God vs. Satan; Who is Winning?
God vs. Satan; Who is Winning?
By Lorrie McNickle
There is absolutely no doubt for me that God is in control and has already triumphed in the battle between good and evil. God is pure goodness, light and truth. He reigns over everything in this universe, which he made for and in his Goodness. What I am not absolutely certain about is what team many of us are choosing to play on.

Breaking the Chain Letter
Breaking the Chain Letter
By Dom Perry
"I am The Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall not have other gods beside me." 1.

Pope Francis' Message is Romans 14
Pope Francis' Message is Romans 14
By David Vermont
I, like many people, love Pope Francis. He’s talking a new talk and walking a new walk. But the truth is what he’s saying really isn’t new. It’s more a case of what is old being new again.

Pope St. Evaristus
Pope St. Evaristus
By Debra Booton McCoy
Like the man/God he followed, Evaristus was a Jew, born in Bethlehem. His father, Juda, was of Greek origin, but lived in Bethlehem, only a few miles from the temple in Jerusalem, the goal of all good Jews. Evidently, Juda moved his family from the town, probably just before the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD.

We are saved by faith and works, in a manner of speaking
We are saved by faith and works, in a manner of speaking
By De Maria
Catholic doctrine says: ...we are therefore said to be justified gratuitously, because none of those things that precede justification, whether faith or works, merit the grace of justification. (Trent VI, Chapter VIII) Therefore, it is true, that we are saved by faith and works, but only in a manner of speaking.

The Catholic Teachings On The Angels – Part 5: Why The Angels Remain Loyal To God
The Catholic Teachings On The Angels – Part 5: Why The Angels Remain Loyal To God
By Alex Brittain
Some time at the beginning of time, the angel Lucifer became prideful and envious and fell into sin. This sin led to him rebelling against God and a third of the Angelic Host following him into sin and rebellion (Revelation 12:9-4). It is speculated that God had revealed the Plan of the Incarnation to them during or shortly after the Creation, in which God would become man in the person of Jesus

Welcome All the Fish
Welcome All the Fish
By Erika Wehrly
[Matt 13:47-50] 47 'Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that is cast in the sea and brings in a haul of all kinds of fish. 48 When it is full, the fishermen bring it ashore; then, sitting down, they collect the good ones in baskets and throw away those that are no use. 49 This is how it will be at the end of time: the angels will appear and separate the wicked from the upright,

Are You A Hypocrite for Being Pro-Life and Anti-Birth Control?
Are You A Hypocrite for Being Pro-Life and Anti-Birth Control?
By Arnold Scott
The excellent social commentator Damon Linker at The Week has struck again. He honestly evaluates the recent revelations of Planned Parenthood videos and how some liberals are, ridiculously, instead focusing their outrage on the death of a lion. His August 4 column is worth reading:

Thoughts on Confession
Thoughts on Confession
By Holly Vaughan
Do you ever look back on the last couple of years in your life, and just think "Wow! That all happened so fast!" I haven't been Catholic very long in the grand scheme of things. I converted very recently - Easter 2014 in fact - and it has been a whirlwind of a journey. Going from being a candidate in RCIA in 2013 to being a Catholic Theology student in 2015 can make your head spin a little bit.

Pope Alexander I
Pope Alexander I
By Debra Booton McCoy
Alexander is reckoned the fifth pope after St. Peter. As with many persons from the early period of the Church, little is known about Alexander. The most likely scenario is that he was a Roman, some say named after his father. Legend has it that he was born at Caput Tauri, (“head if the bull”) an area of Rome on Esquilline Hill, one of the seven named hills of Rome.

The Kind of Miracles That No One Ever Hopes For
The Kind of Miracles That No One Ever Hopes For
By Mary Ann Gambill
We want the miracles that include our happy ending, where our overwhelming victory drowns out memory of the soul crushing struggle. We want our idea of what hope and miracles are worthy of to be made material. Hope is not cruel in it being a gift, a grace from God. It is cruel when we assign hope to what is not eternal.

3. What if the Founders Got it Right, Even if They Were Wrong? A closer look at the American Idea
By Teddy Pierce
One of the most popular arguments against the American idea is that the Founders sucked. Nowhere else is this asinine argument made more cliché than in that timeless classic of our age, Dazed and Confused. To quote the severely misguided history teacher, Ginny Stroud, as she addressed the graduating class of 1976
