1 Timothy 3:14-15
By Barbara Golder
….one sad fact about the sinful people who make up the Church is that we will rarely miss an opportunity to mess things up. There is no guarantee that the institutional face of the Church will do the best thing at the most opportune time, avoiding any possible misstep. But even in the face of certain suppression, the choice to leave the Church is still that: choice.

But What Does It Really Mean?
By Joni Johnson
Over the past several weeks, I have read various articles concerning the appropriate response to the United States Supreme Court’s decision regarding gay “marriage.” There is quite a large body of information, and many great ideas on how to show love in spite of disagreeing with a lifestyle.

Dear Protestant, How Early Are The Early Church Fathers?
By Arnold Scott
The term "Early Church Fathers" is often heard when discussing the history of Christianity. The bishops and theologians who have left us writings and are honored with this title extend for centuries from the time of Christ, even into the 8th century to St. John Damascene, who is often considered to be the last of the Early Church Fathers.

See No Evil: Why the Detroit Satanic Statue Unnerves and Disturbs Me Beyond Reason
By Melanie R. Cameron
I saw the article in America Magazine online, and there was this photo of the actual statue that's been approved for display in Detroit right next to other religious displays like the Ten Commandments. Seriously, just to go back and get the link for this article, I avoided seeing the picture again.

No Es Bien
By Michael D. Greaney
The Honorable Evo Morales, President of Bolivia, caused a bit of a stir recently by presenting Pope Francis with a crucifix made in the shape of the communist hammer and sickle emblem. As interpreted by many people, the pontiff’s response sent mixed signals.

St. Clare, Defender of Faith
By Julianne McCullagh
*O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, for the salvation of souls, the reparation of sins, the reunion of all Christians, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father this month. Amen.*

Are You A Hypocrite for Being Pro-Life and Anti-Birth Control?
By Arnold Scott
The excellent social commentator Damon Linker at The Week has struck again. He honestly evaluates the recent revelations of Planned Parenthood videos and how some liberals are, ridiculously, instead focusing their outrage on the death of a lion. His August 4 column is worth reading:

The Satire of Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson
By Michael D. Greaney
A few months ago as of this writing, Pope Francis caused a minor flurry of interest in the work of a lesser-known English Catholic novelist, Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson (1871-1914). He mentioned Benson’s science fiction fantasy Lord of the World, believed by some commentators to be the pope’s favorite novel, in a press conference during a flight on January 19, 2015. As His Holiness commented,

The Shameful Silence--it Honors Evil
By Larry Peterson
"Silence in the face of evil is evil itself." Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran theologian in Germany during the reign of Adolf Hitler. His book, "The Cost of Discipleship", has become a classic. Focusing on the "Sermon on the Mount", the book more or less spelled out what Bonhoeffer thought was the true way to follow Christ.

You Can't Beat Progress
By Steve Reasbeck
"This isn’t the middle ages anymore", a gentleman told me in a recent discussion that we had over the virtues and need for faith. "We’ve come so far......especially in the last century.....that it isn’t necessary to believe in fairy tales anymore. God isn’t dead, He just never existed, we’ve progressed". I realize that this mindset and viewpoint is becoming increasingly popular these days.

#LoveWins?
By Lora Wilson
The hashtag #LoveWins is being used online to express approval of the Supreme Court's recent ruling on marriage. Given the insulting rhetoric on both sides of this issue, it's hard to see victory or anything resembling God's law of love.

We Christians & Jews are Bound Together Forever by Our Spiritual DNA
By Larry Peterson
When I was growing up in the Bronx we lived on the third floor in a five story walk-up on Sherman Ave. There were eight of us in a four room apartment. In the apartment below lived Leo and Sophie Rabinowitz. Quite often, in the middle of the night, blood-curdling screams filled the back alley and our apartment and the hallways outside. The screams were coming from the Rabinowitz’s.

This picture was taken at my daughter's wedding and it was a happy day. Facing the picture, the young fellow on the left is my "baby" brother, Johnny. The one to his left in the back is my brother, Bobby. I am to the far right, my sister, Carolyn, is in front of me and my brother, Danny, is to her left in front of Bobby.

Where is the Outrage?
By Rusty Korhonen
I see commercials showing abused puppies and other stomach-turning scenes. Animal abuse is terrible and sad and should be stopped. I've read that animal abuse is now considered a Felony in many states. The reaction to the pictures and video is visceral and physical. The footage is followed by a message from the ASPCA or PETA soliciting money for their cause.
