Known for delivering great speeches, Antonin Scalia this time spoke at a noted Catholic high school graduation. He did not disappoint, making clear that the U.S. Constitution mandates freedom of religion, but not freedom from religion.
Scalia gave the remarks on Saturday at the Archbishop Rummel [Catholic] High School in a suburb of New Orleans.

Catholic New Yorkers Pony Up, Once Again. It’s a story repeated every day, with variations of course, in parishes all over America–still the most generous people on earth. This one definitely has a Christmas feel!…

Carefully think through your strategy. Hint: Write nothing down. Your soul and your conscience are inviolate. Reuter’s reported that a Boston-area Roman Catholic girls’ high school violated a gay man’s rights when it revoked an offer for him to work as director of food services after he revealed on a form that he was married to another man, a state court has ruled.
It’s that time again. Time to deal with the commercials persuading us to start a healthy diet and join a gym so we can get in-shape and lose weight… or time to invest in an opportunity that will make us more money, build self-confidence, make more friends outside of Facebook – all in an effort to become happier.

Catholics in Syria live and lead by example. There is no other option for them. And by their example we can see our own lives with fresh eyes. How are we living for Christ, today, in our families and workplace and business practices?

There are a couple of things that we have to understand at the very outset. The world for Muslims is divided into two parts. First, the land of the people of Islam. Islam means being submitted. So, the land where people are submitted to God. Second, the people or the land or war. If a country has not submitted to Sharia, the law of God as revealed in the Qura

And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another: Let us go over to Bethlehem and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath showed to us. (Luke 2:15)

And it came to pass that when they were there, her days were accomplished that she should be delivered. (Luke 2:6). The hope of such good news from Washington and St. Lucia reminds us of the ultimate Good News – the birth of Christ himself as a man and our way to God through his death and resurrection.

The Population Research Institute (PRI) would never say, “I told you so,” but they’ve been telling the world so for a while now, and the latest news about plummeting birth rates in Germany only makes their persistent alarm all the more prophetic.

…and laid him in a manger: because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:7) It is with this same sense of renewal that Catholics come to the manger – the stable where Christ was born more than 2,000 years ago. While not ideal, the stable was the first room in which our Savior lived when he came to earth, as 20th century Catholic Italian writer Giovanni Papini notes.

In trying to find a “typical” Catholic school for Pope Francis to visit in the United States, planners found Our Lady Queen of Angels in New York.
But given the diversity of situations of U.S. Catholic schools, the inner-city Harlem school gave the pope only a glimpse of the wide variety of models of Catholic education available in various parts of the country.

We are now well into the Advent season. I am enjoying reading daily reflections from the wisdom of Pope Saint John Paul II. At Sunday Mass when Father Bud Roland lit the first candle on the Advent wreath he talked about Advent being a time of waiting and watching in preparation for the coming of Jesus. He also talked about memory, mystery and majesty – each of which is a part
