Somewhere, Over the Rainbow ...
By Chris Cappannelli, EdD
In the wake of the Supreme Court decision affirming the legal (if not moral) right to same-sex marriage, millions of Facebook users took to the site, altering their profile pictures with “rainbow” filters or posting some other affirmation of their apparent support of this ruling. However, as a CATHOLIC, what should your response have been?

Why I Am Not Thankful, because
By Mary Ann Gambill
There is a chair that every parent of a medically fragile child dreads. It is where you sit in a 8x8 room, waiting for the report from the surgeon. There is always a box of tissues on the coffee table beside the chair. As I sit in this horrible chair, I say thank you to Jesus. That's it. Just thank you. Just thank you with no "because."

Okay So... What is American Freedom Then? (The Freedom Papers)
By Teddy Pierce
Without a doubt, the thing most threatened in our world today is freedom. No, this is not a ‘foil on your head’ conspiracy about how aliens are coercing our government to take our freedom away. No doubt, whether aliens are involved or not, we can see that some of our most basic rights are being threatened

Is He Real?
By Jean Briese
e. There are many misunderstood beliefs in the Catholic faith. And there are many Catholics who misunderstand their own faith. As one reads the history of our salvation (The Holy Bible, The Word of God), it is easy to see a pattern emerge, a pattern of God’s people who worship and practice and KNOW their faith.

The Family Photo Album
By Denisea Kampe
I’m not Catholic by birth, but by choice. I was raised in the Baptist tradition until I was a preteen at which point my family stopped attending church. I’m not entirely clear on all the specifics, but no matter the reasoning, I’m convinced starving souls had as much to do with it as anything.

How Many are Missing?
By Mary Ann Gambill
Sollie loves to sit and look out our front door. He sits in his wheelchair at the tender age of two and peacefully looks outside while making soft contented sounds. He has been having some massive seizure activity lately. Some days, I can't help but wonder how long he will be with us. It pierces me through when the thought even crosses my mind. He is so worth it. He is so loved.

Knowledge is Power?
By E.M. Wilson
So as a former educator I am very familiar with the slogan "knowledge is power." It's certainly a popular notion. If you're going to vote and be part of a democratic society then you should be informed and educated.

6 Quick Facts plus one about the authority of Christ and the Church
By De Maria
Many Catholic apologists will tell you that the difference between Protestant and Catholic boils down to one thing, authority. Which authority? Protestants claim to submit to the authority of God in the Bible alone. They claim that the Bible alone contains the Word of God and therefore, it is the only authority to which man can turn today.

The Journal
By E.M. Wilson
So today I found myself wishing that I could somehow track down my fourth-grade teacher and tell her thank you. I’m sure she did a lot of good work with me that year. However, she did something else that I will never forget: she gave me my first ever journal. I got it as a last day of school present. It was red with a teddy bear holding balloons on the cover.

Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, other Christians
By De Maria
I've been cataloguing the main reasons why I left the Church. In case you're keeping up, so far I've gone through the introduction, the devil's trick, my aversion to kneeling, my hatred of the Mass, and in my previous entry, I revealed that one of the reasons that I left the Catholic Church was becauase of the witness of other Catholics. But Catholics weren't the only ones giving poor witness in

Euthanasia - Celebrating the Destruction of God's Greatest Gift - Life
By Larry Peterson
Euthanasia (aka assisted suicide), is a pathetic concept promoted under the guise of compassion, mercy and kindness. It is no such thing. Euthanasia is not compassionate. It is not merciful. And---it is not kind. It is an abomination because it celebrates the destruction of the greatest gift each and everyone of us has been given by God, the gift of life

The Case for the Gospels
By De Maria
As I mentioned before, a long time ago, a Muslim challenged me to provide a forensic defense of the Gospels. He claimed that compared to Islam, the Gospels had no verifiable evidence of even the existence of Jesus. In fact, he, point blank stated that evidence for the truth of the Gospels would be thrown out of court! So, is it true that the case for the truth of the Gospels would be thrown out

Five facts that will make you a more effective apologist
By De Maria
Most of us don’t have time to study the Bible. We’re busy raising families and keeping our jobs. Even if we did have the time, most of us are not highly inclined to do those things. Its too much like work, boring through that ancient tome and trying to learn and understand its lessons which are not often explicit. Its pretty hard. Right?

Do I Expect My Typical Children to be Responsible for my Special Needs Children?
By Mary Ann Gambill
Do I expect my typical children to be responsible for my special needs children later in life?! NO. I do not expect them to. I hope and pray everyday that Doug and I raise their hearts as such that they naturally, willingly, and with a joyful heart love their siblings well, both as children and as adults.
