Faith and Culture

In recent years, a growing and increasingly visible tension has run through the heart of the Church: the apparent opposition between so-called “traditionalists” (tradis) and “synodals.” What for some is a legitimate theological debate has, for others, become a real spiritual, cultural, and even emotional fracture within the Body of …

Introduction: a small symbol… with an eternal message If you have ever contemplated an image of the Risen Christ —in paintings, sculptures, or traditional iconography— you have probably noticed a detail that many overlook: a staff crowned with a cross and a white banner. That object is not a mere …

An uncomfortable question… What if I told you that there exists a Bible that is older, larger, and contains books you have never read… yet have been venerated for centuries by real Christians? This is not a conspiracy theory. It is a historical reality: the Ethiopian Bible. And understanding it …

(And why ignoring them doesn’t make you free, but emptier) We live in a time where everything seems optional: relationships, truth, identity… even God. We’ve been taught that belief is a private, almost aesthetic choice—like picking a hobby. But there’s something deeply unsettling: no matter how much we try to …

The Crucified One who teaches us how to die… in order to learn how to live In an age marked by fear of death, the rejection of suffering, and the obsession with prolonging life at any cost, a profoundly countercultural image emerges with force: the Christ of the Good Death, …

Each year, Good Friday breaks into our lives like an uncomfortable mirror. It is not a joyful celebration, nor an empty ritual we can pass through without being touched within. At its core, it is a direct question to the heart: what kind of relationship do we truly have with …

We live in an age that flees from pain. We medicalize it, hide it, distract ourselves from it. Suffering seems like an absurdity that must be eliminated at all costs. And yet, it remains: in illness, in broken relationships, in loneliness, in uncertainty. The great question of modern man is …

A schism that still bleeds in the Body of Christ There are wounds that make no noise… yet never stop hurting.The separation of the Anglicans is not just a distant historical episode: it is a living fracture in the Body of Christ. When we speak about Anglicanism, we are not …

Introduction: When the Gesture Replaces the Heart Every year, thousands of faithful go to church carrying palm branches in their hands. Woven palms, olive branches, even small handcrafted crosses. It is a beautiful gesture, rich in tradition, deeply rooted in Catholic life. But there is an uncomfortable question we must …

An uncomfortable question that demands a clear, faithful, and courageous answer We live in a time where words carry weight, yet are often emptied of meaning. “Zionism,” “Israel,” “chosen people,” “Promised Land”… these are terms loaded with history, pain, politics, and also—above all—theology. That is why this question is not …

We live in a fascinating era—and at the same time, a deeply challenging one for the faith. Never before have we had so many tools to speak about God: social media, blogs, podcasts, videos, newsletters… The message can reach any corner of the world in seconds. But precisely because of …

In an age obsessed with empirical evidence, measurable data, and scientific verification, the question of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ may seem, to many, out of place. How can one prove a unique, unrepeatable event that occurred over two thousand years ago? Is it even possible to speak of “proof” …

In the contemporary world of faith, we often hear terms such as “modernism,” “liberation theology,” or “liberal theology.” Of all these, liberal theology occupies a particular place: it aims to reconcile faith with modern ideas, human reason, and the demands of the contemporary world. However, from the perspective of the …

In a world where everything seems relative, where good and evil are constantly redefined according to prevailing opinion, a fundamental question arises: does objective good exist? Is there a moral truth that does not depend on trends or feelings? The Christian tradition, in profound harmony with classical philosophy, answers clearly: …

We live in a fascinating and dangerous age. An age in which technology advances faster than moral conscience. An age in which the human being not only creates tools… but begins to create “life.” And in the midst of all this, a film from decades ago continues to speak to …

We live in an age marked by haste, superficiality, and fragmented thinking. And yet, the human soul continues to thirst deeply for truth, meaning, and transcendence. In this context, it may seem that metaphysics—that philosophical discipline which reflects on being, cause, and the ultimate foundation of reality—belongs to a distant, …

We live in an age where everything is debated, everything is questioned, and everything is confronted. Social media, forums, family conversations… even faith has, in many cases, become a battlefield. But there is an uncomfortable question every Christian should ask with honesty: Am I using my faith to love… or …

In a fast-paced world dominated by technology, immediacy, and constant noise, speaking about the soul may seem, to some, distant or even irrelevant. And yet, nothing is closer to us than our own soul. It is the most intimate, the deepest part of us—what we truly are. And, surprisingly, one …

A theological and philosophical perspective for the modern person We live in an age marked by uncertainty, visible suffering, and, often, a loss of meaning. Wars, illnesses, injustices, personal tragedies… Faced with all this, a question arises that is as old as humanity itself: Why does evil exist if God …

We live in a paradoxical time: it has never been easier to talk about God… and never more difficult to discern who does so truthfully. Social media, viral videos, podcasts, “evangelization” accounts… everything seems to point to a spiritual awakening. But amid all this noise, an uncomfortable and deeply necessary …

Introduction: When the Heart Seeks the Eternal There are questions that run through the whole history of humanity—questions that never fade with time because they arise from the deepest part of the soul. Who is God? What does it mean that He is eternal? How can He be “Being itself”? …

We live in a time in which many people feel an inner emptiness that is difficult to explain. Despite technological progress, immediate access to information, and an apparent unlimited freedom, the human heart continues to ask: Who am I? What is my purpose? What is the meaning of all this? …

A profound, current, and spiritually illuminating guide We live in an age in which many certainties seem to have vanished. Science advances, technology connects us, yet at the same time an inner restlessness grows: does all this have meaning? Does God truly exist, or is He merely an idea inherited …

We live in an age where everything seems measurable, controllable, and explainable. However, when we step into the realm of God, we encounter a reality that surpasses every human framework. And one of the deepest—and most misunderstood—questions is this: what does it really mean that God is omnipotent? Here we …

We live in a fascinating age. Never before has humanity reached such a level of scientific knowledge, technological advancement, and capacity to explore the universe. Yet, paradoxically, we are also living through a deep crisis of meaning. More and more people repeat with conviction—and sometimes with a certain pride—this phrase: …

In football stadiums, in parliaments, in schools, at civil funerals, or at public ceremonies, we have all experienced that solemn moment when someone announces: “Let us observe a minute of silence.” Then the crowd becomes still.Heads bow.Noise disappears for sixty seconds. It is a respectful gesture.A solemn gesture.A gesture that …

In today’s cultural debates, an expression frequently appears that sounds very respectable: “Judeo-Christian values.” Politicians, journalists, and commentators repeat it constantly. It sounds solid, conciliatory, almost sacred. But when one stops to think about what it actually means, something surprising emerges: it is a relatively recent expression, ambiguous, and often …

In Christian spirituality there is a simple truth that is, at the same time, profoundly mysterious: we never walk alone. From the moment of our birth, the tradition of the Church teaches that God entrusts every soul to a guardian angel, a pure spirit whose mission is to protect us, …

Introduction: A Spiritual Gift That Raises Questions In recent decades it has become common to hear about the so-called “gift of tongues” in Christian environments, especially within certain charismatic movements. Many people have seen or heard prayers consisting of incomprehensible syllables pronounced with spiritual fervor. Some identify it as a …

A testimony of Christian love lived to its ultimate consequences In the history of Christianity there are figures who not only teach with words, but preach with the totality of their lives. Among them stands out Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe, a Franciscan priest who, in the midst of one of …
