Teen Book Review - Mission Libertad
By Leslea Wahl
Mission Libertad is the story of Luisito, a young teenage boy who escapes Communist Cuba in 1979 with his parents. This is such a wonderful book with so many interesting aspects to it.

Is Faith enough when Scandals Confront our Church?
By Ralph Hathaway

The Analogy of Analogies: The Joyful Mysteries of Advent as Symbol of All Human History
By Scott Pauline
As a final argument for the discourse on the ages of the world, one would presumably ask, what in the world do the Joyful Mysteries of the rosary have to do with the beast kings, the days of creation, and all human history?

Are You Afraid of Truth?
Are You Afraid of Truth?
By Lorrie McNickle
There seem to be many of us today that are afraid to speak Truth. We are fearful that the Truth of our Faith might be harsh to some, and it may cause many to turn away from Christ. We are fearful that the Truth might be offensive.

The Parable of the Eight Unclean Spirits and the Eight Kings of the Beast
The Parable of the Eight Unclean Spirits and the Eight Kings of the Beast
By Scott Pauline
A surprising support of our theology can be found in the parable of the unclean spirits in Matthew chapter 12. In this Gospel, an unclean spirit who inhabits a house is cast out, and the house is swept; later, the spirit returns with seven others that are even worse than the original, and the house is subsequently also worse than when it started.

Why must I go to Church? Isn't my being good enough?
By Ralph Hathaway
Many who do not follow the practice of Roman Catholics attending Mass often say, “why is it a sin to miss church services?” We go whenever possible, but a sin to not attend? Glad we’re not in your shoes!
