Catholic Church

By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine - And so, once again, issues of social justice are not at the forefront of the problems we confront. It is, rather, for want of truth that the world suffers. For without truth, there can be no justice. Truth, simply understood, is conformity to what is real, not woke imposition of the unreal. The truth, for example, that to an extent we’ve heretofore never dared to interfere with: anatomy really does equal destiny. It is not that a child’s future must remain wholly dependent upon the sex he or she is born with, but rather that being one or the other is one of those biological givens, the acceptance of which confers great and lasting benefit. Not to know this is to insult not justice, but truth.

By Dr. Jeff Mirus, Catholic Culture - Which brings us to what? A fresh emphasis on common ground with the secular world and a new process of Church-wide consultation! I hope someone is inspired somewhere by all this, and I pray it re-energizes a deep commitment to Christ as measured by those sayings of Christ which Catholics today seem to find so very hard.
