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.

DPPL 125: Ashes Into Lent
One of the signs followed with the most devotion among Catholics in my country is the imposition of ashes. Who would have guessed? Foreheads old and young, wrinkled and complexion-challenged, even non-Catholic foreheads wear a badge of penitence. Is that … Continue reading
