On Needing a Why Before We Die

6 days ago | crisismagazine.com | Regis Martin

The dripping blood our only drink,The bloody flesh our only food:In spite of which we like to thinkThat we are sound, substantial flesh and blood—Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good. —T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets What do you say to someone who is about to die? Is there some advice you should pass along, a recommendation, say, on how best to spend his or her last day? And, by the way, that’s everyone, since nobody’s getting out of here alive.
The Passion Through the Eyes of Our Lady

How much of the Passion did Our Lady witness, and how did she understand it?
We Are All Prodigal Sons and Daughters

1 week ago | crisismagazine.com | Regis Martin

How do we know God loves us? Is there any evidence in the Scriptures telling us that He does? Is there an image perhaps to which we can easily point to prove that we are loved by God in the most intimate and unmistakable way? There are actually a whole busload of examples, of which the following may be the most profound and compelling of all. It is certainly the most recent, appearing just the other day in one of the Lenten readings taken from the prophet Isaiah (49:6-15).
Chasing the Apocalypse

2 weeks ago | crisismagazine.com | Eric Sammons

We live in strange times. Our culture has long been looking to Sodom and Gomorrah not as warnings but as models to emulate. We lived through a worldwide pandemic that we’ve since discovered originated not from nature but from man’s hubris…and there’s reason to suspect another “plandemic” might be coming. Technology threatens to blur the distinction between human and machine. And instead of being a light of the world, the Church herself staggers under the weight of confusion and apostasy.
The Drive into the Desert

2 weeks ago | crisismagazine.com | Regis Martin

In looking over the synoptic accounts of Jesus going off to the desert to do battle with Satan and the temptations that await Him, one sees that there is complete agreement among the three Evangelists concerning both the length of His struggle and what exactly He was doing before and after. Forty days is the figure they each report; and all agree that on one side there was a baptism to be performed, while on the other there will be a public ministry to begin.
Navigating Our Brave New World

3 weeks ago | crisismagazine.com | Eric Sammons

Are you a tech optimist or pessimist? Do you think our advancing technology-in areas such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, robotics, and space technology-will make our world better or worse? And do you think the new technologies of the last two centuries have more helped or harmed the advancement of mankind? I've found that the more traditional a Catholic is, the more likely he is to answer those questions pessimistically.
Augustine the Saint

Editor's Note: This is the eighteenth and final article in a of articles on St. Augustine, one of the greatest of Church Fathers, and how his writings still apply today. It has long been a commonplace among commentators of the Confessions that the first nine books are about Augustine's ardent search for truth, leaving reflections on its meaning for the remaining four books.
The Hidden Saints of Seventh-Century England

1 month ago | crisismagazine.com | Joseph Pearce

[Editor’s Note: This is the thirty-fourth in a multi-part series on the unsung heroes of Christendom.]Over the centuries, the English have been something of a curse to the Irish. English rulers, such as Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, and Oliver Cromwell, have sought to impose their will on the people of Ireland, often through the tyrannical use of terror on a defenseless population. There is, however, one sense in which the Irish have conquered not only the English but the whole English-speaking world.
Sublime Sisterhood

1 month ago | crisismagazine.com | Regis Martin

It has been more than ten years since a deacon by the name of Ronnie Lastovica was first asked to bring Holy Communion to a woman awaiting execution on Death Row in a Texas prison. Her name was Linda Carty, age fifty-six, who, having spent a dozen years already under sentence of death, was running out of time. Deacon Ronnie agreed to return, and so, week after week, he would minister to her. Not long after the visits began, she told him about another woman who had asked to see him.
That Hideous Severance

1 month ago | crisismagazine.com | Gail Finke

The second season of Apple TV’s phenomenal hit Severance has held many surprises, but the biggest may be its growing similarities to a dystopianesque novel by C.S. Lewis. Will this season end more or less like that book? With less than a week to go before the season two finale, I’ll risk a guess. But first, a refresher. .
