Catholic Church

By Randall Smith, The Catholic Thing - There are very different kinds of “Catholic” colleges and universities, depending on how they view their Catholic identity.  Some pronounce themselves “faithful to the Magisterium,” and say their calling and mission is “from the heart of the Church.”  Others describe themselves as universities “in the Catholic tradition” or, more vaguely, “in the Jesuit tradition.”

By Father John Cush, EWTN News - What do I mean by the doctrine of concomitance? Namely this: that when we receive Holy Communion under the form of the consecrated Host, we receive the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And that when we receive Holy Communion under the form of the Precious Blood in the chalice, we receive the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - Do we, as a nation, still believe that human rights are established by “Nature and Nature’s God,” not by legislatures or courts or even by international accords? Do we still believe that a just government must necessarily be strictly limited in its powers? Are we committed to the freedom of speech and freedom of religious exercise guaranteed by the 1st Amendment?

By Kim Tisor,  Church Militant - The archdiocese of Boston is "subtly" discrediting the National Men's March, which attracted hundreds of men and their families at events in D.C., Baltimore and Tallahassee over the past year. In a statement last month from the archdiocese, it said it would "focus all its attention and support on the March for Life in January." It further advised parishes and schools not to publicize or support other marches, adding, "It is important this commitment be understood."
