Catholic Church

By Derek Rotty, Catholic Exchange - Yet that true fulfillment doesn’t just happen; it doesn’t arrive in our lives completely mature at one moment.  We must act in some way.  Pieper tells us that we must turn toward that true fulfillment of hope.  In the biblical and moral understanding, turning is conversion.  This is precisely why the Church defines conversion as she does: “A radical reorientation of the whole life away from sin and evil, and toward God” (Catechism Glossary).  So, to find our true fulfillment and fulfill our hope, we must be converted, we must turn more fully toward Jesus Christ.

By William Mahoney, Ph.D., Church Militant - Church Militant spoke with Michael Hichborn, president of The Lepanto Institute, who has been investigating and reporting on these organizations for years… "This depletion in funds can be directly linked to the work of The Lepanto Institute, LifeSiteNews, Church Militant and others who have been exposing the promotion of contraception, abortion, homosexuality and even Marxism from allegedly Catholic organizations," he said.

By Fr. Patrick Klekas, Crisis Magazine - Like many others who closely followed last year’s USCCB meetings, I felt powerless in the face of these deliberations. However… I was particularly stuck by the comments from Bishop Daly of Spokane who gave voice to good faith-filled families. He said: These families, that continue to encourage their sons and daughters to priestly and religious vocations, they do have a concern about what is happening here this week. It is a concern that we as the body of bishops, who leading them as their shepherds, need to take very seriously … so that they will want to continue to provide and to encourage those vocations.

By Dorothy Cummings McLean, LifeSiteNews - Students of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family have written a letter to express their “immense concern” over the potential loss of the institute's “identity” with the adoption of new statutes, the firing of key faculty, and the elimination of courses central to the legacy of John Paul II. The institute was re-purposed by Pope Francis in 2017.
