Raising Children Detached from the World
Raising Children Detached from the World
By Jennifer Elia
Though I practice, more or less, attachment parenting, I have really strived to teach my children to detach from the world. However, it took a radical outlook change of my own for them to learn the lesson. We live in a very small home (700 sq ft) and a few years ago the clutter was becoming overwhelming.

What is a Christian Mindset?
What is a Christian Mindset?
By Mary Annthipie Bane
As Christians we are called to set our minds on the things above and not be focused and driven to the things of this earth. We are to store up our treasures in heaven and to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Lifeboat Theology
Lifeboat Theology
By Deacon Vernon Dobelmann
Do you see the world as a sinking ship on its way to judgment and hell? Are you grasping for the lifeboat? I have heard numerous comments expressing sadness at the direction our country is going. One person said to me, "It is futile to fight in the culture war. We have lost." One blog post title even lamented that, "Marriage is dead and so is the Church."

The Church & Human Sexuality
By Matthew Newsome
Like most secular universities, the school where I serve as campus minister offers a wide range of classes, from forensic science to European history to psychology. A couple of years ago two of my campus ministry students were taking a psychology class on “human sexuality."

How Come You Catholics Ignore Jesus' Words and Call Men "Father"?
How Come You Catholics Ignore Jesus' Words and Call Men "Father"?
By Bill Dunn
“How come you Catholics call men ‘father,’ in direction violation of Jesus’ command: ‘Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven’? This is just another example of Catholics following man-made traditions and ignoring the Word of God. That’s why you’re not real Christians!”

Baptism: Part 1 Born Again the Biblical Way

Religion & Politics
Religion & Politics
By Matthew Newsome
It is common to hear the opinion expressed that religion has no place in politics. I hear these sentiments expressed by my religious and non-religious friends alike. My strong suspicion is that what people mean by “keep religion out of politics” is that we should not legislate morality.

Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?
Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?
By Mallory Hoffman
Together, St. Francis and his friars would travel through towns and the countryside, preaching the gospel. A stigmatist, a healer, a man who preached to the birds who listened to him, a miracle worker, and he lived in peace. He resisted many changes to his order. When they were approved, he became very sad and depressed. His peace left him.

Laudato Si' Challenges Liberal and Conservative Views on Nature
Laudato Si' Challenges Liberal and Conservative Views on Nature
By Nathan Barontini
Let me guess. You’re a Catholic, but your views on “the environment” are drawn more from your political affiliation than from Church teaching. If so, Pope Francis’ new encyclical Laudato si’ will challenge you, whether you’re liberal or conservative.

On Justification
On Justification

A Restless Heart
A Restless Heart
By Erika Wehrly
I am the kind of person that likes to keep busy. When I'm at work, my best days are the one filled with so many tasks I may not complete them all by the end of the day. At home, I tend to keep busy with must do tasks, such as buying groceries or doing the dishes. If no must do tasks are available I will usually go to entertainment.

A Life of Love
A Life of Love
By Marie Kelly
I grew up in a culture of divorce. My classmates witnessed the pain of divorce and some of them lived through the experience of their parents’ divorce. I often heard the expression thrown around, “we fell out of love.” This gave me the impression that love was fragile, fickle and fleeting. As a result, I got the impression there were limits to love. After many years of living a chaste lifestyle,

Let Go Of Fear: Pope Francis on Mercy

Keeping the Faith, the True Faith, in our Secular Society
Keeping the Faith, the True Faith, in our Secular Society
By Lorrie McNickle
There have been some pretty monumental decisions made in this country recently. Decisions that have caused many of us Christians to lament and seemingly lose hope. This “lack of hope”, and therefor lack in our trust of God, to me is even more distressing than any decisions that a Supreme Court of a country could ever make.

Relativism: The Bermuda Triangle to the Moral Compass
