Coming out of the Darkness
By Susan Skinner
This is the story of my friend, Joshua Ridgeway. He came through our RCIA program last year. I post it here in his own words straight from his heart. I am so proud to have walked with him on this journey and I hope the Lord pours abundant blessings over him as he continues. Please keep him sincerely in your prayers.

The United States has a population of close to 330 million people. Of those, there are more than 74 million people who claim to be Catholic. 70 million are registered (signed in with a parish as members).

Holy Communion and (Catholic) Vice President Joe Biden
By E.M. McCarthy
I honestly like Joe Biden. He seems like a nice man. I felt sorry for him when I read about his first wife and daughter dying in a tragic car accident when he was young.

From SSA to Glory
By Terri Thomas
Do you know people who are dealing with Same Sex Attraction or confusion about their gender? Whatever you do, do not rob them of the chance to grow in grace and glory by advising them to put their cross down and not carry them in imitation of Christ. Do not condone disordered behavior out of misplaced sense of love or compassion.

Dear Father

Apocalypse
Apocalypse
By Susan Skinner
The post I am writing I feel is meant urgently. Urgently for us and urgently for Priests. I know I am not the only one who receives this message. Before I begin, I want to give a little background information of some things that have happened over the past couple of weeks.

The Call to Evangelization has been Heralded by three Popes and the Clergy. So how do we answer their Call?

Motherhood, Fatherhood and Calling no Man Father
By Susan Skinner

The Smoke of Satan
The Smoke of Satan
By Lorrie McNickle
Sometimes truth, fact and real life is crazier and stranger than fiction! Why wouldn't the effort and conspiracy to infiltrate and destroy the Church from within be any exception? The story of salvation is absolutely incredible and mind blowing if you take the time and effort to learn it.

You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek
By Susan Skinner
Recently I was saddened to read about a popular Priest who has asked to leave the Priesthood. I am not here to judge him and whatever his journey may have been that led him to this conclusion. That is for God to deal with.
