    Kirk is not a modern day St. Paul, despite what Cardinal Dolan says. The only thing that such myth-making achieves is fomenting resentment, curtailing dialogue, and stifling action to otherwise prevent this tragedy from happening again.
    New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan joins the assembly in reciting the Nicene Creed during an ecumenical prayer service for peace in the world in honor of Mary, Mother of God, at Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Cathedral in the Brooklyn Heights section of Brooklyn, New York, May 20, 2025.

    Cardinal Dolan calls the late Charlie Kirk 'a modern-day St. Paul.' I'm not making this up.

    Catholic priests have been barred from providing religious services inside Florida's controversial new migrant detention facility — dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" — nearly three weeks after it opened deep in the Everglades, the archbishop of Miami said.
    Motorcycles ridden by Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski and Knights on Bikes are parked in front of the entrance to Alligator Alcatraz, a controversial immigration detention facility some 55 miles from Miami in the Florida Everglades. The archbishop and his fellow bikers stopped to pray a rosary for detainees July 20, 2025. (OSV News/Thomas G. Wenski)

    Republican candidates Donald Trump and JD Vance have been spreading lies about immigrants in the United States as a cornerstone of their campaign. The shameful silence of our Catholic leaders has been beyond deafening. bit.ly/4e9Zs3J

    Catholics in Hong Kong who have taken the side of the protesters, along with sympathetic emigres in the US, agree that the church should promote peaceful solutions. But some argue that church leadership has not been out front as much as it could be. ncr.media/2tB9EBy

    Faithful Catholics must vote for the ticket most likely to promote a dignified quality of life for all and the works of social justice throughout our society. In such a broadened view, this Catholic, at least, must vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz. bit.ly/4hoMQsf

    Review: As we follow the devil on an L.A. "vacation," a theology of self-actualization emerges. Unlike humans, Lucifer doesn't just believe God exists. He knows it. Consequently, the one-sided relationship uniquely pains him. ncr.media/3kOqeD1

    BREAKING: Pope Francis has expressed openness to Catholic blessings for same-sex couples, under the condition they are not confused with marriage ceremonies for men and women, in what could be a watershed moment for the global Catholic Church.

    If a Christian leader in her pulpit, addressing a president who voluntarily placed himself in that sacred space, cannot speak out of the heart of the Gospel, then we might as well turn our cathedrals, basilicas and other houses of worship into museums.

    Cardinal Timothy Dolan said he was "doubly disappointed" by the rejection from Kamala Harris of his invitation to the annual Al Smith dinner. But we are triply disappointed that Dolan did not have the courage to stand up to Donald Trump.
