Betrayal, Deception and the Love of a Mother
Betrayal, Deception and the Love of a Mother
By Susan Skinner
It is said that Judas stopped believing in Jesus during the Bread of Life discourse. A lot of disciples stopped believing then. It is interesting to note that it is John 6:66 that states “as a result many of his disciples returned to their former way of living.” It is this betrayal and rejection of Christ, that is later marked with those same numbers in the Book of Revelation,

Lord, To Whom Shall We Go?
Lord, To Whom Shall We Go?
By Charlie Johnston
This summer has been a rocky one for the Church in the United States. First there was the revelations about, now former, cardinal McCarrick. Then there was reports that many in the Church knew about inappropriate behavior and relationships that the cardinal archbishop was engaged in, and yet he was allowed to remain in the college of cardinals, keep his episcopal see, and remain in the priesthood.

The Real Scandal
The Real Scandal
By E.M. McCarthy
It was the beginning of the AIDS epidemic during the early 1980s. I recently lost my mother to a car accident and my father was recovering from a head injury.

Death Penalty; Abolish it Now!
Death Penalty; Abolish it Now!
By Ralph Hathaway
The first thing I want to do is commend Pope Francis on his courage to call for the ancient and most inhuman act of violence we have accepted, to end.

Theology of the Crucified Body, Part II: Doubting Thomas and the Doubting Jews
By Scott Pauline

What is Pelagianism?
What is Pelagianism?
By William Hemsworth
Many Protestant Christians say that the Catholic Church teaches Pelagianism, or at the very least semi-Pelagianism. This line of reasoning shows a fundamental misunderstanding of not only what the Church teaches, but what Pelagianism is. Pelagianism is a heresy that was condemned by the Church and is superfluous for beatitude.

The Child Separation we should be fighting against
By Rose Cuervo
(A doctor-friend wanted to share this in the light of the extreme abortion on demand bill in NY State.) I have handled human bodies and remains as a pathologist and this includes that in the earliest stage of life.

What if?
What if?
By Katherine V Urquidi
This last week marked the 50th anniversary of the encyclical Humanae Vitae, written by Bl. Pope Paul VI. It was written as a repudiation of contraception and abortion, but the tone of the encyclical was decidedly more pastoral than doctrinal. What if doctrine had been stressed over pastoral matters?
