Catholic Church

By Fr. Nnamdi Moneme, OMV, Catholic Exchange - A man asked me some years ago to anoint his dying wife in hospital. After I had anointed her and gave her viaticum, the couple asked me to also witness their renewal of marriage vows. At that moment of grief, sorrow, and pain connected with death, they once again renewed their commitment to God and to each other as husband and wife, in the presence of their little children.

By Bob Sullivan, Crisis Magazine - How can we protect seminarians? Since seminarians are men, the best way to protect them is to keep homosexual predators out of seminaries and out of positions of authority over those seminaries and the seminarians… While Cupich, Tobin, McElroy and even Cardinal Wuerl, all suggest that Vigano is trying to divert attention away from the real problem… it is evident that they are actually intentionally or obtusely diverting attention from the problem which is actually killing the Church today, and that is the destruction of seminaries and seminarians.

By Msgr. Charles Pope - One of the more interesting and surprising images the Lord used for Himself was “thief.”… But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him (Matt 24:33; Lk 12:39).
