Catholic Church

By David Nussman, ChurchMilitant - Toward the end of the speech, Fr. Cantalamessa said of modern times: The world has sunk very low; someone has written that sex "has gone to our brains." We need something very strong to break this kind of narcosis and intoxication with sex. We need to reawaken in human beings a nostalgia for the innocence and simplicity that they long for in their hearts, even if those hearts are quite often covered with sludge.

By Rev. James V. Schall, S.J., The Catholic Thing - The brief “reading” for the midday Office on Tuesday of Holy Week is taken from 1 Corinthians 1, the famous passage that reads: “The Jews demand ‘signs’ and the Greeks look for ‘wisdom’, but we preach Christ crucified – a stumbling block to the Jews and an absurdity to the Gentiles.”
