Resurrection Evidence: Some Alternative Theories Part 1
By Mike Bugal
Unwilling to face the obvious consequences of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on their lives and persons which Saul confronted, men for centuries have sought to propose theories to explain away the Resurrection.

Resurrection Evidence: It's Effect on Saul of Tarsus
Resurrection Evidence: It's Effect on Saul of Tarsus
By Mike Bugal
There was one more Post-Resurrection appearance of Jesus Christ of which we are given testimony, and its source bears stark witness to its ultimate reality. Those who have been friends, relatives and followers of Christ could well be expected to affirm that He rose from the dead. But Saul of Tarsus was not one of these… in fact, just the opposite.

Resurrection Evidence: Eye Witness Accounts Part 2
Resurrection Evidence: Eye Witness Accounts Part 2
By Mike Bugal
What happened in Jerusalem seven weeks after the first Easter could have taken place only if Jesus' body were somehow missing from Joseph's tomb, for otherwise the Temple establishment, in its imbroglio with the Apostles, would simply have aborted the movement by making a brief trip over to the sepulcher of Joseph of Arimathea and unveiling exhibit A.

Resurrection Evidences: Introduction
Resurrection Evidences: Introduction
By Mike Bugal
Some years ago now I graduated from Central Christian College of the Bible in Moberly, Missouri. One of the requirements for my degree was the preparation of a publishable paper on a given subject. This series of articles is a condensed version of that work…The Resurrection.

Thinking About Religion
Thinking About Religion
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
When I became a Catholic in 1996, the Boston Globe had begun its several year series on priestly abuse in the Catholic Church for which the newspaper would win a Pulitzer Prize. Many of my friends commented that the timing of my conversion was typical: always going in the direction which everyone else had left.

During the Lenten Season Forgiveness Rules. Ask "Dutch" Schultz
By Larry Peterson
We are now into the third week of Lent and the road to redemption has been halfway traveled. Throughout the world Catechumens have almost reached their goal of full inclusion into the Catholic Church which takes place during the Easter Vigil. It is a beautiful thing. In addition, this past December 8, Pope Francis started us on our journey into the Holy Year of Mercy.

If you wish to be saved - The Athanasian Creed
If you wish to be saved - The Athanasian Creed
By De Maria
The Athanasian Creed is also known as the “Quicumque vult” because that is how it begins in Latin. It means, “if you wish” or “should anyone want”. Like the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed, it is another short formula for understanding our faith. The Athanasian Creed is especially good if you want to memorize an explanation for the Holy Trinity.

Responses to liberals – Part 2
Responses to liberals – Part 2
By Paul Couturier
It’s been far-left-wing liberals who’ve taken legitimate Church practices and taken them far beyond what is prescribed in Church Law, taking advantage of vaguely written rubrics, administrative procedures, and guidelines, and twisting them to suit their own agendas.

Responses to liberals - Part 1
By Paul Couturier
Recently, I wrote two posts chastising far-right-wing conservative Catholics who obsess over valid Church practices in place for many years now. They claim these valid practices will bring nothing but doom and gloom to the Church! However, these two posts are addressed to the far-left-wing liberals in the Church; trust me, I haven’t forgotten about you!

Blessed Josephine Viannini and the Rogue Yak
Blessed Josephine Viannini and the Rogue Yak
By Christy Breedlove
Blessed Josephine Viannini was a late 19th century religious from Italy who was asked by Blessed Louis Tezza to form an order to help care for the sick that were unable to pay for care. Well, as any good servant of God would do, she prayed over it and answered “yes”. She marched off to do her duty and saw her congregation spread to other countries. Her feast day is February 23.

Pope Saint Fabian
Pope Saint Fabian
By Debra Booton McCoy
As with so many of the other popes we have written about, the sources of information are few: The Liber Pontificalis, written by a number of unknowns over the centuries and compiled in the 1500s, and Eusebius' The History of the Church, written in the fourth century. All other sources are not complete or are written to enhance the images of these men, and may not be accurate.

Fear and Hell
Fear and Hell
By Linda Kracht
Recently, my husband and I traveled to Poland; we visited Auschwitz I & II. The latter is also known as Auschwitz-Birkenau. Until that trip, I didn’t realize the difference between the Nazi concentration camps and the death camps. The former were slave labor camps where crews of people worked themselves to death hewing out rock, and doing other hard manual labor jobs.

Why God Did Not Care That Scalia Was a Supreme Court Justice: Celebrating a Life of Public Faith
Why God Did Not Care That Scalia Was a Supreme Court Justice: Celebrating a Life of Public Faith
By Justin McClain
Before we advance any further, it is worth asserting that the title of this article should not be construed, in the least, as placing into question the merits of Scalia’s role within public service vis-à-vis the scope of his veritable destiny, celestial or otherwise. In fact, the intent is quite the opposite,

"I Thirst" A Lenten Reflection on Terri Schiavo
"I Thirst" A Lenten Reflection on Terri Schiavo
By Norman Fulkerson
It is a yearly custom for Catholics to reflect, during Lent, on the Passion and death of our Divine Savior. He was entirely innocent of wrongdoing, yet was ignominiously subjected to a show trial and condemned to a brutally painful death. This year many Catholics will also be thinking of the strikingly similar demise of an innocent woman named Theresa Marie Schiavo
