Why the Death Penalty Teaching Change Is a Perfect Doctrinal Trojan Horse

I’ve already written at length about the longstanding Catholic teaching about the death penalty and why Pope Francis is wrong in his attempts to change it. I won’t, therefore, rehash those arguments here. For the purposes of this particular debate, what matters most is for Catholics to understand that the authority for civil powers to…

Pope’s New Encyclical Follows Spirit of Laudato Si: It Recycles The Same Old Themes

We’ve entered one of those moments again where there’s a a flurry of activity in the Church, and hardly enough time to analyze it in depth. To top it off, I’m feeling like I’m coming down with something and running on far too little sleep, so rather than trying to coax my brain into something…
