On Nativities
On Nativities
By Gabriel Garcia Costacurta
It is finally that time of the year. Christmas is here, and with it, we can see all the houses lit up with Christmas lights; Santa Clauses all over the city posed for pictures with kids; all the TV channels are airing Christmas movies; most of the articles you read here in Catholic365 are about it too.

Pray For Planned Parenthood Spokesperson Lena Dunham Who Said, "I Would Punch Ignorant Pro-Lifers in the Face!"
Pray For Planned Parenthood Spokesperson Lena Dunham Who Said, "I Would Punch Ignorant Pro-Lifers in the Face!"
By Ralph Zuranski
We need to pray for all those involved in abortion. Our prayers are their only hope for repentance and salvation. Demonic forces are always looking for souls to destroy. Abortion is one of the greatest evils against innocent babies and God.

Evidence for the Existence of God from Experience, Part 16: Miracles, Continued

Communicate with God
By Norma Elaine Robertson

Managing Disappointment
Managing Disappointment
By Sandy Lowery
I got some pretty upsetting news last week. I won't be able to have my legal (but non-canonical) marriage blessed as soon as we had hoped. When my mother died, my teenaged brother went to live with our father, and he wasn't thriving. He then came to live with us, and there were a couple of bumps in the road in the past that came out during the Marriage Prep process.

Discord Among the Brethren
Discord Among the Brethren
By Mike Bugal
In a previous series we talked about the Protestant Revolt and the fruit that that movement has produced among its adherents and in the world. That seed of discord that was sown in 1517 now has deep roots and has borne bitter fruit. I wish that the Protestant Revolt was the extent of the problem, but that would be dishonest.

50 Shades of Hades
50 Shades of Hades
By Richard Maffeo
We will always reap what we sow: corruption or beauty, heartache or hope, emptiness or joy, death or life. This law of the spirit is as absolute as the law of gravity. Mock either one, and we lose.

Why Do Protestants Celebrate Christmas?
Why Do Protestants Celebrate Christmas?

Funky Christmas
Funky Christmas
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
When we talk about Christmas, or sing about it in carols, we always use peaceful and charming words—idyllic, really—to tell the story about how Jesus came into the world. It’s nice how our memory heals the reality of a situation

Remember Christmas Well
Remember Christmas Well
By Dean P. Johnson
When the last gift has been unwrapped with ribbons, bows and shredded paper strewn across the living room floor and the kids have identified their favorite new toy, I’ve taken to the habit of stopping them in mid play and making a statement: “We have been blessed with a wonderful Christmas. Remember this Christmas well, because not all Christmases may be this nice.”

Two Teenagers, A Child and Christmas--a Perfect Mix
Two Teenagers, A Child and Christmas--a Perfect Mix
By Larry Peterson
If it were two thousand years ago and you lived in Nazareth you might notice a young man packing items on a donkey in preparation for a trip. Early the next morning you see this fellow, with his pregnant teenage wife sitting on the back of the burro, heading down the road. They are in compliance with the law of the day.

Why We Need Sacred Tradition
Why We Need Sacred Tradition
By Mike Bugal
