Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch Teaches Football to Women in Turkey

Last updated on: September 24, 2015 at 12:16 pm By Kate O'Hare

In a world full of appointed ambassadors and official representatives, sometimes the most interesting international interactions happen in the least likely way — and feature the least likely folks. Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch — a k a “Beast Mode” — is one of most intimidating players in the NFL. He’s not the largest, but he may be one of the fiercest and most determined. Rather than me describing Lynch in action, just take a look: Born in 1986... Read more

GOP Debate for Life: Gov. Bobby Jindal and Carly Fiorina Attack Planned Parenthood

Last updated on: September 17, 2015 at 1:42 pm By Kate O'Hare

If anyone worried that the issue of Planned Parenthood and the sale of aborted-baby body parts would fade away from the news, those who tuned into the two GOP presidential debates on Wednesday, Sept. 16, got an earful. Standing in front of a retired Air Force One at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, several of the candidates addressed the string of undercover videos dealing with the organization’s trade in the body parts of aborted infants for...

Thinking About ‘Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine’

Last updated on: September 13, 2015 at 7:53 am By Kate O'Hare

Over at CatholicVote, I offer some thoughts on Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and on the new feature-length documentary about him, available in theaters and elsewhere. Here’s a taste: The fact that Jobs tried to deny his eldest child and was cruelly indifferent to her mother (despite having himself been conceived out of wedlock and then adopted); that he could be tyrannical, demanding and autocratic at work; that he was averse to sharing (credit, profits, etc.) and positively allergic to paying American taxes;...

In the latest issue of The Tidings, the newspaper of the Los Angeles Archdiocese, I offer a followup to my previous interviews with Bishop Robert Barron — click here and here for those — with a more in-depth profile, which goes into his vocation and vision for the Church. Here’s a taste: As for his own vocation, Bishop Barron, 55, said he was drawn into the Church as a teenager because of St. Thomas Aquinas’ arguments for the existence of... Read more

Last updated on: September 6, 2015 at 4:30 pm By Kate O'Hare

Baptized Catholic actress Leah Remini spent quite a while deeply involved with Scientology, but because of her daughter — and other influences she may not have discussed publicly, such as her devout Catholic “King of Queens” co-star Kevin James — she has returned to the Faith. On Friday, she and husband Angelo Pagan baptized their preteen daughter, Sofia, and posted pictures on social media.

… is that the man behind Ron Perlman’s arm may be wearing a clerical collar (but not a crucifix). He’s certainly wearing one when he first appears in the pilot of “Hand of God,” the new drama from Amazon Studios. But he’s not a Catholic priest; he’s Rev. Paul (Julian Morris), a charismatic preacher with a wife (Elizabeth McLaughlin) who’s willing to have sex with other men in order to get money for their “Hand of God” ministry. Created by...
