Spiritual Works of Mercy: A Contemporary Retelling of Matthew 25:31–46

The twenty-fifth chapter of Matthew is surely one of the most rousing of all chapters in the New Testament. It has shocked into spiritual wakefulness unnumbered Christians down through the centuries; it has inspired the art of church doors and altar pieces from one end of Christendom to the other; it has prompted a never-ending…

Traditional Priests Account for 20% of 2018 Ordinations in France

Bp. Schneider: Out of Fear, Some Prelates Did Not Sign Kazakh Marriage Statement

We “Go Forward” in the Liturgy When the Sacred is Restored
