Articles:A Lifetime of Learning - George WeigelPope Benedict becomes the teacher he always wanted to be. Email This Article A Manna for All Seasons - Anthony EsolenThe Sabbath challenge to the petty gods of profit. Email This Article A Meditation on Evil - James V. Schall, S.J.The meditation on evil is not itself morbid or somber, though evil itself is. Socrates said in The Republic that virtue can know vice but vice cannot know evil. The penalty for vice is the vice itself, the not seeing the good in its fullness, the good that ought to be there.

Email This Article A River Runs to It: A New Exodus of Protestants Streams to Rome - BRAD WILCOXWe’re seeing the first signs of an avalanche of conversions and reconversions. In 1998, more than 88,000 Protestants were received into the Catholic Church (and more than 73,000 adults were baptized, many of them from Protestant backgrounds) and the Protestants [now] coming into the Church are the most devoted Protestants, people deeply committed to Scripture and prayer.

The program “Weaving the Web” has since been dropped for a much more solid program which is at this time also being developed for use at the primary level. Email This Article Acting Niggardly - DONALD DEMARCOThe “right to be offended,” at virtually any time and under nearly any set of circumstances, is considered to be one of the more sacrosanct contributions of political correctness. What stern judgment should we impose then, on the poor, unenlightened soul who washes his floor with Spic and Span, paints his walls with Day-Glo, serves sauerkraut, Swedish meatballs, and Aunt Jemima pancakes to his guests whose necks have been reddened by exposure to the summer sun? Email This Article Activities for Lent - COLEEN ROONEYPope Paul VI in 1969 reminded us in his introduction to the revised liturgical calendar that the season of Lent/Easter is a special time of the year and exerts much influence upon us which can lead to a deepening of our faith if we make use of it. The following are some activities that you may find helpful as you participative with your family (especially with young children) in observing these special 40 days.
