Politicians and Pontius Pilate
Politicians and Pontius Pilate
By Teresa Hurst
I’m not a germaphobe, but I am a mother, and can appreciate the communal health benefits of proper hygiene. Aside from: “sit up straight,” “don’t talk with your mouth full,” and “wipe that look off your face or I’ll do it for you,” I’d wager the survey poll would place, “wash your hands” in the top ten of “Mom’s most frequent commands”.

Ask and ye shall receive: America has got what it has asked for
By Amelia Monroe Carlson

Make America Great--as "One Nation Under God" !
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
“God Bless America” is a familiar catchphrase—a kind of patriotic apothegm, found on postage stamps, rally posters, bumper stickers and even a song title. Add a simple comma and that slogan becomes a prayer: “God, bless America”—Please!

Misplaced compassion
Misplaced compassion
By Faith-Full Writer
According to a CNN article, a child in Belgium recently asked for the right to be euthanized. The law requires the child to ask for it, and requires the parents to consent before any lethal action is taken. (If parents withhold consent, I understand the child's request is denied.)

Power, Women and Mary
Power, Women and Mary
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
I have spent most of my life learning what power is not. Like many perhaps most of women somewhere around my age, those of us growing up during the sixties, I eschewed the notion of living the life of the older women I grew up around- housewives and mothers.

Dive In, to the Deep, Head First!
By Lorrie McNickle
It amazes me how many of us are jeopardizing our salvation, how many of us ‘Catholics” are risking our eternal souls. Some of us are living lives in states of grave sin because we are rationalizing and relativizing what sin is, and isn’t.

Sleepy Scotty Shoemaker
By Michelle Nicholl
Scotty Shoemaker was my brother’s best friend and they pal’d around together all the time. But Scotty, I recall my brother, Alain, telling me, had a paper route and often he'd fall asleep in class, because each day he had to rise real early in the morning to deliver his papers.

The Trinity Revisited
The Trinity Revisited
By Mike Bugal
Just about a year ago I wrote a series of articles for this site on the subject of The Trinity. That series is, of course, still available in my archives here and is much more extensive than this article is intended to be. Part of what motivated this writing was a revisiting of the original, specifically the first one titled “Introduction to the Trinity”.
