Jesus Christ established the Catholic Church as described in the New Testament
Jesus Christ established the Catholic Church as described in the New Testament
By De Maria
One of the things which was brought up by one of the Protestants in that thread is this idea that St. Constantine started the Catholic Church. But, is that true? Why do Protestants make this claim? The short answer, “I don’t know.” The claim is patently false and can be proven directly from the New Testament.

By Sarah Mathew
Many years ago, my husband and I attended a memorial service of a very well-known Anglican Bible scholar and teacher called Derek Prince. He taught with great love for the Word of God and with great insight and authority. In his memorial card, it was written, “He took Jesus at His word.”

Atheists' Objections to Evidence for God's Existence, Part 1
Atheists' Objections to Evidence for God's Existence, Part 1
By Bob Hunt
Is there any evidence for the existence of God? Yes. It’s become common for some atheists to insist that there’s no evidence for God’s existence. They claim that any argument or evidence theists have put forth over the preceding centuries for the existence of God have been sufficiently answered by the advances of human knowledge, especially in the sciences.

We Are A Sleeping Giant (A Modern Look At The Beattitudes)
By Tony Thomas
First of all, the truth of God's Kingdom is opposite that of the world, movies, television, music, your neighbor, your boss, the government, pop-culture in general which are opposed to the truth as defined by The Creator who created us to DEFINE stuff. He's the inventor of science itself.

Analysis of my Conversion - I didn't like to kneel
Analysis of my Conversion - I didn't like to kneel
By De Maria
Kneeling? Yep. Kneeling. I didn't like to kneel. Raise your hand if you can't stand to kneel. In the last, "Analysis of a Conversion", I related how, when I was about 5 years old, my grandmother taught me about the power of the faith of a mustard seed. And how I completely missed the point.

The End is Near: Prepare for the Future
The End is Near: Prepare for the Future
By Caroline Godin
I’ve read so many posts and blogs and other things that proclaim the end or the beginning of the end of the world as we know, or even just of the country as we know it. There’s wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:6), morality slowly disappearing in the name of (false) justice. People are angry at their leaders, leaders are demanding of their people, riots, tragedies, terrorism, prejudice…

The Greatest Treasure of Our Catholic Faith: Holy Communion
The Greatest Treasure of Our Catholic Faith: Holy Communion
By John Horvat
In an age of instant gratification, we are encouraged to forget about the most important things in our lives. Our rushed and hectic schedules demand our attention. We must have everything now, instantly, regardless of the consequences. It must be the latest and greatest, the biggest and the best version; it must be new and improved; updated to 5.0, 6.0 or even 7.0.

Dear Protestant, How Early Are The Early Church Fathers?
Dear Protestant, How Early Are The Early Church Fathers?
By Arnold Scott
The term "Early Church Fathers" is often heard when discussing the history of Christianity. The bishops and theologians who have left us writings and are honored with this title extend for centuries from the time of Christ, even into the 8th century to St. John Damascene, who is often considered to be the last of the Early Church Fathers.

See No Evil: Why the Detroit Satanic Statue Unnerves and Disturbs Me Beyond Reason
By Melanie R. Cameron
I saw the article in America Magazine online, and there was this photo of the actual statue that's been approved for display in Detroit right next to other religious displays like the Ten Commandments. Seriously, just to go back and get the link for this article, I avoided seeing the picture again.

Not Fond Of Jane, BUT...
Not Fond Of Jane, BUT...
By Barbara Golder
It was one of those Internet forwards one gets from good friends exercised about one thing or another. I got it from several sources and it was old news about Jane Fonda. It came on the heels of a particularly meaningful encounter with a priest who is both friend and mentor. It has made them stop and think, differently, in a small but significant way.

Shake Off the Scent of the Red Herring
Shake Off the Scent of the Red Herring
By Jonathan Hayes
Many of us have been there before. You begin an argument with, say, a Protestant, concerning the Eucharist. You try to show him that Jesus, in John 6, reveals that we are to eat his body and drink his blood, while the Protestant attempts to prove that such verses are mere symbolism.

How The Cherubim Witness To Mary's Immaculate Conception
How The Cherubim Witness To Mary's Immaculate Conception
By Sam Entile
The specific defense of the Immaculate Conception I intend to give here is the witness of the cherubim in Scripture. I find it to be a strong signpost pointing to Mary's incompatibility with sin. And since I have not seen this angle presented explicitly, I've elected to review it here.

What is Tough, God Makes Easy
What is Tough, God Makes Easy
By Elizabeth Thomas
Recently I wrote an article about facing health problems and the conflict of staying sick so you can stop working and going on disability—OR—asking God, believing God’s promises –and pray for healing of all that is wearing me down, and causing discomfort in my daily life. Well, as always God gave me the wisdom and the healing needed, and started the healing that will continue.

Forgetting to Allow God In
Forgetting to Allow God In
By Tess Shore
God made us for human contact. God wanted us to have relationships. He wanted us to feel emotions, but more importantly God wanted us to love and made each one of us perfect in the eyes of Him. Yet, it is sad that we, as humans, do not see ourselves perfect through the eyes of God.
