Letter to Tim Kaine, Vice-Presidential Candidate
By Patti J. Mitchell
As a proud convert to Catholicism, I am aghast and appalled by your proclaiming to be a devout Catholic. According to the dictionary, devout means: deeply religious; devoted to a particular religion; loyal to something; devoted to a particular belief, organization, person, etc. Being devout also means we have a responsibility to God and the Church to follow our faith and be an example to others.

Slaves to Sin No More
Slaves to Sin No More
By C.L. Killgore
I used to have a professor who would say, “The only true freedom is the freedom from slavery to sin.” He said it often. I don’t know what else I learned in his classes off the top of my head, but those words are clearly etched in my brain (which I suspect was his point).

There is a Crisis of "Fatherless" Children in America; We Should Turn to St. Joseph for Help
There is a Crisis of "Fatherless" Children in America; We Should Turn to St. Joseph for Help
By Larry Peterson
September 8 was the birthday of our heavenly mom, Mary. On her birthday I also always think of Mother Mary’s husband, St. Joseph. Without him there would be no birthdays to celebrate, either on September 8 or December 25. When God chose Joseph of Nazareth to be the foster-father of His only Son, He certainly knew what He was doing.

The Prodigal Son & His Brother
The Prodigal Son & His Brother
By Charlie Johnston
We've all heard the story of the prodigal son, even non-believers are somewhat familiar with it. I've heard it preached on, lectured about, I've read articles and blog posts about it, I've studied it on my own, but I've always come at it from point of view of the prodigal son himself.

The Fraility of Human Love Compared to God's
The Fraility of Human Love Compared to God's
By Katie Zalany
Human love is so fragile. Almost everyone has been hurt by someone they’ve loved, and has lost a loved one through death or estrangement. Human love can be sweet, blessed, and wonderful one moment; and sorrowful, frustrating, and painful another moment.

On Being Catholic...
On Being Catholic...
By Carlos Espinosa
It took becoming a father, in my forties, to start getting interested in my faith. And, after a "reversion," during a spiritual retreat in 2006, I began to learn everything I could about the Church, so I could pass it on to my children.

What's Wrong with Femininity Anyway?
By Stephanie Losoya
I have always been fairly quiet online about feminism because it's such a convoluted concept. I mean at face value, it seems like a positive thing, right?

Nonprofit Leadership: This Catholic's Cross and Mission
Nonprofit Leadership: This Catholic's Cross and Mission
By Melanie R. Cameron
I can't stop the waves of successes and failures. I can pray the Serenity Prayer and the Litany of Humility; I can mean these things in my heart, but the challenges still come, the reality of failure, the excitement of success... why would I not work on temperance and humility more? Why does it not feel to me like I'm improving? How can I respond to God's call to ministry when I am so limited?

Within Our Reach
Within Our Reach
By Carleigh Lutz
Oftentimes, we find ourselves feeling inclined to do something great, to go out and change the world. It’s an urging that no amount of time will satisfy, and it feels sometimes as though we will burst for fear of not making a difference. We feel the call to love, because Love lives within us.

Defending Life
Defending Life
By Michelle Watkins
I personally cringe each time I hear an alleged-Catholic politician make an endorsement for abortion. We've all heard them say "I'm personally against abortion, but I don't want to take that choice away from others." A 'true', devoted Catholic knows the grave error of making such a statement. It is a condemnation on many levels.

Dynamic vs Lukewarm Catholic - an obscure reason?
By Linda Kracht
Have you ever been introduced as being a really good Catholic? Perhaps you have heard similar introductions and been discomforted by the words that felt more like faulty praise — and for many different reasons. False praise always sends a mixed message that nobody knows how to interpret.
