RE: The Synod: The Catholic Church is the "Bride" of Christ and the Holy Spirit has Her Back; NO Problem
By Larry Peterson
It is quite apparent to me that the 2014 Vatican Synod on the Family has been hijacked by the mainstream media and press. (Maybe we should call it the Secular Media Synod). Reports of Synod actions are flying out from the keyboards about all sorts of things, and none of these keyboards are privy to what any of the final Synod results will say.

The Synod on the Family, the Francis Effect and the Timelessness of the Catholic Church
The Synod on the Family, the Francis Effect and the Timelessness of the Catholic Church
By David Vermont
All Christian eyes turn to Rome as approximately 200 Bishops meet for the Synod on the Family. The secular world hopes that Pope Francis, who seeks a kinder, gentler, more loving, more merciful Church, will change Catholic teaching and come around to their “more enlightened” way of thinking.

Traits of a Perfect Parish Priest
Traits of a Perfect Parish Priest
By Bill Dunn
The other day I was talking with my friend, Father McGillicuddy, the pastor of a local parish. He likes to confide in me, because he knows I’ll never tell anyone what he shared with me—unless, of course, I can’t think of anything to write about in my weekly essay. And since I have writer’s block at the moment, all I can say is: sorry, Father, I hope none of your parishioners are reading this.

The Trinity and the Family
The Trinity and the Family
By Susan Skinner
I used to teach an RCIA class for children at my former parish. One day a child, maybe 11 or 12 years old, asked about the quote in the bible that says, "Then God said: Let us make human beings in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the tame animals, all the wild animals, and all the creatures that crawl on the earth." - Genesis 1

A Different Love Story: Remembering "The Prison Angel", Mother Antonia Brenner
A Different Love Story: Remembering "The Prison Angel", Mother Antonia Brenner
By Larry Peterson
This is a love story. No, it is not about romantic love. Rather, it is about the love of Christ exploding in the soul of a woman who took her God given gift and did her best to shower it upon some of the meanest and worst criminals in Mexico.

A Modern Good Samaritan
A Modern Good Samaritan
By Carol Ann Chybowski
The outbreaks of Enterovirus D68 and Ebola have all of us worried. They are deadly, and we don’t seem to have a handle on how to cure them or stop their spread. It brings back so many memories of the early days of the AIDS epidemic in the late 80’s and early 90’s.

Struck by the Splinters of the Cross
Struck by the Splinters of the Cross
By Susan Skinner
My story starts with my ancestry. My grandmother to be exact. When my Grandmother was in her 60’s she found out she was adopted. Her mother, the woman who raised her, never told her she was adopted and the father she thought died in a war, may never have actually existed.

Refuting Atheists
Refuting Atheists
By Ray Sullivan
We now live in a world that is definitely NOT "live and let live" when it comes to religious beliefs in America. Thanks to the media megaphone, atheists are coming out of the closet to not only proclaim their blindness, but to also ensure that stupid Christians are put in their place and/or enlightened to their false belief that "there is no God."

The Science of Religion: God's Blessed Hologram
The Science of Religion: God's Blessed Hologram
By Robert Italia
The faithful may bristle at the thought of using science to illustrate and defend religious tenets, but as the following column argues, science and religion are not the foes many perceive. If anything, secularism has co-opted science in an (unwitting?) attempt to disconnect man from God. So here’s CRISTOFORI’S DREAM, my novel’s theory of everything. Perhaps there's a hint of truth in all of this

A Kiss Should Mean Something: The Proliferation of Contraception and Its Societal Effects
A Kiss Should Mean Something: The Proliferation of Contraception and Its Societal Effects
By Jason Izolt, M.Ed., M.A.T.
I was recently listening to an episode of Right Here Right Now on EWTN Radio. The host, Patrick Madrid, had a special guest, Msgr. Charles Pope from the Archdiocese of Washington on the show. They were discussing the proliferation of fornication in our society today. A couple of things struck me, which I would like to share.

The Synod has Opened: Hello Media!! It is all about FAMILY.
The Synod has Opened: Hello Media!! It is all about FAMILY.
By Larry Peterson
The secular media (print & broadcast) has been salivating over the Synod of Bishops that has officially opened in Rome. They have been pounding the drum about the birth of a NEW church filled with the progressiveness of the "modern, secular world". They have ignored the reason this Synod has actually been called together. HELLO media, the Synod is about Family.

Child Euthanasia—Another Secular Abomination Degrading God's Natural Law?
By Larry Peterson
I think that the plague of secularism that has engulfed the entire world possibly reached its optimal success last February. The highly civilized country of Belgium passed a law allowing children to choose to euthanize themselves.

Church Doctrine Concerning Marriage and Communion Cannot Be Changed By The Synod of Bishops
Church Doctrine Concerning Marriage and Communion Cannot Be Changed By The Synod of Bishops
By Jason Izolt, M.Ed., M.A.T.
The Synod of Bishops which will be meeting October 5 - 19 is causing a lot of stir in both the media and in the pews. The media, doing what they do best, is causing a raucous in an attempt to get as many clicks, views, impressions or whatever other methods they use o drive business to their sponsors and thus increase their revenue.

Change of Seasons, Change of Heart
By Carol Ann Chybowski
It’s official, autumn is here. Oh, I do know that autumn technically arrived a week or two ago at the equinox. It just doesn’t seem like fall when the temperatures near triple digits every day and the wind carries nothing but heat from the inland deserts.

EVIL vs GOOD: It May be Time for Everyone to Choose Sides
EVIL vs GOOD: It May be Time for Everyone to Choose Sides
By Larry Peterson
It seems that now, in the early 21st century, people of faith have been thrust into the Canyon of Decision. This is a place where a personal decision must be made and only two choices are available. Those choices are Good vs Evil. God is the perfection of all that is GOOD. Satan is the owner of all that is EVIL.
