DEFENDING THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST
DEFENDING THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST
By Alex Brittain
A while ago I wrote a very short introduction about the doctrine of the Trinity, that God is three persons yet one. (To read that short essay click here.) This essay will continue with that concept and will focus specifically on the Divinity of Jesus Christ, meaning that Jesus is God and is the second Person of the Blessed Trinity.

Prince Judah Ben Hur and the American General
By George Galloway
There was one ground-breaking novel that dared to use Jesus as a character in American literature and set a precedent many would follow yet few would match, Lew Wallace’s Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. I can’t imagine that anyone who’s reading this article hasn’t seen the classic MGM 1959 movie production starring Charlton Heston.

Christian Unity and Two Questions That Protestants Cannot Answer
By Arnold Scott

The Mass is the ANSWER for it is the Most Beautiful Thing This Side of heaven
By Larry Peterson
Something deeply mystical happens on Holy Thursday that many people (this may include some Catholics) do not understand. I refer to the Mass of the Lord's Supper. Lent ends when this Mass begins, which is usually in the evening. This Mass commemorates the night when Jesus instituted the Holy Eucharist giving us His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity forever.

What Would Have been the Fate of Dutch Schultz if God Used a Zero-Tolerance Policy?
By Larry Peterson
This past Sunday two of my grand kids made their First Confession. It is always a beautiful thing when children receive their first Sacraments. Invariably, they never forget those moments. I was seven years old when I made my First Confession and I can still vividly remember that day.

Catholic Sex Scandals: Media Double Standards vs. Statistics
By Dave Armstrong
The terrible revelations of sexual misbehavior and cover-ups, exposed in 2002-2003 remain a huge and unspeakably evil scandal. I've never seen any conscientious, serious Catholic try to excuse or justify what happened. It's a black mark that has caused untold damage in many ways.

The Reluctant Roman: or Why I Converted to the Catholic Church, Part I: History and Authority
By Randal Schmidt
Let me make this clear up front: I never wanted to be a Catholic. To begin with, I did not even see that as a serious possibility at first. As a Protestant, during my college years I had become terribly dissatisfied with the various churches that I had attended. Many were too liberal, some were biblically unsound, some were too loud, too rowdy, too this, too that and so on.

The Sign We Seek is in Plain Sight
The Sign We Seek is in Plain Sight
By Shawn Roche
Men have always sought signs of God's power on earth. This not only comes from the desire to know the truth, which God has written on the hearts of all Men, but because we also hope for His protection. After all, we often find ourselves in dangerous times with each century's passing. In 2015, the world once again finds being struck viciously by militant Islam.
