Pope St Telesphorus
Pope St Telesphorus
By Debra Booton McCoy
St. Telesphorus was a man of Greek origin, born, according to legend, in Terranova de Sibari, in Calabria. This is the toe of the “boot” of Italy. His name, translated from the Greek, means “accomplishing the goal". He may have taken on the name when consecrating himself to God, at the time he was ordained, or maybe later. He is said to have served as bishop of Rome...

The Christian Paradox
The Christian Paradox
By Faith Flaherty
It's a kind of paradox to love the sinner but not the sin. I minister inside a men's prison and when I sit and talk with them, I love them all. Of course I don't love what they've done; I don't even want to imagine it. I separate the two.

Nothing to Fear from God
Nothing to Fear from God
By Richard Maffeo
I posted a video to one of my online social network sites which suggested 9-11-01 was part of God’s judgment on America because of its many sins. One reader took great umbrage with that idea. He believes 9-11 was simply the sinful act of “misguided” men, and is unwilling to believe God would permit all those innocent people to die because of the nation’s sins.

Apps for the Mass
Apps for the Mass
By De Maria
How many of you use your smartphones and tablets to keep up with the Mass? Not very many, huh. Yeah, I’m usually the only one using mine at the Parishes I attend. Although, recently, my wife has been using hers in daily Mass. I was surprised, because I’ve been suggesting it for years and she always shrugged me off.

A present day martyr
A present day martyr
By Tess Shore
Sometimes it can be difficult to relate to the Saints. We think of a saint as a person who lived during Jesus' time or centuries before we were even born. While reading the list of daily saints for August 13, the name of Blessed Father Jakob Gapp came across my screen. The name had me intrigued, but more importantly, as I read the blog I could relate to someone on the path to Sainthood.

Recently, it was announced that a well-known former pitchman for an American chain restaurant, famous for its sandwiches, would be pleading guilty to possessing child pornography and, worse, even engaging in sexual contact with minors (teenagers).

Hello, Fellow Missionaries!
Hello, Fellow Missionaries!
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
His voice boomed out into the church, waking me up from the torpor resulting from a seven hour drive from Southern California back home that had begun at three yesterday morning. "Good Afternoon, Fellow Missionaries!"

Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, I didn't like the Mass
Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, I didn't like the Mass
By De Maria
In the last article, I revealed how, one of the reasons that I left the Catholic Church is because I didn't like to kneel and pray. It seemed excruciating torture to me. And it was forced upon me by my parents, especially my grandmother, whenever she prayed. Therefore, I learned, at a very young age, to despise and avoid prayer at all costs.

Atheists' Objections to Evidence for God's Existence, Part 4
Atheists' Objections to Evidence for God's Existence, Part 4
By Bob Hunt
When atheists claim that there’s no evidence for God, they almost always mean that there’s no scientific evidence for God’s existence. By this is usually meant that there’s no evidence of God’s existence that can be tested or measured according to the scientific method.

Friday penance: donuts?
Friday penance: donuts?
By Faith-Full Writer
It was Friday, the last day of my first week at work in my new job. It hadn't been a rough week. Some training, some getting to know people, building a reputation as someone who can do good work. Still, though, I was ready for the weekend.

Gossip Is and Isn't
Gossip Is and Isn't
By Faith Flaherty
Gossip is bad; that's what everyone seems to say. I beg to differ. There was a time when I was in emotional angst for four years because of what a certain person did to me. Four years! Then one day in conversation I overhead a piece of juicy gossip that blew those four years of angst to dust.

II Tim 3:16 and Sola Scriptura
II Tim 3:16 and Sola Scriptura
By De Maria
Before I begin, I’d like to thank those who are participating in the comments on the article, “Jesus Christ established the Catholic Church as described in the New Testament”. This subject was brought up in those comments and let me explain something to you, the epistle known as the 2nd Letter of St. Paul to St. Timothy (2 Tim for short), has nothing to do with Sola Scriptura.

Calling All Prodigals
Calling All Prodigals
By Erika Wehrly
Lately the story of the Prodigal Son has been on my mind because several news songs about it have been playing on the Christian radio station I like to listen to. [Luke 15:11-32] In the story the youngest son demands his inheritance money from his father before his father has passed away. Then he leaves his home and wastes all of the money on women, drinking, and all kinds of "debauchery,"

Don't Forget Those Traveling Prayers!
Don't Forget Those Traveling Prayers!
By Elizabeth Thomas
When the children were young and we traveled to see the folks or go on vacations, we always started out the journey with a prayer, our traveling prayer that went something like this. “Father, we ask that You go before us and surround us with Your Love and Angels. Protect us from any breakdown, flat tires, bad traffic, bad weather, any delays, or evil and bring us home safely. Thank You God

Simple but meaningful
Simple but meaningful
By Mariel Roersma
There is a quote that I love that says, "Nothing proves that you love someone more than mentioning them in your prayers." Most people, me included don't think much about praying for others. It's something that comes naturally, and something we just do. But really, it's quite meaningful.
