Everything is (not) Broken, by Francis X. Maier

Note: There are people for whom yesterday was some kind of special day for giving. It takes all kinds to make a world and God bless anyone of a generous spirit who responds to that. Many of you were quite generous to us yesterday at The Catholic Thing and we’re grateful for anything that moves people to such concrete expressions of support. But at The Catholic Thing we try to live and work on a different basis. We don’t tell you that the world is going to end if you don’t give. (It won’t.) We don’t tell you that we can fix everything wrong in the Church and the world. (We can’t.) But we do promise that we will use the support of our generous readers in the best way that we can to keep the Church faithful and the world challenged by reality and truth. That doesn’t come and go on a single day. And neither do the issues we have to face. So our request to those of you who still have not contributed to our end-of-year fund drive is that you take the long view. 2023 is going to be a troubled year. And we need to prepare for it now. Today. Please, click the button. Do your part. Show that you understand the mission of The Catholic Thing. – Robert Royal
