Where is your joy?
Where is your joy?
By Troy Kroening
Do you have joy? And if so, where is your source of joy? Indeed, our greatest joy should be in Jesus Christ. In Jesus Christ, we see the depths of God’s love for us. We see our worth.

May There Be Unity in Our Church
May There Be Unity in Our Church
By Katie Zalany
More and more I see a divide in our Church. Liberals vs. conservatives. Religious sisters vs. priests. Lay vs. religious. Justice advocates vs. pro lifers. All I can say to myself is: I see and value both sides. I just wish we all could agree to live in a common unity within our Church.

Jesus Can Handle Our Burdens
Jesus Can Handle Our Burdens
By Bill Dunn
The Fourth of July. Independence Day. It was Saturday, July 4th, when our parishes here in Connecticut had their first public weekend Masses since early March. It was a wonderful experience.

"Sense and Sensibility": What Jane Austen can teach us about emotional chastity
"Sense and Sensibility": What Jane Austen can teach us about emotional chastity
By Sinclair Cushmore

By Bill Dunn
There are many misconceptions about Christian doctrine. One of the most pervasive fallacies is the idea that Jesus taught nothing but love and forgiveness, but afterward a bunch of intolerant, mean-spirited Church leaders added all that hell-fire and brimstone rhetoric to scare folks and keep them in line.

The Role of Original Sin in the Homosexuality Debate
The Role of Original Sin in the Homosexuality Debate
By JP Nunez
I once got into a discussion with someone about the following Catholic teaching on homosexuality: This inclination [being attracted to the same sex]...is objectively disordered. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2358) The point of this teaching is that since homosexual activity is sinful, same-sex attraction is therefore an inclination to sin, and that can’t be anything but disordered.
