Get The Facts!
By Lorrie McNickle
I recently had an article post on this website. One of the comments it elicited I found particularly interesting, not because of the content, but because this particular poster didn’t even get past the third paragraph before, in her own words “she had to stop”. Then she felt compelled to emotionally respond with her opinion, before she even read the whole piece.

On Being a Pilgrim: Part Two, Traveling with Kids
On Being a Pilgrim: Part Two, Traveling with Kids
By The Prayerful Pilgrim
God has blessed us with five little ones with whom we make our travels. Ultimately, much of my desire to go on pilgrimage is to instill this practice in them. Sometimes our journey is specific to a holy place and sometimes it happens along another journey. Recognizing that God is with you wherever you roam is the most important lesson.

Joy
Joy
By Mike Bugal
In the article “The Orans Posture is NOT the Problem" that I recently wrote, I addressed this subject a little, but I want to go into more depth on it here. I understand that part of the fear of emotion comes from the desire to distinguish Catholicism from Protestantism and all things Protestant.

Catholicism: The Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End
By Dan Goddu
Religious pluralism, that is the principle of allowing a peoples with different religious beliefs, without penalty or favoritism from its government, to coexist in a civil society, is a principle that honors each and everyone's will to their own religious beliefs. However, theologically, there is no such thing as religious pluralism.

On Being a Pilgrim: Part One, First Steps
On Being a Pilgrim: Part One, First Steps
By The Prayerful Pilgrim
A pilgrim can mean different things to different people. You can hop on one of the big, package pilgrimage tours that most dioceses offer and although I’ve never been on one, I’m certain you will be better for having gone. Perhaps, like us, your current situation won’t allow you to partake in such endeavors.

The Orans Posture is NOT the Problem
The Orans Posture is NOT the Problem
By Mike Bugal
Recently in this blog an article appeared called “The Faithful Are NOT To Use the Orans Posture During the Our Father” . The article brought up a favorite whipping boy of the Radical, Reactionary Traditionalists, namely the positioning of hands by the laity during the “Our Father”.

To Fear or Not To Fear? That Is the Question
To Fear or Not To Fear? That Is the Question
By Bill Dunn
The Bible clearly says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Psalm 111:10). The Bible also says, “Fear not…I am your God” (Isaiah 41:10). Um, wait a minute. The Bible says we are supposed to have fear, and it also says we are NOT supposed to have fear?

We didn't go
We didn't go
By The Prayerful Pilgrim
During the March for Life in Washington, D.C., my family, like all the years we've been a family, was absent. I can honestly say I've never felt called to go, and for us at this moment, it's the right decision. If and when the time comes, we will certainly join with the thousands of other pilgrims and raise our voices in this yearly tribute.

The Resolution to end all Resolutions
The Resolution to end all Resolutions
By David Torkington
A hermit I know used to say, “When you stop falling you will be in heaven, but when you stop getting up, you will be in hell.” The fact of the matter is, we all fall. The secret of spiritual growth is how long we take to get up again. St Francis of Assisi used to say that the difference between a saint and a sinner is not that the saint does not fall, but the speed with which the saint gets up ag

The Church and the Lodge--Freemasonry and Catholics
By Rob Agnelli
With all of the tenacity of Sherman’s March to the Sea, all traces of the Confederacy in the United States are being wiped out. Flags are being removed from state capitol buildings, statues are being torn down and there has even been a call to rename the Dixie Classic Fair. There is however one confederate monument that will survive the scorched earth policy.

A Short History of the Bible
A Short History of the Bible
By Ken Litchfield
The Bible is the collection of books that the Catholic Church decided could be read at Mass. It is a collection of books written by different authors with different writing styles over thousands of years for different audiences. It is not a manual on how to run a religion or build a church. Those things already existed before the Bible was assembled
