Mission Statement
U.S. Catholic puts faith in the context of everyday life, with a strong focus on social justice. For almost 90 years we have been a courageous, forward-thinking forum for discussion among a broad range of voices.
U.S. Catholic believes that Catholicism is a spiritual path that leads to a richer life. We help our readers explore the wisdom of the Catholic faith tradition and apply that faith to the challenges of 21st-century life. We celebrate the vibrance and diversity of contemporary Catholicism and aim to inspire readers with a positive vision of the Catholic faith. We conduct our mission with the conviction that the Catholic Church responds to humanity’s deepest longings and aspirations.
At the same time, U.S. Catholic honestly probes the challenges and choices, controversies and conflicts Catholics encounter in their church, society, and private and public lives. U.S. Catholic does not claim to have all the answers but is committed to voicing and raising the questions American Catholics grapple with as they reflect on and strive to live their faith.
