Why not just be Catholic first?

Our Thanks to a REAL Man; Joseph of Nazareth
By Larry Peterson
I call Joseph of Nazareth the "Shadow Saint" because so little is known about him. There is not one spoken word he ever said that was recorded. But his quiet life resonated like huge cymbals being smashed together over the ages and into our very 21st century existence.

St. Julian and the Broken Garage Door Opener
By Christy Breedlove
St. Julian of Antioch was very heroic. On his feast day of 3/16, we honor his martyrdom. He was trying his best to convert the Turkish population when in 306, the authorities decided to execute him. Now being a Christian of ‘senatorial rank’, a regular execution was out of the question.

Vote Catholic?
Vote Catholic?
By David R. Myers
If you are Catholic and have a few years under your belt (I have 58 so far), and if you have had at least a passing interest in politics, you know that religion comes up for discussion and rather frequently when it comes to elections.

The Magisterium has Only Officially Interpreted Seven Verses!
By Kevin Noles
I have read/heard this accusation a few times. Usually bandied about by the same person but there are a fringe few who say it as well. I find it rather sad because it shows an ignorance of what the function of the Magisterium is.

I have to stop. I have to stop looking at secular news sites which have some of the most inane, ridiculous, and flat-out stupid "articles" I've ever laid my eyes on.

Let's Grow Some Figs!
By Mary Rivers

A fig tree, also the symbol for Israel, has shallow roots; nutrients taken from the soil require three years of growth until fruits are produced. During this period, the fig tree returns nothing back to the soil. “Love is a fruit always in season,” says Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
