By Kennedy Hall, Crisis Magazine - Numerous Catholics have discovered Catholic Tradition in the last few years, many of them because of the lockdowns in 2020 that forced Catholics to think outside the box if they wanted to have access to sacraments. In addition, in 2020, liturgies were streamed online throughout that Holy Week, so many Catholics who had never given the Traditional Mass a second thought found themselves virtually engulfed in a ritual that was so Catholic and yet so foreign and different than what they had ever seen in their parishes.

By Rev. Peter M.J. Stravinskas, The Catholic Thing - The dogma of Mary’s Assumption, celebrated on August 15, teaches that the Lord’s Mother was taken into Heaven, body and soul, since no decay should touch the body of her who bore the Messiah.

By Michael J. Mazza, Catholic World Report - On July 15, 2025, lawyers representing the Archdiocese filed with the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana a list of non-financial commitments it is pledging to assume as part of its Chapter 11 reorganization. Such agreements are common in bankruptcy filings by Catholic dioceses that are largely the result of claims of clergy sexual abuse of minors. The particular promises made in these agreements, however, can vary in number, scope, and duration... Those made by the Archdiocese of New Orleans should cause every member of the faithful there grave concern—especially priests, seminarians, and their families and friends.
