I Have a Dopey Question for Time Magazine

Last updated on: April 18, 2012 at 4:03 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Dopey because I probably should be immune to media bias by now. I probably should be more at peace with the realities of the world such that I no longer would yell at my computer screen as I read the Time “Most Influential” list. I’ve already commented over on my home base (National Review Online) about Cecile Richards’s entry, an ode to Planned Parenthood and all it represents culturally and politically. But now I have to say a few words... Read more

Easter Dynamite

Last updated on: April 16, 2012 at 8:40 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

From Magnificat Monday, from the late Scripture scholar Father Ignace de la Potterie, S.J.: Baptism and faith, introduces us to a new dynamic of being, sets a new dynamism within our lives. This treasure, recognized and embraced in the faith, makes all of life a journeying, a progressing, always preceded and accompanied by those same facts of grace worked by the Lord that come back and take our hearts by surprise, thus nourishing faith …. Man does not become son... Read more

Do You Feel Called to Defend the Church in the Public Square?

Last updated on: April 16, 2012 at 8:47 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

An announcement about a developing project I have some involvement in and would encourage those eligible (45 and younger, New Yorkers in particular) who feel called by this ad to put in an application for: Do you find yourself at home arguing with TV news anchors, radio hosts, and print columnists, wishing someone would defend your Catholic faith? Are you a practicing Catholic who prays for clear voices on news programs who actually believes what the Church teaches? Do you... Read more

In the Garden with Christ

Last updated on: April 16, 2012 at 7:21 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

I was at Gethsemane earlier this year and it dawned on me (just call me queen of the obvious) that if we all prayed as Jesus did, we would be a lot better off. He shows us he gets it and lifts us up to the Father. And saves us. We really don’t want to be the ones sleeping, do we? Read more

My B16 Birthday Album: Freedom as Challenge

Last updated on: April 16, 2012 at 9:07 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

As others note today, April 16th is Pope Benedict VXI’s 85th birthday. Vatican Radio reports that: In his homily, the Holy Father noted that for him, this anniversary day of his birth and his baptism is always immersed in the Paschal Mystery, the mystery of the Cross and resurrection, “In a special way,” he said, “as Holy Saturday, the day of God’s silence, the apparent absence of the death of God and yet the day that the resurrection is announced.”...

Thank You, David Paterson!

Last updated on: April 16, 2012 at 5:17 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

I just had the very pleasant experience of an interview with former New York governor David Paterson on his New York-based (WOR) radio show about this column of mine today on women and their choices, occasioned by Hilary Rosen’s comments last week about Ann Romney and stay-at-home moms. I confess I had no idea what to expect when I said “yes” to the interview earlier in the day, having no idea what he would make of the piece. He was... Read more

Was Jesus Just Some Good Dude Who Used to Live?

Last updated on: April 12, 2012 at 10:44 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

I found myself thinking of a Sunday homily this morning. Because it is still Easter. And we can still meet the Risen Lord in our daily lives. There is no time like today. At Saint Patrick’s in Manhattan on Easter morning, Timothy Cardinal Dolan was preaching to his flock, what he prefers to do than talk presidential politics on Face the Nation. The pull-out quote from his talk would be: Jesus Christ is alive … He’s not just a dream.... Read more

His Practice Is Love

Last updated on: April 10, 2012 at 5:02 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Speaking of the topic of love. This is what Dr. John Bruchalski, founder of Divine Mercy Care is trying to bring back to medicine. Treating patients with dignity. Listening to him speak to mostly pro-choice medical students last week, I could only think of him as a walking, practicing Evangelium Vitae. His practice is love and he is building a culture of life. And not just at his practice but engaging the broader medical community, presenting medical students with a... Read more

‘God’s Love Is More Powerful Than Anything in the World’

Last updated on: April 10, 2012 at 3:50 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

The title line comes from a new video from Fr. Robert Barron. His talk is in response to a Newsweek cover story (I suspect you know the one!). This message — that God’s love is more powerful than anything in the world — is the message. The one that our souls live and die by. The one that makes all the difference. This most powerful love is a challenge. A daily one. An hourly one. Minute by minute. Word by... Read more
