The typical new American priest today is a 34-year-old cradle Catholic who prays the rosary and attends Adoration, according to a new study.

Elizabeth Dias considers how millennials are "reinventing" the priesthood.

John Allen says Pope Francis is starting to "institutionalise his own charism".

Ruth Graham argues that Francis’s approach to family policy "remains traditionalist in spirit".
