Leaving the pews of the Church, withholding monies from the collection baskets, demanding that the bishops resign their posts; including the Holy Father.

Pope St. Stephen I—He defined the Sacrament of Baptism and it Stands to this Day
By Larry Peterson
If we could travel back in time to the middle of the third century we would quickly discover the Catholic Church, although fraught with differences from today, had many similarities to our modern day, 21st-century church. There was plenty of hierarchical infighting going on and the politics of leading the Church was in flux.

By Dan Baca
On July 29, 2018 Fox News did a story concerning a Gallop Poll (i.e., https://news.gallup.com/poll/232226/church-attendance-among-catholics-resumes-downward-slide.aspx ) that found Catholic Mass attendance continues to drop.

Betrayal, Deception and the Love of a Mother
Betrayal, Deception and the Love of a Mother
By Susan Skinner
It is said that Judas stopped believing in Jesus during the Bread of Life discourse. A lot of disciples stopped believing then. It is interesting to note that it is John 6:66 that states “as a result many of his disciples returned to their former way of living.” It is this betrayal and rejection of Christ, that is later marked with those same numbers in the Book of Revelation,

A Call to Perfection
A Call to Perfection
By Ralph Hathaway
How many would be quick to voice their joy at seeing one of their great-grandchildren praying at church or doing grace before meals? How much more would you be elated if this child was 3 years old?

(But, you know, he didn’t look a day over 145!)
