Advent and Kids: 10 Inexpensive Ways to Instill the True Meaning
Advent and Kids: 10 Inexpensive Ways to Instill the True Meaning
By Olivia Swyden
We are already about 1 week into Advent, and here I am finally trying to find fun and spiritual things to do with my kids to help them grow up knowing that Christmas is truly about the birth of Dear Lord Baby Jesus instead of Elsa the Ice Queen, candy, movies, mischievous elves, or whatever the hay it is they want Santa to bring them.

Can you prove the Assumption of Mary from the Bible?
Can you prove the Assumption of Mary from the Bible?
By De Maria
Is there a way to prove the Assumption of Mary other than saying "the Church says so" to a Protestant? I think so, keeping in mind that, “For some, no proof is necessary. For others, no proof is ever enough.”

Where do we find the Immaculate Conception in Scripture?
By De Maria
On this, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, I thought it might be appropriate to say a few words about this wonderful gift which God gave to the woman who would become His Mother.

Play Time
Play Time
By E.M. Wilson
So the other day I ended up babysitting my second cousins (that is the unspoken glory of a large extended family, your cousins bring their kids over and you end up watching them while they catch up with your parents/the rest of their immediate family). This would be far more annoying I'm sure if my second cousins weren't completely awesome.

Is Salvation caused by works?
By De Maria
A long time ago, a Protestant asked me, “Does the Catholic Church teach that works cause salvation?” I answered: No. The causes of salvation are explained in the Council of Trent (Session VI, chapter 7) and boil down to the Mercy of God.

Analysis of a Conversion, why I left the Catholic Church - I had a dream
Analysis of a Conversion, why I left the Catholic Church - I had a dream
By De Maria
When I was very young, I had a recurring dream. I guess I was around 5 years old when I first remember having the dream. The dream was that I could “fly”. It wasn’t real flight. It was more like the “Flying Nun” type of flight. I had this dream about three years before the show came on the air, so I don’t think the dream was influenced by it.

Romans 10 vs Protestantism
Romans 10 vs Protestantism
By De Maria
Frequently, Protestants will say that Romans 10:4 supports the doctrine of faith alone. However, for anyone who is steeped in the Sacred Traditions of Jesus Christ which are the bedrock of the New Testament, the Teaching of Rom 10 is very clear and it has nothing to do with justification by faith alone.

War On Women?
War On Women?
By Linda Kracht
We hear often enough that a war is being waged against women in the United States. Yet, war (the noun) is defined as the state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state. That definition makes it hard to continue arguing that a war is being waged against US women. For who is the provocateur; when did it start and why;

Go To Church
Go To Church
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
"Go to church." I surprised myself when I said it. My friend had been quietly explaining her deep concern about her experience with public school. After years of home schooling her children, she and her husband had decided the kids needed socialization so they enrolled their children in school

Does the Bible say we must keep the Law perfectly in order to be saved?

Can You Name Them?
Can You Name Them?
By Linda Kracht
Can you name them? Can you name the primary virtue that is one’s personal resolve of the mind and heart to maintain discipline over one’s physical (and sexual) body? The same virtue couples natural desires with what (another virtue)? What is required to maintain this virtue (three points)? What is the primary and opposing vice to the primary virtue?

An Open Letter to Youth Ministry Leaders
An Open Letter to Youth Ministry Leaders
By Greg Schlueter
While the below article is a bit ranty in form, sometimes we pull punches in things people really need to hear. As her father, I know it is born of a long season of real prayer, self-examination, frustration and, above all, an earnest desire for her generation to more deeply know and live for Jesus Christ. This is for youth ministry leaders who may be settling for less. Anne Marie is in her senior

"Temporal punishments for sin", what does that mean?
"Temporal punishments for sin", what does that mean?
By De Maria
In the “prayer to dead saints” article, someone is asking the meaning of the term, “temporal punishment for sin”. I sympathize. Because I had the hardest time understanding that, as well. But then, someone said, “Just think of it as TEMPORARY punishment for sin”. And voila! I understood.

Momnipotence, she explains, is “the kind of strength and power that belongs uniquely to women.
