The Cultural Communists and Our Church
By E.M. McCarthy

Is your spiritual life a simmering ramen or instant noodles?
Is your spiritual life a simmering ramen or instant noodles?

Speak Up, Lord – I Can't Hear You!
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F

Waving Our Freak Flag: The Proper Use of Catholic Traditions

Dogs Are Stupid.
Dogs Are Stupid.
By Greg Schlueter
Ok, in spite of being technically true (relative to humans), I don't really think owning a dog is stupid. But I do have some strong words for our disordered, dog-worshiping culture.

It Is Written
By Robert LaFleur
It is written that Jesus tells us that he will always be with us, walk with us. So there is no question or doubt as to that statement. So what is the problem? The real question is, if you will be willing to walk with Jesus? Are you the one that tends to go off on the path of your own choosing?
