The nomination of a new Supreme Court judge has led to a lot of overheated rhetoric. It has also led our Governor to campaign for his radical abortion expansion plan, which would increase access to late-term abortions and remove virtually any regulation of abortion. "Pro-choice" has clearly become not just "pro-abortion", but a virtual idolatry of abortion.

From the Wall Street Journal, Jason L. Riley asks, "As Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination tees up another national debate about reproductive rights, is it too much to ask that abortion’s impact on the black population be part of the discussion?"

With a new nominee to the Supreme Court about to be announced, it's important that we have realistic expectations about what this will mean for legalized abortion.

A blessed Fourth of July and summer!

What has been lost in the coverage of the Cardinal McCarrick story is its real significance -- as much as it is a tragedy and a crime, it is also in reality a success story. It proves that nobody is above the law, and that the system in place to handle allegations of sexual abuse really works.

As he himself announced earlier this morning, a report has come to the archdiocese alleging abuse from over forty-five years ago by the now retired Archbishop of Washington, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who, at the time of the reported offense was a priest here in the Archdiocese of New York. This was the first such report of a violation of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People ever made against him of which the archdiocese was aware.

Last weekend’s newspapers, and reports on TV and radio, understandably had a lot on dads, since Sunday was Fathers’ Day.

Father Raymond J. de Souza takes a look at the latest court ruling in the matter of Archbishop Fulton Sheen.

The Attorney General, seeking to justify the Administration's immoral policies of separating children from their parents at the border, has misused Scripture to argue that we must obey the law and our rulers without regard to the justice of that law. All human law must conform to God's or else it is not valid and cannot be obeyed.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of New York, appeared on CNN with Chris Cuomo to discuss the separating of children from their parents at the border.

After careful review, the Trustees of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, which has responsibility to oversee the administration of both the Cathedral and archdiocesan cemeteries, believe that the recent court case concerning the earthly remains of Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was again incorrectly decided, and will seek an appeal of that decision along with a stay on moving the remains while the appellate court considers the case.

The government's latest policies at the border include separating children from their parents, refusing asylum to victims of domestic and gang violence, and mass trials. These policies are cruel and shameful and must be ended.

The recent suicides of celebrities has forced our nation to realize that there is a genuine public health crisis about suicide, which is the 10th leading cause of death and has been skyrocketing. This is no time to be thinking about legalizing assisted suicide, which would make the crisis even worse.

The Trustees of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, along with the entire Archdiocese of New York, have long prayed for and looked forward to the Beatification and Canonization of Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.  The Diocese of Peoria has done the Church a great service in advancing the Cause thus far.

The Sheen Center for Thought & Culture’s second annual "Sheen Center Theater Festival of Catholic Playwrights" opens Thursday, June 21 and runs through Sunday, June 24 with staged performances by emerging and established Catholic playwrights telling the stories that speak to the heart of our times.

We all wonder about it at one time or another! What’s at the core of the universe? What is at the very foundation of existence? What power makes the world tick?

Maria Giura is a coordinator of religious education at St. Patrick’s Parish on Staten Island. Like so many of our directors, coordinators and catechists, she brings many special gifts to her ministry. Maria has a doctorate in English from Binghamton University, and has been an education administrator and teacher for more than 15 years. A few years ago, she experienced a call to the catechetical ministry in her parish. However, she has one talent that probably not too many of us in can claim. She is a poet.

The Supreme Court ruled today in favor of the baker who declined to bake a cake for a same-sex "wedding" based on his religious beliefs. Although limited to the particular facts of this case, the decision affirmed that religious people are entitled to a fair hearing by a neutral decision-maker, and that overt hostility by government officials to religious belief is still forbidden.
