Catholic Church

By Lauretta Brown, EWTN News - The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops addressed the country’s changing political and cultural landscape as its members gathered in Baltimore for their fall plenary assembly Nov. 14-17... The bishops elected new leadership, discussed approaches to pro-life evangelization in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and planned updates to their teaching document on “Faithful Citizenship” in light of current challenges.

By Matt Lamb, LifeSiteNews - The USCCB will not revise its voting guide until after the 2024 election... The guide, titled “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship,” calls abortion the “preeminent” issue for Catholic voters... "The threat of abortion remains our preeminent priority because it directly attacks life itself, because it takes place within the sanctuary of the family, and because of the number of lives destroyed. At the same time, we cannot dismiss or ignore other serious threats to human life and dignity such as racism, the environmental crisis, poverty and the death penalty."

By James V. Schall, S.J., The Catholic Thing - The dominant contemporary “feeling” is that we live in a parsimonious world. Nature is running out of gas. Natural resources are scandalously being “used up,” never to be replaced. Besides, too many people exist on the planet, consuming everything in sight... This doomsday scenario is found in schools, media, governments, churches, and businesses. In the minds of its advocates, its validity is stronger than any faith... Evil is now defined not by sins, but by our greedy use of spare resources.

By Sheila Fullerton, Crisis Magazine - Thanks to the wonder of technology, I have been able to watch the sermon you delivered to the congregation present in Listowel... You said: You rarely hear about sin. We see it, for example, in the legislation of governments. We see it in the promotion of abortion. We see it, for example, in this lunatic approach of transgenderism. We see it, for example, in the promotion of sex between two men and two women. That is sinful. That is mortal sin.
