The Catholic Current

We welcome back Kelly Salomon and Dr. Denise Donohue of The Cardinal Newman Society to discuss why it is so important to carefully evaluate Catholic schools to determine whether they truly uphold the faith they claim to represent. What “green flags” should parents and prospective students look for, and what warning signs might suggest that a school is best avoided? How can the resources of The Cardinal Newman Society help families navigate this process while seeking an authentically Catholic education?

So many of the words and phrases coming out of the Synod on Synodality don't seem to make sense. They barely seem like English. Perhaps we need a translation. Father McTeigue takes a closer look.

Fr. Robert McTeigue provides guidance for those who are confused about worship. In a world that often appears increasingly disordered, why should the faithful approach divine worship with greater seriousness and reverence? If the Mass is frequently treated as a mere social obligation or an inconvenience, what responsibility do clergy and laity share in restoring a proper understanding of its sacred purpose as an act of reparation offered to God for debts that can never be fully repaid? Father finishes with Weekend Readiness to help prepare you for Sunday Mass.

We welcome back author and scholar Joseph Pearce to examine the cultural and spiritual decline of Europe in light of its increasing distance from its Christian heritage. Contemporary policy responses don't seem to be fostering positive change. Could Europe’s authentic renewal depend upon a rediscovery of the Christian foundations that once shaped its identity and institutions?

A student insisted that morality is whatever each person decides for themselves. One question can expose the uncomfortable consequences of that idea and stop a room cold. Father McTeigue takes a closer look.

We welcome back Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse of the Ruth Institute for a rigorous examination of the social and developmental outcomes associated with same-sex parenting and alternative family structures. Research indicates elevated risks in areas such as emotional well-being, academic achievement, and long-term stability for children raised outside the traditional mother–father household. How did we get here, and are there any pastoral, educational, or civic efforts that might be able to help slow the growing trend? Father finishes with Timely Thoughts.

Fr. Robert McTeigue reminds us to embrace Lent as a time of true sacrifice and repentance, encouraging us to take an honest look in the mirror and avoid merely pretending that we believe that we are sinners in need of salvation. Father finishes with Weekend Readiness to help you prepare for Sunday Mass.

We welcome back John Horvat of Tradition Family and Property to evaluate where socialism comes up short. While the prospect of free handouts can sound attractive to some, there are dangerous consequences that come with it, and the poor track record backs that up. Why does socialism undermine private property, human dignity, and incentives for virtue, family, and honest work, and what are some reasonable alternatives?

Father Robert McTeigue reflects on a recent meeting of bishops from across the Americas and questions the substance and timing of their public call for unity and support of migrants. He challenges Church leaders to offer greater transparency, clearer rebuttals to public accusations, and more visible pastoral care for victims of violence.
