Articles in 'LIVING CATHOLIC'
On the Street
By Christopher Brown
The two most frequent questions I am greeted with when I share with people that I am Catholic are: “So you’re against Gay people right?”... "Well no," I reply, "I love all people, just hate the sin." The next is ”so I’m supposed to stay in a marriage where I am unhappy?" After a little more questioning, I find out that their assumption was based on their perception of the Catholic view

Celibacy and the Single Mom
By Elizabeth Conner
This is a really hard post for me to start, because I don't know where to begin. How can I write about celibacy? I mean I am...celibate...although, it is hard. Maybe that is exactly why God wants me to write this, as a reminder to myself why this is so important.

Sharing Your Gifts to Bring People to Jesus
By Father Adaly Rosado, Jr.
I am preaching about the need of using our gifts in order to bring Jesus to the people. In the video link above Sister Cristina does just that, with her rendition of Alicia Key's "No One."

Ace-Of-All-Trades: How Working in Hardware Allows For Humility
By Matthew Johnson
With working at any job, you know you are going to have slow days or busy days. Today fell under the category of the latter. At my current job, I am full-time doing anything you can think of in the store. Cutting keys, mixing paint, or building grills, everyone who works has to be trained in pretty much all types of fields when dealing with hardware.

Staying Positive While Seeking God's Plan In My Life
By Renee Oania
Looking back, I realized there are many reasons why I experienced different jobs, like working for a retail company, publishing, government, school districts, and parishes. At the age of 17, I started my first job to save money to attend college, and figure what my career path was.

Evil Transcends the Ages: Meet Blessed Maria Restituta; a Holocaust Victim Executed for Hanging A Crucifix
By Larry Peterson
The brutal murder of American journalist, James Foley, is just the latest act inspired by Satan and carried out by his malevolent followers. James Foley was not killed because he was James Foley. He was killed because, like so many before him, he represented GOODNESS.

Sealed With the Spirit: The Sacrament of Confirmation
By Elizabeth Ficocelli
Inspired by Pope Francis’ recent attention to the seven sacraments -- unique encounters with the Living Christ that should be made accessible to all Catholics -- this monthly series will look at practical and creative ways the sacraments can come alive in our classrooms and in our homes.

Stances of Grace
By Karl Erickson
We are often reminded of the need to live each day for Christ—not just during Sunday Mass alone. The idea being that we too often compartmentalize ourselves; our church and spiritual lives on one side, and our secular lives on the other. As converts to the Catholic Church in 2005, the merging of these two distinct halves has been something I have personally struggled with ...

Why I believe in the Sacrament of Confession (Reconciliation)
By Charles Miller
I am a fairly recent convert to Catholicism compared to most. I have been in full Communion with the Catholic Church for only about 2 and a half years. Remembering my journey to the Church, I remember Confession being one of the harder doctrines to accept. I mean who WANTS to tell all of their deepest darkest fears to another human being?

My Preparatory Journey Towards Daily Intentional Leadership
By Rebecca H. Aikman
Several years ago I was invited to take part in the North American Educational Initiatives Foundation's Leadership Program (NALI). The experience and program itself uniquely inspired me as a singularly invaluable exploration and formation towards leadership, and an occasion I will always remember with gratitude.

"Hey Atheists--Why can't You Leave Us Deists Alone?"
By Larry Peterson
The FFRF (a snappy little acronym for the "Freedom From Religion Foundation") was in the news again. Their latest inane protest demanding the U.S. Navy get rid of all Bibles at guest hotels had been granted. NEXCOM (a pronounceable acronym for "Navy Exchange Service Command") decided in favor of FFRF, and agreed to remove Bibles from 34 Navy locations and 24,000 Navy Gateway Inns and Suites

Send Us The Gift of Peace
By Connie Beckman
This is the time for all Christians to come together to pray and to fast for those who are being persecuted and slaughtered in the war torn parts of our world. God truly is the refuge of the poor and humble when evildoers are oppressing them. We cry out to the Lord that the time of their rescue would come quickl

The Servants of Satan Laugh as They Murder Christian Children~~We Cannot Continue to Stand Idly By
By Larry Peterson
There was a photo of a child, actually a baby. She was maybe a year old, maybe a month or two older. Wearing a pink and white stocking hat and a sweater to match, she was sitting on the ground surrounded by dirt and rocks. Her beautiful round face was facing upward, and her big round eyes were looking at the men who would, in the next few moments, become her executioners.

Depravity in Oklahoma---The Ultimate Denigration of Catholicism; The "black mass"
By Larry Peterson
We Catholics have a prayer that we recite and it is directed to St. Michael the Archangel. Pope Leo XIII wrote this prayer back in 1886 and it was recited virtually every day at all Low Masses from that time until the late 1960s. Then the Vatican II reforms began to be implemented and the prayer was more or less discontinued although it was still recited at different liturgical functions.

Cost of Discipleship
By Karl Erickson
Too often discipleship seems nothing more than a vague and nebulous idea rather than a relationship hinging directly upon the mysterious person of Christ. There was a popular spiritual book a few years ago called The Shack.t's message purported to free the reader from those unpleasant obligations associated with Christianity.

Injured and Alone
By Karl Erickson
Our hike into Oregon’s Mt. Jefferson Wilderness had begun so auspiciously that Friday morning. My wife, daughter, and our Newfoundland puppy named Chester saw us off, hiking with us into Lake Pamelia (3,884 ft. elevation) where we parted ways: they returning to the trailhead, and my father, son (Stephen), and I pushed higher and deeper in to Hunt’s Lake

Closer than a Brother
By Karl Erickson
Although Sunday, November 16th, 2008, failed to dawn clear and sunny in western Oregon, there was still hope and excitement hanging in the air at the Erickson household. Our son’s birthday party was planned for the afternoon, and everyone had been scurrying around that morning to get the house ready for the young guests. Except for the party preparations, all was a fairly typical Sunday morning
