@MarcelLeJeune I'd say that's a generalization. Working age laity earn far more than us priests do. We certainly have "job security." But as far as employees, at least in smaller churches such as in my diocese, the priest is often the ONLY full-time employee with benefits.

I know I’ve been posting a lot recently, but as Fr. Richard John Neuhaus used to say, “it’s a target-rich environment” right now.

The governor of Massachusetts just signed into law a statute that permits abortion up until the moment of birth, as long as mother and doctor give the go-ahead.
Please understand what this means. A fully-formed child, moments before exiting the birth canal, can be eviscerated, chopped into pieces, have its head crushed or skin burned off—all under the full protection of Massachusetts law.

What I found particularly gross was the reaction of the entirely female crowd around the female governor of Massachusetts as she signed this barbaric provision into law. They were clapping and cackling with delight because what can only be called infanticide can now be practiced with impunity in their state.

I’m old enough to remember when Mario Cuomo, the devoutly Catholic governor of New York, admitted that, though he found abortion personally repugnant, he was, after tortured wrestling with his conscience, willing to give it limited protection of law.

How far we have fallen from agonized and conflicted Cuomo to the present governor of Massachusetts and her entourage gleefully applauding the murder of children.

Sec Marco Rubio: "The world communism envisions is a world without God."

"One of the criticisms you sometimes hear of communism is that it 'sounds good in theory, but it never works in practice.' That's actually not true. Communism does NOT sound good in theory."

Right on. 🔥

[Fr. Jason Signalness @jsignal]

@FrHilderbrand Yes, this is the truth.

With the University of Mary flag raised in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Leo XIV passed by a group of high school pilgrims led by Mary, offering a warm thumbs-up.

A simple but unforgettable moment in Rome.🇻🇦

I’m never confident in how to say it, whether it’s my 28th anniversary or 29th anniversary.
What I do know is that I start my 29th year as a Catholic priest today.
I’m so grateful to Jesus. I can’t believe this. There is nothing I would rather be doing.
I’m thankful for the prayers and patience of God‘s people. There is simply no way I would’ve made it without them.
I regularly try to make little rules for myself, and these are the three that are most important so far.

1. Act like I wish I felt.
Always be pleasant, patient and kind. Moody, grumpy Priests are a defining experience for many.

2. Fight to be a Priest.
A lot of people don’t want you to actually be a Priest. Your authorities want you to be a safe and capable administrator. Many of God‘s people want you to be a psychiatrist with a degree in Jesus. Fight to be a Priest.

3. You will fail at one and two if you do not pray.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

@FrCharles I usually make such an announcement at funerals. The practicing Catholics with non-practicing or non-Catholic family members present have thanked me for saying it, so they didn't have to.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The Catholic Church has consistently taught that each human life, from the moment of conception until natural death, is sacred and deserves to be protected. Indeed, the right to life is the very foundation of every other human right. For this reason, only when a society safeguards the sanctity of human life will it flourish and prosper.

A recent statement by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez illuminates the Marxist ideology which continues to take hold of American politicians. Here are my thoughts.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

There was a line from Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural address yesterday that took my breath away. He said he intended to replace “the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Collectivism in its various forms is responsible for the deaths of at least one hundred million people in the last century. Socialist and Communist forms of government around the world today—Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, etc.—are disastrous. Catholic social teaching has consistently condemned socialism and has embraced the market economy, which people like Mayor Mamdani caricature as “rugged individualism.” In fact, it is the economic system that is based upon the rights, freedom, and dignity of the human person. For God’s sake, spare me the “warmth of collectivism.”

Still another attack on religious liberty.

@msgrted Congratulations Monsignor, and thank you for your joyous and generous service to the Church, especially your time as rector at Kenrick.

Friends, our new Holy Father is Pope Leo XIV!

Born and raised in Chicago, Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost entered the novitiate of the Order of Saint Augustine in 1977 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1981.

The first-ever American pope, Prevost served most recently as the head of the Church’s Dicastery for Bishops and president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America.

Please join me in praying for Pope Leo!

White smoke! The 133 Cardinal electors gathered in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel have elected the new Pope. He will appear soon at the central window of St. Peter’s Basilica.
