The Religion Crisis
The Religion Crisis
By E.M. Wilson
So this post is about the religion crisis. And it's not quite the same religion crisis the media or even the religious press gets all jazzed about.

The Stigma of Abortion?
The Stigma of Abortion?
By E.M. Wilson
Roughly six months ago I started using Twitter as a way to promote my writing. As a social media avenue, I find it both a bit mindless and incredibly interesting simultaneously. Mindless because of the sheer capacity of things people Tweet (for better or worse) and interesting because when things trend it's an almost instant way to take the pulse of how people feel about a certain situation.

Somewhere, Over The Rainbow ... Lies a False Pot of Gold
Somewhere, Over The Rainbow ... Lies a False Pot of Gold
By Chris Cappannelli, EdD
In my last contribution, I discussed the response of the “average, rank-and-file” Catholic, and a significant showing of apparently approving, even celebratory, responses to the Obergefell decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in June of this year.

Pope Francis' Family Coat of Arms
Pope Francis' Family Coat of Arms
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
Even though I get some gentle ribbing from my friends and family for my harmless, idiosyncratic habit, I stay watching television shows and movies until the last credit disappears.

Saints as Friends?
Saints as Friends?
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
She was one of my very first friends as a brand new Catholic Christian. I felt as if I had landed in another universe, one filled with women I did not recognize and could not relate to.

Euthanasia: The Catastrophe of Honoring "Non-Life"
Euthanasia: The Catastrophe of Honoring "Non-Life"
By Larry Peterson
Euthanasia is upon us. And, like an insidious, unstoppable virus it spreads and spreads. And it kills. And the true vaccine that can conquer this madness has been rejected by those who embrace this practice. Yes, God is not in that syringe. How far we have come as a civilized people.

Tiny Ways of Martyrdom
Tiny Ways of Martyrdom
By Annie Piekarczyk
The martyrs of the Church leave me at a loss for words. Since I was really young, I’ve been fascinated with learning about the saints & especially the martyrs. I felt myself drawn to St. Joan of Arc — I was inspired by her bravery, her heroism and her fierceness.

Defending The Faith!
Defending The Faith!
By Steve Reasbeck
The recent wonderful visit to the United States by Pope Francis, and the response to it, especially from the evangelical community, bought to the forefront the need for all of us, as Catholics, to have the knowledge to defend our faith. The sheer hatred toward the Pope, based on lies, myths, and comments taken out of context surprised even me.

The Synod on the Family, Conscience, and the Duty to Continued Formation
The Synod on the Family, Conscience, and the Duty to Continued Formation
By Birgit Jones
Disquieting words are dripping out of the leaky sieve that surrounds the Synod on the Family. We're hearing things like papal delegate Archbishop Blase Cupich's statement that people need to 'come to a decision in good conscience' when it comes to giving Holy Communion to those who are divorced and civilly remarried.

Knowledge is Power?
Knowledge is Power?
By E.M. Wilson
So as a former educator I am very familiar with the slogan "knowledge is power." It's certainly a popular notion. If you're going to vote and be part of a democratic society then you should be informed and educated.

Pope's Fiat
Pope's Fiat
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
Among the many images of Pope Francis that were captured by the secular media during his recent visit to the United States, there is one that seems especially to have captivated people’s imagination: the image of the Pope being transported in a Fiat.

Euthanasia - Celebrating the Destruction of God's Greatest Gift - Life
Euthanasia - Celebrating the Destruction of God's Greatest Gift - Life
By Larry Peterson
Euthanasia (aka assisted suicide), is a pathetic concept promoted under the guise of compassion, mercy and kindness. It is no such thing. Euthanasia is not compassionate. It is not merciful. And---it is not kind. It is an abomination because it celebrates the destruction of the greatest gift each and everyone of us has been given by God, the gift of life

What in the World is a Synod?
What in the World is a Synod?
By Chris Boyer
Anyone who has at least a rudimentary interest in the news and happenings around the Catholic Church has heard of the current Synod on the family. The actual title of the Synod is the Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops. This years Synod is actually Part II of the Synod that convened in October 2014.

Is Faith Still Alive in America?
Is Faith Still Alive in America?
By Caitlin Bootsma
After Pope Francis’s trip to the United States, Fox News ran a segment posing this question: Is faith still alive in America? When you listen to the statistics—like that only 24% of Catholics attend Mass now as opposed to 55% in 1955—you might have your doubts. But this secular news segment told a different story (CARA study, Georgetown).

The Atheist
The Atheist
By E.M. Wilson
I came across this quote today from avowed atheist Dan Baker which states, "Asking 'if there is no God, what is the purpose of life?' is like asking 'if there is no master, whose slave will I be?' If your purpose of life is to submit as a slave, then your meaning of life comes from flattering the ego of a person whom you should detest."

Time For The Terrific Catholic Men's Conference - October 24th
Time For The Terrific Catholic Men's Conference - October 24th
By Bill Dunn
Have you noticed how difficult it is to be a faithful Catholic man nowadays? The values of our culture have changed drastically in recent decades. Things that were unheard of not too long ago are now commonplace. Our society is awash in pornography and casino gambling, and few people think it’s a problem. We don’t allow living children to be born, and then call it “comprehensive health services.”
