#1 Frequently asked questions, "what is the Kingdom of God?" "What is the Gospel?"
By De Maria
The questions are very closely related, as we can see in this verse: Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
This painting is shocking. As soon as we recognize precisely what the artist, Franciscan Brother Mickey McGrath has painted, we feel disquieted- even to the point of turning away, closing our eyes. Upon reading what Brother Mickey writes about his painting, our sense of disesteem increases.

Exitus Acta Probat
By Joseph Michael
I find it odd that it has seemingly become fashionable for professors and theologians to promote the so-called “Empire-critical” method of reading the New Testament Scriptures. What I find most perplexing about it is that there is simply no legitimate basis for this approach.

70th Anniversary of Exorcism Performed by St. Michael the Archangel
By Norman Fulkerson
This year marks the seventieth anniversary of the only documented exorcism in the United States of America.1 This is important because one of the biggest lies of the devil is to convince mankind that he does not exist.
