The sacrament of Matrimony is under diabolical attack. While it is easy to blame the outside world for the demise of marriage, we must look at what has been happening inside the Church. The number of marriages have dwindled over the past five decades and annulments have skyrocketed. Many in Church leadership have been indifferent to these alarming trends and to marriage itself. Matrimony is rarely referenced during homilies, pre-Cana programs are often disastrous, and seminaries spend little time studying the sacrament of Matrimony.

Thinking with the mind of the Church, Mr. Hudson has mined the riches of faith and reason with which the Church has blessed civilization and with which she has shone forth the splendor of truth across two millennia. It was G.K. Chesterton who quipped that the Church is the one continual institution to have been thinking about thinking for 2,000 years, and it is for this reason, as Chesterton also quipped, that she saves us from the ignominy of ignorance which makes us children of our own time and slaves of the zeitgeist. It is she who enables us to think outside the temporal box.

From inventions to massive monuments, these societies have tried to produce something that would define them and last forever. But only one is eternal: God himself.

Hilaire Belloc is one of the most important writers of the 20th century. At turns reviled or revered, depending on the audience, he was a razor-sharp social commenter and a master of both poetry and prose who continues to captivate audiences. In Old Thunder, Joseph Pearce examines Belloc's enduring impact on British intellectual life.

The Blessed Sacrament is the great "open secret" of the Catholic Church—the great truth that Jesus Christ is in the Tabernacle and is accessible to all who believe in Him. But this truth is not immediately obvious, and thus it is not really appreciated as it should be. The Blessed Sacrament: God with Us is a call to all Catholics to appreciate and love Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, for in that perpetual miracle is all the wealth of His love, and our "Heaven" on Earth.

We may find it startling to hear Jesus address Mary, not as "Mother," but as "Woman," in His last words to her before He died. Commenting on this situation, Maria insisted that in calling the Virgin "Woman," Our Lord was alluding to her perfect womanhood, her status as the exemplar for all women. Anne Catherine perceives yet another layer of meaning in the word, seeing in it a reference to the woman who would crush the serpent's head through her seed (Genesis 3:15). The Woman became on that day the mother of the Church. When Jesus saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing near, ...

In this powerful episode, Conor Gallagher is joined by Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, STD, a moral theologian with a doctorate from the Holy Cross University in Rome, to discuss what happened to Catholic moral theology under Pope Francis. Together, they delve into the controversies and confusion surrounding documents like Fiducia Supplicans, changes to the Catechism on the death penalty, Communion for the divorced and remarried (Amoris Laetitia), and the Church’s messaging on issues like gender, same-sex blessings, and end-of-life ethics.Fr. Kirby doesn't hold back—sharing his deep concerns about ...

Both Anne Catherine and Maria sharply condemned the wickedness of the historical figures who took part in the torture and murder of Jesus. The sacrifice of the Lamb of God, they knew, was a sacrifice for all time (Hebrews 9:26-28). His Blood, like His steadfast love and His faithfulness, extends to all generations, because all generations are in desperate need of its power (Psalm 100:5; Romans 5:18-19). Reflection on Our Lord's passion blossoms into contrite confession, which in turn bears fruit-not of self-hatred, but of divine pardon, and a renewed resolve to live as Jesus lived.He was ...

Jesus did not suffer unspeakable torments so that we could live comfortably. He did not die a horrible death so that we could live a life wasted in petty pursuits. No. Jesus, "suffered all this so He could bring us into the eternal glory of God the Father as true sons and daughters" (Hebrews 2:10). The destiny He intends for us is nothing less than to "be like Him" when at last we "see Him as He is. Grace costs us everything, but in the end it makes us whole. Maria's vision warns us against notions of cheap grace and calls us to embrace the Cross.Then Jesus told His disciples, "If any man ...

Our Lord's suffering had at last come to an end. But the graces flowing from His passion had only just begun to flood the world. Since ancient times, the Church fathers have seen in this "blood and water" the font of two life-giving sacraments, Baptism and the Eucharist. In Anne Catherine's vision, a Roman officer comes to symbolize the power of the sacraments in the Church to come. Grace prompts him to approach the Body of Christ; grace heals and enlightens him through the Blood and Water and these gifts he has received he will share them with the world. One of the soldiers pierced His side ...
