The Case for Christendom
The Case for Christendom

Echoing Switchfoot
Echoing Switchfoot
By Tony Crescio
Many of us who were coming of age in the early 2000’s remember the alternative rock band from San Diego, Switchfoot. Though having a definite underlying Christian message to share, the band was able to cross-over into the mainstream with hits like Meant to Live and Dare you to Move among others.

Quid est Veritas?
Quid est Veritas?
By Joseph Michael
St. Augustine once alluded to the idea that if you think you can comprehend God, then it isn’t God that you comprehend. God is the Creator; we are his creation. As such, it is not possible for us to fully comprehend our Creator in His entirety.

The Whore of Babylon as Blasphemous, Materialistic Grandeur
The Whore of Babylon as Blasphemous, Materialistic Grandeur
By Scott Pauline
For a time, the godless society prospers. But, eventually, the immorality and wickedness catch up with it. When this happens, the power of the “anti-Decalogue”, manifesting the true nature of sin, tears down the materialistic society through the intrinsic consequences of moral corruption, opens its eyes to its wrongdoing, and leads to its conversion.

How Evangelical Christians Handle Difficult Verses Part 2
By Mike Bugal
In Part 1 we looked at the first 5 verses listed on the meme titled, “10 Biblical Verses That Protestants Cannot Accept (Without Becoming Catholic)”. In this second part, we’ll examine the rest. Bear in mind that the so-called “Protestant” accepts these verses since they supposedly believe in Sola Scriptura. But they allow extra-biblical sources to influence the interpretation.

For All Those Who Mourn... Meditations on Mercy
By Nancy Marie Murray
There is nothing that breaks a parent’s heart like the death of a child. In both readings (1 Kgs 17:17-24; Lk 7:11-17) for June 5th, the 10th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Lord takes compassion on a brokenhearted mother and restores her child to life. God hears the prayers of those who mourn;

The Gifts of our Heavenly Father
The Gifts of our Heavenly Father
By C.L. Killgore
Faith can be a challenge. It doesn’t always come easily and living it, actually putting it into action, takes courage. Years ago, when I started a job with a Catholic diocese here in the U. S., two people offered me some very important insight that would help sustain me through the many trials and challenges I would face not only in that job, but in life.

What Can a relationship with Jesus Do?
What Can a relationship with Jesus Do?
By Kaity Jones
How important is a relationship with Christ? In my opinion extremely. If you asked almost anyone they would agree with that, but what does it mean to be in a relationship with Christ? I have found it means you pursue Him as He pursues you or you allow Him to pursue you.

What to do in a World filled with Chaos
What to do in a World filled with Chaos
By Susan Skinner
The world seems chaotic these days. Hate seems to permeate the air. Social media has enabled us to dehumanize. It reminds me of road rage. We think because we can’t see the person in the car, they are not human, we curse and gesture at them, having no idea of the life in the car.

Garbage In Garbage Out
Garbage In Garbage Out
By Anthony Stine
I have a hard time watching television these days. I don't know if you do or not but when I watch TV it seems that the bulk of what's available is a combination of self worship, pornography, and moral indifference. It doesn't help that much of broadcast television is generally poorly written fare, with the best writing reserved for cable

Why Go?
Why Go?
By Mariel Roersma
We are constantly asking God for things; for more money, for good health, for this, for that, but have you considered that there is one thing that He is asking us. There is just one thing He wants from us; to go to Mass. That is it. It's not something that is very time consuming or hard. It's simple and there are many reasons to go.

The Lord of the Rings is a Catholic story?
The Lord of the Rings is a Catholic story?
By Tony Jesse
I teach the Catholic faith to adults and teens alike. The problem is most of them have been so compromised by the pop culture that they immediately hit the boring button when I explain the Biblical story. However, thanks to author J.R.R. Tolkien’s work in Lord of the Rings there is an alternative way to teach people the Catholic faith.

Sixty years and counting
Sixty years and counting
By Tess Shore
Springtime is a big deal for celebrations and transitions. Priests get ordained, change parishes or celebrate years of service. Springtime also is full of graduations and the tons of parties that go with them. In my own Archdiocese, it seems as if priests are always moving.

Why Does God Permit Evil?
Why Does God Permit Evil?
By Christopher McCarthy
The problem of evil is one which has proven itself a stumbling block to the faith of many Christians in both ancient and contemporary times. One cannot help, in looking out upon the various ills that continually beset humanity, but to question whether the Christian God is in fact “good” at all, at least in the moral sense of the word.
