Steak and Intimacy
Steak and Intimacy
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
There is a harmful attitudinal trend that has begun to stretch along many generations and is very disconcerting. It has to do with sex and intimacy—so if you’re squeamish, stop reading now (or 9 words ago, depending on how squeamish you are). I’m not sure how we got to where we are with this topic—sure it’s all over books, TV, movies, music, etc.,

Is The U.S. Elevated To Glory And Honor?
Is The U.S. Elevated To Glory And Honor?
By Deacon Vernon Dobelmann
Ezra Stiles, the president of Yale College (1778—1795), gave a major Election Address entitled, “The United States Elevated to Glory and Honor.” This was given before the governor and the General Assembly of Connecticut in May 1783. I can’t help but speculate about the reaction of the listeners when he said, “The United States are under peculiar obligations to become a holy people unto the Lord

Why I'm Still Catholic (And Why Other People Aren't)
Why I'm Still Catholic (And Why Other People Aren't)
By Anabelle Hazard
My grandmother celebrates 100 years of being a Catholic. She will most likely be a Catholic till her last breath as all my other grandparents were. Me? I’m a mere forty-year cradle Catholic. I own that it hasn’t been easy to remain a faithful daughter of the Church, particularly during my turbulent twenties. There was a period I disagreed with, questioned, and criticized Holy Mother Church.

The Latest Craze--Calling on Satan to "Come Out & Play"
The Latest Craze--Calling on Satan to "Come Out & Play"
By Larry Peterson
Satan is the Great Impostor, the King of Lies, the Master of all Hate. He was God's greatest angel and decided that he was even better than God. So, the "created" tried to overwhelm the Creator. Having made this choice he and his followers were cast out of God's world for all eternity. We mortal beings cannot even imagine the hate that fills these fallen spirits.

Hating labels
By Faith-Full Writer
“He’s just a liar.” How many times a day do we hear something like that? Maybe it’s not liar, maybe it’s another label: liberal / conservative. Gay / Homophobe. Feminist / sexist pig. Whatever. Labels surround us every day.

Pope Francis: Building A Powerful Legacy
Pope Francis: Building A Powerful Legacy
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
After being Pope for two years, a look into the legacy Pope Francis is creating is one of change and unity. Contrary to the media reports, however, Pope Francis has not changed doctrine. He has only enhanced the Church and its influence. Additionally, the pope has ensured the poor are not only taken care of, but are treated with respect, dignity, and honor.

Sorting Issues With Sexual Sin

Sexual sin, in all its forms, whether that be premarital intercourse, masturbation, pornography, entertaining impure thoughts etc. is becoming more and more common, especially among the younger generations. It is consuming the minds and bodies of the young, causing them to be so blinded by it that they fail to see many of the unspoken consequences of sexual sin.

Does The Catholic Church Accept Evolution?
Does The Catholic Church Accept Evolution?
By Steven R. Hemler
To summarize my series of articles on evolution, let’s ask: Does the Catholic Church accept the validity of the theory of evolution. The answer to this question is both yes and no. While there has been no binding statement of faith issued by the magisterium on this question, several popes and cardinals have addressed the subject. And, their teachings have several common themes.

Father Knows Best
Father Knows Best
By Sherry Kenner
I consider myself to be one of the lucky ones. My parents will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary next year! I never knew the pains of divorce. I never even thought about it until I married my husband, who came from a divorced home. As children, we take parents for granted. They are just always there. They feed us, clothe us, comfort us…

Seeing With God's Eyes
Seeing With God's Eyes
By Mariel Roersma
As someone who lives life being looked down on, singled out, and often times not thought of as the greatest person, I have to often remind myself who created me, and why. Being a creation, and daughter of God is an important role. It means that no matter how people see me, I'm important and special to God. It also teaches me about the way that we should be viewing others.

A True Radical
A True Radical
By Joseph P. Thomas
Everybody today calls themselves a radical, whether they are from the right, from the left or in between. It is a shame that an authentic true rebel, our lord Jesus Christ, is hardly ever recognized as such. People forget that in the time His teachings about love, tolerance and forgiveness were considered acts of confliction.

When Your Parish Is No Longer Your Home
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
Many different circumstances can lead to the need to leave the parish that was your spiritual home—moving, parishes closing or merging, a change in schedule that makes it impossible to attend Mass or Religious Ed, or whatever your need is. Regardless of how it happens, having to leave your parish family can be profoundly painful.

Dressing for Liturgy – How Dare You Judge ME!
By David R. Myers
This week I engaged in an impromptu and very lively discussion/debate on Facebook which may have been one of the strangest I’ve gotten myself involved in. Yes, it involved religion, and the Catholic religion. It was really heated.
