Las Posadas is an Advent tradition begun by Hispanic Catholics in the 16th century. Las Posadas means “the Inns,” and like a typical novena lasting nine days, the celebration spans the nine days before Christmas. Though it does involve knocking on doors and...
What song is stuck in your head when you are trying to go to sleep for the night? What verses are you singing in the shower? You're probably thinking, “Well, I’m supposed to answer something religious, huh?” But don’t lie. It’s not something you’d hear on a Christian...
Catholic Music Spotlight: The Hillbilly Thomists Wearing their white robes, these men of the Order of Preachers do what friars do, while also composing bluegrass music on instruments including but not limited to banjo, fiddle, accordion, and drum set. All that...

Creating a pro-life culture is not simply putting up posters during pro-life week or sending a few students to the March for Life. Those things are good, but if that’s all you do, it’s like putting a band-aid on an issue that’s literally life or death and saying,...
The Norwegian women’s handball team chose to wear sporty shorts rather than bikini bottoms and having been fined for it, caused world-wide conversation over sexist sports rules and modesty. Then, German women’s gymnastics wore all-over unitards rather than the popular...
