Romney-Ryan & Beltway Redemption

Last updated on: August 11, 2012 at 12:07 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

I’m enthusiastic about the opportunities Mitt Romney’s choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate affords Catholics in a particular way. Congressman Ryan represents a new generation of leadership with a renewed sense of identification — recatechizing itself and educating, asking fundamental questions about what it means to be Catholic and what that means for life and leadership. This parishioner of St. John Vianney Church in Janesville, Wisconsin, is doing in his public life what the ticket is joined in... Read more

Let Us Pray

Last updated on: August 9, 2012 at 4:20 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

That’s the witness of the life of St. Dominic, whose feast Catholics celebrated yesterday. Reflecting on Dominic, B16 advises: Dear friends, St. Dominic reminds us that prayer, that personal contact with God, is at the heart and origin of the witness of faith that every Christian must give within family life, at work, in social commitments, and even in times of relaxation. Only this real relationship with God gives us the strength to live each event intensely, especially the most... Read more

Feeling Weak?

Last updated on: August 9, 2012 at 4:33 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

In her book, My Peace I Give You, Dawn Eden writes about questions she’s encountered in her life, confronting the memories of abuse: “How … do I take the first step? How do I find strength when all I have to work with is weakness?” I asked her about her answer: I found the answer in prayer, reading sacred scripture, and discovering saints to emulate. I write in My Peace that I think of sacred scripture as being like a... Read more

Be Not Afraid to Go Beyond the Conventional ‘News’ Frame

Last updated on: August 9, 2012 at 9:01 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Thank God for ads in presidential campaigns (really!), which can become news event in themselves. At their best, they are educational opportunities and today we have one such example. The “Be Not Afraid” ad that the Romney campaign released this morning is a classic example of how campaigns can transcend the mainstream media with ads on social media and broadcast TV. The ad gives his speech in Poland last week a second life. Like Romney’s “We are all Catholic today”... Read more

Protecting Religious Liberty Is the Least We Can Do

In her new book, My Peace I Give You: Healing Sexual Wounds with the Help of the Saints, Dawn Eden writes about St. Josephine Bakhita. More from my extended exchange with Eden about the book: More people should know about St. Josephine Bakhita for all sorts of reasons, shouldn’t we? Yes, we should. I learned about Bakhita’s life through Pope Benedict’s encyclical on hope, Spe salvi, and I am very thankful that I featured her in chapter 1 of My... Read more

Quiet, Soul!

Last updated on: August 7, 2012 at 3:26 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

In continuing conversation with Dawn Eden about her book, My Peace I Give You, I take note of a line in her book “What I truly needed was not to rile my body, but to quiet my soul.” And ask: However does anyone do that? You’re referring to a passage in chapter 4, where I talk about how, before I found healing in Christ, I tried to cope with the effects of my childhood abuse in ways that were self-destructive....
