The appointment of Fr David Waller as the first Bishop Ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham represents not only a major new chapter in the life of the Ordinariate, but a rare landmark moment for the Church throughout the Anglosphere: the elevation of a former Anglican clergyman to the episcopate.

Security checks again find batch of weapons before papal event

ROME – Less than a month after a man on New York’s Most Wanted List was arrested in St. Peter’s Square with three knives ahead of a papal audience, a parish priest from the Czech Republic was detained on Sunday before the pontiff’s Angelus address after being found to have an air gun, two knives,
We should not waste our time on the fleeting love of the world
May 06, 2024

How every phrase in the explosive Nicene Creed is packed with the power to change lives
May 05, 2024
Easter and creeds go together, for many reasons. Not just because the creeds incorporate Easter, but also because they only exist because of Easter. What better way to celebrate Easter than to use the Nicene Creed as a love poem from God to his people? Almost every line, while familiar through repetition, has had the

May 05, 2024
Among the many wonderful paradoxes of Catholic faith, practice and history is that now-canonised saints did not always act so saintly.

“As Peter reached the house Cornelius went out to meet him, knelt at his feet and prostrated himself. But Peter helped him up. ‘Stand up,’ he said ‘I am only a man after all!’ Then Peter addressed them: ‘The truth I have now come to realise’ he said ‘is that God does not have favourites, but
The beautiful scent of a newborn: Learning to live with the chaos of three small children

“Why does he smell so good?” my eldest daughter, Ophelia, asked. She and her sister had just arrived at the hospital to meet their new baby brother. Only a few hours earlier, as the girls were eating their breakfast of pancakes and chocolate spread, they had watched me tear through the kitchen and into the
