Rational Relations
By Faith-Full Writer
A recent edition of Faith! Magazine had a statistic in it – something like 61% of Catholic people support same-sex marriage. To many, I think it seems like a civil rights issue. “I have the right to be married to the person I love; why should the government restrict that right to others?”

A Snob in the Pew
A Snob in the Pew
By Chick Todd
Beloved, I must confess something to you. I AM A SNOB! I play favorites. I look down my colossal nose at people who say further when they mean farther, or tell me "It's a mute point" instead of "It's a moot point."

Partly Human Most of the Time
Partly Human Most of the Time
By Loretta Myler
What does it mean to be fully human? When I was growing up I learned that it was to be completely independent and in control. I tried controlling myself with limited success. I tried controlling my surrounding with less success and I tried to control others with obvious disastrous results.

The Seven Signposts on the Highway to Hell, Part II
By Mark Connolly
It would be nice if the road to Hell were clearly marked with something like "Hell, This Way." If only it were that obvious. But, it's not that obvious, is it.

What Is The Church?
What Is The Church?
By Tony Thomas
Most of us by now understand “church” as a “people”, and not a “building”; further clarified: The Church is “God's” people. I've known this for some time. I’d even heard that it meant more specifically, “those who are called”; equating “church” with “called”. With that understanding, I thought I was a super theological scholar.

Using the Holy Spirit's Gifts
Using the Holy Spirit's Gifts
By Debra Booton McCoy
Pentecost, the anniversary of the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles, is also seen as the birthday of the Church. Happy birthday to all Christians! What do you see as the Spirit’s influence on you? From the catechism, I learned that the Holy Spirit bestows different gifts on all of us.

4 Ways We Pick Our Poison in Media
4 Ways We Pick Our Poison in Media
By Erin Franco
When it comes to books, movies and television, many of us have had our guilty pleasures at one time or another. I sure have. There comes a point though when we can't reconcile consuming junk and then turning around and putting out goodness. There's comes a point when God answers our prayer to "search me O Lord," and He asks us to take a hard look at what we let in to our hearts and minds.

Will Legalizing "Same-Sex Marriage" Legalize the "Three-Parent Family?
Will Legalizing "Same-Sex Marriage" Legalize the "Three-Parent Family?
By Larry Peterson
The Republic of Ireland, once a bastion of Catholicism, now has embraced the distinction of being the first country in the world to approve a constitutional amendment approving of "same-sex marriage". I wrap the phrase in quotation marks because this whole concept is still an illusion.

"Because, I Told You So!"
"Because, I Told You So!"
By Elizabeth Thomas
Now, my children are all grown and out the door—but I remember many were the times when I heard a ‘why?’ and responded---“Because I told you so—now do it.” Rather it was to clean up a room, finish their chores, go out to play, do their homework—it didn’t matter—because I am parent—and know what is best for you—“so, do as you are told.”

We're All Saints
We're All Saints
By Mariel Roersma
Each time we go to Mass, or pray either the Apostle's Creed or the Nicene Creed, we say, "I believe in the Communion of Saints." The Communion of Saints includes Saints on Earth, and in Heaven. I think that when people think of the Saints, they think about those who have been canonized, and are in Heaven. But there are Saints on Earth too. Those of us here in the Body of Christ are Saints.

How to Make Your Devices Safe [Guarding the Souls of Your Family]
By Greg Schlueter
We are parents. Our six children range in age from 17 to 10. Whatever else we do in life, our ultimate measure of success is whether or not they make it to heaven. Nothing is more important.

The Upside Down World of Scouting: How It Affects Family
The Upside Down World of Scouting: How It Affects Family
By Birgit Jones
Today’s world of scouting certainly isn’t that of your parents’ day! The Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA) are in cahoots with abortion giant Planned Parenthood, and there is a push within the Boy Scouts of America (GSA) for openly homosexual leaders. As it is, they already accept openly gay scouts into the fold.

Me, Defiant?
Me, Defiant?
By Elizabeth Thomas
After dealing with illness, incidents, accidents and stumbling around in dry desert type life for a month—and no deliverance int at times. Resistin sight—finally in obedience, I sat down and said, "Okay Lord, what word do you have for me?” Usually I am given a Scripture—but today, a word enters into my mind. “DEFIANT”

Without Him, We Can Do Nothing
Without Him, We Can Do Nothing
By Roberta Lambert
In my usual simplified focus, I always talk about the only thing that matters. It is always about doing everything according to God ways because this is the purpose for our lives here on Earth. When Jesus tells us to remain in Him it is what St. Paul writes: those who keep his commandments remain in him, and He in them.
