Catholic Church

By Msgr. Charles Pope, EWTN News - I, like many of you, feel overwhelmed by the events of the past month in Rome. Many an evening, late into the night, I have come before the Lord in the rectory chapel in lament for the confusion and chaos in the Church, the Lord’s beautiful bride and our mother. Oftentimes too in the fourth watch of the night, between 3 and 4 a.m., I return to the chapel, for with my cares I cannot long rest… Reported from Rome are terrible and seemingly impious things at worst, and confusing and ambiguous things at best….

By Fr. Mike Schmitz, Ascension Presents - God may want you to be spontaneous, but he also wants you to be disciplined. How does that work? Well, unless you just want to have no control over you impulses like a dog chasing a squirrel, discipline is a necessary prerequisite to being spontaneous… Spontaneity requires a schedule, Fr. Mike says. God can only introduce new and exciting things into your day once you’ve done the things he put on your path in the first place.

By Mr. Jason Craig, Those Catholic Men - When Donald Trump was elected a whole new group of people and their history came into focus. Essentially, the globalizing and liberalizing elite had for decades taken over all meaningful debate and decision, and the lower strata of the country suffered for it. And they went dismissed and unseen until Trump. Their places and cultures had been decimated. All of these forgotten people came into focus when someone saw them and spoke to them. I am by no means endorsing Trumpism here.. but my point is in the wake-up Trump has given to the elites of this country. The people whose backs were broken to build your towers just got tired of being ignored.
