Almost forty years ago thousands of Christians were being arrested throughout the country for blocking abortion clinic doors. Here’s my first-hand account of what we did and why we did it—and how it changed the pro-life movement for both good and ill.
Fr. James Martin recently argued that “gay” men should be ordained priests, in spite of explicit Vatican guidelines against the practice. What are the problems of ordaining even celibate men with same-sex attraction as priests?
When it comes to giving to the Church and to charity, how much of one’s income should Catholics give? We’ll look at what the Church has said over the years.
For those who recognize the severe crisis in the Church, there’s a temptation to black-pill: to see only the chaff and none of the wheat. But that’s another way Satan pulls souls away from God.
In today’s world, creating a sane and sanctifying home life is incredibly difficult. Here are ten pillars to increase your chances of success.
Candace Owens has created a podcasting empire based on wild conspiracy theories, but the Tyler Robinson trial is revealing cracks in the facade. We’ll look both at her and the problem of internet “personalities.”
For years the “Unite the Clans” movement tried to bring all traditional Catholic groups together under a common cause. Is this still possible after the SSPX consecrations?
The Vatican issues two decrees related to the SSPX episcopal consecrations, one on the penalties imposed and another on the procedures for those who wish to leave the SSPX. Who exactly is excommunicated, and does this mean a Catholic can’t attend an SSPX Mass?
The key issue surrounding the upcoming SSPX episcopal consecrations is whether they are justified by a “crisis” in today’s Church. Is there a crisis, and if so, what is its nature and what responses are legitimate?
Stephen Spielberg’s big-budget movie “Disclosure Day” is a failed attempt to capture our fascination with aliens and the spiritual consequences their disclosure might bring.
Recently the Archbishop of Detroit spoke of Islam as if he were himself a devout Muslim. Sadly, this is just the latest example in a decades-long love affair between the Catholic hierarchy and Islam.
The upcoming SSPX episcopal consecrations have revealed the woeful state of Catholic catechesis, both from its critics and its supporters.
The SSPX says it needs to consecrate new bishops in order for it to survive. But that raises the question: does it really need to survive?
Non-human intelligences including AI, aliens, and demons are in the news, and now a well-known exorcist has been removed from office for suggesting that alien sightings might actually be demonic in origin.
We take a look at Pope Leo’s highly anticipated encyclical on AI, which was released with much fanfare this week.
Thomas Massie’s defeat in his primary election shows that the Republican Party is Trump’s Party. But is that a good thing?
A Catholic Zionist organization recently released a theologically-confused manifesto titled “For Zion’s Sake: A Catholic Appeal in Support of Israel.” We’ll break down what it got wrong, and what Catholics should—and should not—believe about the modern state of Israel.
As the SSPX episcopal consecrations approach, both the Vatican and the Society are issuing battling statements. Is there hope for a reconciliation?
Pope Leo just celebrated his first anniversary in the papal office. How’s he doing? How should Catholics evaluate a pope’s time in office? Should they even do so?
Since the 1960’s two separate religions—progressive Catholicism and traditional Catholicism—have co-existed within the one Catholic Church. What does this mean for the future of the Church?
