Tomorrow (Friday) night at 8:00 PM (ET), NBC will air the two-hour TV-movie A Walk in My Shoes, the third Family Movie Night sponsored by a collaboration of Walmart and Procter & Gamble. The first two, Secrets of the Mountain and The Jensen Project, aired in the same Friday-night time slot  earlier this year (in…

BATTLE OF THE BILLBOARDS: CATHOLIC LEAGUE‘S RESPONSE TO AMERICAN ATHEISTS. Story. These dueling signs are up on the New Jersey and New York sides of the Lincoln Tunnel. As anyone who read yesterday’s blog can probably guess, I’m with those who know in their hearts that it’s real. SMITHSONIAN DROPS ANT-COVERED JESUS EXHIBIT. Story. Incoming…

The holiday — I mean Christmas — season is once again upon us and as has become every bit as much a holiday tradition as decorated trees or eggnog, the aggressive secularists are out in force to degrade the sacred season with all the non-religious fervor they can muster. Some call it the “War on…

Former British Prime Minister, and relatively recent convert to Catholicism,  Tony Blair debated writer Christopher Hitchens (God Is Not Great) over the weekend.  The topic? Whether religion is a force for good in the world? Video. Transcript. It doesn’t take a mystic to guess who was representing which side of the question — and, if…

GA_googleFillSlot(“954x60_primary”); For the record, I’ve never quite gotten the conflict between creationism and evolution. Why couldn’t God have used evolution as part of his creation plan? But aside from that whole argument, The Onion News Network came up with an amusing question. Not about how to teach kids about the beginning of life on Earth…

Credit reader Chris Vaughen for recalling two shows featuring priests in prominent roles that I missed in my recent list. Chris’ edition include Have Faith, a half-hour sitcom which which aired on ABC starred Joel Higgins (Silver Spoons), Ron Carey (Barney Miller) and Stephen Furst way back in 1989. Also, and how could I have…

Another Thanksgiving is here – and another opportunity to express gratitude for all God has given us. While, in reality, everyday we’re alive offers that same opportunity, it’s good to have a day (actually a glorious four-day weekend for many) dedicated to reminding us to grateful. Besides being “right,” research shows being grateful is actually…

In his new book The Face of God: The Rediscovery of the True Face of Jesus (Ignatius Press), Vatican reporter Paul Badde (whose previous three books include Maria of Guadalupe: Shaper of History, Shaper of Hearts, Jerusalem, Jerusalem and The Heavenly City) reports on a personal journey that he believes also has great meaning for…

German Catholic journalist Peter Seewald has landed the ultimate interview. His in-depth conversion with Pope Benedict XVI is the subject of the new book Light of the World: The Pope, the Church, and the Sign of the Times due out tomorrow. Among the highlights being reported in the media: * The Pope understands why the…

I had the good pleasure recently to speak with Bill Ayres, the executive director of WhyHunger.  (This Bill Ayres is not to be confused with the controversial college professor/1960’s anti-war radical.) Our primary topic was this year’s radio Hungerthon, an annual multi-channel event that provides the bulk of the funding for his organization’s aid programs.…
