JUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONER
JUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONER
By Patti J. Mitchell
Have you determined who to vote for yet? Are you saying to yourself, “I don’t know which way to go.”? Maybe this statement will help. IF YOU CHECK A BOX, PULL A LEVER, OR FILL IN A BUBBLE FOR ANY DEMOCRAT, YOU ARE COMPLICIT IN THE KILLING OF AN INNOCENT CHILD. You will be a party to playing judge, jury, and executioner of the most vulnerable – telling that precious angel he/she is not worthy o

Anti-Semitism and Anti-Christianism----Equal Partners in Dispensing Hate
Anti-Semitism and Anti-Christianism----Equal Partners in Dispensing Hate
By Larry Peterson
I was born and raised a Catholic. The Jews were those other people. Yes, I know, Jesus and Mary and Joseph and the apostles' et al. were all Jewish. The truth is, as a youngster, I never cared about that or even thought about it. I guess I looked at them as converts, and we have lots of converts. Since I am a long way from my younger days, I have learned that genuinely believing what you say is n

I Vote Catholic
I Vote Catholic
By Dan Baca
I have a personal situation I need to share. I am a full-time Catholic. I don’t bring out my faith on Sundays for Mass and try and be something else during all other times. I am sure many Catholics are in the same situation.

Lost and Found
Lost and Found
By E.M. McCarthy
Ally hadn't been there too long when she heard the man's phone ring again. Her white face mask shifted off of her nose. She pulled on the string to tighten it. Her thin, brown hair got caught, so she moved it again, which allowed at least chunks of hair to fall so she could keep her mask steadfast. She was glad she had it on, she was never good at bluffing.

The Rules of Love:  The 10 Commandments
The Rules of Love:  The 10 Commandments
By Troy Kroening
This may seem absurd to some. How can a bunch of ‘thou shalt nots’ be considered the rules of love? Being so old, they may seem outdated. But I do not think the problem is that they are too old, but that they are not adhered to. When we teach our children how to live, we give them rules. Do this, but not this. In fact, we are giving our children rules to live by, but also rules to love by

Are You Following a ‘False Version of Jesus'?
Are You Following a ‘False Version of Jesus'?

The other day I read an article on a Christian website that discussed “false versions of Jesus.” Here are some of those false versions of the Lord that people embrace nowadays:

Love Is Not Homogeneous
Love Is Not Homogeneous
By Dan Baca
The word “love” is one of the most over used and generic words in the English language. I can say I love to fish, and also say I love my wife and children. When I attend Mass I frequently hear the homilist say that God loves us and right after Mass, I can say that I love to go to the stadium and watch my favorite college football team play. So, the question is; what is love? The answer is that

No matter the tortures, Jesus would not turn from His Father.  Will you?
No matter the tortures, Jesus would not turn from His Father.  Will you?
By Troy Kroening
In the agony of the garden, Jesus asks “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me.” He sees His Passion before Him, yet He continues, “still, not my will but yours be done.” [Luke 22:42] He did not want to accept His Passion, but He would not separate Himself from His Father to do so. He lives out the prayer He gave us by submitting His will to ‘thy will be done.’

The Covid-19 pandemic has dominated the news over the past few months, as everyone well knows. It is hard to find anything not affected by the shutdowns and the social distancing rules.

When life begins to matter
When life begins to matter
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
Black lives matter, Latino lives matter, Asian lives matter, LBGTQ lives matter, Blue Lives Matter, all lives matter. In this “cancel culture” we are living in we are bombarded with phrases, protests, and politicians taking a stand on one side or the other. It seems there is an increasing pressure on the Church to take one side or the other.

Cafeteria Catholics
Cafeteria Catholics
By Ralph Hathaway
Cafeteria Catholics. This is a term hardly used since it enables those who are too Orthodox in their thinking to put others down who need to express their own feelings or consciousness of Church teaching.

The New York Times are A-Changing
The New York Times are A-Changing
By Bill Dunn
I recently read a book about the D-Day invasion of Normandy, one of the major turning points of World War II. On June 7, 1944, the day after D-Day, the New York Times ran a lead editorial, which read in part, “We pray for the boys we know and for millions of unknown boys who are equally a part of us….We pray for our country.” Then the editorial said the cause for which the U.S. military was fighti

The Mystery of Redemption in the Parable of the Sower: The Communion of Saints
The Mystery of Redemption in the Parable of the Sower: The Communion of Saints
By Scott Pauline
It has been a long journey in allegory over the last few months, namely, the developments of the theology of music. Too, my ideas on allegory have been long growing, and now something so mind-blowing has happened that I must be going crazy. What happened over about two months ago is utterly insane.

The Four Sacraments Liberals Don't Like
The Four Sacraments Liberals Don't Like
By Scott Pauline
Our world is inundated with extremes, isn’t it? Liberal and conservative; rich and poor; technology and simplicity; machismoism and hyper-feminism; absolutely no birth control, then pills and barriers up the wazoo; comfortable computer desks and hard-core, back-breaking mine grime; no end in sight. However, the big contrast of our modern day is clearly the supreme poles of our current culture:

Putting up With Another When "It's Personal"
Putting up With Another When "It's Personal"
By Kevin J. Banet
Is disliking someone unavoidable, or do we just learn to love in spite of it? This week’s chat room discussion centers the age-old issue of loving people in spite of their actions; or as it is commonly put: “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” Traverse this difficult topic along with the chatters, and navigate your way towards a better way to respond to this issue in your own life.
