What does “Catholic” really mean? Fr. Malachy reflects on the true universality of the Church—one that gathers all nations, tongues, and peoples around the Eucharist. From Latin chants to gospel choirs, Vietnamese hymns to Aztec dancers, the beauty of the Catholic Church is not uniformity, but unity in Christ. In the Eucharist, beggars from every background receive one gift: God’s transforming love.
