The Religion Crisis

An Introduction to the Five Ways of St. Thomas Aquinas, Part 12
An Introduction to the Five Ways of St. Thomas Aquinas, Part 12
By Bob Hunt
After the death of Thomas Aquinas in 1274, opponents of his teaching emerged almost immediately, especially among the Franciscans. His confreres among the Dominicans came to Thomas’ defense, joined later by the Jesuits, and for a great while these two camps defined the place of Thomas in Catholic philosophical and theological discussion.

Remembering "The Prison Angel, Mother Antonia Brenner: On the 2nd Anniversary of Her Passing
By Larry Peterson
This is a love story. No, it is not about romantic love. Rather, it is about the love of Christ exploding in the soul of a woman who ran with her God given gift and did her best to shower it upon some of the meanest and worst criminals in Mexico.

Euthanasia: The Catastrophe of Honoring "Non-Life"
Euthanasia: The Catastrophe of Honoring "Non-Life"
By Larry Peterson
Euthanasia is upon us. And, like an insidious, unstoppable virus it spreads and spreads. And it kills. And the true vaccine that can conquer this madness has been rejected by those who embrace this practice. Yes, God is not in that syringe. How far we have come as a civilized people.

Authority: Part 2 Doctrine and the Church
Authority: Part 2 Doctrine and the Church
By Kevin Noles
Protestants typically believe that “essential doctrines” are agreed upon by every Christian church. If divisions do appear between Christians, such as on the rapture, then dividing the body of Christ into a new denomination is better than having a public dispute.

Okay So... What is American Freedom Then? (The Freedom Papers)
By Teddy Pierce
Without a doubt, the thing most threatened in our world today is freedom. No, this is not a ‘foil on your head’ conspiracy about how aliens are coercing our government to take our freedom away. No doubt, whether aliens are involved or not, we can see that some of our most basic rights are being threatened

Why do Eastern Rite Catholics make the Sign of the Cross "Backwards?"
Why do Eastern Rite Catholics make the Sign of the Cross "Backwards?"
By Joe Richard
This question, "Why do Eastern Rite Catholics make the Sign of the Cross "Backwards?" is somewhat misleading. Perhaps a Catholic of one of the Eastern Rites might ask "Why do the Roman Rite Catholics make it backwards?"

The Atheist
The Atheist
By E.M. Wilson
I came across this quote today from avowed atheist Dan Baker which states, "Asking 'if there is no God, what is the purpose of life?' is like asking 'if there is no master, whose slave will I be?' If your purpose of life is to submit as a slave, then your meaning of life comes from flattering the ego of a person whom you should detest."

What Is Dialogue?
What Is Dialogue?
By Mary Rivers
A simple enough question; it is more than just talk Pope Francis says, using Thomas Merton as an American example. Thomas Merton, a contemplative monk living in a hermitage in rural Kentucky, never –the- less dialogued with many thinkers world-wide. He dialogued with the farmer living next door, the driver who sometimes drove him to Louisville, the monks of the Orient, the editors of his papers,

Sabbath: Should we worship on Saturday or Sunday?
Sabbath: Should we worship on Saturday or Sunday?
By Sergio Garibay-Olivares
While talking about the day we worship God is important to keep something in mind. The Jews desired to make Saturday the Sabbath as it was the day God rested according to Genesis. The word Sabbath is from the Hebrew word SHABÀT, meaning ‘cessation,’ or ‘time of rest.’ The day chosen for the Sabbath is a day of rest dedicated to Lord,

Why Did Pope Francis Meet with the Lawbreaker Kim Davis?
Why Did Pope Francis Meet with the Lawbreaker Kim Davis?
By Arnold Scott
The visit of Pope Francis to the United States was one of the biggest media stories in a long time. Given how few members of the media are actually observant Catholics, what explains all the glorious attention and reverence he has received? One reason is that our culture has an insatiable appetite for celebrities and the Pope is certainly a global celebrity.
