue or chase happiness directly. We should be more attentive to living a good life. Happiness will take care of itself.
