Catholic Church

By Dr. Jeff Mirus, Catholic Culture - There is a lesson in this that even the great St. Paul did not learn immediately, for it was only after considerable experience that Paul resolved to know nothing among the Corinthians “except Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor 2:2). Peter seemed to know from the first that you don’t fish for men with the bait of theological subtlety; you fish for men by loving them enough to tell them the truth about Jesus Christ.

By Msgr. Charles Pope - As we all know, this was perhaps the strangest Easter that any of us have experienced  at least collectively. The liturgical calendar shouts new life and victory over the grave, and yet throughout the world, many are hunkered down in the fear of death. Despite the Easter glow these are dark days for many who suffer illness or economic stress. But, to be sure, the first Easter was experienced in great uncertainty and danger.

By Martina Moyski, Church Militant - Bishop Joseph Strickland of the diocese of Tyler, Texas is renowned for his stalwart faith in the midst of brutal attacks on the Church, as well as his creativity and fidelity in responding to them… In the interview below, Bp. Strickland explained to Church Militant how the St. Philip Institute is "growing by leaps and bounds" and how "in these dark times people need real hope and real joy," something the center is providing.

By Msgr. Charles Pope, EWTN News - You and I, though we face judgment one day, are now living in a time of grace and mercy. During our time in this world, God extends every necessary grace to save us. God showers us with sanctifying and actual graces, instructs us with his word; heals us with his sacraments; gives us Mary and the saints to inspire us and pray for us; and instructs us through the sacred teachings of the Church… And all of this points to the kairos of the sacrament of confession. Kairos is a Greek word for a special or particularly opportune moment; something which is fitting or apt for a particular time.
