If Children, Then Heirs
If Children, Then Heirs
By Lindsay Gray
I can’t speak for the gentlemen, but most women you’ll meet will admit to have wished at least once in their life that they were royalty. It’s not uncommon for a little girl to want to be a princess. She’ll act like a princess and loved ones will treat her like a princess, often telling her that—in their eyes, at least—she is a princess. Then the adults will walk away smiling at the child’s naivet

The Persecuted Church
The Persecuted Church
By Nancy Marie Murray
Christianity seems so commonplace in this country that many forget how truly radical Christian beliefs are. The very idea of God becoming man so scandalized the once glorious angel Lucifer that he rebelled against God, too proud to worship Christ in the lowly guise of a man. Even now, Lucifer rages against Christ’s followers.

Top 10 Things I Didn't Know About the Church
Top 10 Things I Didn't Know About the Church
By Lora Wilson
The Catholic faith is true in its entirety. Cultural or cafeteria Catholics (like I was) are missing out on the beauty of the whole tapestry by embracing some aspects of the faith while rejecting others. The Old Testament prophesies are fulfilled in the New Testament. Our religion is compatible with both faith and reason.

Praying to Saints
Praying to Saints
By Victor S E Moubarak
For years on end the discussion as to whether it is right for Catholics to pray to Saints rages on. So let’s all join in and see if we can clear the confusion a little. Those who accuse Catholics of wrong doing seem to focus on two points in particular; there are others; but let’s concentrate on the main two points.

The Scapular?
The Scapular?
By Bernice Pillart Dumitru
“Whosoever dies wearing this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire.” This promise was made by our Lady of Mt. Carmel when She appeared to St. Simon Stock and gave him the scapular, asking him to spread the practice of wearing this Sign of belonging to HER. She literally promises those who wear this scapular with faith and love that they will go to heaven!! I don't take HER words lightly...

Jesus Reversed the Curse
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,”

Why I'm Still Catholic (And Why Other People Aren't)
Why I'm Still Catholic (And Why Other People Aren't)
By Anabelle Hazard
My grandmother celebrates 100 years of being a Catholic. She will most likely be a Catholic till her last breath as all my other grandparents were. Me? I’m a mere forty-year cradle Catholic. I own that it hasn’t been easy to remain a faithful daughter of the Church, particularly during my turbulent twenties. There was a period I disagreed with, questioned, and criticized Holy Mother Church.

Thank You, Lord, For Putting Up With Me...
Thank You, Lord, For Putting Up With Me...
By Rosemary Bogdan
I acquired an iPhone last Fall. I confess that I really did not like it in the beginning. In fact, I declared that I hated it. Yes. I claimed to hate it. Pretty strong words, even from someone as opinionated as I am. Then I lost it.

Evangelization Elevator Speech
Evangelization Elevator Speech
By Allison Welch
It’s an interesting premise: You encounter someone new to the area and they are looking for a church. They know you’re Catholic but they don’t know anything about the Catholic Church, so they ask you what the Catholic Church believes. What will you say?

A Connecticut Yankee in King Jesus' Court - part 5
By Bill Dunn
Jerry Francis and his companions had done very little so far this day. They mostly sat around the cramped, smelly room in the boarding house and discussed recent events. They mostly discussed Jesus.

The Rest of the Story
The Rest of the Story
By Lori Conklin
On the fateful day that sin entered the world, mankind lost more than our unobstructed relationship with God, we lost the ability to eat from the tree of life and live forever. Because Adam and Eve ate from the tree of Knowledge and have become like God, with knowledge of good and evil, they were not allowed to eat the fruit from the tree of life and live forever.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Jesus' Court - part 4
By Bill Dunn
Early Wednesday morning Jerry Francis and his companions, Benjamin and Simon the Zealot, left their smelly room in the squalid boarding house and walked through a maze of shadowy streets and alleyways in old Jerusalem. With each passing day since he arrived in this place, 20 centuries removed from his life in suburban Connecticut, Jerry thought less and less about home and more and more about the

We're not Crazy, we're just Catholic
We're not Crazy, we're just Catholic
By Al Vargo
Reasons why people think we're "crazy" - We like to keep Mass interesting. We seem to sit, stand and kneel, in no particular order. Probably just to keep the blood flowing.

Simplistic Paraphrasing of the Summa Theologica
Simplistic Paraphrasing of the Summa Theologica
By De Maria
t has always been a goal of mine to read the Summa Theologica. Sort of, on my bucket list, you might say. So, I thought, what if, as I read it, I also post my understanding for other students of St. Thomas Aquinas to read.

The Messages of Our Heavenly Mother, When Will We Ever Listen?
By Catholic365

The Heart Of Mary, The Heart Of The Church
The Heart Of Mary, The Heart Of The Church
By Bernice Pillart Dumitru

Saint John Eudes, the Father, Doctor and Apostle of Devotion to the Sacred Hearts says that , "Jesus Christ, the Heart of the Eternal Father, is the Heart of His Holy Mother." In the late 1600's, Saint John Eudes wrote about devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary decades before Jesus revealed His Heart to Saint Margaret Mary.

Questions
Questions
By Barry Cullum
We all have questions. Why is the sky blue? Why is the grass green, or at least it should be if I watered the lawn? Who will win the Stanley Cup? Did they really kill off my favorite character on that TV show (sadly they did)? All of these questions keep humanity moving forward in big and small ways. Most questions are trivial. They can be answered quickly with doing some simple research.
