Catholic Church

By Marcellino D'Ambrosio, Ph.D., Catholic Exchange - In speaking to us as seed, Jesus is saying, “Be careful. If you don’t make the effort to get thoroughly rooted in your Catholic faith, you just might not make it. If do you manage to survive, you might produce absolutely nothing. But you are called to bear much fruit (Jn 15), to yield a hundredfold, to be a saint, to leave a mark on the lives of many that will last forever. Don’t settle for anything less!”

By Ines A. Murzaku, The Catholic Thing - What is the history behind Hagia Sophia?... For 900 years, Hagia Sophia was the center of the Byzantine Empire: the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople; the place where ecumenical councils were convened and emperors were crowned, and night vigils and majestic processions were held until the fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans on May 29, 1453.

By Chilton Williamson, Jr., Crisis Magazine - Further, liberalism is sinful in itself—sinful in its philosophical assumptions, its moral and political doctrines, and its anti-clerical history, as Felix Sard y Salvany, a Spanish priest in the late 19th century, demonstrated in El Liberalismo es pecato (Liberalism Is a Sin). Thus, a priest who is a liberal is a heretic as well, and a priest who sets his loyalty to the religion of liberalism above his loyalty to the Catholic faith is a traitor.

By Abp. Carlo Maria Viganò, Church Militant - What follows is the response of Abp. Carlo Maria Viganò to the June 17, 2020 open letter of  Sr. Antonietta Potente. In her letter, Sr. Antonietta condemned Abp. Viganò's recent outpouring of support for President Donald Trump, endeavoring to couch her umbrage in the theological tradition of the Church. In his response, Abp. Viganò sets the record straight, delivering a paternal (yet trenchant) rejoinder.
