In his speech on the 102nd anniversary of St. John Paul II’s birth, the papal biographer outlined key lessons, in particular with regard to the Holy See’s diplomatic relationships with authoritarian regimes.
George Weigel of the Ethics and Public Policy Center gives important context on the Russia and Ukraine conflict. Also, Father Benedict Kiely of Nasarean.org, an advocacy and aid organization for persecuted Christians, talks about the special need to support Ukrainians displaced in their own country by the war.
Images of Russian bombs hitting Ukrainian neighborhoods, of roads choked with fleeing families, and of some Ukrainian émigrés returning home to defend their nation injected a new urgency into the ongoing policy debate.
Why does the Russian invasion of Ukraine pose a major threat to global order and stability? And what more could Pope Francis do right now?
COMMENTARY: The culture war defining much of contemporary public life throughout the Western world comes in two forms.
Weigel argues that “in many American parishes where the Extraordinary Form has been offered as well as the more common Ordinary Form, the unity of the Church has not been impaired."
COMMENTARY: ‘Pro-choice’ politicians don’t typically misunderstand what the Church teaches, but that they reject it — and still insist on presenting themselves as serious Catholics in full communion with the Church.
The papal biographer marked the May 18 anniversary in remarks to the Polish Bishops’ Conference.
The Church in Germany is called to follow revealed truth rather than the spirit of the times, George Weigel, biographer of St. John Paul II, has said in response to recent comments defending the “Synodal Way” made by the head of the German bishops’ conference.
BOOK PICK: Many of the lives highlighted in ‘Not Forgotten’ were friends of the great Catholic author and essayist, and many were those he simply had a deep admiration for.
