3 Ways God Wants to Heal You This Lent 27:18

1d ago27:18

27:18

In the Stations of the Cross, Jesus falls three times. Have you ever wondered why three? Dr. Sri reveals how these falls symbolize the three main areas where we need God's healing during Lent: lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life. Dr. Sri also explains how the Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving can serve as antido…

Lent and the Back of Beyond 6:20

3h ago6:20

6:20

by Robert Royal. The Cloud of Unknowing is probably the most popular mystical treatise in English, a sort of bestseller when it was written in the thirteen hundreds (when England was still Catholic), often republished over centuries, and a favorite of recent, highly discerning figures like C.S. Lewis. It's also unique (in my estimation) in that its…

Lent and Death: A Eulogy for David Solomon 6:02

1d ago6:02

6:02

By Randall Smith. On Ash Wednesday, a cross is drawn on our foreheads with ashes and we hear the words God said to Adam and Eve after the Fall: "From dust you have come and to dust you shall return." With their sin, they brought death into the world. And that "death" was not merely the end of this human life. Adam and Eve were always meant for a mo…

The Politicization of Procreation 5:52

2d ago5:52

5:52

By John M. Grondelski. A recent issue of The Atlantic carried Kristen Brown's report, "The Coming Democratic Baby Bust," which argues that the first Trump Administration was marked by a sharp fall in births in Democratic locales. Brad Wilcox from the Institute of Family Studies (IFS) and the University of Virginia has also just brought out a study …

The Devil Has No Knees 6:14

3d ago6:14

6:14

by Dominic V. Cassella. As a Byzantine Catholic, I can always tell if someone has little exposure to the Eastern Christian tradition because of two things. One, when they visit a Byzantine Church, they will genuflect when entering the pew - while many Eastern Catholics will make a bow with the sign of the cross. And two, they will kneel during the …

The Iconic City That Isn't 6:45

4d ago6:45

6:45

By Auguste Meyrat. In any discussion about the foundational cities of Western civilization, most scholars would name Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome. Jerusalem was the birthplace of the great monotheistic religions that defined the West's spirituality, morality, and civic culture. Athens was the origin of the West's intellectual and artistic traditions…

A Pilgrim's Guide to Sodom 6:10

5d ago6:10

6:10

by Francis X. Maier This is a column about Betty and Les Ruppersberger. To the eye, they look like any other ordinary married couple. And in a way, they are like other ordinary couples. Keep them in your memory because I'll come back to them in a moment. But first, consider the following. One of the most vivid chapters in Scripture is Genesis 18. I…

Thorns in Our Side 6:24

6d ago6:24

6:24

by Michael Pakaluk It happens almost without fail that when I try to insert an old-style USB plug into a socket for it, I get it the wrong way. Moreover, when I say to myself, "I am probably inserting it the wrong way once again. Therefore, this time I will reverse what I intended to do," and then flip it, I invariably discover that I did have it t…

I'm a Luddite: Should My Students Be Too? 6:07

7d ago6:07

6:07

by Daniel B. Gallagher. I'm a Luddite, but I can't turn a blind eye to how deeply technology has affected my teaching. On the one hand, it's hard to imagine a greater gift to the humanities than the Internet. Not only can you pull up classical texts in readable transcriptions, you can instantly access high-resolution images of those texts in manusc…

How Indulgences Work 28:59

8d ago28:59

28:59

Indulgences aren't magic, so how exactly do they work? By sharing practical examples, Dr. Sri explains the teachings of the Catholic Church regarding indulgences, focusing on the double consequence of sin, and clarifying how devotions and spiritual exercises heal our souls and help us overcome our attachment to sin. Whether it's a pilgrimage, praye…

Reasoning from Darkness to Darkness 6:08

8d ago6:08

6:08

By Anthony Esolen. I have been committing Paradise Lost to memory - in emulation of a farmer who lived one big field over from a professor of mine, the medievalist George Kane, when George was a boy in Saskatchewan. Yes, I know what Milton thought of the Catholic Church. But Paradise Lost is still the greatest single poem in English, and I find Mil…

The Next Pope? It's Complicated 5:48

9d ago5:48

5:48

By Robert Royal. A high-placed Cardinal complained this past week that some people - particularly some traditional Catholics - are hoping that Pope Francis will die. There are such Catholics, and their open disrespect for the successor of Peter, whatever his record, is simply wrong. But the way that they and the whole world take notice when the Pop…

