A Reflection for Monday of the Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time, by Jill Rice

"The whole church needs fraternity, which must be present in all of our relationships, whether between lay people and priests, priests and bishops, bishops and the pope," he said during his homily at Mass on the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul June 29.

Many aspects of Pope Francis’ remarkable program of ecclesial renewal weare prefigured in Hans Urs von Balthasar’s vision for the church.

Sister Camille D’Arienzo “didn’t toe the line. She said what she believed. She is a progressive woman who had a very big pulpit, which was over three million listeners a week.”

Father Arrupe’s intense desire for union with the heart of Christ gave him strength as he ministered to victims of the Hiroshima attack.

On Inside the Vatican, we explore Pope Leo’s persistent calls for peace and his unexpected support for journalist Paola Ugaz, who exposed abuse in a powerful Peruvian lay group suppressed by Pope Francis.

Though other factors are surely at play, church leaders in Nigeria insist the attacks are part of a systematic campaign to drive Christians from the region or force their conversion.

How should American Catholics respond to the U.S. attacks on Iran? Perhaps the Feast of Corpus Christi offers a counterpoint to the god of war, power and vengeance invoked by so many today.

Pope Francis honored women's contributions to the life of the church. I trust Pope Leo XIV to do the same.

As Sam Tanenhaus makes clear in 'Buckley: The Life and the Revolution That Changed America,' it is impossible to understand American politics and culture without grasping Buckley’s immense influence.
