From Leo XIII to Leo XIV: 135 years of Catholic social teaching On May 15, 1891, Pope Leo XIII published a letter addressed to the Catholic bishops of the world, but its subject was the condition of the working class in an industrializing Europe where factory workers labored in brutal conditions, owned nothing, and had no legal recourse. Rerum Novarum — “Of New Things” — defended the Read More… From Leo XIII to Leo XIV: 135 years of Catholic social teaching... 🔗 https://aleteia.org/2026/08/10/from-leo-xiii-to-leo-xiv-130-years-of-catholic-social-teaching/ #Catholic #Aleteia #PopeLeo

Five lesser-known caminos worth walking this autumn Every pilgrimage route began the same way: someone walked somewhere for a reason, others followed, and the path wore itself into the ground. The Camino de Santiago is the most famous example, but it is far from being the only one. Across Europe, routes dedicated to local saints, regional histories, and forgotten traditions crisscross landscapes Read More… Five lesser-known caminos worth walking...... 🔗 https://aleteia.org/2026/08/08/five-lesser-known-caminos-worth-walking-this-autumn/ #Catholic #Aleteia #Saint

The quiet signs of hope left emerging from French wildfires When wildfires tear through a landscape, they leave behind a strange silence. Hillsides that were green only hours before become blackened and unrecognizable. Homes disappear. Familiar landmarks vanish. Even after the flames have been extinguished, people instinctively begin searching the ashes for something that survived. Not because every object left standing is a miracle, or Read More… The q...... 🔗 https://aleteia.org/2026/08/07/the-quiet-signs-of-hope-left-emerging-from-french-wildfires/ #Catholic #Aleteia #Hope

Mary who will welcome Pope Leo might have her most interesting title Pope Leo XIV will visit Uruguay from November 6 to 8 — his first trip to Latin America as pontiff, and the first papal visit to the country since John Paul II went in 1988. His itinerary includes three cities: Montevideo, Paysandú, and Florida. That last stop carries a weight that non-Uruguayans will not recognize.

Leo XIV: Prayer is not a wellness technique Pope Leo XIV returned from his summer break at Castel Gandolfo to resume his weekly general audiences — held this time inside St. Peter’s Basilica, since the Paul VI Hall is currently undergoing renovation and Rome’s August heat made the square impractical. Continuing his catechetical series on the documents of the Second Vatican Council, Leo Read More… Leo XIV: Prayer is not a wellness technique... 🔗 https://aleteia.org/2026/08/06/leo-xiv-prayer-is-not-a-wellness-technique/ #Catholic #Aleteia #PopeLeo

Louis Armstrong’s life and music: Holy Spirit infused Famed for his spirited rendition of “The Saints Come Marching In,” larger-than-life jazz legend Louis Armstrong, nicknamed “Satchmo,” was full of flaws — too fond of things that cut his life short and impacted his married love.

Guadalupe and the Pyramid of the Sun unmasked the glamor of evil When you renew your baptismal promises at Mass, the priest asks: “Do you reject the glamor of evil and refuse to be mastered by sin?” I didn’t know what that meant when I was 17, but I was about to find out — on the Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico a few hours after Read More… Guadalupe and the Pyramid of the Sun unmasked the glamor of evil... 🔗 https://aleteia.org/2026/08/03/guadalupe-and-the-pyramid-of-the-sun-unmasked-the-glamor-of-evil/ #Catholic #Aleteia #Mass

Can someone touched by a miracle still go astray? For more than a decade, doctors, theologians and Vatican officials examined the medical records of a baby born in Rhode Island in 2007.
