What began as an answer to Pope John Paul II’s call for a “New Evangelization” has drawn millions of people into—or back to—the Catholic faith.

Join us in celebrating twenty-five years of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries.

What makes a prayer book a work of sacred art? Why are elements chosen the way they are? How are books crafted to last a lifetime?

The story of America simply cannot be told without the story of its Catholics.

Beneath the familiar narrative of our nation’s founding lies a startling Catholic dimension that has been overlooked, underestimated, and almost completely forgotten. From the bold, risk-it-all witness of Catholic founding father Charles Carroll to the deep, classical roots of natural law pulsing right through the Declaration of Independence, America is far more shaped by Catholic ideas than most people realize.

As technology continues to advance, the one thing that will always remain distinctly human is our capacity to love.

Composure and courage often go together and are aided by meekness—an unassuming virtue.

@timotheeology @BishopBarron Bishop has addressed this already. It was her conduct that was the issue, not her views. https://t.co/O5fhwzrbKH

Over the past several weeks, Carrie Prejean Boller has complained that she was removed from the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty because of her Catholic beliefs, and she has called out myself and other Catholic members of the commission for not defending her. This is absurd. Mrs. Prejean Boller was not dismissed for her religious convictions but rather for her behavior at a gathering of the Commission last month: browbeating witnesses, aggressively asserting her point of view, hijacking the meeting for her own political purposes. The Catholic position on matters of “Zionism,” to which I fully subscribe, is as follows: all forms of antisemitism are to be unequivocally condemned; the state of Israel has a right to exist; but the modern nation of Israel does not represent the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and hence does not stand beyond criticism. If Mrs. Prejean Boller were dismissed for holding these beliefs, it is difficult to understand why I am still a member of the Commission. To paint herself as a victim of anti-Catholic prejudice or to claim that her religious liberty has been denied is simply preposterous.

Thank you, @BishopBarron, for your service on the Religious Liberty Commission and for representing the Catholic perspective in this important conversation.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Friends, I had the opportunity today to meet with President Trump at the White House in connection with my work on the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission. I want to share a few thoughts about our conversation and why the defense of religious liberty matters for believers and nonbelievers alike.
