A Lenten Pilgrimage Journeying with Jesus
"Lent reveals what's at stake."-Archbishop Sartain For many Catholics, what's at stake might be what we "give up" for Lent. Most of us know there is more to it than that, but we struggle to give the season its proper meaning. As Archbishop J. Peter Sartain writes, "As I prayed the opening prayer at Mass for the First Sunday of Lent, I realized once again how much I have to learn." Walk through the desert alongside Archbishop J. Peter Sartain, who, in his personal and pastoral style can help us make this Lent different - the Lent during which we do more than give up our favorite comfort foods and strive to give ourselves more deeply to the Lord. Through these brief reflections, which include ...

Peter Sartain invites us to take an Advent trip with him, a journey that starts in our hearts, and ends at the humble manger. These brief reflections are like letters from a close friend, in which he shares personal stories, perspectives, and advice -- opening our minds to how we can best prepare our hearts for Jesus. This Advent, break out of your routine, hold back nothing, and really prepare for Christmas.

The Promise of Francis
With more than four decades of firsthand experience reporting from Vatican City, David Willey explores the religious and personal background of Pope Francis and his ability to fulfill the promises of reform made during the first two years of his papacy. Sex crimes and cover-ups, financial scandal, declining membership, and the unprecedented resignation of its chief executive, Pope Benedict XVI. These were the ingredients of a twenty-first century crisis in the Vatican—a crisis that might have anticipated the election of a steadily conservative pope, a career bureaucrat, and an insider. An operator. Instead they chose Francis. Using his unparalleled access and knowledge of the inner working...

A Catechism for Family Life
The purpose of A Catechism for Family Life: Insights from Catholic Teaching on Love, Marriage, Sex, and Parenting is to present the teachings of the Catholic Church as they relate to specific questions in marriage and family life. Many Catholics are under-catechized and have trouble both understanding and articulating Church teaching on sexuality and marriage to an increasingly challenging culture. Pope Francis, along with the fathers of the two recent Synods on the Family, have called for better formation for those who work in the area of marriage and family life (see Amoris Laetitia, 202). To address this need, we gathered pertinent questions facing men, women, and pastoral workers in marr...
The Holocaust, the Church, and the Law of Unintended Consequences
I admire greatly the way in which Deacon Sciolino has been able to absorb a vast amount of material and weave it into a coherent account of the R. C. Church vis--vis the Holocaust. Telling the story from the inside has an especial relevance and importance. Rev. Hubert G. Locke, cofounder of the Annual Scholars Conference on the Holocaust and the Churches The image of Jews as God-killers and their refusal to convert to Christianity has fueled a long tradition of Christian intolerance, hatred, and violence. It is no surprise, then, that when Adolf Hitler advocated the elimination of Jews, he found willing allies within the Catholic Church and Christianity itself. In this study, author Anthony ...
