The Fr. Rupnik case: What is wrong with these people?

December 22, 2022 Christopher R. Altieri 80

What if I told you that a man with power of his own and access to more of it serially abused unsuspecting women who had turned to him for various reasons, both professional and personal, […]

Living Advent in an age of functional paganism

November 27, 2022 Christopher R. Altieri 10

Christianity haunts our culture. It appears to us as a phantom presence, pale shimmering and gossamer, which we glimpse from time to time – in places familiar, to make them strange; and in places strange, […]

The Dispatch

The grace of family and thanksgiving in this vale of tears

November 24, 2022 Christopher R. Altieri 2

“If half the things go half as well as they might,” I said to my students, “we’ll be very well off, indeed.” Then I told them: “The problem is that I know too much of […]

“Where does this leave us?”

November 14, 2022 Christopher R. Altieri 21

“Where does this leave us?” That was the question a friend put to me during the week, after news broke of another powerful cardinal in trouble for misbehaving with minors. Cardinal Jean-Pierre Ricard, emeritus of […]

Cardinal sins and spotty Vatican responses

November 9, 2022 Christopher R. Altieri 22

The Vatican communications fiascos continue

September 5, 2022 Christopher R. Altieri 11

There were a couple of Vatican communications fiascos recently. The dust appears to have settled on them – at least, folks appear to have moved on – but they are worth a second look. Consider […]

Analysis

Certain images from the consistory in Rome speak volumes

August 28, 2022 Christopher R. Altieri 19

One ought always to be wary of “world-in-a-nutshell” images, which only with vanishing rarity show what they purport (or are purported) to show. That’s why I didn’t make much of the images from Saturday’s consistory, […]

Analysis

Two consistories and plenty of questions in Rome

August 26, 2022 Christopher R. Altieri 13

All eyes are on Rome and the extraordinary and ordinary consistories of cardinals this weekend – and one gets why – but the doings scheduled to take place in the eternal city on Saturday and […]

The Dispatch

On the extraordinary courage and compassion of Titus Brandsma

July 27, 2022 Christopher R. Altieri 9

“Ink on ink” is this journalist’s most vexing professional pet peeve, but in this case, I’ll make an exception. The exceptional case is that of a Dutch scribbler born to the world Anno Sjoerd Brandsma […]

The Dispatch

What is the end goal of Pope Francis’s governance?

July 12, 2022 Christopher R. Altieri 45

There’s a scene in Brian De Palma’s 1987 classic, The Untouchables, starring Kevin Costner as Elliot Ness, with Sean Connery as Chicago police Sgt. James Malone, which has been on my mind of late. Malone […]
