How to Love a Homosexual

Ask a Priest vol. 22

(Editor’s note: Fr. John is re-considering the advice he offers here. I am leaving this post intact as a point of reference, but please read the update from Fr. John here.)

Year of the Priest Closes

AP Photo/Pier Paolo Cito

Some 15,000 priests from 91 countries celebrated the close of the Year of the Priest with a conference on priesthood in Rome the past few days.

The picture at left is from the prayer vigil with the Pope last night.

This morning the largest concelebration in Rome’s history (and probably ever) took place.

After the homily, the gathered priests renewed their vows just as they do at a chrism mass.

Here’s an excerpt... READ MORE

You may also appreciate George Weigel’s analysis.

Let’s keep the Pope close in our hearts and prayers this Holy Week, and pray also for the whole Church: for sinners, for their victims, for those scandalized and tempted against their faith, for those bearing the shame of crimes they didn’t commit, and for those attacking the Church and the pope for any and all motives.

Christ bore the cross for all these things, and he alone can fully heal them.


Behind the Milk Scare

Let's pray for China

Have you been keeping up with the news of the dairy scandal coming out of China?

What haunts me most is the idea that those who would have warned parents of the potential harm to babies from contaminated milk were hushed up in order to avoid a scandal during the summer Olympics.

Beijing’s political priority of holding a “harmonious” Olympics was also a factor. Parents who tried to act as whistle-blowers... READ MORE
