The Dragon's Assault on the Catholic Pyramid of Truth | The Mystery of the Ages of Doctrinal Development
By Scott Pauline
David and Goliath is a very famous Scripture story, and I never regarded it as having a mystical element until recently. In fact, I have discovered that it fits perfectly with a theology that I have had for a long time, namely, the mystery of the ages of the doctrinal development of the Church.

Why the Personhood Issue Matters
By Anthony S. Layne
Thus ends Rebecca Bratten Weiss’ May 16 article, “It’s Time to Move Past the Pro-Life / Pro-Choice Dividing Line.” I should make it clear that I often agree with Bratten Weiss in the substance of what she says even when I sometimes wince or cringe over the manner in which she expresses it.

Truth finds man, since man cannot, by himself, find the Truth.
By Kim-Thérèse Lee
I have often questioned why there are so many people of different faiths and none. So many arguments caused over who is ‘right’ and in the name of religion. But as I watched a film on St. Augustine of Hippo called, ‘Restless Heart’, I found my long sought answer in the words Bishop Ambrose said to St. Augustine.
