Raising Daughters, College and The Notebook...
By Carlos Espinosa
There's a fine balance between being a strong father and alienating your children. It's a fine line I don't always walk too gracefully, especially, in recent weeks, according to my wife.

Catholic Human Sexuality
By E.M. McCarthy
In today’s world, we are told that the Catholic Church is “outdated” because of its teachings, especially about human sexuality. It’s the world that doesn’t understand sex, not the Holy Spirit.

Wonder Woman: Anti-Feminist Superhero
By Peter Darcy
Please. No one tell Betty Friedan that a Greek goddess just smashed her feminist mystique. The Greek goddess in question is Diana, Princess of Themyscira, Daughter of Hyppolita, otherwise known as Wonder Woman. Technically Diana is a demigoddess, but this article isn’t about technicalities, it’s about a marvelous story that turns modern feminist doctrine on its head.

NaProTECHNOLOGY for the Unmarried Woman
By Hannah Marie
Women, married or unmarried, have unique health care needs. Modern women’s health care practices a mostly conventional form of medicine that can conflict with being a Catholic Christian woman. Does the Catholic Church provide a holistic, effective alternative to conventional women’s health care or leave us ladies stranded?

Love Letter to My Son
By Joe Klaas
Cameron, my son, sat in his middle school gymnasium for an awards ceremony, reading a book. “The Great Reckoning” by Louise Penny, was his latest literary venture. He just started it. It will take him a week or two to read it. I don’t know how he reads so fast, but it’s a gift.

Tales Of A Tornado Alley Catholic
By Nate Lauer
I grew up in a Colorado that is without mountains. That might seem hard to imagine. Growing up on a thousand-acre Northeastern Colorado farm and ranch might also seem hard to imagine. 1,000 acres is a lot of land by most people’s estimations.

Patron Saint of Missing Socks, Pray For Us
By Melanie Jean Juneau
As a mother of a large family, struggling to wash, dry, and fold three or four loads of laundry every day, I secretly wondered if there was an obscure saint, with little to do, who could fill in as my patron saint of missing socks.

So, HOW Do We Live in the Love of Christ?
By Melanie Jean Juneau
To the casual observer, I appear to be a devoted Catholic mother who has lived a sacrificial life worthy of a modern saint. Little do people realize that, although I did pour out my life struggling to raise nine kids on a small farm with little disposable income, I actually missed the core of Christ's message

The Amoris Laetitia Should Be Further Clarified
By E.M. McCarthy
The Joy of Love (Amoris Laetitia) is a papal statement on the family that has garnered controversy because some have viewed it as a way to allow divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Holy Communion without an annulment (meaning the union never occurred as a Sacramental marriage).

Mass Confusion: "Church as Hospital for Sinners"
By Greg Schlueter
"The church is not a hotel for saints, it is a hospital for sinners."- Saint Augustine. We shouldn't simply agree, we need to exemplify: are we understanding and naming the "disease"? With due recognition that healing is a process, are "medical practitioners" intentionally engaged in "healing"? Is it actually happening?

That Dog of Mine!!
By Elizabeth Thomas
I have a female blue healer about 4 years old who is very smart and understands full well a few words, especially associated with the tone of my voice. Just to hear me say angrily “that dog ate that cat food AGAIN even though I thought it was out of her reach.”

Do we respect the authority of Jesus? Even unclean spirits did!
By Troy Kroening
Jesus taught with authority. And by His authority, He commanded unclean spirits to flee. Jesus even gave “the Twelve … authority over unclean spirits.” [Mark 6:7] He did not give this authority to all of His disciples, just the Twelve that He chose. And the Twelve “drove out many demons” as we are told later in Mark 6:13.

Outward Signs
By E.M. McCarthy
There’s something about sports that draws us to them. Sports are exciting. We admire the best players. We want our hometown teams to acquire the best talent. We expect the coaches will give those players the tools to win. Then, we want to enjoy the way our team overcomes all the obstacles they face and win.

Why "Love is Love" Isn't Really Love
By Rob Agnelli
In the battle to normalize homosexuality there must be some collateral damage. Lies are like parasites to the truth—always doing harm and ultimately killing their host. The truth that homosexuality preys upon is not just erotic love, but the love of friendship.

Mary's 2nd Joy -- The Visitation of Elizabeth (Joy Series)
By Julie
The 2nd Joy of Mary is what I want to feature now. In some places it is celebrated on May 31st (as I am writing this it is that date) but it can also be celebrated on July 1st (Traditional Latin Mass Calendar).

Searching for Mercy
By E.M. McCarthy
There is no better word than mercy. Mercy is remarkable, and it goes against the natural human response of revenge.
