Faith and Reason

Pope Leo XIV’s recent remarks during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity spark renewed concerns about the Church’s direction. New Vatican appointments and ecumenical statements suggest a shift toward unity based on shared sentiment rather than shared truth. Critics warn that this redefinition weakens Catholic identity, downplays the need for conversion, and confuses the faithful.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Mounting concern follows Pope Leo XIV’s latest Vatican moves, including key appointments to the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue and revelations from a tightly controlled consistory. Critics argue these decisions extend the Francis-era push toward doctrinal ambiguity, ecumenism, and modernist reinterpretations of Pope Leo XIII’s legacy. Bishops tied to liberation theology and women’s ordination are cited as evidence of a rupture with authentic Catholic teaching, especially on abortion and priestly identity. Tensions within the Church are laid bare by diverging global approaches, from pro-LGBT outreach in Sicily to bold orthodoxy in Africa, while Cardinal Roche’s latest document is seen as a clear threat to the Traditional Latin Mass. Glimmers of hope remain in powerful public witnesses: a Catholic athlete giving glory to God, and pro-life activists exposing the child trafficking crisis linked to mass migration.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Cardinal Arthur Roche, head of the Vatican's liturgy office, has reignited fierce debate by doubling down on restrictions against the Traditional Latin Mass. In a controversial intervention, he selectively quoted Quo Primum to argue that the ancient liturgy was merely a temporary concession, directly contradicting Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Critics accuse Roche of promoting a modernist agenda that aims to erase the Church’s liturgical heritage and suppress Catholic tradition. The consistory opening with pro-LGBT Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe only deepened concerns about a coordinated ideological push from the highest levels of the Church. Many now see a deliberate effort to replace doctrinal clarity and liturgical continuity with a new, politically motivated religion. HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Doctrinal confusion grows within the Catholic Church, as discussed in this conversation referencing insights from Professor William Thomas’s recent warnings about modernism and ambiguity from Church leaders. The panel discusses how silence, compromise, and contradictory messaging, especially on issues like sexuality, migration, and ecclesial reform, are eroding trust among the faithful. The conversation critiques the replacement of clear, revealed truth with emotion-driven theology and political convenience, arguing this shift contributes to the unraveling of moral and spiritual coherence. Referencing Venezuela, the hosts examine how Catholic social teaching is often selectively applied, depending on the political climate. The episode calls for renewed moral courage, fidelity to tradition, and resistance to the theological drift reshaping the Church from within.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Is the Catholic Church in America finally finding its spine, or is it just political theater? As the U.S. bishops elect a pro-life champion and overwhelmingly approve a national consecration to the Sacred Heart, we cut through the spin. We expose the eight bishops who voted against the consecration and tackle the Vatican’s alarming move to sideline Our Lady. From the war on altar rails to a global fight over doctrine, we separate the signs of hope from the symptoms of decay in one of the most crucial episodes of Faith & Reason yet.U.S. residents!

A new Vatican document rejecting the Marian titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces” is being called a direct attack on Our Lady and Catholic tradition. Father Charles Murr condemned the move as an ecumenical concession to Protestants that undermines the Church’s own identity. Critics argue this is the latest in a long trend of downplaying devotion to Mary in the name of unity.U.S. residents!
