Catholic Church

By Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, Catholic Culture - Despite conventional wisdom, man has never been able to control the winds and the sea. The account of Jesus walking on the water confirms His divinity after the miraculous multiplication of the loaves and evokes the response of faith. The stroll of Jesus on the turbulent waters offers a variety of practical religious lessons... “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me.” (Ps. 23:4)

By John M. Grondelski, The Catholic Thing - Though it was only in 1950 that the Feast of the Assumption was defined by Pope Pius XII, Catholics have believed that “having completed the course of her earthly life, the Blessed Virgin Mary was taken body and soul to heaven”... High Mariology focused on Mary’s uniqueness. The Assumption was the special privilege of the one who was immaculately conceived (another ecumenical stumbling block). The body of the sinless woman who bore the Body of Christ could not suffer corruption.

By Maike Hickson, LifeSiteNews - There is a new development regarding the discussion as to whether or not Pope Francis’ papal election at the March 2013 conclave was valid. Abp. Carlo Maria Viganò has claimed that a cardinal who participated in the conclave told friends “that he has witnessed facts that render the election of (Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio) null and void.”... In 2022, Viganò expressed his doubts about the validity of the 2013 conclave and requested an “investigation.”

By Charles Lewis, EWTN News - Every Catholic should know the story of St. Maximilian Kolbe, the Polish priest who gave his life to save a condemned prisoner at Auschwitz. He lived out Christ’s words to the fullest: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”... This I knew. But what I didn’t fully understand was the depth and beauty of his Marian theology. It also made me aware of why so many Catholics consecrate themselves to Mary every year.
