Who Am I to Judge?
By Lorrie McNickle
Who am I to judge? I saw this “quote” once again in a comment on Facebook this weekend and it absolutely made me cringe. It seems to me this singular quote and the apathetic and relativistic philosophy that it signifies and demonstrates is at the root of what is wrong in our churches and society today.

To Hate? To Heal?
To Hate? To Heal?
By Elizabeth Thomas
God Said, “Let Light Shine Out of Darkness,” But God, this is a great darkness! God, what do we say? How can we relate? I know the trauma and effects of sexual abuse, but to have this pain come from the hands of a priest? There is no way any of us could begin to understand unless we were one of the victims. What is the answer then? Let us ask God as we always should.

Courage in Christ

If all your trust is gone from the Shepherds of the Church, you are certainly not alone.

Betrayal, Deception and the Love of a Mother
Betrayal, Deception and the Love of a Mother
By Susan Skinner
It is said that Judas stopped believing in Jesus during the Bread of Life discourse. A lot of disciples stopped believing then. It is interesting to note that it is John 6:66 that states “as a result many of his disciples returned to their former way of living.” It is this betrayal and rejection of Christ, that is later marked with those same numbers in the Book of Revelation,

Lord, To Whom Shall We Go?
By Charlie Johnston
This summer has been a rocky one for the Church in the United States. First there was the revelations about, now former, cardinal McCarrick. Then there was reports that many in the Church knew about inappropriate behavior and relationships that the cardinal archbishop was engaged in, and yet he was allowed to remain in the college of cardinals, keep his episcopal see, and remain in the priesthood.

Sin, Sorrow, Sanctification
Sin, Sorrow, Sanctification
By Nancy Marie Murray
The Church spoken of by Paul in today's scripture as the Bride of Christ, “holy and without blemish,” may seem unreal, like a dream or a mist, in light of the recent revelations of the darkness of sin hidden within the Church. Christ suffers again, crucified by the terrible sins that were committed against vulnerable members of His Body.
