To Whom shall we go? You have the words of Everlasting Life!
By Ralph Hathaway
A strong reaction to what Jesus said; Are you going to leave as well? (Jn 6: 68) Yet, in light of the recent sex-abuse scandal and the outcry from so many disillusioned Catholics many are doing just that.

Pope St. Stephen I—He defined the Sacrament of Baptism and it Stands to this Day
By Larry Peterson
If we could travel back in time to the middle of the third century we would quickly discover the Catholic Church, although fraught with differences from today, had many similarities to our modern day, 21st-century church.
