So the Pope met Kim Davis
So the Pope met Kim Davis
By E.M. Wilson
So the Pope met with Kim Davis. And everybody is freaking out about it. And quite honestly, I love the sentiment from non and anti-Catholics who feel betrayed. “Omg I thought Pope Francis was cool and it turns out he’s going to stand with Catholic Church doctrine that unequivocally states that marriage is between a man and a woman. Boo! Hiss!

The Rosary - The Immense Power Within Our Grasp!
By Janet Moore
What do nuclear warfare, satanic priests, and serial killers have in common? What about corrupt and evil governments usurping the rights of its people, and horrific, unjust wars wrought upon Christians by radical Muslim forces?

Biblical, Historical, and Miraculous Evidence of the Eucharist
Biblical, Historical, and Miraculous Evidence of the Eucharist
By Tiffany Germain
The True Presence of the Eucharist can be one of the hardest things to accept. I mean you look at it and it looks like a mere piece of bread - a flattened one at that. You taste it and it tastes like it needs some seasoning or butter.

The Authority of the Church (Part 3)
The Authority of the Church (Part 3)
By Mike Bugal
In our previous two articles we looked at the Scriptural support for the Authority of the Church and the support found both in The Didache and the writing of the Ante Nicene Fathers. In this last part, we move on to considering the Councils of the Church that established much of what many Protestants and all Catholics affirm.

Alzheimer's & Marty: One year Later
Alzheimer's & Marty: One year Later
By Larry Peterson
It is now almost one year since my wife, Marty, was diagnosed as having Alzheimer's disease. The doctor gave us the news as we sat together. She acted as if she understood. She did not. I have told her that she has Alzheimer's disease and she tells me that she understands. She does not. What she does understand is that something is terribly wrong with her memory.

The Authority of the Church (Part 2)
By Mike Bugal
Now that we have established the Biblical basis for the Authority of the Church we can move on to the extra-biblical, the evidence in the writing of the disciples of the Apostles and those that followed them. We’ll look at The Didache, the writings of the Ante Nicene Fathers and the Councils of the Church around the time of the Council of Nicea. The oldest is The Didache.

Pope Francis visits America; the aftermath!
Pope Francis visits America; the aftermath!
By Paul Couturier
By now, Pope Francis has gone back home to Vatican City and in a few short weeks will be preparing for Christmas. So what did Pope Francis accomplish during his visit to the US? Was he treated fairly by the secular news media? Did the Church in the US get a spiritual jolt from his visit?

Tu Es Petrus
Tu Es Petrus
By Mike Bugal
Pope Francis’ recent visit to the United States and his speeches delivered before a joint session of Congress as well as his homilies have upset a good number of American Catholics. Many are saying that he should stick to spiritual matters and not express an opinion on subjects such as Climate Change, Immigration and the care for the poor. Their remarks reflect more upon the condition of the Churc

Pope Saint Pius I
Pope Saint Pius I
By Debra Booton McCoy
The reign of Pope Pius I (140-154) showed that by the mid-second century, Rome was the center of Christian faith and culture. The concept of a group of presbyters running the Church was gone and the pope was the go-to guy, so to speak, for all things Christian. Pius I was accepting visitors from Gnostics, borderline sects and well-known apologists from around the Mediterranean.

Pope Francis: Pride, Humility and the Gospel of the Day After
Pope Francis: Pride, Humility and the Gospel of the Day After
By Larry Peterson
Pope Francis has gone back to Rome. Sigh--I miss him. I live in central Florida so the closest he ever got to me was probably about 330 miles away and that was in a foreign country, Cuba. The closest I got to him in the United States was when he traveled to Washington, D.C. which is over 900 miles away. No matter, I do miss him. His gentle, kind and loving face was all over the TV screen since l

Francis: Rebuild My Church
Francis: Rebuild My Church
By Ana R. Plumlee
Many say that Pope Francis is changing the teachings of the Church. This notion is false. Pope Francis is not changing the teachings of the Church. He is, rather, changing the way that we understand the church by living out her teaching of compassion. He is showing the evangelical and missionary nature of the Church through his actions as Pope, just as he did before being elected to the Papacy in

An Introduction to the Five Ways of St. Thomas Aquinas, Part 1
By Bob Hunt
Thomas Aquinas was a thirteenth century Dominican friar (1225-1274). He is regarded as the greatest medieval scholastic theologian and, along with St. Augustine of Hippo, indispensible for understanding Catholic theology and philosophy. He is best known for his two masterpieces, Summa Theologica and Summa contra Gentiles, but is also highly respected for his commentaries on the Scriptures.

What Does A Black Crow Have To Do With The Movie Tomorrowland?
What Does A Black Crow Have To Do With The Movie Tomorrowland?
By Peggy O'Flaherty
Have you had a chance to see the movie Tomorrowland? In it, the main character, a young heroine, repeats a story back to her father, in his moment of defeat, a story he told her during her childhood. In the story there are two wolves: one is darkness and one is light. “Which one wins?” she questions him. After a pause she continues, “The one you feed the most.”

Lilacs, Rwanda, Immacule and Women's Inner Strength
By Peggy O'Flaherty
Have you noticed the lilac bushes are in bloom? In the Midwest every spring in early May the streets and yards are lined with beautiful purple fragrant lilacs. Perhaps you grew up with a Common lilac, Persian lilac, Dwarf Korean variety, Himalayan, Chinese lilac or even a lilac tree.

Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, other Catholics
Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, other Catholics
By De Maria
I've heard this one before from Protestants. Many of us don't give a very good example of Christian living. Look at the Kennedys. Our beloved President, John F. Kennedy, flaunted his affairs before the whole world. Our Supreme Court is mostly Catholic. Have they overturned Rowe vs Wade? No. If anything, they've solidified it.

Do You Carry an Assault Weapon?
Do You Carry an Assault Weapon?
By Michael Palaich
It was a question asked recently by Fr. William Casey at the 2015 Marian Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona. Clearly, it got the attention of attendees. Father William Casey, from the Fathers of Mercy Congregation in Auburn, Kentucky, is a fiery speaker often seen on EWTN during the Lenten Season, who has the uncanny ability to convey Catholic teachings in a tremendously charismatic way.

Obedience - A Tough Pill to Swallow
Obedience - A Tough Pill to Swallow
By Lorrie McNickle
I am trying to understand the motivation behind “Catholics” who seem to find it very necessary to publicly promote their own opposing personal views regarding authentic Church teaching and doctrine on social media and other public venues and forums.
