A story for Catholic gentlemen (and ladies too)...
Sophia Feingold
As the Harvey Weinstein story continues to ripple outwards, the articles about the souring of our culture, particularly the souring of male-female relations, have flooded my newsfeed. (If you haven’t been following the story, don’t bother: All you need to know is that a man in Hollywood took advantage of a number of aspiring actresses in the most abhorrent way...

The Protestant Reformation was as much a political revolt as it was a theological movement...
Matthew Bunson
In 1517, the Christian Church was still the very heart of Western life, and the vast majority of people were devoutly religious and loyal to the Church and her traditions, even if they were aware of the serious shortcomings of their leaders. Yet, within a few short years, these same Christians were burning monasteries, reviling the pope and destroying statues...

What does Pope Francis’ letter To Cardinal Sarah really say?
Fr. John Zuhlsdorf
By now you have seen coverage of a letter that his Holiness of Our Lord Pope Francis sent to an Italian site, La Nuova Bussola, for publication. Inter alia, it explains something about the meaning of Magnum principium, Pope Francis’ change to law to expand the role of episcopal conferences in the preparation of liturgical translations...

In the wake of Magnum Principium, the Pope “clarifies” Cardinal Sarah...
Rocco Palmo
In an extraordinary rebuke to one of his own Curial cardinals, the Pope has aimed to "explain simply, and hopefully clearly... some errors" in his Worship chief's understanding of Magnum Principium, his recent motu proprio on liturgical translations, indicating the new norms granting new oversight to bishops' conferences as a fresh development and declaring several key pieces of the operative rules in 2001's Liturgiam authenticam "abrogated...

St. John Paul II was a sublime visionary, but he had an Achilles’ heel...
Fr. George Rutler
George Weigel’s Witness to Hope was written before its subject was canonised, but that exhaustive biography vibrated with confidence that the day of universal recognition would be inevitable. Weigel has become something of a pontifical Boswell, and his third volume about John Paul II is like the last wing on a vivid triptych by Memling or Rubens...

Why Catholics who make the Church look bad are still Catholic...
David Mills
Some people who identify as Catholics make us look bad. Mobsters, for example. As it happens, our Jewish brethren have the same problem. As Wikipedia puts it, “For several decades after World War II, the dominant figures in organized crime were second-generation Jews and Italians, often working in concert.” When I was a kid...
