By Regis Martin, National Catholic Register - God comes among us as man, he enters into the whole drama of the human condition, including all the anguish and fear that threaten to engulf us the moment danger strikes. “God could not become man in any other way,” writes Hans Urs von Balthasar in The Christian and Anxiety, “than by coming to know human fear and by taking it upon himself.” How, indeed, could he have truly become one of us if he were to stop short of that particular threshold?

By Fr. Don Bosco Onyalla, CNA - Because “vaccines or drugs may have side effects on the citizens, we must be convinced of the safety of the same and preservation of the citizens' dignity.”... “Everything should be done with maximum openness, and testing should not be carried out on unsuspecting citizens,” he added...

By Deborah Castellano Lubov - How can one possibly try to wrap their mind around, somewhat rapidly, the countless ways a beloved pontiff, genius, and now saint, changed the world during his 26-year pontificate that drew with a close on April 2, 2005, on Divine Mercy Sunday?... A new work by Patrick Novecosky, titled ‘100 Ways John Paul II Changed the World,’ and published by Our Sunday Visitor, seeks to do just that, and does so as Monday, May 18, marks the 100 year anniversary of the Polish Pontiff’s birth.
