Evicting the Enemy in the Gates (Porn in Church)
Evicting the Enemy in the Gates (Porn in Church)
By Greg Schlueter
Satan's greatest trick is deceiving us into thinking he doesn't exist (C.S. Lewis). Or perhaps greater, to know he does exist, and the ways he's working, but to do nothing about it.

Open to the Lord
Open to the Lord
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
When the famous preacher, George Whitefield, was preaching outdoors to a great throng, a hardened but curious unbeliever watched from atop a near-by tree, while resisting the teaching by keeping his ears plugged with his fingers. A fly lit on his nose, forcing him to remove his finger from one ear to shoo it away, but just in time to hear Whitefield quote Matthew 11:15

The Shadow of God's Plan Part 2
The Shadow of God's Plan Part 2
By Mike Bugal
In Part 1 we looked at the first Covenant that God established with mankind, as well as the promise that He made to Eve of a Messiah. We saw that the Noetic Covenant was basically a one sided Covenant, but the Abrahamic Covenant placed requirement on man to participate in it: circumcision.

Euthanasia: The Catastrophe of Honoring "Non-Life"
By Larry Peterson
Euthanasia is upon us. And, like an insidious, unstoppable virus it spreads and spreads. And it kills. And the true vaccine that can conquer this madness has been rejected by those who embrace this practice. Yes, God is not in that syringe. How far we have come as a civilized people.

All You Have to do is Call
All You Have to do is Call
By Richard Maffeo
The Holy Spirit was speaking to Israel in this text from Isaiah, but how easily applicable His encouragement is to the individual Christian today. “I will never leave you or forsake you,” Jesus promised. “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” He repeated elsewhere in the Gospels.

Bearing the Soul in Confession
Bearing the Soul in Confession
By Tess Shore
The most underused and most unpopular Sacrament is Confession. It is the Sacrament that gives us peace and allows us to bare our soul without having to fear the information will and can be used against us. And somehow, Confession is the one Sacrament that we are the most fearful of as Catholics. Although, I am certain many argue that Anointing of the Sick is the most fearful Sacrament.

According to Scripture, is the Catholic Church infallible?
By De Maria
Let's see if you can follow my logic. Scripture says that the Church teaches the Wisdom of God: Ephesians 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God

Christmas Again? Already!!
Christmas Again? Already!!
By Elizabeth Thomas
Can you believe it? Quickly approaching, is the celebration of the birth of Jesus. In order that we do not become overwhelmed and stressed out in the ‘worldly’ preparations---perhaps it would help us to focus on daily living the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary.

Making Sense Of Suffering - Part 1: What Is Suffering?
By Alex Brittain
Most of the essays that I write and post on my blog THE MODERN AUGUSTINE and elsewhere are written for the residents of an institute for mental disease (IMD) who attend our Knights of the Magisterium Mental Health Ministry services. I am extremely grateful for all of the other readers that I have, which are important to me, but I write most of my material primarily for them.

The Tragedy of Wasted Tragedies
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
I smile every time I hear the clever epigram attributed to Winston Churchill: “If you’re going through hell, keep going!” I presume he meant, don’t get bogged down in that horrific location.

The "Fall" and The season of Fall
By Jennessa Terraccino
Just through east coast living, I have become a bit of an apple connoisseur. Autumn is filled with everything apple: apple pie, apple butter, apple cider, applesauce, and one of my favorites, caramel apples. Have you ever made caramel apples? They are delicious, and they look beautiful too!

Detachment: What Did You Love Most?
Detachment: What Did You Love Most?
By Annie Piekarczyk
The other day in my small women’s group, one of the ladies shared a story with us about a priest who says that God will ask you one question on judgement day. She told us that this priest says that God will ask, “What did you love most in your life? Because whatever it was that you loved most… that’s what you’ll get.”

What Does It Really Mean to "Judge Not"?
By Nicholas LaBanca
So often today, we often hear from people (Christian and non-Christian alike) that Christ taught us not to judge others. We hear this rallying cry all over social media, in group gatherings, and even in our churches. However, there is a common thread to all this... the specific verse is taken completely out of context.
