Imaginative Vision.

Foundations
Traditionalist, Progressive: Sorting Out the Catholic Tradition
During the last many decades, Catholic life has been dominated by the question of tradition: what it is, whether and how it is important, and how it should take its place in the life of faith.
Enrichment
This Week: It has been said that God writes straight with crooked lines. The origins of the Basilica of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows might provide an example of that kind of oblique writing.
Encounter the perennial truths of the faith as they are applied to particular questions of life, education, and professional disciplines.
This recognition that there is something deeper to life than trivialities calls people to stand for something, and hopefully such conviction could eventually rise to the level of being willing to die for something. Until you are willing to die for something, life is not worth living.
