The selection of Bishop-elect Simon Peter Engurait’s to head the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux highlights the presence of the tight-knit East African community in the Church in the US.
The Ugandan Martyrs challenge today’s culture to rediscover the meaning of purity, courage and spiritual fatherhood.
Thousands of pilgrims trekked hundreds of miles on foot to honor the Uganda Martyrs and invoke their intercession.
Catholic organizations are in conflict again with the Biden Administration over abortion. The US Bishops and other Catholic groups have filed a lawsuit against a federal agency for forcing them to include time off for pregnant workers who have an abortion. Daniel Blomberg, vice president and senior counsel for Becket explains. Then Jonathan Liedl reports Uganda where 4 million people gathered for mass for the feast day of St. Charles Lwanga and companions.
Those gathered were a testament to the ongoing impact of St. Charles Lwanga and Companions on the Church in Africa — which has gone from under 2 million adherents in 1900 to 236 million just over a century later.
COMMENTARY: The liturgical memorial of the Ugandan martyrs is a fitting reminder to recommit to the Catholic Church’s fight against sexual predation against the young and vulnerable.
