CatholicReview insists on a civil and respectful dialogue on our website and social media platforms. From politics to liturgy, American Catholics are divided on many issues, but we aim to create space online where all perspectives are welcome. It is our hope that all visitors contribute their views and that no one person or group dominates the conversation. In order to maintain an open but still welcoming forum for debate, we ask that visitors regulate themselves by these three simple rules. Should the editors determine that a comment violates these rules, the comment will be deleted. All comments on CatholicReview and our social media platforms should be:
1. Charitable: Personal attacks on writers, public figures/the subject of a story, and fellow commenters will not be tolerated. This includes doubting somebody's faith.
2. On topic: Editors may determine when a conversation has strayed too far from the original post.
3. Brief: Make your point concisely on our site. Comments will not be removed simply because they express opinions in disagreement with the Catholic Review or the Archdiocese of Baltimore. However, comments that may be deleted include those that contain:
- Vulgar language
- Personal attacks/inflammatory remarks against a person or group
- Content/comments off topic
- Spam
- Links to sites that contain offensive material or attack a person
- Promotion of services, products, political organizations/agendas
- Information that is factually incorrect
Comments left by others on this page do not necessarily reflect the views of the Catholic Review or archbalt.org

It would have been fun to witness, but we weren’t too disappointed. Seeing the cloud from a rocket launch all the way in Maryland would have been a bonus, but we will see something else special in the sky another day. It just didn’t happen for us today. https://catholicreview.org/what-we-see-in-the-sky/ Open Window at The Catholic Review

Whatever you see today, I hope you witness glimpses of beauty and love, kindness and mercy, healing and understanding, possibility and hope.

Haitian Catholics in Philadelphia are marking a half century of faith and fellowship, amid Trump administration crackdowns on immigration, uncertainty about current deportation protections and ongoing gang violence in Haiti.

“It’s 50 years of determination, 50 years of challenge, 50 years of faith,” said Father Eugène Almonor, an Oblate of Mary Immaculate and chaplain of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s Haitian Catholic Community.

Father Almonor spoke with OSV News ahead of an Oct. 17 Mass honoring the community’s golden anniversary at St. William Parish in Northeast Philadelphia, home to one of two “branches” — north and west — of the archdiocese’s Haitian Catholics.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Jane Austen property that hasn't been brought to the big screen in decades must be in want of a fresh adaptation. And so we get director Georgia Oakley's lyrical and often amusing "Sense and Sensibility" (Focus).
