How Catholic schools can convey the good news about marriage
August 08, 2019
From September 2020, secondary schools will be obliged to provide “relationships and sex education”.

As we
Not just ISIS: Stories of desecration from around the world
August 08, 2019
Australia In 2017, statues of Jesus and Mary outside the church of St Paul of the Cross, Sydney were decapitated. On the same day, hundreds of young Maronite Catholics held a vigil to say a rosary of reparation. Within a few days, new statues had been donated, and crowds gathered again for the blessing ceremony.
Letters: Being ‘born again’ cannot just be an emotional experience
August 08, 2019
To be born again, we need sacraments SIR – With the greatest respect, I have to differ quite sharply from Fr Rolheiser’s article on the meaning of being “born again” (The Last Word, July 26). When Our Lord speaks of being born again in the Gospel of St John 3:5 3, he is talking about
How to… Understand the Assumption
August 08, 2019
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary has always been a teaching within the tradition of the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church, which refers to it as the Dormition.

The West is failing to prevent gendercide
August 01, 2019
When health workers recently tallied the number of births in a district in northern India, they made a disturbing discovery. Of the 216 babies born in 132 villages in the district of Uttarkashi in the past three months, all were boys. How could it be that not a single girl was born in that period,

Catholics need a dash of confidence SIR – Hearing Boris Johnson expounding in the House of Commons his belief in the greatness of the United Kingdom, his unchecked confidence in its future and his insistence that what seems impossible is possible, it occurred to me that in 40 years of being a Catholic I had never
Bishop Keenan: ‘People are angry, but no one is saying why’
August 01, 2019
Bishop John Keenan has led the Diocese of Paisley since 2014. Prior to this he served as Catholic chaplain to the University of Glasgow for 14 years, and as vocations director for the Archdiocese of Glasgow.

August 01, 2019

It is sad to admit that this sometimes happens, but it is a fact recognised on numerous occasions by Pope Francis, who most recently complained about the numbers of “people

Despite the scandals, we must love the Church
August 01, 2019
We can still love the Church. We must love the Church. Those who truly love the Lord Jesus will not fail to love the Mystical Body of which He is the Head, the Bride for whom He offered Himself up on the Cross. It would be ingratitude to Him if we refused His gift of
