Pope Francis inspires us with his amazing gift of writing about doctrinal issues with a pastor’s love for the people of God. He combines the two with honesty and tenderness and asks the bishops and pastors of the Church to do the same.

Whether we realize it or not, Catholics have been deeply influenced by modernity's failed worldview. While we want to live and share our faith with joy, we struggle to do so because we unwittingly see the cosmos, the human person, and society as machines functioning independently of their Creator and of one another. If we want to bring the life-transforming effects of our faith into the world, we must first find and live real Catholicism, breaking free of the gravitational pull of modernity's worldview.
