The 84th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor and the Day of the Lord!

37+ min ago (139+ words) It was under the deception of peace and negotiations that Japan struck without warning. On a beautiful SUNDAY morning, when our guard was down and daydreaming of a positive, bright future for the world and our children, infamy struck. The technological advances OF OUR DAY have demonstrated to all who pay attention that we are more evil and more godless than ever (conservative and liberal). An overwhelming majority of the world's inhabitants (conservative and liberal) REJECT the RIGHTEOUS REALITIES of Almighty God's Word and its prophetic TRUTHS. In these last days, may we be the children of light that our Savior desires of us. May we be steadfast and unmovable as this world is about to enter the ultimate "Pearl Harbor" called "the Day of the Lord" (1 Thess. 5:3). The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Maranatha!...

New print journal for ‘intellectual Catholic women’ to be released in April

1+ hour, 15+ min ago (1368+ words) December 7, 2025 Catholic News Agency News Briefs 0 Print Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Dec 7, 2025 / 09:00 am While teaching an ethics and culture course, Heidi Bollich-Erne was looking for a journal featuring the work of Catholic women for her students to read. After being told that it simply didn't exist, she decided to create one herself. With the help of a team of women, Bollich-Erne has founded what she calls the "first intellectual Catholic women's journal." Its purpose is to not only define the feminine genius but also to show how faithful women can embody its beauty in their daily lives. "I want women to find a home, a place that values their work. The journal itself is edited, written, and published solely by Catholic women," Bollich-Erne told CNA. "The way that women write, the way that we express ourselves is very different. That's just who…...

Don’t Be a Cynic About Today’s Religious Revival

1+ hour, 52+ min ago (408+ words) You're reading'Dispatch Faith, our weekly newsletter exploring the biggest stories in religion and faith. Looking for more ways to support our work? Become a Dispatch member today. Welcome back to Dispatch Faith. Hopefully, your Thanksgiving holiday was joyous. One of the things I'm thankful for today is Americans' willingness to sacrifice for one another. So I'd be remiss not to point out that today is the 84th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, made all the more somber because this year it falls on a Sunday, just as it did in 1941. Much has been made of the waves of young people seeking religion. As Stephen G. Adubato points out below, news stories about Gen Z's return to faith (often in the Catholic or Orthodox traditions) proliferate just about every week. We've covered it before in this newsletter. Though it's legitimate to…...

Being a nun offers me the best of both worlds: prayer and service to the poor | Letter

2+ hour, 7+ min ago (248+ words) Sister Sophia Rose responds to Emma Beddington's article on how nuns are having a moment Thank you to Emma Beddington for her thoughtful column (Tired of being a woman in 2025? Why not become a nun?, 1 December). It is always refreshing to see nuns and religious sisters portrayed in a context other than the horror-movie stereotype we seem to have inherited. I was intrigued by her mention of Convent Wisdom: How Sixteenth-Century Nuns Could Save Your Twenty-First-Century Life by Ana Garriga and Carmen Urbita. I look forward to reading it and I may well recommend it in our Franciscan'newsletter. For me, this vocation offers the best of both worlds. I live in a community of women and participate in our daily offices of prayer, yet I also live and work in central London, very much immersed in the life of the…...

What If Your Noble Purpose Has a Secret Agenda?

2+ hour, 35+ min ago (774+ words) Posted December 7, 2025 | Reviewed by Jessica Schrader The poet David Whyte once said that "ambition is a word that lacks ambition." I take him to mean that the way we usually use ambition'career, status, the next big thing'is actually smaller than the larger undertaking of a life. The real question is not "What am I achieving?" but "Who am I becoming as I achieve it?" That sounds lofty and poetic. In practice, it can look like standing in your kitchen asking yourself a very unpoetic question: Did I become this woman's legal representative because it was my purpose, or because it made me feel like a good person? I tell this story in my memoir Easy Street: A Story of Redemption from Myself, but I keep circling back to it, because it is the clearest X-ray I have of my own…...
