about this site
Catholic Sensibility is a personal blog by a Catholic layperson with comments and occasional other writings by Catholics and non-Catholics. We make no particular claims to have the completeness of a Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. It contains opinion, interpretation, and personal musings. That’s it. Nothing official or authoritatively connected to the Magisterium.

Lumen Gentium 36
We turn to an examination of the third quality of the Christian believer: our participation in the royal aspect of Christ’s bestowal upon his disciples. Naturally, this kingly nature is embedded in the Son’s kenosis, or self-emptying sacrifice. Christ, becoming … Continue reading
