Can Democrats Reclaim the Christian Moral High Ground? nytimes.com/…magazine/talarico-christian-pastors-… A surprising number of pastors are running as Democrats this year, challenging Americans’ assumptions about politics and faith. By Jia Lynn Yang Sept. 21, 2026, 5:03 a.m. ET When James Talarico, the Texas Democrat running for the Senate, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show this month, he put forward a question that many American millennials may recall from the cloth bracelets that were de rigueur among Christian youth groups in the 1990s. “I often wonder,” Talarico said, “What would Jesus do if he visited the U.S. Senate?” “I think he would tell the senators on the floor, ‘Depart from me,’” Talarico said, quoting Jesus Christ when he describes in the Sermon on the Mount how he will cast out false prophets from his heavenly kingdom. Then Talarico gained more steam. “For I was hungry and you cut my food assistance. I was sick and you kicked me off Medicaid. I was a stranger …More

Robert Boxie: "Every Creed stems from God" (September 10, 2016)
The answer silenced every critic on that street. In a single sentence, a man who looked careless revealed himself to be the most careful parent in the room. It had started simply enough. A father walking home with his young son and their dog. The boy was healthy, legs moving fine. The dog was tucked under the man's arm like a loaf of bread. To a stranger's eye, the math looked wrong. The child walks. The dog rides. That was the picture people saw, and they drew their conclusions fast, the way strangers always do. One woman stopped him. Polite at first, then less so. How could he carry the animal while the little boy worked to keep up? The man looked at her. He looked at his son. Then he explained. The dog had been badly injured the week before. A torn ligament, the vet had said. Three to four weeks of no weight on the leg, or the damage becomes permanent. The dog did not understand this. Left on the ground, she would walk on it anyway, because dogs do not negotiate with pain the way …More
Homily Tuesday, September 22, 2026 Proverbs 21:1-6, 10-13 “All your ways may be straight in your own eyes, but it is the Lord who weighs hearts.” Let us align our thoughts with God’s love, and the path will become straight. Luke 8:19-21 Some people said to Jesus, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside and they wish to see you.” Those who meditate on God’s love, joy, and peace allow the message, the word of God, which is love, to shine forth. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.

SALERNO GATHERS FOR ST. MATTHEW MANNA RITE | SG News Every September, the Italian city of Salerno comes together around one of its most treasured Catholic traditions. On the eve of the Feast of St. Matthew, the Apostle and Evangelist who is patron of the city, clergy and faithful descend into the crypt of Salerno Cathedral for the traditional Rite of the Manna of St. Matthew. On September 20, Archbishop Andrea Bellandi of Salerno-Campagna-Acerno celebrated the solemn evening Mass at the Cathedral. Afterward, a procession carried the reliquary containing the arm of St. Matthew from the Cathedral into the crypt, where the annual manna rite took place beside the Apostle’s tomb. The tradition centers on small amounts of moisture that collect inside the ancient burial structure. Church records explain that the liquid is produced naturally through condensation caused by humidity within the tomb. But for generations of Catholics in Salerno, this “manna” has carried a deeper devotional meaning …More
Die Manna des Apostels und Evangelisten Matthäus Jedes Jahr im September versammelt sich die italienische Stadt Salerno im Rahmen einer ihrer wertvollsten katholischen Traditionen. Am Vorabend des Festes des Heiligen Matthäus, des Apostels und Evangelisten, der Schutzpatron der Stadt ist, steigen Geistliche und Gläubige in die Krypta der Kathedrale von Salerno hinab, um dem traditionellen Manna-Ritus des Heiligen Matthäus beizuwohnen.

Die Tradition konzentriert sich auf kleine Mengen Feuchtigkeit, die sich im Inneren der alten Grabstruktur ansammeln. Aus kirchlichen Aufzeichnungen geht hervor, dass die Flüssigkeit auf natürliche Weise durch Kondensation entsteht, die durch …More
Bishop Strickland about the Traditional Latin Mass and the conciliar church Brothers and Sisters in Christ, For many Catholics, the traditional Roman liturgy is not merely in danger of being taken away. It has already been taken away. Diocesan celebrations have been suppressed, parishes have been forbidden to continue them, and faithful families have been told that the Mass which nourished generations of saints is no longer available to them. Some now drive long distances to find it. Others have no diocesan celebration within reach at all. Where communities such as the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter remain, the faithful are grateful. These priests have sought to preserve the traditional liturgy while maintaining a recognized canonical relationship with Rome. But precisely because they continue to submit to Roman authority, their people still live with the possibility that permissions may be narrowed, communities displaced, or the Mass restricted again. They know that what is permitted …More

How One Man’s Quest for a Musketeer’s Bones Got Him Locked Up nytimes.com/…/europe/wim-dijkman-musketeer-bones-… A secret archaeological dig inside a Dutch church has led to drama worthy of Alexandre Dumas. Did Wim Dijkman really find the bones of the fourth musketeer? We may never know. By Jeanna Smialek Reporting from Maastricht, the Netherlands Published Sept. 13, 2026Updated Sept. 14, 2026 Leer en español Wim Dijkman was in Munich the first time I talked to him, in possibly illicit possession of three possibly ancient bones. The remains — two teeth, one humerus — may or may not belong to what is left of D’Artagnan, the French historical figure upon whom Alexandre Dumas based the main character in “The Three Musketeers.” They are part of a skeleton Mr. Dijkman and his friends unearthed in an old church near Maastricht, in the Netherlands, earlier this year. To the city’s dismay, they did so without permits, and largely in secret: Even church parishioners weren’t fully informed about …More
