South Bend, Ind., Sep 15, 2016 / 04:19 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- The 2016 presidential elections are particularly bad in the eyes of Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Philadelphia. He says they show the failures of American society and the need for Christians to be a different people.In the 50 years he has voted, the archbishop said, “the major parties have never, at the same time, offered two such deeply flawed presidential candidates. The 1972 Nixon/McGovern race comes close. But 2016 wins the crown.”“Only God knows the human heart, so I presume that both major candidates for the White House this year intend well and have a reasonable level of personal decency behind their public images. But I also believe that each candidate is very bad news for our country, though in different ways,” he said at the University of Notre Dame on Thursday.“One candidate, in the view of a lot of people, is a belligerent demagogue with an impulse control problem. And the o...
Washington D.C., Sep 15, 2016 / 05:33 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Centuries-old relics and artifacts of St. Thomas More will be coming to the U.S. for the first time in an exhibit that curators hope will evangelize today’s faithful.The exhibit “celebrates a powerful and eloquent example of Christian discipleship,” said Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, which co-sponsored the exhibit.“In an era when many people look to secular authorities for inspiration and guidance on what is right and just, Thomas More’s example underscores the necessity of living our lives according to the dictates of a well-formed conscience,” he continued.“God’s Servant First: The Life and Legacy of Thomas More” will be open to the public at the St. John Paul II National Shrine in Washington, D.C. from Sept. 16, 2016 through March 31, 2017.The title is taken from what are believed to be St. Thomas More’s last words before he was behead...
Vatican City, Sep 15, 2016 / 05:35 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Pope Francis has issued new changes to canon law that modify Latin Church code with an eye towards clarifying ministry to Eastern Catholics.The Pope cited concern for harmony between the different codes. The name of the Pope’s apostolic letter, “De Concordia inter Codices,” in fact means “Concerning harmony between laws.” It is dated May 31 and was released Sept. 15.The changes concern topics like baptism, marriage, and change of ecclesiastical rite.The Pope said the changes were motivated by the presence of many Eastern Catholics in predominantly Latin Catholic regions. This creates many pastoral and juridical questions, he said, according to Vatican News.Eastern Catholics are obliged to observe their rite wherever they are. In these regions, there must be a correct balance between the protection of the rights of the Eastern Catholic minority and the historical canonical tradition of the Latin Cat...

A saint wrote the recipe."Itis attributed to St. Hildegard," explained Sister Jean Marie Ballard, managerof the bakery. "She says, if you eat three to five of these cookies on a dailybasis, it creates a cheerful countenance, lightens a heavy heart and reducesthe effects of aging."St.Hildegard of Bingen was a Benedictine abbess born in Germany at the end of the 11thcentury.
