The Church and Authority: Part 4 Petrine Primacy (The Pope)
The Church and Authority: Part 4 Petrine Primacy (The Pope)
By Kevin Noles
There may be no bigger contention between Catholics and Protestants, besides maybe salvation, than the doctrine of the Pope. There are many different arguments against the Pope from Protestants such as “Petros only means pebble” or “Peter was never in Rome.” Unfortunately my desire to keep each article short (about 1,000 words) does not give me a lot of room to cover each issue,

Sola Scriptura - Did Anyone Consider This?
Sola Scriptura - Did Anyone Consider This?
By David R. Myers
Hopefully everyone good enough to read this blog has an idea what “sola scriptura” means. It is the idea that belief should rest on the written text of the Bible alone, and that things which are not mentioned in the Bible should be discarded from belief.

Here is How the Bible PROVES that Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant
Here is How the Bible PROVES that Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant
By Arnold Scott
Protestants tend to downplay the role of Mary in salvation history, emphasizing that the New Testament does not focus on her too much. Exalted titles for Mary, such as the "Ark of the New Covenant" appear to them as distracting from the centrality of Christ, and probably even blasphemous. But... What if I could PROVE that the BIBLE plainly teaches that Mary is the "Ark of the New Covenant"?

The Church and Authority: Part 3 Apostolic Succession in the Church
The Church and Authority: Part 3 Apostolic Succession in the Church
By Kevin Noles
Whenever I talk about Apostolic Authority the typical response is something along the lines of “I believe in God’s authority not an authority coming from a man.” The nature of the Church’s authority is indeed God but a better way to ask this question may be to ask how the authority was given.

The First Thanksgiving? Not So Fast
The First Thanksgiving? Not So Fast
By Joe Richard
We all were taught about it in school: The Pilgrims at Plymouth Plantation had a harvest meal with Squanto and the Native Americans, giving thanks to God for their harvest, and well-being. From this first celebration, others followed in the New England colonies, and later, states, until finally, it became a national holiday. Children still make Pilgrim hats and Indian headdresses as they celebr

Of Roman Catholics and Roast Turkeys : Why You Should Go To Mass on Thanksgiving Morning
By Nate Lauer
Go to Mass on Thanksgiving! There is no more fitting action in America on Thanksgiving Day than to do so. Think about the following: The word Eucharist actually means “thanksgiving”. How perfect is that? At the Last Supper, Our Lord gave thanks to the Father in instituting the Eucharist! The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us that the Eucharist is “…an action of thanksgiving to God.”

Pope St. Eleutherius
By Debra Booton McCoy
Pope St. Eleutherius was a Greek, son of Habundius, born in Nicopolis, part of what is now Greece, some time after 100 AD. His name means "frank, honest, free-spirited". Whether that is his real name or a description of the man is unknown. Eleutherius was Bishop of Rome from about 175 to May 24, 189 AD. It is said that he was martyred at that time.

I will be there tomorrow
I will be there tomorrow
By Joe Richard
It’s nearly that time of year again, whether we are ready or not. As we approach Thanksgiving, we will begin to hear Christmas Carols on the radio, in the malls, and in the various stores. One of those songs we will hear is some version of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.” I want to give a little background on this old favorite, and share what might be a little-known interesting fact about its background

12 Early Church Quotes That Will Challenge Protestants
By Arnold Scott
It is very exciting to be in full communion with the very same community that Jesus Christ established. Whether in 40 AD or today, this community is the very same one that has been continued through apostolic succession, unity with St. Peter and his successors, the sacraments, the preaching of the Word of God in Scripture, Sacred Tradition in the liturgy, the creeds, ecumenical councils,

The Lie of White Privilege
The Lie of White Privilege
By Karl Erickson
As a Catholic, I understand guilt. It has the power to make us better men and women of God. As we examine ourselves and come before the Lord to seek forgiveness, guilt can be a pointed and personal reminder of the redemptive power of Christ and the need for the Sacrament of Penance. Guilt, however, is not a positive thing in and of itself. Neither does false guilt represent a power for good.
