    As we begin a new year, our Lead story asks the question: What could the Trump presidential victory mean, not only for the US but for Catholics and the Church? Then, ITV trains a spotlight on ten people who have, in different ways, labored with joy for the Kingdom in the midst of a turbulent and often heart-breaking year — our "Top Ten of 2024." Also, in the wake of new Vatican guidelines for assessing "supernatural phenomena," Professor Christine Mugridge takes us to Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina, where she interviews the Pope's man there on its spiritual phenomena. And renowned scholar Anthony Esolen, Ph.D., tells us what it actually means when Jesus says, "I am the Way."
