Congregation of Notre Dame Sr. Susan Kidd doesn’t believe in debate. As the sole campus minister at the secular University of Prince Edward Island, Kidd interacts daily with young adults with a wide variety of beliefs and values, and while she may not always agree with them, the key, she says, is to never start a debate.

  • Read more about The changing Catholic family

Oct. 5, some 250 people (mostly bishops, and only one woman religious) met to begin the third-ever extraordinary synod of bishops. Convened by Pope Francis, the group is spending two weeks exploring the way Catholics around the world view sexuality, marriage and family and what, to borrow the bishops’ language, is causing the “breakdown” of the family. What does it mean that church teachings don't always match up with practice in the 21st century?

  • Read more about Mercy Sr. Margaret Farley talks divorce, remarriage, and Communion

Grace on the Margins - The extraordinary Synod of Bishops on the family has cast a new spotlight on the Roman Catholic church's teachings on divorce and remarriage. According to doctrine, Catholics who divorce and remarry outside of the church are prohibited from receiving the Eucharist. For decades, theologian and ethicist Mercy Sr. Margaret Farley has written about the church's teaching on divorce and remarriage, asking new questions about the nature of commitment and the conditions for release from obligations. She does this work most notably in her books. NCR sat with Farley to discuss these themes and her own take on the possibilities for change in the church's teaching.

  • Read more about Airstrikes on Syria

Three Stats and a Map - On Sept. 10, President Barack Obama authorized airstrikes in Syria in an effort to combat ISIL, the militant Islamist group that has taken over large portions of Iraq and driven Christians from their homes. Many religious leaders, including Marie Dennis, co-president of Pax Christi International, decried military intervention in Syria, hoping instead for a peaceful diplomatic solution.
