The Religion Crisis
The Religion Crisis
By E.M. Wilson
So this post is about the religion crisis. And it's not quite the same religion crisis the media or even the religious press gets all jazzed about.

Bullying - Just for Kids?
By Linda Kracht
The statement from the CDC implies that bullying is negative behavior limited to youths who are in no way related to or in relationship with the person they are bullying. Is that true?

The Stigma of Abortion?
The Stigma of Abortion?
By E.M. Wilson
Roughly six months ago I started using Twitter as a way to promote my writing. As a social media avenue, I find it both a bit mindless and incredibly interesting simultaneously. Mindless because of the sheer capacity of things people Tweet (for better or worse) and interesting because when things trend it's an almost instant way to take the pulse of how people feel about a certain situation.

Brawling Brothers
Brawling Brothers
By Dean P. Johnson
One thing that has constantly struck me about the Bible is the recurring idea of brothers fighting. We have Cain and Abel. We have Esau and Jacob. We have Joseph and…well, all the rest of his brothers! It is interesting that people who are supposed to love one another, who have significant commonalities, who have shared experiences, can be constantly and connivingly at each other’s throats.

Hush.It Will be Alright
Hush.It Will be Alright
By Richard Maffeo
I heard her before I jogged around the corner. A long, slow, desolate cry. Blonde pig-tails, blue jeans, a long sleeve pullover shirt. She couldn’t have been older than four. She sulked in her driveway as Dad unloaded groceries from the van. He called gently for her to come inside.

Making Sense Of Suffering - Part 2: Joy in the Midst of Suffering
Making Sense Of Suffering - Part 2: Joy in the Midst of Suffering
By Alex Brittain
In the last essay, I covered what Suffering is. To summarize, Suffering is more than just pain, it is agony. Suffering may be temporary, but it can also be long lasting. We experience suffering via four forms: Physical, Emotional, Psychological, and Spiritual. Sometimes one form leads into another form or it can be a combination of multiple forms.

Striving with God
Striving with God
By Liana Eisenman-Wolford
How do I balance prayer and the needs of my family? I put this question to my spiritual director, hoping for a clear-cut answer, a formula. He is only human, though, so we simply talked through possibilities. He acknowledged the need for private prayer while trying to release me from self-condemnation and despair any time I didn't manage to do it all.

Somewhere, Over The Rainbow ... Lies a False Pot of Gold
Somewhere, Over The Rainbow ... Lies a False Pot of Gold
By Chris Cappannelli, EdD
In my last contribution, I discussed the response of the “average, rank-and-file” Catholic, and a significant showing of apparently approving, even celebratory, responses to the Obergefell decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in June of this year.

Contraception: Panacea or Poison?
Contraception: Panacea or Poison?
By Dr. Susan Caldwell
Many Catholics argue about the answer to this question: Is contraception good or bad, a panacea or a poison? As a lifelong Catholic and medical doctor, my answer to this question has changed over time. I have always known that the Church says “NO” to the use of contraception. I haven’t always known, however, why the Church denounced this practice. Now I know the answer.

As much as I would love to say how wonderful this pregnancy has been, the last four weeks have been anything but. Tomorrow I will be four months pregnant and the last four weeks have been nothing but vomiting and pure exhaustion.

I Just Don't See It!!
I Just Don't See It!!
By Elizabeth Thomas
Today, as I think of an upcoming visit over Christmas with some of my grandchildren, I start to have an imaginary talk with those grandchildren living down there. I wanted to ask them, “What do your friends say about God?” I wanted to ask them what are some of the basic reasons “why they may not believe in God?”
