Millennial

Millennial Young Catholics, An Ancient Tradition, A New Century. An online journal and blog by millennial Catholics on religion, politics, and culture.

Millennial, a project of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, is an online journal and blog that provides world-class Catholic opinion and analysis on the most pressing issues of our times in politics, religion, and culture. We aim to move beyond partisan and ideological divisions, bringing together all those who support the global common good and the worth and dignity of the human person. M

illennial aims to amplify the voices of a younger generation and provide insight and analysis on this generation. Thus, we will only feature the writing of Catholic millennials (those born during the pontificate of Pope John Paul II). We believe the millennial voice has often been neglected by other Catholic and secular publications, and we hope to remedy this. We are the new faithful in this ancient tradition, and we take this opportunity to affirm our Holy Father Pope Francis' belief that young Catholics are called to a full participation in the life of the faith, which has been handed down to us from the time of the Apostles. Semper fidelis (always faithful) to the ancient teachings of the Church, we are excited as a new faithful in a new century to articulate an authentic vision of the common good. We pray that our sincere efforts will make this blessed but broken world of ours something all the more blessed still. Submissions:

The millennial experience of both the Church and the world are altogether different than the experiences of our parents’ generation. If you would like to add your voice to this discussion, we encourage you to submit a guest blog post or journal article to our editors:millennialeditor[at]gmail.com

“A civilization where trust of one to another is lost, where there is so much lying and no truth, has no foundation of love. There can’t be love where there is falsehood.”

“They have very different styles. Francis was unscripted, spontaneous. Leo is cautious and careful in the way he speaks and acts. But I think they both view the church as what Francis described as a field hospital that has to tend to the most marginalised, particularly the poor in society.”

Millennial writer Christopher White is quoted in a new article for the Guardian: “It’s been made quite clear in recent weeks that Leo, substantively, is of the same mould as Francis,” said Christop…

“We stand with the mother who crosses borders to feed her children. We stand with the father who labors in silence to build a better future. We stand with the young person who dreams of safety and a better future. Our parishes and schools will not turn away those who seek comfort, and we will not be silent when dignity is denied in the enforcement of the law. It is essential that we respect the dignity of every human being.”
