Bishop Strickland's Statement on U.S. Supreme Court Decision
TO THE PRIESTS, DEACONS, CONSECRATED RELIGIOUS, AND CATHOLIC FAITHFUL OF THE DIOCESE OF TYLER, OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF OTHER FAITH TRADITIONS, AND ALL PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL IN THE THIRTY-THREE COUNTIES OF NORTHEAST TEXAS THAT MAKE UP THE DIOCESE OF TYLER:
On the morning of June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States handed down a 5-4 decision establishing the legal right of two individuals of the same sex to legally marry in all 50 states. By doing so, the Court has acted in contradiction to their duty to promote the common good, especially what is good for families. I join with the bishops of the United States in calling this decision a “tragic error.” read more...

SCOTUS, the pro-life movement, and the future
Ever since the fateful court ruling of Obergefell v. Hodges, I have spent a great deal of time thinking about America’s future and the impact this decision will have on the fight for life. My reflections on our nation’s state of moral decay and the fate of the pro-life movement have led me to several conclusions.
To begin with, the Obergefell decision should not have come as a surprise. Any student of American history knows that the courts set themselves up for decisions like this back in 1803 with the ruling of Marbury v. Madison. In that Supreme Court ruling we saw the birth of judicial activism, or in simple language, the ability of the court to effectively create legislation. So in all honesty, from the very birth of our nation, we as a people should have known that the courts would fail us. This has only become more evident with each passing year. read more...

Playing God
As Catholics we understand and believe that God has a plan for each and every one of us. It is essential to have faith and trust in God’s plan, even if we sometimes struggle with not getting exactly what we want in the moment we think we should have it.
Unfortunately, there are those who become frustrated and decide to take matters into their own hands, rather than trust in God’s plan. This was the case with Kim Kardashian when she decided to have her second child. read more...

Dutch village offers humane treatment for dementia patients
A recent news story told about a village in Holland called Hogeway. At first glance Hogeway seems like any normal small community. It has houses, a grocery store, a restaurant, a theatre, a barber shop, as so forth.
People happily stroll through the shops, squares, courtyards, and local park. Hogeway is a clean, orderly community with 152 residents. They all have one thing in common: Severe dementia. read more...
