As we head into what is sure to be a rancorous general election in the United States, what might we learn from the relationship between the pope and president?

Pope Francis is continuing his work program despite the flu. On Thursday morning, he held seven audiences for individuals and groups.

Jean Denis Saint-Félix, S.J.: “Nobody wants to stay in this hell. People are seeking ways to enter, no matter how, the United States,” even “knowing the danger and risks they go through.”

Pope Francis will continue his custom of celebrating Holy Thursday Mass in a prison during Holy Week 2024.

In concluding his catechesis on virtues and vices, Pope Francis stated that correcting our pride is the greatest battle to which the Christian is called.

“We have to make ‘Evangelii Gaudium’ a reality,” Archbishop García Cuerva tell Gerard O’Connell. “We must make a reality Francis’ words, his documents, his vision of the church as a field hospital.”

The bishops cried out that “of all European countries, France is the only one where the number of abortions is not decreasing and has even increased over the last two years,” and that France “would have honored itself by instead promoting the rights of women and children.”

Christians are not a social club that gathers on Sundays to receive nice-sounding catchphrases. We are to influence the heart of society.

In an interview with Colleen Dulle, Anglican Bishop Jo Bailey Wells talks about attending a meeting of Pope Francis’ Council of Cardinal Advisors where she spoke about her experience as an ordained woman.

Is our intense focus on the form of liturgical celebration placing a disproportionate emphasis upon the Eucharist as the summit of Christian life?
