This College Kid Can Teach All of Us a Lesson*
By Larry Peterson
Most Catholics know of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The Society has been helping people in need for over 180 years. What most Catholics do not know is that St. Vincent de Paul is not the founder of the society. It is simply named after him because of his lifelong example of Christian charity.

A Crying Shame
A Crying Shame
By Mishka Góra
“How did we get into this mess?” That is the question that has plagued and paralysed me these past few months. You see, my archbishop is currently embroiled in a legal and political controversy. He’s got better things to do – he knows he is responsible for the souls of so many and he shepherds his flock accordingly – but the laws of the state have made it illegal for one person to offend another

Pope Liberius I
By Debra Booton McCoy
Pope Liberius is the first pope in history not to be awarded sainthood by the Church. Once you read the controversy which embroiled his papacy, you will understand why.

The Apocalypse Letters to the Seven Churches and Seven Ages of the Church
The Apocalypse Letters to the Seven Churches and Seven Ages of the Church
By Scott Pauline
Some Christian scholars, even Catholics ones, have conjectured that there are seven ages, or phases, of history to the Church, that can be imaged in the seven letters to the Churches at the introduction to the Apocalypse.
