How We Start the Sacraments Course

When Anti-Christianity Coops Social Justice
When Anti-Christianity Coops Social Justice
By Patricia Hershwitzky, Ed.S
Worldly “social justice” often contradicts the cardinal virtue of Justice and its intended fruit.

I Believe in God Because the Planets Don't Colliode
By Virginia Rhys Anson OFS
Decades ago, while monitoring the college library with nothing else to do, I decided to read Aquinas’s proof for the existence of God. I will reveal that he nearly gave me a headache.

God is Outpouring His Spirit Like Never Before
