The Art of Argumentation
The Art of Argumentation
By Aaron Henderson
For many today, “argumentation” is a bad word. It carries with it unsavory connotations, for instance, that the one who engages in argument is “not nice.” And this is seen as the greatest evil of our age, this lack of niceness.

Refugees, Regulations, and Righteousness
By Ross Decker
The world's a little bit crazy right now. I'm really concerned by the level of hate and vitriol demonstrated by the Anti-Trump people. Theirs is a movement that was once identified by the #LoveTrumpsHate hashtag and now is known by #notmypresident.

Prudence  Sister of Temperance, Fortitude, Justice
By Linda Kracht
St. Francis of Assisi forged one primary mission: “to wake people up to the reality of God.” (Bishop Barron, The Pivotal Players) This ought to be our mission as well and for many different reasons including each other’s welfare — physical, mental, and spiritual.

Being Choked by Thorns
By John Mayer
Recently I have been re-reading the Gospel of Luke and have been realizing a sobering and frightening reality creeping into my life. The Gospels are the words of joy and hope for everyone in all places in all times.

Shattering the Transgender Delusion
Shattering the Transgender Delusion
By Rob Agnelli
One of the hardest things for people on the Autism Spectrum Disorder is coping with the speed at which the world comes at them. Hyper-sensitive to stimuli most of us can ignore, they will try to control the world around them by inventing their own explanations of reality. Our youngest son does this often.

The Unceasing Call of Truth: seek it, embrace it, let the Love who is Absolute Truth transform your life
By Deacon Frederick Bartels
The call of Truth is unceasing and unquenchable. It cannot be permanently silenced but only suppressed briefly. Nevertheless, it is often feared. Stepping into the light of truth always requires change.

Faith is a two-way street
Faith is a two-way street
By Denise Deverts
The third Sunday in Ordinary Time brought us once again to Matthew’s account of Jesus’ call of the first disciples. When I hear Jesus’ words “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men,” I cannot help but be reminded of the old adage that weighs the relative benefits of giving a man a single fish against teaching him how to catch fish on his own.

Question: Why So Many Divisions in Christianity?
By Charlie Johnston
Let's take a look at the divisions that have appeared in the Body of Christ over the centuries. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but more of just a background to our current tens of thousands of Christian denominations.

Wresting Opportunity Out of the Jaws of Crisis
Wresting Opportunity Out of the Jaws of Crisis
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
The two words feel connected. Crisis and Opportunity. Despite the long-term error inherent in the claim that the Chinese character for crisis signifies opportunity, our own experience can reveal the law of contradiction expressed in the paradoxical relationship.

Catholicism As An Ethnicity
Catholicism As An Ethnicity
By Alexis Grace
Growing up as a Catholic teenager in today's society, I have noticed a somewhat disturbing trend among my peers. It takes "cafeteria Catholicism" to a whole new level and can be even more damaging to how the Church is represented: the identification of their Catholic faith as part of their ethnicity.

Questions Answered: Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Heaven
Questions Answered: Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Heaven
By Kevin Noles
Protestants typically have a difficult time with the titles of Mother of God and Queen of Heaven in reference to Mary. Each one I have spoken to seems to want to qualify the terms, to a certain degree this has merit, but they come off sounding accusatory towards Catholics.

To Fear or Not To Fear? That Is the Question
To Fear or Not To Fear? That Is the Question
By Bill Dunn
The Bible clearly says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Psalm 111:10). The Bible also says, “Fear not…I am your God” (Isaiah 41:10). Um, wait a minute. The Bible says we are supposed to have fear, and it also says we are NOT supposed to have fear?

We didn't go
We didn't go
By The Prayerful Pilgrim
During the March for Life in Washington, D.C., my family, like all the years we've been a family, was absent. I can honestly say I've never felt called to go, and for us at this moment, it's the right decision. If and when the time comes, we will certainly join with the thousands of other pilgrims and raise our voices in this yearly tribute.

The Church and the Lodge--Freemasonry and Catholics
The Church and the Lodge--Freemasonry and Catholics
By Rob Agnelli
With all of the tenacity of Sherman’s March to the Sea, all traces of the Confederacy in the United States are being wiped out. Flags are being removed from state capitol buildings, statues are being torn down and there has even been a call to rename the Dixie Classic Fair.
