Why, writes Matthew Becklo, when so much of the world has embraced the revolution—when it would be so easy to leave or ignore the Church—do progressives desperately try to change the Church, to make it into something it’s not, and never can be? catholicworldreport.com/2025…

Today is the feast of St. Junipero Serra. Takes me back when Bishop Barron organized a coalition to stand athwart an attempt to vandalize the Saint’s statue at Santa Inez Mission. The effort failed. The mob dispersed. The statue remained.
Since becoming pope, Leo XIV, the "Son of Saint Augustine," has quoted the Doctor of Grace—by my count, and appropriately enough—no less than 33 times.
That's an average of about once every 1.5 days.
The fallout of the sexual revolution is a moral crisis—in fact, the great moral crisis of our time—and the great moral opportunity.

What if, rather than placating or ignoring or wishing away the progressive push, the Church simply began to resist it like never before? catholicworldreport.com/2025…
Man is made up of soul and body: and assuredly, whom God frees, He frees the whole man.
—Augustine, “On Continence”
The Christian cannot slip out of the tension between heaven and earth.
—Hans Urs von Balthasar, "Prayer"
The creature is a perpetual question addressed to God....He is the answer to the question which I am.

War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!
