Casey Chalk is the author of The Obscurity of Scripture: Disputing Sola Scriptura and the Protestant Notion of Biblical Perspicuity (Emmaus Road Publishing), The Persecuted: True Stories of Courageous Christians Living Their Faith in Muslim Lands (Sophia Institute Press) and Wisdom From the Cross: How Jesus’ Seven Last Words Teach Us How to Live (and Die) (Sophia, 2026).
In the face of increasing hostility towards religion, and especially the Catholic Church, lay Catholics should in fact more fully live their faith.
How “out” should Catholics be in the public square? Depending on the part of the country you live in, your career, and even your coworkers or boss, you might have a very different answer to that question. In some parts of the United States, finding a devout, practicing Catholic is about as rare as seeing a protected species in the wild. In other places, you can barely walk down the street without stumbling into a Catholic who is at least on the spectrum of “practicing.”Related posts
