The Catholic Current

We welcome back Eric Sammons, editor-in-chief of Crisis Magazine, to discuss his new science fiction novel Shard of Eden. Is there such a thing as authentically Catholic science fiction, and if so, what distinguishes it from other works within the genre? What is required to craft a compelling narrative that both captivates readers and faithfully reflects the teachings of the Church?

The Church is in the business of defeating monsters and driving out devils. Fr. McTeigue explores how she's not a cruise ship, but a battleship.

We welcome back Kelly Salomon and Dr. Denise Donohue of The Cardinal Newman Society to discuss why it is so important to carefully evaluate Catholic schools to determine whether they truly uphold the faith they claim to represent. What “green flags” should parents and prospective students look for, and what warning signs might suggest that a school is best avoided? How can the resources of The Cardinal Newman Society help families navigate this process while seeking an authentically Catholic education?

So many of the words and phrases coming out of the Synod on Synodality don't seem to make sense. They barely seem like English. Perhaps we need a translation. Father McTeigue takes a closer look.

Fr. Robert McTeigue provides guidance for those who are confused about worship. In a world that often appears increasingly disordered, why should the faithful approach divine worship with greater seriousness and reverence? If the Mass is frequently treated as a mere social obligation or an inconvenience, what responsibility do clergy and laity share in restoring a proper understanding of its sacred purpose as an act of reparation offered to God for debts that can never be fully repaid? Father finishes with Weekend Readiness to help prepare you for Sunday Mass.
