You nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
By Al Vargo
Matthew 15:6 Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. Since the dawn of the Reformation, Sola Scriptura (the Bible Alone--as the sole source of moral teaching) has been the mantra of those who left the Church founded by Jesus. What does the Bible say about this tradition of men? Jesus commanded His Apostles (the 1st Bishops)to go forth and teach ALL that He instructed.

The Corruption Of The Oath Of Hippocrates
The Corruption Of The Oath Of Hippocrates
By A. Patrick Schneider II, MD, MPH
For 2500 years the Hippocratic Oath had guided, guarded and grounded the medical profession. It was a source of professional unity and pride, as well as an ancient and trusted ethical compass that assisted the profession (and patients) in the navigation of both familiar, as well as unchartered waters.

Pope Francis: "...Marriage is about a Man and a Woman Walking Together..."
By Larry Peterson
Way way back in ancient times, like around 1950, about 22% of American adults were single. Since the population 'way back then' was about 152.3 million, that would mean that about 33.5 million Americans were unattached. In 2013, the population was almost double, coming in at about 316 million people. Single adults tipped the scales at 50.2%.

Lukewarm Christians
By Lavinia Theodoli Spirito
One of the foundational documents of Vatican II, Lumen Gentium, outlines a problem that has come to fruition in our time 40 years later:' Even though incorporated into the Church, one who does not however persevere in charity is not saved. He remains indeed in the bosom of the Church, but “in body” not “in heart” .

A Prayer for Peace
By Carol Ann Chybowski
All of us who lived through the horror of the events of September 11, 2001 will never forget what we saw and heard and felt on that awful day. We all remember those events in a special way each September 11, as we think back and relive where we were when we first heard the news.

Labels and Euphemisms
Labels and Euphemisms
By Lavinia Theodoli Spirito
We are constantly confronted with a specialized language in which every day terms assume politically charged overtones. Take the word ‘choice’. Before 1973 and Roe v. Wade, choice represented the liberty I can exercise according to my preferences and my level of autonomy. After that date, it assumes a whole universe of politically charged meaning.

'Catholic Vote"
'Catholic Vote"
By Lavinia Theodoli Spirito
What exactly is a “Catholic Vote”? In order to be ‘Catholic’, a vote needs to be cast according to the beliefs of the Catholic Church, otherwise it’s a ‘this is what sounds good to me’ vote. To dress it up post facto, as a Catholic vote based on some nebulous feelings of affiliation, in order to appeal to other voting blocks is not honest.

Sola Scriptura: Is there such a thing?
Sola Scriptura: Is there such a thing?
By Charles Miller
Some people claim to believe in the idea of Sola Scriptura, or Scripture Alone. This is a belief that states that the Bible contains all knowledge necessary for salvation and holiness, and nothing else can be considered in discussion, other than the Bible and the words contained inside it. Can this really be believed though?

Saint Philomena: Myth or Reality?
By Traditional Catholic Guy

Thirst for Reverence
Thirst for Reverence
By Karl Erickson
From the beginning of our marriage, finding a church that seemed right was a struggle. We visited church after church and spent significant time in prayer on the issue. This was not what we had planned. I had always expected to quickly settle down in the “perfect church” home, but we just could not find it.

Salem Matti Kourk: Hated and Murdered by ISIS; Loved by God and His Mom
By Larry Peterson
I guess there is nothing like the shocking beheading of a live, innocent, helpless person by gutless, yellow-bellied devil lovers dressed in black pajamas to garner world attention. The high-profile, barbaric murders of James Foley and Steven Sotloff have done just that. Their murders have been emblazoned across the print headlines and media air waves giving Satan's favorite "crew",

Rosaries
Rosaries
By Renee Oania
Rosaries are holy items that helped me learn to pray and to better understand the Catholic Faith. I feel embarrassed because I never prayed the rosary before now. While I worked at the Carmel Mission Basilica, one afternoon, my supervisor and I walked around the grounds and then stopped at the Gift Shop.

Why Confess to a Priest?
Why Confess to a Priest?
By Christopher Brown
While discussing the Sacrament of Penance, I will use a few different terms. Reconciliation, the penitent will reconcile with the Church and God, this reconciliation cannot be separated. “To reconcile means to bring two entities together, so that they are in agreement.” Penance, the penance performed restores the relationship with the Church and God.

The Seventy-Two Disciples
The Seventy-Two Disciples
By Christopher Brown
As we read in Luke:10, Jesus sent out seventy-two disciples to go where He was to go. He told them that He sends them like lambs among wolves. He continues, if you enter a house, say peace to this house, if someone there promotes it, there it will reside, if not, the peace will return to you. Jesus continued with detailed instructions on how they were to conduct themselves on their mission.
