THIRTEEN/WNET Previews Papal Visit By Honoring St. Patrick’s Cathedral

Last updated on: August 13, 2015 at 4:49 am By Kate O'Hare

New York City PBS stations THIRTEEN/WNET and WLIW21 have come together to honor one of Gotham’s signature landmarks — and a focal point for American Catholicism — with the premiere of “Treasures of New York: St Patrick’s Cathedral.” Whatever the sorry state of the city’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the 135-year-old cathedral is a glorious testament to the Faith, especially after unveiling a bright, pressure-washed facade in December 2014 The $25M facelift (made necessary when toxins began to make the marble crack...

Planned Parenthood and Other Naked Truths

Last updated on: August 12, 2015 at 8:43 am By Kate O'Hare

We have an epidemic of nakedness in America. All sorts of emperors are strutting about with their whatevers hanging out, and most of the media — and a large segment of the population — is too afraid to point out the obvious. Political correctness has evolved from courtesy to tyranny, in which insupportable and impossible things are asserted every day, and too many either avert their eyes or go along just to get along. But every now and then, something strips away... Read more

The Beauty and the Problems in ‘Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet’

Last updated on: August 9, 2015 at 1:11 pm By Kate O'Hare

This past week, I made my debut as a contributor to The Tidings, the venerable newspaper for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and for Angelus News, its online counterpart. The subject is the new animated version of Lebanese Maronite Catholic writer Kahlil Gibran’s 1923 book “The Prophet,” which premiered in selected theaters this weekend, and will roll out to more. Click here to read the whole thing, but here’s an excerpt of the piece, which includes an interview with executive producer... Read more

African-American Priest Weighs in on Why #BlackLivesMatter (and #PlannedParenthood)

Last updated on: May 4, 2023 at 10:06 am By Kate O'Hare

Once you have seen injustice, you can’t unsee it — and the knowledge places upon you the burden to respond, if only in prayer. Father Claude Williams, 34, is a parochial vicar at St. John the Baptist in Costa Mesa, California. He’s also a member of the Norbertines of St. Michael’s Abbey, an Orange County-based chapter of the The Order of Canons Regular of Prémontré, founded by St. Norbert of Xantren in France. Our Sunday Visitor profiled him back in January (click here... Read more

‘The Last Kingdom’: A Pagan Tale About a Catholic Saint

Last updated on: August 6, 2015 at 12:16 pm By Kate O'Hare

Alfred the Great, who defended his kingdom of Wessex against the Vikings in the mid- to late-800s, eventually became the first truly dominant ruler of England. A devout Catholic, Alfred had a reputation for erudition, mercy and having a level-headed nature, while improving England’s education, legal system, military and quality of life. He’s also a Catholic saint. So, you might think that a big miniseries centered on his reign would have a strong Christian flavor. Well, that depends whose point... Read more

5 Things People Should Work on at Mass

Love these two posts from Epic Pew: 10 Things You Might Be Doing Wrong at Mass 10 More Things You Might Be Doing Wrong at Mass I agree with them all, and at one time or another, I’m sure I and every other Catholic have been guilty of one or more. But simple politeness, and whatever sense of decorum we have, prevents us from calling out our fellow Catholics during Mass. And maybe if somebody had been able to call us... Read more

‘Home & Family’: Is It Time for ‘The Waltons’ Again?

Last updated on: August 3, 2015 at 7:34 am By Kate O'Hare

Screenwriter William Goldman once said of Hollywood, “Nobody knows nothing.” That’s as true today as it was 40 or even 100 years ago. The biggest hits frequently come as a complete surprise, even to those that made them. When “The Waltons” premiered on Sept. 14, 1972, nobody gave it much hope of survival, and that included its network, CBS, which scheduled it on Thursdays at 8 p.m. against ratings powerhouses “The Flip Wilson Show” and “The Mod Squad.” The show, created...

It’s a Walton Family Reunion at ‘Home & Family’

Last updated on: August 3, 2015 at 12:47 am By Kate O'Hare

TV executives like to say that their business isn’t driven by ideology but instead by money. If that were entirely true, then there’d probably be a sequel to, or a reimagining of, the long-running (1971-1981) CBS family drama “The Waltons” — which centered on a rural Virginia clan during the Great Depression and World War II — but there isn’t. And there isn’t likely to be, at least on broadcast TV. More on that in the next post, but for... Read more

Cecil vs. Planned Parenthood: Raging at the Death of the Innocents

Last updated on: August 2, 2015 at 1:22 pm By Kate O'Hare

In an elegantly reasoned op-ed for the Los Angeles Times, Fordham University bioethics instructor Charles Camosy looks at the twin Internet furors over the undercover videos depicting Planned Parenthood’s practice of trafficking in the body parts of prenatal infants, and the shooting of Zimbabwe’s famed Cecil the lion during a canned hunt. Camosy doesn’t claim moral equivalency between the two things, but he does point out some interesting similarities. On animal-rights supporters: Animals are helpless creatures, often subject to terrible... Read more
