Confessions about Confession
Confessions about Confession
By E.M. Wilson
So speaking as a Catholic I have to confess that there are many, many aspects of my faith that are mysterious and rich in Biblical ritualistic significance. What this translates to meaning for the everyday is that there are several misconceptions surrounding the Catholic Church and people talk about it like they understand it, when they don't (some Catholics are probably included in that).

The Valveteen Cabinet
The Valveteen Cabinet
By Greg Schlueter
With a bunch of younger kids there were things we didn't bother fixing. Particularly after the second or third time. Door knobs. Cabinet hinges. Chairs. Each new blemish or brokenness met with resignation. Sometimes an expletive. Worn carpet. Chipped paint. Wall stains.

Bringing children to Mass
Bringing children to Mass
By The Reluctant Seeker
I read a recent article by Amanda Knapp also on Catholic365 where she explains why she brings her small children to the Mass. I agree with her in that the reason we bring our children to Mass is to meet God, not as an after thought, but as the primary reason.

Alzheimer's & Marty: One year Later
Alzheimer's & Marty: One year Later
By Larry Peterson
It is now almost one year since my wife, Marty, was diagnosed as having Alzheimer's disease. The doctor gave us the news as we sat together. She acted as if she understood. She did not. I have told her that she has Alzheimer's disease and she tells me that she understands. She does not. What she does understand is that something is terribly wrong with her memory.

Is Knowledge really Power?
Is Knowledge really Power?
By Sherry Kenner
What did Adam and Eve do? They wanted to be like God and so they ate the forbidden fruit. Who was telling them the truth? Of course, it was God Who Is the Truth. They were given everything, and still they yearned for more. Man turned away from God’s truth and innocence. The sad part is that thousands of years later, nothing has changed.

We Have To Eat His Body?!?
We Have To Eat His Body?!?
By Jean Briese
“We have to eat his body?!? “ Allie turned to me with eyes open wide and a face of shock and surprise. She just turned eight, and she has been sitting in Mass hearing these words, “TAKE THIS ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY BODY, WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU”, since she was a baby. But now at eight, she is showing signs of a new maturity.

Josh Duggar and where is everyone going?
Josh Duggar and where is everyone going?
By Susan Burtka
If Josh Duggar (famous Reality TV character of 19 Kids and Counting) would have died last year, prior to all the scandal that's been exposed about him, there would have been plenty of "Christians" reassuring Anna Duggar (plus 19 more) that they now have an "angel" to watch over them from Heaven.

Dear God - we are never alone.
Dear God - we are never alone.
By Dom Perry
A prayer for Cancer patients, and their care givers. Look at my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten your law.

We are consumed with your pain, we are suffering with you.

Openness to life and "Danny's Song"
Openness to life and "Danny's Song"
By Emily Allen
I was blessed to have a beautiful model of married love growing up. The Loggins and Messina tune known as Danny's Song was not a stranger to our home, and I fondly remember my parents exchanging hugs, smiles and knowing looks whenever it played on the radio. I now do the same with my husband, and he places a loving hand on my expanding belly.

Are You An Amusing Catholic?
Are You An Amusing Catholic?
By Greg Schlueter
It was Dominic’s inaugural ride at Cedar Point. As the Millennium Force clicked it’s way up, higher and higher, scenes of his 9 years of life must have been flashing before his eyes. Just before the dramatic descent, all surrounding counties surely heard a little boy shouting from the top of his lungs, “Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee…”

Every Wind Of Doctrine
Every Wind Of Doctrine
By Mike Bugal
The funny thing about doing a series like this is that I find I have so much to that what started out as 3 articles has now become four. But there is so much to say about my time as an Evangelical Christian and the events that over a period of time led me closer and closer to the Catholic Church. For me to give it a paragraph would neither be accurate nor informative in such a way that others are

Pope Francis: Pride, Humility and the Gospel of the Day After
Pope Francis: Pride, Humility and the Gospel of the Day After
By Larry Peterson
Pope Francis has gone back to Rome. Sigh--I miss him. I live in central Florida so the closest he ever got to me was probably about 330 miles away and that was in a foreign country, Cuba. The closest I got to him in the United States was when he traveled to Washington, D.C. which is over 900 miles away. No matter, I do miss him. His gentle, kind and loving face was all over the TV screen since l

Living the retreat experience
By Paul Couturier
In the 1960’s through at least the 1990’s (and beyond in some places), weekend retreat experiences and their follow-up programs became popular in many Catholic parishes, and were a tremendous source of spiritual growth for many Catholic adults.

What Does A Black Crow Have To Do With The Movie Tomorrowland?
By Peggy O'Flaherty
Have you had a chance to see the movie Tomorrowland? In it, the main character, a young heroine, repeats a story back to her father, in his moment of defeat, a story he told her during her childhood. In the story there are two wolves: one is darkness and one is light. “Which one wins?” she questions him. After a pause she continues, “The one you feed the most.”
