Ash Wednesday: 40 Days of Opportunities for Strange Correlations
Ash Wednesday: 40 Days of Opportunities for Strange Correlations
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
A few years ago, the priest ended his Ash Wednesday homily with the command to “Have a joyous Lent!” I do not know if anyone else in the crowded church was as astonished as I at this exhortation.

The GIRMS May Be Silent--BUT the BIBLE IS NOT!
The GIRMS May Be Silent--BUT the BIBLE IS NOT!
By Elizabeth Thomas
One more time I am reading an article about the ORANS Posture and shaking my head in disbelief. Really? We are at Mass, the love of Jesus in our hearts, focusing on HIM, His Love, His Messages. Why then do we become very concerned when we see hands up, lips moving at 'inappropriate' times with prayers that ONLY the priest is to say?

Procession of Trinitarian Persons
Procession of Trinitarian Persons
By William Hemsworth
The Trinity is a complex subject, and at times is very misunderstood. Some try to rationalize and fall into error by declaring a type Tritheism, or even Modalism.

Those days are long gone. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, the ongoing clergy sex abuse scandal keeps getting worse and worse.

Am I My Brother's Keeper
By Elizabeth Thomas
A struggle continues within me and today the reading was about Cain struggling with his brother. Jealousy led him to kill, after he had been told by the Lord-- “Why are you so resentful and crestfallen. If you do well, you can hold up your head;

How Can You Still Go to Mass?
By Bill Dunn
Ever since “Clergy Abuse Scandal 2.0” rocked the Catholic Church last summer, it’s been a very difficult time for those of us who remain faithful parishioners. For months now, various family members, neighbors, and co-workers have asked us the same question: “With everything that’s been revealed about clergy sex abuse, how can you still go to Mass?!”

Seek ye First His Kingdom and His Justice
Seek ye First His Kingdom and His Justice
By Stephen Lichtenwalner
Ever since the reformation we've seen a large increase in the misunderstanding of God's Justice and Mercy; or rather, we have forgotten Justice. This has caused a rift within The Church and its given rise to some rather troublesome ideas; mainly ‘unconditional’ forgiveness.
