As I mentioned in a previous post, the La Salette Center for Christian Living in Attleboro, Massachusetts will be offering a Lenten Series of discussions led by Father John Sullivan, M.S., and members of Pax Christi. This is particularly troubling since Pax Christi is a member organization of Cathol...

I also offer this postscript to those who criticize me for taking public stances that may not be popular or “politically correct,� or may not agree with their own personal notions of what “progressive� Catholic doctrine should be. My job as a Bishop is to promulgate the authentic teaching of...

That Catholics would essentially thumb their noses at the local bishop when he clarifies Catholic teaching on faith and morals is manifest ne...

Posted an hour ago at The Australian: Former High Court judge Ian Callinan appointed to Father Peter Kennedy case Ian Callinan was nominated by Archbishop Bathersby to mediate between the Archdiocese and Fr. Peter Kennedy, the rogue Catholic priest who is refusing to leave St. Mary's after the chief...

Good grief. There are some real bozos over there at The Tablet - a UK "catholic" weekly with a readership of about just over 23,000 (but as Fr. Z points out, he gets more than that in one day!) Go read Fr. Tim Finigan's legally compliant response to The Tablet's goofy article. I mean, this is just p...
