Held in a festive atmosphere and under warm, sunny September skies, organizers estimated 10,000 participants took part...

What Aquinas writes about dreams is something we have all observed, and it calls for closer consideration: “those things which have occupied a man’s thoughts and affections while awake recur to his imagination while asleep.” This implies that our nighttime dreams are not wholly beyond our sway. Indeed, it grounds a very practical approach to improving our dreams. The point here is not to attempt what is impossible...

When so many Catholic and other Christian filmmakers are working so admirably and achieving so much popular and evangelical success—success, one hastens to add, in an industry whose power players are inimical to everything these filmmakers stand for—it might well seem churlish to point out any limitation in their work. But when their work contributes, however unwittingly, to the diminution, if not outright abolition, of an entire tradition of filmmaking, then something needs to be said.

There's nothing quite like the energy, emotion, pageantry and good ol' fashioned fun that takes place every fall weekend at college football games. There are time-honored traditions that date back many decades. There are century-old marching bands and pulsating techno hits. There are rampaging animals, covered wagons, antique cars and even storied rocks. There are quaint customs and there are controversies -- it wouldn't be college football without controversy, right?

Looking at the culmination of Jesus’s earthly life, Pope Leo reflected on His death on a cross. Continuing his General Audience catechesis on the crucifixion and death of Jesus, the Pope stressed that Jesus did not die in silence. “He does not fade away gradually, like a light that burns out, but rather he leaves life with a cry.” That cry, Pope Leo explained, is more than the body surrendering, “but the final sign of a life being surrendered.” Before this, Jesus offers a question...

Having spent most of July and August off the grid while teaching in Poland and vacationing in Canada, I missed a lot of the Great Cracker Barrel Logo Fracas. But from what little I have observed of this absurd “debate” over whether removing a white man from the company logo constituted another corporate cave-in to wokery, which was followed by the equally inane “debate” over whether Cracker Barrel’s restoration of that figure to its logo was a further step toward the end of democracy...

Supporters of the extraordinary form of the liturgy have welcomed the announcement that the traditional Latin Mass will be celebrated in St. Peter’s Basilica as part of an annual traditionalist pilgrimage to Rome in October. The Mass, expected to be celebrated according to the 1962 Missal, will be the first time that rubric is used in St. Peter’s and in connection with the annual event since 2021...

The Catholic Church will commemorate the liturgical memorial of St. Carlo Acutis on Oct. 12 and of St. Pier Giorgio Frassati on July 4. The two young men were canonized Sept. 7 by Pope Leo XIV in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican. In the case of St. Carlo Acutis, the Italian teenager who died in 2006 and was beatified in Assisi in October 2020, his feast day was set for Oct. 12, coinciding with the anniversary of his death from fulminant leukemia at the age of 15.

Traditionalist Catholics celebrated news Monday that the Vatican under Pope Leo XIV had given them permission to celebrate the old Latin Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica during their upcoming pilgrimage. U.S. Cardinal Raymond Burke, a figurehead of the conservative and traditionalist wing of the church, will celebrate the Mass on Oct. 25, the pilgrimage organizers said...
