Ever hear of a place called Futuna? If not, don’t be surprised — you probably haven’t unless you are a philatelist. While it’s not exactly the “remotest place on earth” (Tristan da Cunha, in the South Atlantic, claims that distinction) you probably aren’t going to wind up on Futuna unless you really want to. It’s about 3...
Take it from an exorcist: ‘Braco the Gazer’ is no joke...
When I clicked on a video about “Braco, He Who Gazes” I kept waiting for the punch line. I did not imagine that people were actually spending money for a man to look at them. It must be a satire, I thought. No way this could be serious! The video showed thousands of people who paid $8 each to see a man stare at them in five-minute sessions with a spacy...
Avoid a group called “Priests for the Restoration of Catholic Life” — here’s why...
Some odd tweets from a priest on Twitter lead me to look at the Congregatio de Institione Catholica Vitae, AKA “Priests for the Restoration of Catholic Life.” It turns out that Bishop Virgil Bradley Tetherow is a key figure in this group. As I was one of the few people who had written about then Fr. Tetherow, I feel the obligation to warn people about this group...
Pope Francis has begun a wave of new appointments at the Vatican...
With the appointment of two secretaries at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) and the confirmation of new leaders at the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, Pope Francis has embarked on a series of personnel changes before the new Vatican constitution comes into effect in June. Published on March 19...
A French nun just became the world’s oldest person — here’s her secret to longevity...
French Sister André Randon became the world’s oldest person after the death of 119-year-old Japanese woman Kane Tanaka. Tanaka passed away on Tues., April 19 in Japan. Sister Randon turned 118 in February, celebrating with a glass of wine and some chocolate. She also survived Covid-19 prior to her 117th birthday.
The number of infant baptisms is way, way down in our American churches. If you don’t realize how bad this is, you’re part of the problem...
Crisis editor Eric Sammons calls attention to a frightening statistic. The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate finds that in American Catholic churches, the number of infant baptisms—which has been dropping steadily for 20 years—went into a nosedive in 2020. “I know many 2020 Baptisms didn’t happen because of Covid restrictions...
A homily for a suicide and their survivor loved ones...
We gather here to mourn the loss of John [not a real person], and provide support for his friends and family, particularly his mom and dad, brothers and sisters, and high school classmates. We commend John’s soul to God’s mercy and offer this funeral Mass precisely for that reason. Thus, while you may hurt more deeply than ever before...

Pope’s Regina Coeli for Divine Mercy Sunday: ‘Jesus Always Comes Back, Showing Us His Wounds’...
Why did Christ’s glorified body still have wounds?
Several of the Resurrection accounts stress that Jesus showed the disciples His wounds. On one level we can understand that He was trying to make clear to them that the same Christ who was crucified stood before them; He was not a ghost or an apparition or simply someone who looked like Jesus. When Christ rose, He took up His same...
This is the best work on prayer I have ever read...
Around the beginning of the fifth century, there was an elderly widow named Proba. One day in Church she heard the passage from Romans which says that we do not know how we ought to pray (Romans 8:26). This was confusing to hear because she knew that she ought to pray and that dedicating herself to prayer was an important role she had to play as a widow in the Church...
People who have suffered can tell people who are suffering: “Fear not. I have been there too. You will never be alone. Ever.”...
The incomparable Virgil once again gives us words through which to see our own life. There is a reason that in Dante’s masterpiece The Divine Comedy Virgil acts as a guide. Including to Christians. Why do we suffer? And what good can come of it? This is rightly one of the great recurring questions in human life. It is a theoretical question...
Catholic priest reveals his role in DC aborted babies case: ‘I buried them myself’...
Confessors: Know when to be an editor, an umpire, an observant spouse or a GPS. Penitents: Know how to be blunt, be brief, and be gone...
In His first appearance to His assembled Apostles after the Resurrection, Jesus breathes on them and says, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” These newly ordained priests, therefore, became His first confessors. Jesus sends them to hear confessions and to forgive sins in His name...
You have one job to do: To persevere in the love of God...
I opened my Bible today at random and found myself on the page which includes chapters 10 and 11 of St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans. In these chapters, Paul deals with one of the greatest mysteries of salvation history—the mystery that, through the disobedience of the Jews, salvation was mercifully offered to the godless Gentiles...

Today is “Liberation Day” in Italy, a holiday that commemorates the liberation of Italy from fascism and the Nazi occupation of the country during the Second World War. It was on April 25, 1945, that the Committee for National Liberation, the main umbrella group for the Italian resistance, called for a nationwide uprising against the fascists and the Germans...

It’s the offseason, but with the draft coming up this week and the team pursuing free agents — and getting a new quarterback, who may or may not be good enough — Steelers fans have started talking about the team again...
