The ‘J' Word Can Get You in Trouble
The ‘J' Word Can Get You in Trouble
By Bill Dunn
In the gospel reading for the weekend of October 24th and 25th, we hear about a Catholic priest in Manhasset, NY, who gave a blessing during a Christmas tree lighting ceremony, and during the blessing he mentioned the word “Jesus.” Immediately, a local politician jumped up and angrily interrupted the priest. The politician grabbed the microphone and, as a stunned crowd looked on, declared,

Authority: Part 2 Doctrine and the Church
Authority: Part 2 Doctrine and the Church
By Kevin Noles
Protestants typically believe that “essential doctrines” are agreed upon by every Christian church. If divisions do appear between Christians, such as on the rapture, then dividing the body of Christ into a new denomination is better than having a public dispute.

Allegories and God
Allegories and God
By Richard Maffeo
(I’ve read and heard from many Christians that the Bible is full of stories and myths. Adam and Eve are only one example. And so I thought of that accusation in light of what the apostles clearly believed.)

Ark of the New Covenant (Rev 11:19-12:1)
By De Maria
I have, in the past, discussed this passage with several of our Reformed brothers and sisters. And they are of the opinion that this verse does not describe the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Once Saved Always Saved
Once Saved Always Saved
By Mike Bugal
When we speak about “Evangelical Christianity” or “Protestant” we need to understand that those are a generic, cover all terms for all non-Catholic churches and denominations that at least subscribe to the basics of the Christian faith. These basics are, among others, the Trinity, the Virgin Birth, the sinless life, death burial and resurrection of the Lord, His ascension and one day return.

Bread - Anybody?
Bread - Anybody?
By Elizabeth Thomas
More thoughts for reflection—By God’s own Words in Scripture we are told that God knew of us before we were conceived in the womb. We are called and chosen! Called or chosen to do what? Is it possible, that we are just to be a piece of bread?

If I have faith, why do I need works?
If I have faith, why do I need works?
By Chris Boyer
Recently, during the visit of the Holy Father to the United States, I came across many social media posts from our Protestant brothers and sisters denouncing the concept of works being important for our salvation. The protests of the dissenters seem to largely center around a passage from the Letter to the Ephesians.

Is He Real?
Is He Real?
By Jean Briese
e. There are many misunderstood beliefs in the Catholic faith. And there are many Catholics who misunderstand their own faith. As one reads the history of our salvation (The Holy Bible, The Word of God), it is easy to see a pattern emerge, a pattern of God’s people who worship and practice and KNOW their faith.

Are Free Markets compatible with Christianity?
Are Free Markets compatible with Christianity?
By Matthew Newsome
I recently had the privilege of attending a talk given by two economists, one Catholic, one Protestant, on the topic of whether free market economies are compatible with Christianity. Pope Francis has criticized the negative aspects of capitalism, and some of these criticisms were addressed during the presentation, including this oft-quoted passage from Evangelii Gaudium.

Are We ‘Childlike' or ‘Childish'?
Are We ‘Childlike' or ‘Childish'?
By Bill Dunn
In the Bible, Jesus told his followers that they must be “childlike.” He called a child over and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3-4).

Fight, Run, Hide or Stand Still?
Fight, Run, Hide or Stand Still?
By Melanie Jean Juneau
The secret to authentic interior freedom goes against every fiber of our being. The answer to every crisis, every threat we will face in our lives on earth, is to stand still and trust. Mind you not to hide, or sit passively but to stand tall, facing threats. Easier said than done.

Knowledge is Power?
Knowledge is Power?
By E.M. Wilson
So as a former educator I am very familiar with the slogan "knowledge is power." It's certainly a popular notion. If you're going to vote and be part of a democratic society then you should be informed and educated.

6 Quick Facts plus one about the authority of Christ and the Church
6 Quick Facts plus one about the authority of Christ and the Church
By De Maria
Many Catholic apologists will tell you that the difference between Protestant and Catholic boils down to one thing, authority. Which authority? Protestants claim to submit to the authority of God in the Bible alone. They claim that the Bible alone contains the Word of God and therefore, it is the only authority to which man can turn today.

Harvesting the Spirit
Harvesting the Spirit
By Joseph P. Thomas
From the beginning of Christ’s reign there have been sayings such as “Let the spirit move you” or “The Spirit works in mysterious ways”. What is this spirit they are referring to? Is this something physical we can touch or is it something out of our own imagination?

As I talked about in the article, “Is the Church the Woman of Revelation 18?” there are many Evangelical Christians that believe that the Catholic Church is anti-Christ and that we Catholics are deceived biblical ignoramuses who pray to idols, pray to the dead and worship Mary.
