We’ll always have Homer Simpson with us. The animated bumbler was designed to be the antithesis to the got-it-all-under-control father types like Cliff Huxtable of “The Cosby Show.”

Erika Kidd remembers when, still Protestant, she and her husband were curious about the University of Notre Dame’s famous Grotto, a shrine to Mary modeled after the place she appeared to St. Bernadette Soubirous in 1858 in Lourdes, France.

Modern-day New York City and a fanciful exploration of a world beyond this one intertwine in the Disney Pixar film “Soul.” The protagonist, Joe Gardner, somewhat comically meets an apparently untimely fate.

There is a curious and intriguing passage in the third chapter of St. Paul’s letter to the Romans, which in the context of the missive seems almost tossed-off, but which has proven to be a cornerstone of Catholic moral theology for the past two thousan…
