The Catholic Thing
The Twin Plights of Religion and of the Humanities
by David G. Bonagura, Jr. But first a note from Robert Royal. The Faith has survived the collapse of whole cultures, indeed whole civilizations. It's not something, however, anyone should want to try again. Which is why at The Catholic Thing, under the canopy of our parent organization, the Faith & Reason Institute, we strive to preserve both our spiritual and cultural heritage. David Bonagura makes the case for this dual approach succinctly today. Personally, I believe that it's only efforts like ours, and by many other actors working towards these common goals, that may save what's left of our...

Taking a Stand to Understand - David Bonagura (10 May, 2024)
Joseph Ratzinger once defined belief as “entrusting oneself to that which has not been made by oneself and never could be made and which precisely in this way supports and makes possible all our making.” In order to do and understand anything, we have to first take a stand on some ground, which is what the Hebrew word amen signifies. David Bonagura joins us.

Jerome's Tears: Letters to Friends in Mourning - David Bonagura(27 November 2023)
The mystery of death strikes at the core of the human soul. We instinctively recoil at the pain of losing loved ones, and as we grapple, we are quick to seek remedies to console ourselves. There is no one better suited to assuage our grief than the translator of the Bible, St. Jerome, who wrote extensively to friends who were suffering the loss of loved ones. We take a look at them with David Bonagura.

"Living out the faith and passing it on is more an action of something that is caught rather than taught," says David G.

In his new article in the Catholic World Report: "Can Catholicism be passed along without Catholic Culture?" Bonagura argues that faith needs to be cultivated by more than "simply" going to Mass. It needs to be passed along through tradition and action. "Fast forward to today when we don't have those things. It's...
