We welcome back author and cultural commentator Sarah Cain, co-host of Rise Right, to examine the growing divide between Europe’s Christian heritage and its secular public life. Why have European leaders been so reluctant to confront these challenges, and what should Americans take away from their experience?

Highly recommended.
Praying to God while looking into the eyes of someone else is obviously not going to be the most conducive form of prayer. Yet the effect of the orientation of the Mass on priests is a neglected subject. My latest for @CrisisMag: crisismagazine.com/opinion/y…
The Catholic Current w/ Fr. Robert McTeigue, S.J. retweeted
Fr Robert McTeigue @CatholicCurrent asks a profoundly uncomfortable question in this video: What if, at the Last Judgement, we were called to account not simply for our own lives, but for what we did with the Christian civilisation entrusted to us? Europe inherited an extraordinary treasury of faith, beauty, learning, sanctity and culture. Cathedrals, monasteries, universities, the sacraments, generations of saints and missionaries. What have we done with that inheritance?
We speak of secularisation as though it were a natural phenomenon, like the weather, something that simply happened to us. But was it inevitable? Or was it also the consequence of generations of Christians, including our shepherds, gradually losing confidence in the truth and transformative power of the Gospel? The most uncomfortable question is not how secularists came to dominate European public life, but why Christians surrendered so much ground, often without putting up much of a fight. Christendom was never perfect, of course. But its underlying conviction was that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that this truth has consequences for every aspect of human life.
Fr McTeigue's challenge is ultimately about stewardship. We have inherited something unimaginably precious. What are we doing to ensure that our children inherit it too? A powerful reflection, and one that deserves serious consideration. youtube.com/watch?v=jiZ0UYq-…
We welcome molecular biologist and cultural commentator Dr. Joomi Kim (@JoomiKim1) to examine oikophobia, a growing tendency among people in the West to reject and even despise their own cultural identity. Where does this sense of self-contempt come from, and what role have education and popular culture played in fostering it? Father finishes with Timely Thoughts.

Don't forget to pray for the dead during this octave. You can merit some indulgences for those suffering. Read more:

Fr. Robert McTeigue offers a thorough critique of the Vatican’s new document Venite ad Me. What was Cardinal Fernández hoping to accomplish, and does the document actually make its case? Father finishes with Weekend Readiness to help prepare you for Sunday Mass.

We welcome Natalya Murakhver, co-founder of Restore Childhood, to take a closer look at what lies behind the growing trend of tattoos and body modifications among young people. Is it about fitting in, finding an identity, or something deeper?

Is the West facing a crisis that politics alone cannot solve?
We were delighted to welcome the wonderfully forthright Fr Robert McTeigue SJ @CatholicCurrent back to Regina Unscripted for a fascinating conversation about the unrest sweeping Europe, demographic collapse, the consequences of the sexual revolution, and a Church that sometimes seems more comfortable talking about dialogue than proclaiming Christ crucified.
We also explore the scandal of mediocrity in Catholic worship, the growing hunger for tradition among young people, and why beauty, truth and goodness matter more than ever.
Sharp, funny, provocative and unapologetically Catholic. Fr McTeigue certainly doesn't pull his punches! 😄

Father Robert McTeigue shows that Europe faces three competing cornerstones—secularism, Islam, and Christianity—and calls for a return to the kingship of Christ. youtu.be/BTRdD-5XMoo

We welcome back John Horvat of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property to discuss the effects of illegal immigration on American communities. How should Catholics weigh the needs of migrants against concerns about the economy, assimilation, and the common good, and why has the Church been largely silent on these issues? Father finishes with Timely Thoughts.

Father Robert McTeigue continues his “Novel Prophecies” series with Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We, a banned novel about a society that sacrifices human freedom for the sake of order. Why do tyrannical systems fear the Church, and what does our faith offer that no government or ideology can replace? Father finishes with Weekend Readiness to help prepare you for Sunday Mass.

We welcome back Dr. R. R. Reno of @firstthingsmag to discuss Christian nationalism and its place in American public life. Why has the term become so controversial, and what do we stand to gain from embracing the idea of a nation shaped by its religious heritage?

The Catholic Current w/ Fr. Robert McTeigue, S.J. retweeted
France never seems too far from a rambunctious protest-turned-riot, so even when engulfed streets reach our press, few raise more than an eyebrow. But there is something fascinating about the Marxist-Islamic alliance that is behind the flames.
Riots have rocked France. French bishops have called for calm and for dialogue. The riots have continued. An obvious solution has been overlooked—why? Father McTeigue takes a closer look.

We welcome explorer and educator Nell Andrzejewski to preview the new @EWTN series Hidden Gems, which visits some of North America’s most meaningful Catholic shrines. What stories lie behind places like the North American Martyrs Shrine and the Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, and why is making a pilgrimage still important for Catholics today? Father Finishes with Timely Thoughts.
