Praise God! Our Mother is Cleaning House!!!
Praise God! Our Mother is Cleaning House!!!
By Janet Moore
It has been crushing to read the horrific reports of Cardinal McCarrick's predatory abuse, the grand jury report of the 1000 abused in Pennsylvania over the last 70 years, and now, to read the Testimony of Cardinal Vigano, in which he names people very high up in the Church, including Pope Francis, as complicit in allowing Cardinal McCarrick's predatory abuse.

POPE BONIFACE V, THE MILDEST OF MEN
By Debra Booton McCoy
Boniface Fouminios was born around 575 in Naples, at that time part of the Byzantine Empire. He appears to have been of Greek extraction, which was very common at that time in the southern part of the Italian peninsula.

Pope St. Stephen I—He defined the Sacrament of Baptism and it Stands to this Day
Pope St. Stephen I—He defined the Sacrament of Baptism and it Stands to this Day
By Larry Peterson
If we could travel back in time to the middle of the third century we would quickly discover the Catholic Church, although fraught with differences from today, had many similarities to our modern day, 21st-century church. There was plenty of hierarchical infighting going on and the politics of leading the Church was in flux.

The Duty to Avoid Scandal
The Duty to Avoid Scandal
By Anthony S. Layne
I’ve already written elsewhere on the recent kerfuffle over the CCC 2267 rescript. In light of the recent scandals—in fact, in light of the last 16 years—I submit that CCC 2489 also needs some clarifying revision.

Lord....forgive us
Lord....forgive us
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
We have failed. As a Church, as Christians, as Catholics, as followers of Jesus we have failed. Lord Jesus forgive us our failures, forgive us our sins, forgive us for not being your hands and feet to the world.

An Occurence at Dublin Castle (A Satire Story)
By E.M. McCarthy
A limousine pulled alongside the grand stone castle. An old man exited, his white uniform and cap blown in the the August breeze. Gasoline from the fleet of security vehicles flavored the air. “Welcome to Dublin Castle, Holy Father.”

Following the Successor to Peter
Following the Successor to Peter
By Anthony S. Layne
I never marked the day on the calendar. I’m not even sure what year it was, although I’m almost positive it was before I moved from Nebraska to Texas. I do know that I was, to paraphrase Ambrose Bierce, of the faith in the sense that the church I wasn’t going to regularly was Catholic.

Death Penalty; Abolish it Now!
Death Penalty; Abolish it Now!
By Ralph Hathaway
The first thing I want to do is commend Pope Francis on his courage to call for the ancient and most inhuman act of violence we have accepted, to end. No doubt this article may bring contentious comments from some who advocate keeping the death penalty on the books and to look the other way saying; “this will deter heinous crimes”.

POPE ADEODATUS I
POPE ADEODATUS I
By Debra Booton McCoy
Unlike the stable environment of today, most popes of the first millennium only lasted a few years. Between politics, plague and poisoning, the life of a pope was not an easy one.

The Child Separation we should be fighting against
By Rose Cuervo
(A doctor-friend wanted to share this in the light of the extreme abortion on demand bill in NY State.) I have handled human bodies and remains as a pathologist and this includes that in the earliest stage of life.

What if?
What if?
By Katherine V Urquidi
This last week marked the 50th anniversary of the encyclical Humanae Vitae, written by Bl. Pope Paul VI. It was written as a repudiation of contraception and abortion, but the tone of the encyclical was decidedly more pastoral than doctrinal. What if doctrine had been stressed over pastoral matters?

The Seven Apocalypse Letters Revisited: a Renewed View of the Ages of the Church
By Scott Pauline
We have come a long way. We started by gazing at the sacred hand of Our Lord, holding the mystical seven stars. We asked ourselves, can this be merely seven literal early church Christian communities in Asia Minor?

Not Devaluing The Person And Sex Is The Gift Of Humanae Vitae
By Rose Cuervo
Listening to the talk of Fr. Donald Haggerty in the July 21, 2018 Immaculate Conception Church’s conference celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Humanae Vitae made me somber on two points but I will get to that later.
