TOTALLY NOT THERE!
TOTALLY NOT THERE!
By Elizabeth Thomas
Led by that Inner Voice, I went back to work as a private duty nurse. I am caring for two clients that need TOTAL care because they are physically unable to do anything anymore.

We are Justified by Faith Alone and Made Righteous
By Dan Baca
The title of this article comes from a statement made by a Calvinist who attends a Baptist Reform Church with whom another Catholic apologist and I are holding discussions currently.

Contraception and Homosexual Activity: You Can't Have One without the Other
By JP Nunez
We Catholics get a lot of flack for our Church’s teaching on contraception, even from other Christians who stand with us on most disputed moral questions (such as abortion and homosexual activity). Even conservative Orthodox and Protestants usually have no problem with contraception, so on this issue, we stand almost entirely alone against (quite literally) a world of criticism.
