How Busy Parents can become Saints
By Traditional Catholic Guy
Every parent knows the daily struggles and trials, devotion and love, broken bones and injured feelings it takes to fulfill their duty every day. I look back upon my own childhood, and I cannot admire my parents more for what they did for me and continue to do for my brothers and sisters..

The Science of Religion: God's Blessed Hologram
By Robert Italia
The faithful may bristle at the thought of using science to illustrate and defend religious tenets, but as the following column argues, science and religion are not the foes many perceive. If anything, secularism has co-opted science in an (unwitting?) attempt to disconnect man from God. So here’s CRISTOFORI’S DREAM, my novel’s theory of everything. Perhaps there's a hint of truth in all of this

A Kiss Should Mean Something: The Proliferation of Contraception and Its Societal Effects
By Jason Izolt, M.Ed., M.A.T.
I was recently listening to an episode of Right Here Right Now on EWTN Radio. The host, Patrick Madrid, had a special guest, Msgr. Charles Pope from the Archdiocese of Washington on the show. They were discussing the proliferation of fornication in our society today. A couple of things struck me, which I would like to share.

The Practice of Public Prayer Takes...Well... Practice
By Dean P. Johnson
A few years back I had taken my family, all seven of us, out to dinner. It was nothing elegant, just an all-you-can-eat buffet place with a really great selection of mostly debatable food on a Saturday evening. We don’t get to all go out to eat all that often. With five children, such a treat becomes cost prohibitive. However, I do enjoy cautiously splurging from time to time.

Respect all Life
By Anne Marty
One day on my way to the cemetery to pray for the poor souls, my youngest son asked me to stop in front of the local nursing home. He said "Let's pray for the imprisoned." Pope Francis recently stated the importance of taking care of the growing number of elderly people across the globe.

The Synod has Opened: Hello Media!! It is all about FAMILY.
By Larry Peterson
The secular media (print & broadcast) has been salivating over the Synod of Bishops that has officially opened in Rome. They have been pounding the drum about the birth of a NEW church filled with the progressiveness of the "modern, secular world". They have ignored the reason this Synod has actually been called together. HELLO media, the Synod is about Family.

Child Euthanasia—Another Secular Abomination Degrading God's Natural Law?
By Larry Peterson
I think that the plague of secularism that has engulfed the entire world possibly reached its optimal success last February. The highly civilized country of Belgium passed a law allowing children to choose to euthanize themselves.

Church Doctrine Concerning Marriage and Communion Cannot Be Changed By The Synod of Bishops
By Jason Izolt, M.Ed., M.A.T.
The Synod of Bishops which will be meeting October 5 - 19 is causing a lot of stir in both the media and in the pews. The media, doing what they do best, is causing a raucous in an attempt to get as many clicks, views, impressions or whatever other methods they use o drive business to their sponsors and thus increase their revenue.

You Bet I Want To Be Your Child's Godparent!
By John C Prejean Sr.
Somebody you know decides to ask you if you would be the godparent of their child. Most of us would answer emphatically "You bet I want to be your child's godparent!" However, it's not as simple as that.

An Interview with Kimberly Erickson
By Karl Erickson
Twenty-four years ago, I married Kimberly Erickson in Dallas, Texas. Coming from a family where her father and grandfather are both successful artists, I knew she was artistic. Still, the breadth of her artistic range never ceases to amaze me. She really has done it all in the past two decades: illustrations, water gilding, and, most recently, fused glass creations of vivid color and light.

My Mistaken Identity
By Norma Elaine Robertson
I was in a case of mistaken identity. I was desperately trying to "find myself" and would do what everyone else was doing. I thought I had to go along with what my friends were doing and act in the way that was like them.

Pope Francis Lover of Life
By Anne Marty
I was so touched by Pope Francis that I read eight books about him. I had seen how he bowed his head and asked for prayer. I wanted to learn about him. I have seen pictures of Pope Francis kissing handicapped people. He is meek and humble of heart. After being elected Pope he rode the bus back to the hotel.
