Father Bayer: 'Can the Church save marriage?' Columnists

Father Bayer: 'Can the Church save marriage?'

Friday, January 22, 2021032 In the July/August 2020 issue of Christianity Today, there is an article by Mark Regnerus, a sociologist at UT Austin, entitled “Vanishing Vows: Can the Church Save Marriage?” It previews his book, The Future of Christian Marriage, and reports interviews of young Christians in Mexico, Spain, Poland, Russia, Lebanon, Nigeria and the...

Father Esposito: Grace at Work in Infant Baptism

Friday, January 8, 20210184 I learned recently that the priest who baptized me, Monsignor Joseph Ferraro, died of Covid-19 on December 17. Father Ferraro was a Navy chaplain stationed in Oakland, California when my father was on active duty, and he de-heathenized me when I was a month old. I never met Monsignor Joe as an adult, but we exchanged emails several years...
Father Bayer: Judgment Columnists

Father Bayer: Judgment

Wednesday, December 16, 2020058 In Advent we meditate on the coming of Christ. Traditionally, we contemplate not only his coming at Christmas, but also his second coming at the end of time – his coming “in glory to judge the living and the dead” (as we say in the Nicene Creed).
Father Esposito: The Noble Truth of Advent Columnists

Father Esposito: The Noble Truth of Advent

Saturday, November 28, 20200313 Christians look to the light of Christ, the true light that knows no darkness or extinguishing (see John 1:4-5), to irradiate the gloom of their own suffering. Our efforts to purify the weak and fluttering flame of our heart from the ravenous cravings of selfishness, lust, and greed dim the light we radiate to others, and can bring us to...
Father Bayer: Stacy Trasancos: Chemist, Mother and Synthesizer of Faith and Science Columnists

Father Bayer: Stacy Trasancos: Chemist, Mother and Synthesizer of Faith and Science

Saturday, November 14, 20200319 I recently read a great book about Catholicism and science, “Particles of Faith” by Stacy A. Trasancos. It seems suited for anyone interested in the topic, and especially for undergraduates and precocious high-school students, or science-minded Catholics looking for excitement as they nourish their faith in a secular culture....
Father Esposito: Cyrus and the Lord of History Columnists

Father Esposito: Cyrus and the Lord of History

Saturday, October 31, 20200139 The prophet Isaiah surely knew he was introducing a shocking concept when he communicated a message of the Lord beginning with the words “Thus says the Lord to His anointed Cyrus” (Isaiah 45:1). The shock is not that the prophet refers to a king as the messiah, but rather that this particular king is not even an Israelite. Cyrus the...
Father Bayer: Examining Our Conscience Before Voting Columnists

Father Bayer: Examining Our Conscience Before Voting

Friday, October 16, 20200529 Listening to the faithful, I sense some political frustration with clergy. They don’t want partisan priests, but they do want the Church to speak the truth boldly; so, they are frustrated when statements given by priests and bishops seem either to transgress the limits of their authority by pronouncing on matters involving secular...
Father Esposito: Compline and the Good Night Columnists

Father Esposito: Compline and the Good Night

Thursday, October 1, 2020098 Among the treasures contained in our monastic hours of prayer, none is more precious to me than Compline, also known as Night Prayer. Its Latin name, Completorium, identifies it as the concluding communal prayer of the day, chanted in the evening twilight or, in the winter months, when the sun has already set.
Father Bayer: Speaking Humbly Columnists

Father Bayer: Speaking Humbly

Friday, September 18, 20200260 Ready for election season? As we discern our candidates, I suggest reading the USCCB’s document Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship. In the meantime, here I try to promote unity in the Church and in our country by offering a meditation that, I hope, will humble us all and thereby draw us closer together.
Father Esposito: The relationship between laughter and grace Columnists

Father Esposito: The relationship between laughter and grace

Tuesday, September 8, 20200161 The Swiss theologian Karl Barth is the author of a line that has always fascinated me: in the realm of nature, “Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God” that we possess. I would like to explain why I think he is absolutely correct.
