Rorate Caeli reports: The Archbishop of Granada, Spain, H.E. Msgr. Francisco Javier Martínez Fernández, has released a note to all the faithful of his archdiocese in which he adopts for his own archdiocese the highly objectionable directive on the implementation of chapter VIII of Amoris Laetitia, issued by the bishops of the pastoral region of Buenos…
If you’ve been struggling to find things in our new layout, this brief tutorial video should help you to get your bearings. For those who would rather not watch the video, here are the basics: We have a featured content area at the top of the homepage. This is where our top 10 stories of…
We had a great month in September, rallying from a serious deficit to exceed our monthly goal. But we’re officially at mid-month today, and we’ve only just scraped across the 10% mark of what we need to finish the month in the black. A huge thank you to those of us who pushed us through September…
On October 20th, 2015, as the second half of the Synod on the Family was underway, I wrote: It has long been my concern that Francis will make an end-run around the restrictions of papal infallibility by not making a decision that is binding, but rather by delegating the decision on matters as important as…

A reminder we all need right now:
You have no doubt noticed that things look a little different. As I mentioned yesterday, this has been an ongoing project. In fact, I’ve spent over a year evaluating new designs for the website, testing out functions and features, even trying new software platforms…all in the hope that I could build upon our core strengths and…

Well, I’m amazed. Last month, you did it again. We went from 32% underfunded in August and nearly 90% short of our September goal at mid-month to exceeding our monthly fundraising goal in just a short time. Thank you all so much!
