The Catholic Teachings On The Angels - Part 2: The Fall Of Satan
By Alex Brittain
God as a perfect and good Being did not create evil. As Goodness personified, it would be impossible for Him to create anything that is evil. And yet evil exists. But if God did not create evil, how does it exist? Is evil an eternal concept like good is?

What I Learned from the Early Christians about Spiritual Growth, Part 3: Human Effort Matters
By Carl Sommer

The Fathers made me do it...Part 1
The Fathers made me do it...Part 1
By William Hemsworth
Before entering the Catholic Church I had been an ordained Baptist and Lutheran minister. To say I was anti-Catholic would be an understatement. I believed everything I was told about the Catholic Church, such as they worshipped idols and were the whore of Babylon. One day I set out to prove that the Catholic Church’s claim of being the church Christ established was false.

Wave, Particle, Heat
By Barbara Golder
God made me a scientist long before He made me a Catholic. Too many people today see science as an alternative to God, as though if we just work hard enough and long enough and are smart enough we can figure everything out with no need for a Creator or Redeemer.

A Gospel Riddle
A Gospel Riddle
By Carol Ann Chybowski
The stories of Jesus and His disciples in John’s Gospel are some of my favorites, likely because I enjoy a good riddle. In verbal play, the surface meaning is generally not the only intended meaning. This double meaning is what makes the joke funny. It also provides further proof for my personal pet theory that the shortest Gospel readings pack the biggest punches,

Saints I Need - Now!
Saints I Need - Now!
By Diana R. Jenkins
Thanks to my first grade teacher, Sister Celeste, and her dramatic stories about holy people, I developed an early fascination with the saints. Once I could read well enough, I devoured every saint book in our school library and dreamed of growing up to be a martyr. Over the years, I looked to the saints for inspiration and turned to them for help.

Church in trouble? Then it's time to rejoice!
By Bill Dunn
A couple months ago my Archbishop listed some sobering statistics in the archdiocesan newspaper. He compared the current activity here in the Hartford Archdiocese to what was happening back in 1967. Here are the stark facts: there are 68-percent fewer priests now than there were in 1967; 82-percent fewer seminarians; 76-percent fewer students in Catholic schools; 84-percent fewer Church marriages;

A Connecticut Yankee in King Jesus' Court - part 8
By Bill Dunn
Jerry Francis was trying hard to be a gracious guest. The followers of Jesus had reluctantly agreed to let Jerry and his friend Benjamin visit their secret lodging place in the city.

Soul-Searching
Soul-Searching
By Tina Salloum
“What do you girls have to say for yourselves?” My best friend and I stood speechless as Mrs. L., our eighth grade religious education instructor who had recently prepared us for confirmation, probed us with interrogating eyes.

By Bill Dunn
Jerry Francis had hoped to arrive at Jesus’ tomb before sunrise. But it took two full hours of begging and pleading to convince Benjamin to join him, which in Jerry’s mind wasn’t so bad compared to the eight hours he had to plead with Benjamin on the previous day, Saturday, to remain in Jerusalem.
