Last updated on: November 6, 2012 at 1:21 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

A priest reflects on the pain of politics: Catholics should be in agreement with each other over issues of life and death, marriage, and homosexuality. And even if there may be different approaches about how best to care for immigrants, or the poor, Catholics while open to a diversity of solutions, must also grasp more deeply the fundamental principles of Church teaching regarding our obligations to immigrants and to the poor. Catholics should find a unity among each other through... Read more

A first Sunday Mass at St. Thomas More Church in the hurricane-ravaged Breezy Point, a largely Catholic community. His parish church, congressman Bob Turner said: “My house was among those totally destroyed and we lost a lot of great stuff, but everybody is OK….

Conscience Calls: Being Catholic Voters

Last updated on: November 5, 2012 at 3:52 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

One of the voter guides of this election cycle comes from the Catholic Hispanic Leadership Alliance. It’s voter guide focuses on applying Catholic social teaching to the issues that lift up — or destroy — human life and dignity. The Alliance is unambiguous about the priority of protecting the most innocent human life (see Archbishop Lori, Archbishop Chaput … ), but challenging on other issues as well. Their guidance, lead by the teachings of the Church, is important for anyone... Read more

Election Day Is a Day for Prayer

Last updated on: November 5, 2012 at 11:25 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Whatever happens on Election Day, on any Election Day, “we do not throw up our hands in despair or disinterest,” one pastor in McLean, Va., advised this weekend. We renew our devotion to conforming the world – by first and everyday our very lives – “with the true and the good. Since anything that is ordered and lovely is a target for the fallen angels, we also fall on our knees in prayer for our country and its government. We... Read more

Our Help & Hope Remains

Last updated on: November 4, 2012 at 4:40 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

I went to what I consider America’s parish, the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception for Mass this morning. The opening hymn was “O God, Our Help in Ages Past.” It’s worth reflecting on the words today: O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for ears to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home. Under the shadow of your throne Your saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is your arm alone, And our... Read more

Want to Win the Race? Meet these Women. Walk with these Women.

Our culture has an overwhelming treasure in the rich history of good, strong, dynamic, courageous women who understood the human condition, lived lives of service, sacrifice, rigor, joy and the truest freedom. Catholics begin the month of November every year celebrating the feast of All Saints, a crowd that includes some of the most impressive women who have lived, in all walks of life. Politically and culturally, the modern day seems to have a misunderstanding about the Catholic Church’s approach... Read more

‘Gotta Have Faith.’ What Is It?

Last updated on: October 31, 2012 at 3:22 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

There’s is a catechetical reflection in the Year of Faith book Magnificat has out this week. This one in particular I am looking at from Tuesday reflects on this passage of the Catechism of the Catholic Church: “With his whole being man gives his assent to God the revealer. Sacred Scripture calls this human response to God, the author of revelation, “the obedience of faith.” But what is faith, anyway, as a Catholic matter? “In coming to understand what the... Read more
