This Week’s Column at Patheos

Last updated on: March 29, 2011 at 5:49 am By Pat McNamara

This week’s Patheos column focuses on Dorothy Day (1897-1980), founder of the Catholic Worker. Never has poverty for the Gospel’s sake been lived out so radically in America. If you’ve never heard of her (I didn’t until I was in college), she’s eminently worth getting to know. Take a look at the article by clicking here. Read more

“An Artist in Burnt Cork”: Brother Martin Whelan, S.J. (1837-1903)

Last updated on: March 28, 2011 at 9:43 am By Pat McNamara

The Jesuit Brother’s vocation is one with a rich history of service and scholarship. But Brother Pat Douglas, a Jesuit ministering in the Midwest, notes that it’s a “kind of forgotten” vocation. There are many, he says, who have a strong call to religious life, but not necessarily to the priesthood. In keeping with this blog’s policy of honoring Catholic America’s unsung heroes, today’s entry focuses on the life and career of Brother Martin Whelan, S.J. (1837-1903). Described as “a... Read more

“Do Catholics Make Better Athletes?”

Last updated on: March 25, 2011 at 7:05 am By Pat McNamara

The Loyola University baseball team, 1886. Founded in Chicago in 1870, today Loyola is the nation’s largest Jesuit university. Everybody just expects a Catholic school to turn out a good baseball team. A significant expectation! Why should a Catholic college with its few hundred students be expected to defeat the big non-Catholic universities so regularly? Baseball is distinctly an American game: why should Catholic college boys be expected to play it any better than non-Catholic college boys? They do not... Read more

From the Question Box: “Scandals and the Church”

Last updated on: March 24, 2011 at 6:01 am By Pat McNamara

From The Question Box:“Will you not admit that many of the leaders of your Church— her Popes, Bishops and priests— have been wicked men? How can you call such a Church holy?” The Church remains holy, no matter how many of her leaders prove faithless to the Gospel they preach, for these men are cut off from the Church’s life by their sins, which can never be traced to her teachings or laws. Would you call an apple tree bad,... Read more

This Week’s Column at Patheos

Last updated on: March 22, 2011 at 6:37 am By Pat McNamara

Since last week’s Patheos article focused on the Irish, I didn’t feel it would be right to ignore the history of Italian Catholics in America. Few ethnic groups have labored under such degrading stereotypes, and few have such a rich history of service, scholarship, and hands-on pastoral ministry. To reach the article please click here.
