By Joseph Hollcraft and Ruth Berghorst, Catholic Exchange - Often, this perceived “right” is deeply rooted in the wish to escape suffering. We become fixated on the belief that control over the uncontrollable can spare us from pain. However, our repeated attempts to seize control resemble grasping at voids. So, how do we address the suffering that is personal, local, or global? Is the essence of life to evade suffering?... Sacred Scripture assures us of many things, notably that suffering is an inevitable part of life. It is not something to be feared; instead, we are encouraged to find joy in and wholeheartedly accept it.

By Archbishop Héctor Aguer, LifeSiteNews - Since Vatican II, progressivism has reigned as the imposition of ecclesial reality; that would be the authentic ecclesial presence.

The data are incontrovertible: empty diocesan seminaries and religious novitiates, communities on the verge of exhaustion, illusions all disproved by an undeniable truth.

By John M. Grondelski, The Catholic Thing - Once again, the Democratic Party seems to be demanding that religious or quasi-religious aspects of a person’s identity be erased in the name of expected partisan benefits.

The result is that practicing Catholics who are unwilling to be part of a naked public square have no place in the Democratic Party but also suffer by being taken for granted by Republicans. (“To whom shall [they] go?” – John 6:68, revised)... The question for Jews now is: Quo vadis?
