Homosexual Priests In The Church
By Annie Chester
I am sure if you keep up with current news events in the Church you have no doubt heard the recent news about Msgr. Krzysztof Charamsa, a Polish priest who came out as a practicing homosexual a few days before the Synod of Bishops on the family came to order.

The Gissendaner Conundrum ...
By Chris Cappannelli, EdD
This past week, the State of Georgia put Kelly Renee Gissendaner, age 47, to death for her role in planning the murder of her husband, Douglas, in 1998; she was the first woman put to death in the state since the Second World War, and one but a handful of women across the country put to death since the return of capital punishment to the U.S. in 1976.

Why Did Pope Francis Meet with the Lawbreaker Kim Davis?
By Arnold Scott
The visit of Pope Francis to the United States was one of the biggest media stories in a long time. Given how few members of the media are actually observant Catholics, what explains all the glorious attention and reverence he has received? One reason is that our culture has an insatiable appetite for celebrities and the Pope is certainly a global celebrity.

Would You Die for Your Faith?
By Lorrie McNickle
An associate of mine declared this week in the wake of yet another school shooting, that if someone were going to shoot her for being a Christian, her religion would suddenly change. Another associate agreed and said that she didn’t think God would want that for us; he would not want us to die that way.

So the Pope met Kim Davis
By E.M. Wilson
So the Pope met with Kim Davis. And everybody is freaking out about it. And quite honestly, I love the sentiment from non and anti-Catholics who feel betrayed. “Omg I thought Pope Francis was cool and it turns out he’s going to stand with Catholic Church doctrine that unequivocally states that marriage is between a man and a woman. Boo! Hiss!

The Rosary - The Immense Power Within Our Grasp!
By Janet Moore
What do nuclear warfare, satanic priests, and serial killers have in common? What about corrupt and evil governments usurping the rights of its people, and horrific, unjust wars wrought upon Christians by radical Muslim forces?

The Need for Hospitality - According to Pope Francis
By Linda Kracht
The World Meeting of the Families (WMOF) renewed my energy, enthusiasm and love for the Church. But it also exposed a weakness that many Catholics share with the rest of humanity. This being the lack of hospitality toward those who remain disenfranchised, marginalized, or poor. Why do I say this?

By Paul Couturier
By now, Pope Francis has gone back home to Vatican City and in a few short weeks will be preparing for Christmas. So what did Pope Francis accomplish during his visit to the US? Was he treated fairly by the secular news media? Did the Church in the US get a spiritual jolt from his visit?

Pope Francis and the Bishops: Navigating Stormy Waters ...
By Chris Cappannelli, EdD
I am slipping this piece in during what has been, thus far, a hellacious first week of doctoral studies at St. Thomas University here in Miami; that said, I did not want my observations regarding the Holy Father’s recent trip to America to slip too far down the ladder as to become irrelevant in the ongoing discussion as to it’s localized and wider implications.

Tu Es Petrus
By Mike Bugal
Pope Francis’ recent visit to the United States and his speeches delivered before a joint session of Congress as well as his homilies have upset a good number of American Catholics. Many are saying that he should stick to spiritual matters and not express an opinion on subjects such as Climate Change, Immigration and the care for the poor. Their remarks reflect more upon the condition of the Churc

Politics of the Common Good
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
The word politics has gained an almost entirely negative and pejorative meaning when used by many of us in these days of scandal, corruption and greed. Perhaps there was a time when politics as noun or adjective meant something other than a snipe but not in my lifetime. And so it was with great interest that I read the text of Pope Francis’ address to Congress.

Pope Francis: Pride, Humility and the Gospel of the Day After
By Larry Peterson
Pope Francis has gone back to Rome. Sigh--I miss him. I live in central Florida so the closest he ever got to me was probably about 330 miles away and that was in a foreign country, Cuba. The closest I got to him in the United States was when he traveled to Washington, D.C. which is over 900 miles away. No matter, I do miss him. His gentle, kind and loving face was all over the TV screen since l

What Does A Black Crow Have To Do With The Movie Tomorrowland?
By Peggy O'Flaherty
Have you had a chance to see the movie Tomorrowland? In it, the main character, a young heroine, repeats a story back to her father, in his moment of defeat, a story he told her during her childhood. In the story there are two wolves: one is darkness and one is light. “Which one wins?” she questions him. After a pause she continues, “The one you feed the most.”

By Peggy O'Flaherty
Have you noticed the lilac bushes are in bloom? In the Midwest every spring in early May the streets and yards are lined with beautiful purple fragrant lilacs. Perhaps you grew up with a Common lilac, Persian lilac, Dwarf Korean variety, Himalayan, Chinese lilac or even a lilac tree.

By Robert E. Ritchie
The 2015 Public Square Rosary Rallies on October 10th are just around the corner. History may someday recognize their importance. For now, the hundreds of thousands of participants at rosary rallies, such as were held in Austria after World War II, have not yet received proportional attention

Reexamining Pope Francis' "Who am I to judge?"
By Alex Johannigman
This is a big week for the Catholic Church in the United States with Pope Francis' visit! Even though he'll be hundreds of miles from my home in Texas, the excitement is hard to contain, especially as I see friends of mine in Washington DC, New York City, and Philadelphia share their excitement and plans for which papal events they plan to attend.
