Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord - The Man With Six Heads

Whether as a hero or a villain, you could say that Talleyrand is a fairytale character… Of princely extraction, born in an “enchanted land”, which was the old France of the Ancien Régime, the kingdom of good taste, etiquette and douceur de vivre,1 Charles-Maurice finds in his story a surprising …

The Sacrament of Confession - Did Jesus Christ Institute Confession?

In proclaiming that man’s life on earth is a struggle (cf. Jb 7:1), Job is only recalling the fierce clash that takes place within each person, in the choice between good and evil. Tainted by sin, human nature is weakened to such an extent that it cannot practise virtue steadily …

Why and How to Confess?

Judas Iscariot, seeing that Jesus had been condemned to death, went to the Temple to dispose of the unlawful money for which he had sold his Master. Arriving there, shrouded in darkness and filled with despair, he said to the chief priests: “I have sinned in betraying innocent blood.” And …

Great conversions – Theodore Ratisbonne, a true son of Israel - From the Synagogue to the Catholic Church

From that moment, Theodore’s life would take a different turn. Leaving the house, he met his brother. “Where are you going?” he asked, clasping his hand. “Close by,” Theodore replied. In fact, it was “close by”… He was about to take just one step to reach his desired destination: one …

Roy Schoeman, the progressive unveiling of the Faith - Pursued by God, Called by Mary

The Gospels tell us that Jesus wept twice. Once, for Lazarus: it was the loss of a loved one; another time over the Holy City: He was losing His own people. The nation for which He had come into the world had rejected Him: “Jerusalem, Jerusalem…” (Lk 13:34). The tears …

The “Methodology” of Prayer - How to Ask and Be Answered?

Various of life’s circumstances could be described as universal, in the sense that all people – rich or poor, educated or illiterate, well-mannered or boorish – inevitably experience them. One of these is the inopportune yet imperative need, at some point, to ask for something or to give something to …

The Strength of Men… and the Weakness of God!

It was late at night in the Corrêa de Oliveira residence. Dona Lucilia, however, was far from retiring. Surrounded by the silence and calm of that advanced hour, her soul turned confidently to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, represented in a small, pious statue on display in the living room, …

Exempt from Original Sin: Why Not? - Considerations on the Predestination of St. Joseph

When God formed Adam from clay, He did not want him to remain alone, but gave him the companionship of Eve; thus, in His “image and likeness […], male and female He created them” (Gn 1:26-27). Likewise, upon conceiving the plan of redemption and endowing His Son with the best …

The Holy Eucharist – “We, though many, are one body”

The Sacrament of the Altar has always been the central object of adoration, honour, and doctrinal explanation of the Holy Church. And it could not be otherwise, for she “draws her life from the Eucharist,”1 in whose species of bread and wine is contained the Real Presence of Christ,2 enlivened …

The Papacy – Guide, Model, and Hope

“No one is a good judge in their own cause,” as the saying goes. Or, to use the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ: “If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true” (Jn 5:31). The reader may have already applied this principle, even unintentionally, or heard it …
