Call Me Maybe
Call Me Maybe
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
People can be so annoying. Pretty much everyone in the world has “friends” (or even family) who they never hear from…until they need something. Or there’s the person that every single time you run into them you get the “broken record” run down of everything going wrong in their life. You might see them coming and duck to avoid them, but they find you…oh, they find you…and they don’t take a breath.

Abortion: Ideal for Irresponsible Men!
Abortion: Ideal for Irresponsible Men!
By David R. Myers
In the dialogue about abortion in the US, the pro-life side (of which I am a member and have been all my life) naturally stresses the position that life in the womb is entitled to protection. The pro-abortion side (which prefers the moniker “pro-choice”) stresses that a woman’s right to choose to keep or terminate a pregnancy trumps the right to life of the unborn child.

Parenting a Teen: Lessons in Humility
Parenting a Teen: Lessons in Humility
By Brigid Vacca
Humility is not a virtue that I thought I struggled with. I don't think anyone would say that I brag or try to draw attention to myself. Actually, I thought that I had more of a struggle with the opposite--like many women, I've had low self-esteem for much of my life.

Pro-Life, Pro-Human, Pro-Dignity
By Ross Decker
In February of 1982, I invited Kevin, half in jest, to attend a conference for women with me. To my surprise, he accepted and we went there together. One speaker was a young man, a young college professor who spoke about how important it was for women to have access to "easy" abortions. Kevin, sitting next to me, boiled.

Abortion-The Facts
Abortion-The Facts
By Allison Brown
Abortion is mostly a tabbo subject for many a reasons. Most people don’t want to get involved or caught up in the debate. It is something that a women must deal with since the pro-choice message is it is her choice. Women are afraid of being condemned for their choices. Most women, after an abortion, experience unsettling guilt and remorse, something that isn’t easy to admit to feeling.

Over my pay grade
By De Maria
When does life begin? A few years back, Obama was asked when life began in the womb. His answer was that he didn’t know. He said the question was over his pay grade.

Every Part of the Body of Christ Is Important
Every Part of the Body of Christ Is Important
By Bill Dunn
On the weekend of January 23rd and 24th, the second reading at Mass is from St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. Paul offers a wonderful analogy, comparing the Church—the body of Christ—to a human body. He explains that a “body is not a single part, but many.” Each part has its own important function, and all the parts work together to produce a single, unified, healthy body.

The Real Good Shepherd
The Real Good Shepherd
By Teresa Hurst
I don’t know about you, but “shepherd” was not an option in my high school career aptitude test. That makes sense as, come to think of it, there really aren’t any job openings in metro Detroit for sheep herders. With so little experience I have a misguided view of what a shepherd really is and does. My mind’s eye view is a biblical man in robes with his trusty staff- or perhaps even Little Bo Peep

Ablaze
Ablaze
By Richard Maffeo
So I’m reading again through Revelation and I stopped at the first sentences in chapter three. “‘I know your deeds,” Jesus said to the church at Sardis, “that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die . . ..”

The Alarm Clock and the Monastery
The Alarm Clock and the Monastery
By Sue Hallett
This morning I was ironing a shirt when I thought about St. Benedict. The nuns at the monastery where I go on retreat bow to one another as they begin their chapel services. I always thought that was just one more thing they did, until, years after I began going there, one of them explained that they always used to bow to each other every time they passed in the hall.

The Storeroom of Christ, the Catholic Church
The Storeroom of Christ, the Catholic Church
By De Maria
A storeroom is sort of like a closet. A place where people keep all sorts of stuff that they want or need. Some of it is new, like my new boots that I’ve been wanting to wear, but its been too wet and I don’t want to get them messed up.

Christ is Our Hope for this Extraordinary Year of Mercy
Christ is Our Hope for this Extraordinary Year of Mercy
By Janet Moore
When we become fearful and discouraged, we must remember that Satan was at his strongest when he "killed God". Satan must have laughed when he saw Jesus die on the Cross, and thought in pride that all of humanity and the world had been won for himself. Yet, Satan's 'ultimate victory' in Christ's death, became the everlasting and eternal victory of God - and Satan's eternal and everlasting defeat.

The Sacraments of Healing
The Sacraments of Healing
By Chris Boyer
What is sin, and what is hell? For many, sin is visualized as a heinous act which only bad people commit, while many of the ‘little’ sins committed on a daily basis are not really sins but just good old Catholic guilt meant to keep the pews filled. As far as a visualization of Hell, many (without knowing it) are influenced heavily by Dante’s Inferno, visualizing a fiery pit and endless torture.

Down with authority or down with acting?
Down with authority or down with acting?
By Tony Jesse
Most people tend to think that Jesus doesn’t like authority and that he came to take down the authority of traditional religion. After all look how Jesus treated the Jewish authority of the day – the Pharisees and Scribes. But, let’s look closer at what is going on here in order to see what Jesus is doing.

A Legacy from my Recusant Past
A Legacy from my Recusant Past
By David Torkington
On the day when Pope Benedict first used the Internet ‘to tweet’, he was asked by one of his respondents, how can married people, living such busy lives, find time for prayer? He replied –“By offering everything that is said and done each day to God.” First thoughts on waking each morning he said should be to offer the forthcoming day to him.
