Welcome!

eCatholicism.org is a collection of Internet Resources with up-do-date and current information regarding the Church's interaction with the modern world, politics and society.

Besides being a resource for information, eCatholicism.org will also offer our visitors the ability to proclaim the Good News in new ways, to serve as witnesses to the Saving Power of our God and to re-affirm their identity as faith-filled communities to a world which desperately needs to hear the Gospel message - now more than ever before.

COME TO THE FEAST Over the last few weeks we have been reflecting on parables taught by Jesus immediately after his final entry into Jerusalem before his death. These were directed towards the religious community and leadership of Jerusalem at the time and powerfully illustrate the message of the Gospel and the consequences of failing to recognize it. Each is an easily deciphered allegory, a type of parable in which every detail is given a symbolic meaning. READ MORE

POPE LEO XIV IS THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD Eighty-two years after his father landed at Normandy, the American pope drew 800,000 people to the Champs-Élysées and asked Europe to hold together. Washington left the job open, and Leo took it. SYNODALITY: THE WAY OF THE CHURCH Rooted in the biblical “Way” and lived by the early Church, synodality is not mere procedure but a constitutive attitude of listening, discernment and shared responsibility.   TO PROTECT ELECTIONS AND MIGRANTS, CATHOLICS MUST PRAY, RECALL HISTORY No matter what it is that we have to face, we don't face it alone, and that gives us strength. Because together we make the presence of God even stronger. It is that that will transform the world, transform this country.   ST. FRANCIS’ VISION OF COMMUNITY IS DESPERATELY NEEDED TODAY Francis lived in a tumultuous time not unlike our own. There were political and ecclesiastical tensions in his medieval community, which spilled over at times into violence and a growing distrust of neighbors and strangers alike. 800 years after the death of St. Francis, our hyper-individualistic culture can learn a lot from his spirituality. PILGRIMS RETRACE ST. FRANCIS' FOOTSTEPS TO KINSHIP WITH CREATION There are 2 million pilgrims that come every year to Assisi. And up till now, nobody was telling the story of Laudato Si' in the birthplace of Laudato Si'. THE EUCHARIST SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE OF UNITY Every Sunday, Catholics across the world gather around the same altar. They may hear Scripture proclaimed in different languages, sing different hymns, and worship according to different cultural traditions. This diversity reveals a profound truth about Catholicism: the Church has never been united because everyone spoke the same language. She has been united because she shares the same Lord. ACTIVE PARTICIPATION REVISITED After more than six decades, and despite an abundance of well-intentioned efforts along the way, we can see that many of the (Second Vatican) Council’s stated aims remain largely unfulfilled while entirely new crises have come into the fore. DIGNITY DENIED Dignity is not optional for Catholics. The Catholic tradition proclaims with John Paul II “the Gospel of the dignity of the person” and thus that “every threat to human dignity and life must necessarily be felt in the Church’s very heart.”
