The Semantics of Bishop-Elect Robert Barron
The Semantics of Bishop-Elect Robert Barron
By Michael D. Greaney
On Tuesday, July 14, 2015, Father Robert Barron, a popular Catholic media figure, published an article in the National Catholic Register, “A Prophetic Pope and the Tradition of Catholic Social Teaching.” Commenting on Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’s encyclical on care for humanity’s common home...

The Darkness: Our Catholic Moment of Opportunity
The Darkness: Our Catholic Moment of Opportunity
By Greg Schlueter
What a couple of weeks for Catholics. We share God's heavy heart. The Supreme Court presumed to reduce nature and marriage to one's feelings. Planned Parenthood was found harvesting and selling body parts. New stats suggest the Light to be all the more obscured. Less than 25% Catholics attend Mass. Only 13% pray before meals. Most worship more at the altar of pop culture.

There is a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in
There is a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in
By Jeffrey Battiston
In his song, Anthem, Leonard Cohen uses the refrain, “There is a crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in.” Whatever else Leonard Cohen had in mind when he coined that phrase, it says something about how wisdom, compassion, and morality seep into our lives.

God is Faithful
God is Faithful
By Crysaly Aviles
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Thus Will I Test Them
Thus Will I Test Them
By Elizabeth Thomas
You may not want to read this blog if your closet is so crammed you cannot find anything to wear: or if your garage so packed, the car does not fit in. Or, if your makeup drawer has makeup 10 years old, or you need signs directing you to the rooms of your house—in your house.

But What Does It Really Mean?
But What Does It Really Mean?
By Joni Johnson
Over the past several weeks, I have read various articles concerning the appropriate response to the United States Supreme Court’s decision regarding gay “marriage.” There is quite a large body of information, and many great ideas on how to show love in spite of disagreeing with a lifestyle.

Not Fond Of Jane, BUT...
Not Fond Of Jane, BUT...
By Barbara Golder
It was one of those Internet forwards one gets from good friends exercised about one thing or another. I got it from several sources and it was old news about Jane Fonda. It came on the heels of a particularly meaningful encounter with a priest who is both friend and mentor. It has made them stop and think, differently, in a small but significant way.

No Es Bien
No Es Bien
By Michael D. Greaney
The Honorable Evo Morales, President of Bolivia, caused a bit of a stir recently by presenting Pope Francis with a crucifix made in the shape of the communist hammer and sickle emblem. As interpreted by many people, the pontiff’s response sent mixed signals.

Planets, Dr. Seuss and Snowflakes-Combined Proof That There is a CREATOR
By Larry Peterson
Nine and a half years ago NASA's New Horizon spacecraft left our humble, little planet and began its voyage to to the edges of our solar system and beyond. After traveling 3 billion plus miles New Horizon finally passed Pluto, the furthest planet from our sun.

Pope Francis' Message is Romans 14
Pope Francis' Message is Romans 14
By David Vermont
I, like many people, love Pope Francis. He’s talking a new talk and walking a new walk. But the truth is what he’s saying really isn’t new. It’s more a case of what is old being new again.

We are saved by faith and works, in a manner of speaking
We are saved by faith and works, in a manner of speaking
By De Maria
Catholic doctrine says: ...we are therefore said to be justified gratuitously, because none of those things that precede justification, whether faith or works, merit the grace of justification. (Trent VI, Chapter VIII) Therefore, it is true, that we are saved by faith and works, but only in a manner of speaking.

Are You A Hypocrite for Being Pro-Life and Anti-Birth Control?
Are You A Hypocrite for Being Pro-Life and Anti-Birth Control?
By Arnold Scott
The excellent social commentator Damon Linker at The Week has struck again. He honestly evaluates the recent revelations of Planned Parenthood videos and how some liberals are, ridiculously, instead focusing their outrage on the death of a lion. His August 4 column is worth reading:

3. What if the Founders Got it Right, Even if They Were Wrong? A closer look at the American Idea
3. What if the Founders Got it Right, Even if They Were Wrong? A closer look at the American Idea
By Teddy Pierce
One of the most popular arguments against the American idea is that the Founders sucked. Nowhere else is this asinine argument made more cliché than in that timeless classic of our age, Dazed and Confused. To quote the severely misguided history teacher, Ginny Stroud, as she addressed the graduating class of 1976

In the first of a series of undercover videos released last month by the Center for Medical Progress, Planned Parenthood’s Senior Medical Director Deborah Nucatola talks with people posing as representatives of a fetal tissue procurement company as she eats lunch.

Tale as Old as Time
Tale as Old as Time
By E.M. Wilson
So today I got to thinking that the movie Beauty and the Beast can be used as a perfect metaphor for why I find it so difficult to defend the faith sometimes. Just to be clear this is not an admission to shortcomings in Catholic doctrine- quite the opposite in fact.

The Labyrinth of Life - A Reflection
The Labyrinth of Life - A Reflection
By Kim-Thérèse Lee
Even though life may seem hard, with no direction at times, remember that even if we feel we have lost our way, we only need to turn to God to ask Him to lead and guide us by His Holy Spirit, because He has the full picture, and the map to show us the right direction, according to His Will and His plan for us. Trust in God, and Seek Him at all times!

Forgiveness in a non-forgiving world
Forgiveness in a non-forgiving world
By Tess Shore
Every day, especially in America, people are condemned for crimes that they commit or do not commit. We can talk about the big crimes of violence which may make the person end up in prison. However, this article is going to be about forgiving the crimes that do not constitute the legal system getting involved.
