The Secret to Growing Vocations
The Secret to Growing Vocations
By Tara K. E. Brelinsky
When our friends' son entered seminary right out of high school, I considered that they had some recipe for raising such a faithful young man. And when their daughter gave serious consideration to joining a religious order, I was convinced that our friends had stellar parenting skills and a formula for holiness. Those friends had a secret, I was sure, and I wanted to know what it was.

Apps for the Mass
Apps for the Mass
By De Maria
How many of you use your smartphones and tablets to keep up with the Mass? Not very many, huh. Yeah, I’m usually the only one using mine at the Parishes I attend. Although, recently, my wife has been using hers in daily Mass. I was surprised, because I’ve been suggesting it for years and she always shrugged me off.

Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, I didn't like the Mass
Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, I didn't like the Mass
By De Maria
In the last article, I revealed how, one of the reasons that I left the Catholic Church is because I didn't like to kneel and pray. It seemed excruciating torture to me. And it was forced upon me by my parents, especially my grandmother, whenever she prayed. Therefore, I learned, at a very young age, to despise and avoid prayer at all costs.

Expecting Baby #7 and I'm Finally Tired of This
Expecting Baby #7 and I'm Finally Tired of This
By Heidi Bock
So, yeah, I know why you’re reading this. Don’t feel bad. You’re not the only one. Itching to hear it. Or maybe patiently waiting for me to fess up. For those tiny veins along my temples to do their thing. Confession time. To tell the whole world what you’ve already guessed. What you’ve already suspected for some time now. I’m crazy, right? Or being slowly driven crazy?

See No Evil: Why the Detroit Satanic Statue Unnerves and Disturbs Me Beyond Reason
By Melanie R. Cameron
I saw the article in America Magazine online, and there was this photo of the actual statue that's been approved for display in Detroit right next to other religious displays like the Ten Commandments. Seriously, just to go back and get the link for this article, I avoided seeing the picture again.

I Could Have Praised More
I Could Have Praised More
By Heidi Bock
August 5th marks the fifth anniversary of my mother’s death. Not a day goes by in which I am not aware that life is without her now. I miss her, I will always miss her. I miss the Dots and donuts. Miss the far-too-pink-pink lipstick she was never without. I miss the licked fingertips, circling plates of blueberry scone crumbs. I miss every Christmas she made special.

The Satire of Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson
By Michael D. Greaney
A few months ago as of this writing, Pope Francis caused a minor flurry of interest in the work of a lesser-known English Catholic novelist, Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson (1871-1914). He mentioned Benson’s science fiction fantasy Lord of the World, believed by some commentators to be the pope’s favorite novel, in a press conference during a flight on January 19, 2015. As His Holiness commented,

Separate Yourself
By Nathan James Rawlins

Baptism: Part 3 Infant Baptism
Baptism: Part 3 Infant Baptism
By Kevin Noles
An early practice of Baptism was infant baptism. Some people find that the argument for infant Baptism is an argument from silence. The same can be said about believers Baptism. There is no passage of Scripture that tells us that infants cannot be baptized. This argument comes from Nick Kuhns, who adheres to the Methodist theology ...

How to Put Mama Back Together
How to Put Mama Back Together
By Tara K. E. Brelinsky
In my previous article I wrote about how I sometimes feel like an old tattered teddy bear, who's been tossed, toted and squished until the seams burst and the stuffing erupts. Unfortunately, unlike the teddy bear's frayed parts, my episodes of impatience and lost temper are anything but cute.

Marriage: It's for Life
By Karl Erickson
Shirley Collier, my mother-in-law, suffered a traumatic brain injury last year during a surgical procedure intended to prevent an aneurysm.

Despite the efforts of doctors and family members, Shirley’s condition continued to worsen over the months following the surgery.

Knowledge and Experience of God
Knowledge and Experience of God
By Elizabeth A. McGuirk
I am lucky enough to be the rare Catholic who was raised with extensive catechesis and a thorough knowledge of my faith. I memorized questions from the Baltimore Catechism that I can still rattle off today. My education stood in stark contrast to the vapid, content-less fluff that pervaded catechesis at the time, which is why my parents so greatly emphasized learning the doctrine.

The Drama of Being Mama
The Drama of Being Mama
By Tara K. E. Brelinsky
The baby walked in front of our play-set swing, while it was in use by the 6 year old, causing the littlest guy to be launched into a fresh mud puddle. That incident caused their teen-aged, sibling caretaker to lash out at the swing rider eye-for-an-eye style.
