Catholic Information Center added an event.
The Society of Catholic Scientists is an international lay organization founded in June of 2016 to foster fellowship among Catholic scientists and to witness to the harmony of faith and reason.
The Society hopes to answer the call of Pope St. John Paul II that ‘members of the Church who are active scientists’ be of service to those who are attempting to ‘integrate the worlds of science and religion in their own intellectual and spiritual lives.’ The Society will do this thro...ugh annual conferences, symposia and seminars, discussion groups, lectures, and other activities.
In its first year, the SCS grew to 500 members. Nearly a hundred scientists attended its inaugural conference in April, 2017, along with theologians, philosophers, and historians.
The Society also provides opportunities for Catholic undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers in the natural sciences to get to know and interact with more senior colleagues. In this way the Society hopes to provide role models and mentors for young Catholics who are on the way to possible careers in science.
Their core mission is:
To foster fellowship among Catholic scientists.
To witness to the harmony between the vocation of scientist and the life of faith.
To be a forum for reflection upon and discussion of questions concerning the relation of science and the Catholic faith.
To act as a resource for Catholic educators, pastors, and lay people, and for journalists and members of the general public who have questions about the significance of scientific theories and discoveries and about the relation of science and faith.

Reviews:
“A successful spiritual life needs the same discipline that a successful diet or physical training requires. Father Landry’s very helpful book prompts us to develop such a regimen for growth in holiness. It’s hardly a ‘self-help’ book, but a ‘soul-help’ one, reminding us on each page that the real help comes only from the Lord.” — Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York
“From routine tasks to complex projects and special events, if we are going to be successful, we need to have a plan. Father Landry provides us a practical, accessible, and very helpful means of developing a plan for living our faith and growing in holiness.” — Séan Cardinal O’Malley, OFM, Cap., Archbishop of Boston

Has liberalism failed because it has succeeded?
Of the three dominant ideologies of the twentieth century—fascism, communism, and liberalism—only the last remains. This has created a peculiar situation in which liberalism’s proponents tend to forget that it is an ideology and not the natural end-state of human political evolution. As Patrick Deneen argues in this provocative book, liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions: it trumpets equal rights while fostering ...incomparable material inequality; its legitimacy rests on consent, yet it discourages civic commitments in favor of privatism; and in its pursuit of individual autonomy, it has given rise to the most far-reaching, comprehensive state system in human history. Here, Deneen offers an astringent warning that the centripetal forces now at work on our political culture are not superficial flaws but inherent features of a system whose success is generating its own failure.

The vocation of Catholic womanhood can be fully realized only through prayer. Here eleven Catholic women leaders share the secrets of their interior life. They are mothers, wives, widows, single women and grandmothers. They consider themselves the most ordinary of Catholic women persevering to pray and serve in response to God’s calling. We could consider them modern day Esther’s, Anna’s, Magdalene’s, Elizabeth’s, and Mary’s—servants all.
