O'Connell to Trenton

Regular readers will know of the high regard in which I hold Father David O’Connell, CM, the President of the Catholic University of America for the past 12 years. Evidently, my opinion is shared by Pope Benedict XVI who named O’Connell this morning as the Coadjutor Bishop of Trenton, New Jersey. I am told that it is a gem of a diocese and they are getting a gem of a new bishop. Tanti Augurri.

As a Commissioned Lay Ecclesial Minister in the Diocese of Trenton I am glad that our gem of a diocese is getting a gem of a new bishop.

Octavia Butler: A Black science fiction writer who predicted today’s dire headlines
Octavia Butler, the Black science fiction writer who died in 2006, did not just create imaginary worlds with parallels to ours. Sometimes she created worlds that are eerily a little too much like our own.

From mass deportations to transgender issues, the U.S. bishops react to Trump executive orders
The U.S. bishops have been measured in their response to the new administration’s avalanche of activity, reserving sharp criticism on points of divergence while not hesitating to praise him for his actions in areas where they find alignment.

The Creed vs. the culture wars: Hunkered down in the Catholic demilitarized zone
I am a woman at war within myself, in sight of two well-armed realities, my faith life suspended in the center. I think of the two sides of this spiritual DMZ as Creed and Culture.

I left the church. Now my kids are embracing it.
We often hear from readers who worry about how to pass the Catholic faith on to their children. This week’s episode of Jesuitical takes this question and looks at it in reverse.