Cutting Out Jefferson 6:13

10d ago6:13

6:13

By Fr. Paul D. Scalia. But first a note from Robert Royal: As we make this posting, Pope Francis's condition is being described as critical by the Vatican. We encourage all our readers to pray for the Holy Father. Now for today's column... There's a little bit of Thomas Jefferson in each of us. A scary thought. He infamously cut and pasted verses f…

Slavs and the 'Near Abroad' 9:40

11d ago9:40

9:40

by Father Raymond J. de Souza. The feast of the "Apostles of the Slavs" - Saints Cyril and Methodius" - is observed liturgically on 14th February and not at all culturally, as schoolchildren draw valentines instead and their fathers buy flowers. No harm done. If the feast of the holy brothers had an octave, this year's would be remembered as bringi…

A Good Death 5:51

12d ago5:51

5:51

By David Warren. There is a joke I remembered from my senior childhood, itself a large number of years ago: "I want to die in peace and tranquility, like my grandfather. Not screaming and panicking, like his passengers." Well, my own maternal grandpa was a railway engineer, or as we say today "a train driver." I hasten to point out that he did not …

By Stephen P. White. But first a note: Be sure to tune in tonight - Thursday, February 20th at 8 PM Eastern - to EWTN for a new episode of the Papal Posse on 'The World Over.' TCT Editor-in-Chief Robert Royal and contributor Fr. Gerald E. Murray will join host Raymond Arroyo to discuss Pope Francis' health crisis, the participation of an Anglican w…

Honor, Shame, and Death 6:12

14d ago6:12

6:12

By Brad Miner. COSTARD O, they have lived long on the alms-basket of words. I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word; for thou art not so long by the head as honorificabilitudinitatibus: thou art easier swallowed than a flap-dragon. from Love's Labours Lost, Act 5, Scene 2 I begin by drawing the reader's attention to that nearly impossibl…

The Biblical Roots of the Jubilee Year 25:45

15d ago25:45

25:45

Do you find yourself feeling trapped? This year marks a Jubilee Year in the Church, a time that offers us unique graces for experiencing the freedom and healing that God desires for each one of us. Dr. Sri unpacks the Biblical roots of the Jubilee Year and explains how Jesus fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah 61 by releasing us from our sins and wound…

Immigration and the Inconceivable 5:47

15d ago5:47

5:47

By Randall Smith. I don't suppose I'm the only one who has noticed that, on immigration, Americans are largely talking past one another. By that, I don't mean merely that they disagree, which they do - with a vengeance. I mean that the arguments of the two sides are incommensurable, making any agreement or compromise inconceivable. Let me illustrat…

The Church's Dysfunctional Culture of "Respect and Obedience" 6:46

16d ago6:46

6:46

By Fr. Jerry Pokorsky. Subservience is ever ancient, ever new. In that respect, the hierarchy of the Church is not much different than the hierarchies of business and government. But servile obedience can foster a culture of self-destructive tyranny even within the institutional Church. By God's design, the Church is a hierarchy, not a democracy. T…

Spiritual and Religious 5:56

17d ago5:56

5:56

By David G. Bonagura, Jr. It's the paradigmatic statement of belief in the twenty-first century: "I'm spiritual but not religious." That captures both man's irrepressible longing for the supernatural and today's individualistic distrust of institutions. And all the data report the same: church attendance is down and 28 percent of Americans are reli…

The Pope, the Border, and the Law 6:13

18d ago6:13

6:13

By Fr. Gerald Murray. Pope Francis' Letter to the Bishops of the United States on what he describes as "the major crisis that is taking place in the United States with the initiation of a program of mass deportations" is plainly meant as a rebuke of President Trump's vigorous enforcement of United States immigration law. Yet implicit in the pope's …

The Universal Day of Mating 6:08

19d ago6:08

6:08

By Michael Pakaluk. Should Catholics celebrate Saint Valentine's Day? The best recommendation for celebrating it at all, I think, is that in our tradition three different martyred saints have been called "Valentine," and the feast day for all three of them is February 14th. At least so states the Catholic Encyclopedia, in an article by judicious sc…

TCT Editor-in-Chief Robert Royal and contributor Fr. Gerald E. Murray will join host Raymond Arroyo to discuss the health of Pope Francis, the pope's reaction to the immigrati…

AI and Chatting with Your Future Self 6:42

21d ago6:42

6:42

By Francis X. Maier. Earlier this month, in its regular Artificial Intelligence section, the Wall Street Journal ran a 2,000-word feature - for a newspaper, that's serious ink - on the AI program "FutureYou." Developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), FutureYou allows you to talk with your 80-year-old self. It also (regrettably) …
