In Appreciation of Bishop Barron

3 days ago | crisismagazine.com | Eric Sammons

Bishop Robert Barron recently appeared on the Tucker Carlson Show, in a wide-ranging discussion that covered prayer, evolution, AI, the New Atheist Movement, and about a dozen more topics. Naturally, the Catholic world was excited by a Catholic bishop—and one of our most well-spoken—appearing in front of such a large, and mostly non-Catholic, audience. How would he do? What would he say? I was not immune from the excitement, but I admit I was nervous as well.
A Prophet in Shining Armor

[Editor’s Note: This is the thirty-ninth in a multi-part series on the unsung heroes of Christendom.]Cortes was born in Spain in 1809, a descendant of the conquistador Hernán Cortes. Having flirted with the ideas of the Enlightenment, he became increasingly critical of the liberal political ideas that were sweeping across Europe in the wake of the secularist tyranny of the French Revolution.
Does God Speak?

If this were day one in a course on the Theology of Christ, the first order of business would be to issue the following disclaimer, which is that not even the least glimpse into the mystery of Jesus is possible without first answering one very big question. Leave it out and the whole inquiry regarding who He was and the work He came into this world to do would simply implode on the launching pad.
Should Vance Have Kissed the Ring?

1 week ago | crisismagazine.com | Eric Sammons

Although our country has Protestant roots and is still predominantly Protestant, we are now accustomed to Catholics in high political office. Unfortunately, many of those Catholic politicians—people such as Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Richard Durbin—aren’t very good Catholics, showing disdain for fundamental Catholic teaching like the dignity of the unborn and the sacredness of marriage.
Sacramentalizing the world

2 weeks ago | crisismagazine.com | Regis Martin

Editor’s Note: This is the third in a series on Catholic culture. Let us try to imagine a Church filled with Christ, overflowing with His presence and power. Not too difficult, is it? Is that not the customary, immemorial even, way of referring to the Bride and Body of Christ? And does she not accordingly see herself situated along a continuum stretching from time into eternity, a sheer uninterrupted line of horizon betwixt Earth and Heaven?
Navigating the Waters Ahead

2 weeks ago | crisismagazine.com | Eric Sammons

The smoke has cleared from the Sistine Chapel, and Pope Leo XVI has been elected to lead the Catholic Church into an uncertain future. As Catholics around the world look to Rome with a mixture of hope and trepidation, one question emerges above all others: How do we navigate the turbulent waters ahead? For more than four decades, Crisis Magazine has been a steady compass for faithful Catholics seeking truth in times of confusion. Since 1982, we’ve refused to retreat when the going gets tough.
Being Good Bankers

2 weeks ago | crisismagazine.com | Casey Chalk

As Catholics, we know we’re not to prioritize or obsess over money and possessions. “You cannot serve God and mammon,” Jesus warns in the Sermon on the Mount. Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Singers Silenced by War

3 weeks ago | crisismagazine.com | Joseph Pearce

Editor’s Note: This is the thirty-eighth in a multi-part series on the unsung heroes of Christendom. There have been so many dark centuries in the history of Christendom that one hesitates to call any particular century the darkest of all. Some have been as dark as the 20th century, but none have been as deadly. In terms of the sheer body count, the 20th century, with its wars of irreligion and its access to industrialized weapons of mass destruction, is the most murderous in human history.
The Catholic Artificial Intelligence Moment

3 weeks ago | crisismagazine.com | Eric Sammons

Soon after his election, Pope Leo XIV revealed why he chose his papal name, and he noted that the rise of artificial intelligence was on his mind: I chose to take the name Leo XIV. There are different reasons for this, but mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution.
Christ as the Center of Culture

4 weeks ago | crisismagazine.com | Regis Martin

Editor’s Note: This is the second in a series on Catholic culture. I begin with the following proposition. It is one which, among committed Christians certainly, may be taken as a given, as axiomatic. Not a statement of fact, mind you, as in the sum of two plus two will always be four. It is instead a statement of value, the certainty of which is hardly a function of arithmetic. It depends rather on revelation, as in Divine Revelation, the truth of which derives not from man but from God.
