Articles in 'Theology'
Sweet Land of Liberty
By Nancy Marie Murray
Whether in print or conversation, when it comes to matters of faith and conscience, I seem to possess a talent for annoying people. Whether it’s a liberal relative, a nonbelieving friend, or an anonymous reader, you name ’em, I’ve irritated ’em.

The Freedom Papers - an Introduction
By Teddy Pierce
This article is one in a series titled, "The Freedom Papers," a work dedicated to sanity. Therefore, may it be a thumb in the eye of mainstream media, subjective science, lazy religion, agenda philosophy, lobbied politics, elitism, and those that would abuse mankind with them. Imagine this scenario..You go over to your friend’s apartment to hang out. He has a huge penthouse overlooking the city,

Which God Do You Believe In?
By Pat McDermott
If we are all Catholic don’t we all believe in the same God? Well yes, and no. Let me explain. In my spiritual readings I often come across a thought or two that sends me into a whole new thought process than the writer was on. In one reading the author referred to the God in the Bible verses the God alive within us. He then went on with his point.

Thoughts About the Supreme Court Ruling on Same Sex "Marriage"
By Tom Ponchak
Here are few random thoughts and reflections to consider about the Supreme Court’s decision on same sex marriage. All people regardless of sexual orientation, regardless of behavior, are created in the image and likeness of God. Jesus Christ took on flesh, suffered, died, and rose from the dead out of love for each and every one of us. He commands his followers to unconditionally love others.

Beyond coolness. The concept of gelâzenheit in Meister Eckhart
By Josef Bordat
On the one hand, Meister Eckhart’s concept of gelâzenheit (or Gelassenheit, as spelt in modern German) is a key to his philosophy. On the other hand, Gelassenheit is a key-concept in our times. It’s trendy to be relaxed. There are a lot of seminars for managers and decision-makers intending to learn how to become more relaxed in a world of rush and trouble, to become gelassen.

"Gender Fluidity" - "Opt-Out" Is a Joke (Installment #3)
By Melanie R. Cameron
This is the third installment of my “Gender Fluidity” posts. I live in Fairfax County, Virginia. In March, 2015, we were surprised by a notice that the public school board would vote on May 7 to include “gender identity” in the list of nondiscrimination policies.

And What About the Children?
By Larry Peterson
The headline of the Tampa Tribune this morning (Saturday, June 27) was emblazoned with huge, bold letters that read, "Pride & Joy". The Tampa Bay Times shouted, "A Right For All". The Supremes have spoken and their decision is in the books. According to the headlines, the world is rejoicing. I just wish someone could tell me about the children. What about the children?

Immodest Swimsuit Shows Too Little!
By Greg Schlueter
It's that time of year. Clothes are down to a minimum. It's an occasion to revisit a recent Facebook conversation: "SI Swimsuit Edition. Lust is the sport. Women are made objects. Men are made predators. Everyone loses. Literally and figuratively. Don't buy it." Amidst likes and positive comments, I was appreciative to have the dominant, cultural view represented

Jesus Reversed the Curse
By Bill Dunn
In our culture, we are often told that “death is just a part of life,” and that “death is perfectly natural.” These statements are told to us by many wise modern philosophers, including animated cartoon characters from that old Disney movie “The Lion King,” who explain that we are all a part of the great “circle of life,”

7 Ways God has Equipped Us to Live in the World (and How They Ended up in a Fantasy Novel)
By Mishka Góra
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a cradle Catholic or a convert. None of us is immune to straying. I know this more than most. I converted over twenty years ago, but I spent six of those early years without the sacraments. They were dark times, and I myself didn’t know how I ended up there.

"Gender Fluidity" and the Language Contrary to Catholic Teaching (Installment #2)
By Melanie R. Cameron
Last post, I introduced how Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia had proposed sweeping changes to the curriculum as a result of a vote to include gender identity in the nondiscrimination policy list. I wish to boil it down to a very simple statement: There is a very distinct difference between nondiscrimination/inclusiveness and indoctrination.

Steak and Intimacy
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
There is a harmful attitudinal trend that has begun to stretch along many generations and is very disconcerting. It has to do with sex and intimacy—so if you’re squeamish, stop reading now (or 9 words ago, depending on how squeamish you are). I’m not sure how we got to where we are with this topic—sure it’s all over books, TV, movies, music, etc.,

Receive The Holy Spirit
By Lori Conklin
People hurt us, they say mean things, do things that cause us great physical and emotions pain, and then walk free; as if they did nothing at all. We all have met these people, they are our acquaintances, neighbors, friends, and family members. We are bombarded daily with stories of people who are hurting other people. Yet Our Lord gives us this command at Pentecost!!!!!

The Latest Craze--Calling on Satan to "Come Out & Play"
By Larry Peterson
Satan is the Great Impostor, the King of Lies, the Master of all Hate. He was God's greatest angel and decided that he was even better than God. So, the "created" tried to overwhelm the Creator. Having made this choice he and his followers were cast out of God's world for all eternity. We mortal beings cannot even imagine the hate that fills these fallen spirits.

Happy Father's Day!
By Renee Oania
I was sorting through my school work and came upon two journal writings from my English Class. Thank you, Father always being there for my sister and I. Also, teaching us to have an open heart of trusting God and thanking Him daily. Amen!

Sorting Issues With Sexual Sin
By Kim-Thérèse Lee
Sexual sin, in all its forms, whether that be premarital intercourse, masturbation, pornography, entertaining impure thoughts etc. is becoming more and more common, especially among the younger generations. It is consuming the minds and bodies of the young, causing them to be so blinded by it that they fail to see many of the unspoken consequences of sexual sin.

Welcoming the Stranger
By Erika Wehrly
I recently visited the Hawaiian island of Kauai. I am a Catholic, so naturally I wanted to attend a Catholic Mass when the weekend rolled around. I was delighted to find quite a lot of Catholic parishes on the island and my sisters and I settled on the 5pm Saturday night Mass at St. Catherine's.
