The Fathers made me do it...Part 1
The Fathers made me do it...Part 1
By William Hemsworth
Before entering the Catholic Church I had been an ordained Baptist and Lutheran minister. To say I was anti-Catholic would be an understatement. I believed everything I was told about the Catholic Church, such as they worshipped idols and were the whore of Babylon. One day I set out to prove that the Catholic Church’s claim of being the church Christ established was false.

You Can't Beat Progress
You Can't Beat Progress
By Steve Reasbeck
"This isn’t the middle ages anymore", a gentleman told me in a recent discussion that we had over the virtues and need for faith. "We’ve come so far......especially in the last century.....that it isn’t necessary to believe in fairy tales anymore. God isn’t dead, He just never existed, we’ve progressed". I realize that this mindset and viewpoint is becoming increasingly popular these days.

The H-Word
The H-Word
By Matthew Newsome
The Catechism definition of heresy is straightforward: “The obstinate denial after Baptism of a truth which must be believed with divine and Catholic faith” (CCC 2089). Most Catholics today don’t go around calling their Protestant friends and neighbors heretics, and that’s a good thing. After all, most Protestants today don’t formally meet the requirement, never having received the Catholic fait

We Christians & Jews are Bound Together Forever by Our Spiritual DNA
By Larry Peterson
When I was growing up in the Bronx we lived on the third floor in a five story walk-up on Sherman Ave. There were eight of us in a four room apartment. In the apartment below lived Leo and Sophie Rabinowitz. Quite often, in the middle of the night, blood-curdling screams filled the back alley and our apartment and the hallways outside. The screams were coming from the Rabinowitz’s.

Baptism: Part 2 Saved in Baptism
Baptism: Part 2 Saved in Baptism
By Kevin Noles
The Catholic asks the Protestant, “Does Baptism save us?” The Protestant replies, “No.” The Catholic then turns to the only authority that the Protestant yields to, which is Holy Scripture, and that says yes (1 Peter 3:21). Instead of yielding to Holy Scripture as they claim, they instead are yielding to man-made traditions, those that are actually condemned by Jesus, instead of the Word of God

The Real Supreme Court.
The Real Supreme Court.
By Greg Schlueter
Nature. We didn't determine it. It has determined us. It is not a matter of religious adherence, only regard for what is undeniably true, and common sense. No argument surpasses the one the body has already made: Same sex bodies simply don't fit together, nor can their sexual processes accomplish what they are undeniably designed to accomplish

Migration
By Josef Bordat
In 1492, Christopher Columbus reached the island of Guanahani, which he named “San Salvador”. Columbus and his crew were accepted enthusiastically by the natives. Each year ten thousands of refugees from Africa reach the Canary Islands. They survived the risky crossing, which seems as dangerous as the crossing of the conquistadors 500 years ago.

What I Learned from the Early Christians about Spiritual Growth, Part 2: Everything is Gift
By Carl Sommer
The monastic tradition, which began already late in the third century and was shifting into high gear in the first half of the fourth century, stressed the importance of human initiative in the process of growth in holiness. This is understandable. Monks have deliberately taken on a difficult task; learning to live together in harmony even with a community of like minded men or women
