A Legacy from my Recusant Past
A Legacy from my Recusant Past
By David Torkington
On the day when Pope Benedict first used the Internet ‘to tweet’, he was asked by one of his respondents, how can married people, living such busy lives, find time for prayer? He replied –“By offering everything that is said and done each day to God.” First thoughts on waking each morning he said should be to offer the forthcoming day to him.

The Jewish things we do in the Catholic Church
The Jewish things we do in the Catholic Church
By De Maria
This is an “ablution”. In the Old Testament, Jewish Priests, the Levites, before they would enter the Temple of God, would wash themselves to purify of any uncleanness. Of course, we recognize this as the Sign of the Cross which we perform upon entering the Church.

Opus
Opus
By Nathan James Rawlins
We are attempting to answer the question: what is the Church? In attempting to answer this question we look first to the episode of creation from Genesis chapter 2. The text constructs reality as we know it by using relationships and we can appreciate that Scripture picks up on the biological perspective in finding relation to all living things through the soil.

Blessed William Carter
Blessed William Carter
By Christy Breedlove
I like to read about dead people—obscure saints in particular. Odd macabre hobby but it’s not usually something that will get me admitted to a mental health facility, unless I start communing with the dead. I try to find a correlation between my obscure saint of the week and my harried life.

"A" Is For "Asinine"
"A" Is For "Asinine"
By Nicholas LaBanca
I hope that the title doesn't offend... oh who am I kidding. I've never been one to be politically correct. Webster's dictionary defines asinine as: "extremely or utterly foolish". I think that pretty much sums up the Freedom From Religion Foundation's (FFRF) constant attempts to subvert the Christmas holiday by putting their giant atheist "A" next to Christmas and Hanukkah displays

Why Are We All In Jeopardy Of Being Murdered Or Imprisoned Because Of Religion Or Legislation?
By Ralph Zuranski
Just because a person identifies themselves as Pro-life does not mean they are. The act of murdering anyone is a complete denial of what true Pro-life people profess.

Prayer, Massacres, Gun Control, and the Elephant in the Room
By Richard Maffeo
Within a day or so of the massacre in San Bernadino, the New York Daily News ran a full page spread with the title: God Isn't Fixing This." Their point, as you read the article, is we need better gun control. I see it much differently.

Evidence for the Existence of God from Experience, Part 16: Miracles, Continued
By Bob Hunt
This is a very important question that was made famous by Dr. Richard Dawkins. In a visit to Lourdes in France, Dawkins made note of the great number of wheelchairs and crutches that had been purportedly left behind by the cripples who no longer needed them after having been supposedly healed by the miraculous waters of the grotto

Two Teenagers, A Child and Christmas--a Perfect Mix

If it were two thousand years ago and you lived in Nazareth you might notice a young man packing items on a donkey in preparation for a trip. Early the next morning you see this fellow, with his pregnant teenage wife sitting on the back of the burro, heading down the road. They are in compliance with the law of the day.

Why We Need Sacred Tradition
Why We Need Sacred Tradition
By Mike Bugal
I’ve mentioned that the Catholic doesn’t merely rely on the Scriptures for all we know about the Faith. This is because God never intended the Scriptures to stand alone but to be part of a tri-fold means of “accurately handling the Word of Truth” as Saint Paul says.

Thou Art Peter
Thou Art Peter
By Sergio Garibay-Olivares
The explanation for the papacy is not something that just Protestants ignore, but Orthodox do it as well. The reason that is ignored in both churches ten to be to the misunderstanding of who is Peter. However for the Orthodox, it can add that is due to their belief that all Patriarchs are equal, yet, this is not the truth. First let’s analyze the name of Simon Bar-Jonah. He, a simple fisherman,
