    This October, Pope Leo XIV will gather the presidents of the bishops’ conferences, the heads of the Eastern Catholic Churches, and several families in Rome to discuss “the steps to be taken in order to proclaim the Gospel to families today” amid the “rapid changes” affecting the modern family. While the meeting is timed to mark 10 years since Pope Francis’ apostolic exhortation “Amoris Laetitia” (“The Joy of Love”), Leo has added new, timely issues to the docket, including the precipitous declin

    In Book X of his well-known work, “The Confessions,” St. Augustine describes memory as a vast interior palace or storehouse where the self is constituted. It’s through memory that man searches for God and for himself. “O my God, profound, infinite complexity, what a great faculty memory is, how awesome a mystery! It is the mind, and this is nothing other than my very self,” he wrote. For Augustine, one’s identity is bound up with the narrative the soul remembers about itself. I have been thinkin

Every senior was assigned Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” in English class, an ideal reference point for discussing the Church’s moral analysis of biotechnologies dealing with procreation. The novel let me shift the conversation away from individual reproductive rights — which my students had been conditio

    The Beauparlants looked like the kind of Catholic family parishes dream about: six children, weekly Mass-goers, and deeply engaged in their faith. Allison, then 46, and Ted, 50, had been married for 19 years. Not many who knew them would have seen the crisis coming. “I stepped outside of the marriage,” Ted said, “and as a result, it completely broke down.” The couple sought immediate help. As children of divorce and attorneys who litigate them, they knew firsthand the fallout that awaited their

    All at once, the algorithm has discovered that I’m aging. My social media feeds are filled with ads for retinol. YouTube is urging me to look for signs of perimenopause. Even my podcasters are promoting peptides. It’s been an abrupt start to my 40s. The impending doom has followed me offline, too.
