Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

Maternal and Loving Acumen

Our century demands unrivalled astuteness […]. It is necessary, at all costs, to put an end to the disastrous naivety of supposing that every individual who confusedly outlines a vague and incomplete act of faith is implicitly a Roman and Apostolic Catholic worthy of the utmost trust. This mentality is …

A Mother Who Watches over the Health of Body and Soul

A mother is the person we call on from our earliest childhood, to overcome any difficulty. There is no one who has not experienced trials and complications throughout their life that only a mother’s good heart has been able to understand and resolve. The stories presented in this issue show …

Heavenly Melodies Resounding on Earth What is the ideal music to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child? How do the different nations express, in melody, the grace of Christmas? What songs did Our Lady and St. Joseph sing on that blessed night when Heaven touched earth in the grotto …

A New and Incomparable Outpouring of the Redemption

Every Christian land is a Marian land; there is not a nation redeemed in the Blood of Christ which does not glory in proclaiming Mary its Mother and Patroness. This truth is brought into sharp relief by reflection on the history of France. Devotion to the Mother of God dates …

Fruitfulness in the Apostolate

St. Benedict established a network of Religious Orders that spread good morals throughout Europe. At the base of all this is St. Benedict and, by means of the contemplatives, St. Scholastica. St. Scholastica attracted nuns who did not perform social assistance, did not teach catechism; they did “nothing”. In a …

Lourdes: A Promise
There are certain words that, when spoken, are like a ray of light in the densest darkness, capable in themselves of producing consolation and hope. Lourdes is one of them. When we hear this name, the scene of the candlelight procession, the blessed grotto of Massabielle and its statue, or …

Regarding Subjectivism - A Lesson in Life through St. Catherine of Siena
Let’s begin with a joke and a laugh: well, sort of. One day a man is driving his powerful Maserati on the highway, after a while he turns on the radio, and after choosing the station Isoradio, he is amazed to hear the announcer say with bated breath: “Be especially …

Nineteenth-Century Crusaders
Heroism. A word full of imponderables, bringing together all that is most sublime in human history. It recalls swords that clash on the open field, men who launch themselves into the unknown, crossing chasms, oceans and mountains to write their names in Heaven; geniuses, adventurers, idealists – in short, all …

Pope Marcellus II - Lessons from a Short Pontificate
With the exception of apostolic times, the Holy Church perhaps never lived through a period of such terrible and glorious events as in the 16th century. Among them, the evangelization of the New World and the Counter-Reformation with the Council of Trent constituted a legacy of inestimable value for the …

Countess Matilda of Tuscany - A Virtuous Virgin, a Noble Warrior
In the middle of the 11th century, as one of the most beautiful ceremonies in Christendom took place – the elevation of a prince to the imperial dignity, the crown of which was by election – Europe witnessed something different: Henry III had left the tutelage of his son in …

Gospel Commentary

The Indestructible Chair
13 When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do …

Church and World Events
By the beginning of November 2023, the Way of St. James of Compostela had received more than 438,300 pilgrims, according to local authorities. And this figure, which exceeds that of previous years, does not represent the true total of visitors, since many of them are not registered in the official …

Blessed Elizabeth Canori Mora - Seer of the Tribulations of the Church
“Wretched city, ungrateful people! The justice of God will punish you!” “It seemed to me, therefore, that I saw the whole world in disorder, particularly the city of Rome. […] The sky was covered with a black mist, discharging the most appalling lightning, which incinerated and scorched everywhere: the earth, …

Transfigured on Calvary
“During her last illness” – attests Sister Fabruzzo – “[St. Bakhita] suffered atrocious pain and anguish, without a single complaint, maintaining a serene and cheerful countenance. She said that the suffering caused by illness is more meritorious than any voluntary mortification. […] For me, it continues to remain a mystery …

To Be Threatened or to Threaten?
Much has been said recently about the threats of every kind surrounding the barque of the Holy Church in the increasingly tempestuous waters of this world. They are real, without any doubt. However, little or no mention is made of the threats uttered by the divine lips of the One …

Miracles… Do Happen!
Two old friends sat in a large open window, talking, reading their newspapers and enjoying the last rays of the afternoon sun: “Hey, Jacques, did you see this news item? The big pilgrimage for Lourdes will take off from Nancy next Friday. Many dioceses still have spots available…” “To me …

Mirrors of Jesus Christ
There was never a more terrible and relentless outburst of intolerance against the Catholic Faith than that suffered by the burgeoning Church in Japan. Shortly after the indefatigable St. Francis Xavier arrived with the Good News in the secret empire of the East in 1549, the first odours of sanctity …
