Catholicism engages everything. Faith and politics, history and literature, art and humor, work and leisure—everything. Catholicism is the joyful secret meant to be shared—with everyone, everywhere, and for all time.

Join me in my many conversations!

Death must not be feared. Death, in time, comes to all men. Yes, every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he’s not, he’s a liar. . . The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.

@RickGarnett I think it was the phenomenal tailgate (& its company) I attended beforehand. And yes, while my nose continues to bleed a tad, the experience was forever sweet. Go Irish! ☘️

[Tod Worner @ThinkerCatholic]

Go. Irish.

If Miami wants to fight, we’ll meet them in the alley, and if they do, you save Jimmy Johnson’s ass for me.

@BishopBarron Wonderful to see you again, Bishop!

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Friends, I was delighted to attend Word on Fire’s annual New Ressourcement Conference today in Rochester. Academics from around the world gathered to attest that the life of the mind is essential to the evangelization of the culture.

I have noted before that we are often a hand-wringing Church. Word on Fire was born, in part, from the desire to get beyond the hand-wringing, to do the intellectual work of the Church. The New Ressourcement shares the same ethos, specifically in the discipline of theology.

Theology is in service of the church. It’s in service of the spiritual life. It’s in service of prayer. It’s in service of deepening our friendship with Christ. My hope is that The New Ressourcement will advance this understanding of theology and will, in time, contribute boldly to the life of the Church.

“It is the willingness to rationally discuss in the face of disagreement that manifests our recognition of the other’s dignity. There is nothing dignified about burying our heads in the sand and refusing to discuss our differences openly and honestly.”
