In tiny Slovenia, big Catholic things come in a small package...
Multum in parvo is a Latin phrase meaning “a lot in a small package.” I know it well because it’s the motto of the pug breed of dog, and I’ve had pugs since I was in the fifth grade. (I actually dispute that pugs are dogs, because dogs occur in nature while pugs definitely don’t, but that’s for another time.) Having just spent a week in the small central European nation of Slovenia – the entire country has a population of around 2...
About post-Roe politics and Biden’s evolving doctrines on choosing to ‘abort a child’...
Once upon a time, Sen. Joe Biden was almost a pro-life Catholic Democrat. This may be the reason — as journalists frequently note — that he seems uncomfortable saying “abortion” in public remarks. Then again, he may also have private polling numbers on the muddled state of public opinion in which millions of Americans, including lots of Democrats...

Don’t force your kids into the rat race or tech tumble. There are alternatives...
Your children have a thirst within them. They have received from you their whole life, and to a greater or lesser degree, one day recognize their life separate from yours as they gain the maturity that grows only by appropriate independence. I’m talking work, vocation, jobs, career, education, and so on. You love them dearly...
Enthusiasm for abortion is from the depths of Hell...
If you are a person who considers herself pro-choice because she knows a woman in a difficult situation, you are in the majority of those who describe themselves as pro-choice. I suspect we could find a lot of common ground in helping women and families. You’d be heartened by touring the many women’s pregnancy resource centers around the country...

German Synodal Path is “unacceptable,” warns Cardinal Ranjith...
In an extensive video interview with the Register, Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith welcomed Pope Francis’ reform of the Roman Curia, said the German Church’s Synodal Path is unacceptable, and sounded the alarm for his native Sri Lanka currently facing a devastating economic crisis and allegations of criminality at the highest levels of politics...
4 Eucharistic proclamations to help parents convey the faith to their First Communicants...
Every year we encounter an unfortunate sacramental rite of passage. I dare say unfortunate because this is how many parents view or worse understand their child’s reception of the body and blood of Christ in the Holy Eucharist for the very first time. As part of this rite of passage I allude to is also the survival of the dreaded First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion parent meeting...
Do you fear the right thing? A meditation on the story of Chicken Little...
In the wake of the COVID-19 explosion of fear, we do well to begin reflecting on fear. Fear is a complex passion. On the one hand, there are things that we ought to fear such as grave physical and spiritual dangers. The fear of being near the edge of a cliff might well save our life. The fear of serious sin and the punishment we might experience or the offense to God (who loves us) is both appropriate and holy...

3/4" DRIVE TORQUE MULTIPLIER TOOL, geared head, 1000 FT-LBS, USA
Back in my Jesuit high school days, when dinosaurs walked the earth—this was the 1960s—Bob R. was one of my best friends. I haven’t seen Bob in many years, but I still think of him with affection. We were both weird. We were book buddies and debate partners, we took Latin and Greek together, and we shared the experience of reading bits of Catullus and Virgil...
In Roe v. Wade comments, Biden rows without both oars in the water, wades into error...
President Joe Biden’s off-the-cuff remarks have become must-watch TV the way Evil Knievel’s stunts used to be — often with similar results. His impromptu speaking has made the Oval Office like a La Brea tar pit where vowels and consonants go to die. The American people have become used to this, but some days he says something so blatantly wrong and offensive that we must comment...

How parishes can move sacramental formation from forms and classes to relationship and conversion...
A woman who wanted to ask some questions about baptism called her local parish. After she got off the phone, she sent me an email about what happened. The parish worker who answered the phone was blunt and unkind - NO! You can’t have your child baptized without being registered at the parish. There was no way around it. The woman was distraught...
The scandal of Russian Orthodoxy, and our own scandals...
One of the difficulties faced by the Orthodox churches is their territorial character which, considering Christ’s universal mission, does not effectively mirror the ultimate lines of authority established by our Redeemer. That problem is nowhere more evident at present than in the denunciation of the Moscow Patriarch by the Ecumenical Patriarch in Constantinople...

Some of my friends would call my old friend a fascist and some of hers would call me a communist. Not that she’s close to being a fascist or I to being a communist. People aren’t always good at distinctions, and some people like extreme labels. They live to divide people. My friend and I hold very different views of politics and of Church affairs...

One of my students asked me how to live according to the truth. This will perhaps seem strange, but I told her (1) start by asking God and (2) look at how you eat...
Saying ‘goodbye’ to students on the last day of classes holds a rich poignancy. Yesterday, among a number of notable exchanges with my students, one exemplifies why teaching offers reasons for hope in darkening times. At the conclusion of our study of human nature, a young lady approached me and said, “Dr. Cuddeback, I want to live according to the truth we have studied...
