A Sad Chapter in Catholic History
By Bill Dunn
In his letter to the Romans, St. Paul wrote, "I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Of course not! For I too am an Israelite….God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew….thus all Israel will be saved" (Romans 11:1,2,26).

No Arguments, No Conflicts...He Simply Spread the Love of God
By Katie Zalany
On St. Francis of Assisi's feast day, I was struck with a paragraph about St. Francis of Assisi in the Pope's new encyclical, and how it described St. Francis as willing to cross the borders of his origin, nationality, race, color and belief system and engage with those different from him.

"Prayer" The Unlimited Source of Hope
By Ralph Hathaway
There is no other way to reach Almighty God than to open the channel to his heart. The best description of prayer is the lifting of our mind to God. Therein we establish a communication with Him who created us and gave each one an ability to reach our Lord.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose: A Genuinely Catholic Horror Movie
The Exorcism of Emily Rose: A Genuinely Catholic Horror Movie
By JP Nunez
When we think of horror movies, the adjective “Catholic” isn’t usually the first description that comes to mind, and for good reason.

POPE BENEDICT IV, A STEP IN SAVING THE PAPACY
POPE BENEDICT IV, A STEP IN SAVING THE PAPACY
By Debra Booton McCoy
The “Dark Ages”, as the 800s and 900s tend to be called, were partially the result of a sense of self-entitlement on the part of the papacy and the ruling class. Everyone was in it for themselves, taking whatever could be obtained and rejecting others as pawns to be used. One of the outstanding men who achieved the papacy and did not work simply for his own comfort was Pope Benedict IV.

Justice Ginsburg: will History miss her?
Justice Ginsburg: will History miss her?
By Prof. Fred A. Nazar
Will historians say that our civilization is worse than Nazi Germany and that voters were more neglectful than the Germans who elected Hitler? Imagine a Supreme Court Judge decides slavery is legal again and the Executive and Legislative Powers allow slave hunting in America: wouldn’t it be considered a coup?

Anti-Semitism and Anti-Christianism----Equal Partners in Dispensing Hate
Anti-Semitism and Anti-Christianism----Equal Partners in Dispensing Hate
By Larry Peterson
I was born and raised a Catholic. The Jews were those other people. Yes, I know, Jesus and Mary and Joseph and the apostles' et al. were all Jewish. The truth is, as a youngster, I never cared about that or even thought about it. I guess I looked at them as converts, and we have lots of converts. Since I am a long way from my younger days, I have learned that genuinely believing what you say is n

I Vote Catholic
I Vote Catholic
By Dan Baca
I have a personal situation I need to share. I am a full-time Catholic. I don’t bring out my faith on Sundays for Mass and try and be something else during all other times. I am sure many Catholics are in the same situation.
