Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski

As Catholics, we look to Pope Leo XIV for guidance, pastoral care, and spiritual leadership.

In being ever faithful to the Gospel, the Holy Father challenges us to bring the light of our faith in Christ to the world in these trying times.

President Donald Trump's crass comments are hurtful in light of Pope Leo’s clear moral voice in addressing both the horrors and fruitlessness of war with Iran.

“I am disheartened that the President chose to write such disparaging words about the Holy Father. Pope Leo is not his rival; nor is the Pope a politician. He is the Vicar of Christ who speaks from the truth of the Gospel and for the care of souls.” - Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, President, USCCB

The trajectory of future generations depends on us. This Lent, wouldn’t it be beautiful to put intention toward God’s creation in our prayer, our fasting and our almsgiving?

Caring for creation this Lent Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski discusses the Environmental Protection Agency's recent decision and our Catholic duty to protect God's creation.

Welcome to Lent! My St. Louis Review column this week looks at this sacred season as a time to reserve time, energy and space to receive the Lord.

As we prepare for the start of Lent this week, Archbishop Rozanski invites us to think about this season as a time to make room for the Lord — setting aside time, energy, and space in our lives so we can more fully receive Him.

In his Serve the Lord with Gladness column, he reflects on how God is far more concerned with the trajectory of our hearts than keeping a tally of our past sins or good deeds. "There can be no coasting for the good; there need be no despair for the sinner," he says.

Lent is an opportunity for us to examine our choices, intentions, and attitudes as we prepare to welcome Christ more deeply at Easter.
