By Joannie Watson, Integrated Catholic Life - Today, let’s look at the virtue of justice. When you hear the word justice, you might think of it in turns of punishment. But this is only looking at one aspect of justice. The Catechism tells us that justice is “the moral virtue that consists in the constant and firm will to give their due to God and neighbor” (CCC 1807). It governs how we relate to God and the world.

By Steve Ray, Crisis Magazine - The conditions for infallibility are that 1) he acts freely as supreme pastor, speaking “ex cathedra,” or “from the chair”—not expressing his own personal opinion, 2) when he intends to specifically define a doctrine binding on the Universal Church and pertaining to the Church’s deposit of faith, and 3) when the definition pertains to and is in harmony with the Church’s constant tradition regarding faith and morals. This is a very high bar that has been invoked only rarely in Church history.

By Fr. Michael Rennier, Aleteia - But our digital presence can never replace the physical world. So what would St. Irenaeus have said about it? He probably would have pointed out that human experience should encompass all of the above. Our interior lives ought to express themselves in real, physical actions and experiences... His advice would probably be simple. Make the extra effort. Go to the party. Take a walk. Put down the phone and play with the kids. God has given us physical bodies and placed us in a material world. Get out there and enjoy it.
