  • Read more about In the world, not of it: Thoughts on countercultural Christian living

Horizons - Much of our life-long religious formation ingrains in us that Christians are called to be countercultural, and we have a lot of work to do in order to evangelize the culture like Pope Francis invites. But, if we are disciples of Jesus Christ, then our countercultural actions must be guided by how he sent us into the world to witness and proclaim the Gospel.

  • Read more about New dimensions of Joan Chittister's life feature in biography, author says

"Who writes a biography about a nun? Can you think of anything duller?" Benedictine Sr. Joan Chittister posed these questions at an Oct. 6 event marking the publication of the new biography Joan Chittister: Her Journey from Certainty to Faith (Orbis Books). Those in attendance at the book launch at Boston's Pucker Gallery could not have disagreed with Chittister more.

  • Read more about An urgency

See for Yourself - The conference room was filling up and I took a seat next to Doug, a leadership colleague I’ve known for years. He was struggling to maneuver with his left hand, including opening his laptop and getting his meeting materials organized in front of him. His right hand sported a bulky, mitten-style bandage. What if our urgency to love could be more immediate than bleeding?

  • Read more about My week with Pope Francis

Pope Francis is called the "people's pope," and with good reason: He appeals to all people, Catholics and non-Catholics alike. The whole United States seemed to be agog with his September visit to our country, and I was no exception. Like a puppy, I followed him, visiting Philadelphia; Washington, D.C.; and New York during the days of his U.S. tour.

This story appears in the Synod on the Family feature series. View the full series.

  • Read more about Family synod is more diverse than media shows, sister auditor says

"One of the things I appreciate very much being in the synod is the universality — the whole world is there," Sr. Carmen Sammut says. "The groups are made up to have very big differences, to have very different backgrounds."

  • Read more about World Day Against the Death Penalty: Where capital punishment stands

Three Stats and a Map - This past Saturday was World Day Against the Death Penalty. The day has special significance this year for Catholics, because earlier this year Pope Francis issued his most forceful call yet to abolish the practice, which he says is inconsistent with the Catholic Church’s pro-life values.
