Trusting In God, Praying Like Our Holy Father

Choosing Government over God has a Difference; One is Death, and the other is Life.
By Larry Peterson
The saga of Alfie Evans sickened me. Except for two overriding factors, his death was unnecessary. First, the feigned necessity of his death is embedded within the secular practicality of a 21st-century judicial system. Secondly, among many medical practitioners who lean on their own omniscient ability, it was in Alfie’s “best interests” to die.

Developing
By Dr. Anne DeSantis
I will never forget the day that Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was elected Pope: March 13, 2013. I was sitting in front of the TV just waiting like so many other Catholics around the world. I had watched all of the news broadcasts and read articles with speculations about who would be the next Pope.

Pope Francis, Money, and the Beggar with a Pewter Spoon
By Bill Ulivieri
Early on a Sunday morning I was preparing for an interview on Catholic Talk, Relevant Radio ® and scanning the news feeds and noticed a headline story mentioning Pope Francis who said “…Christians must denounce sins committed in the name of money and power.” (1) The story appeared on April 15th, the day we usually meet the deadline for submitting our tax payments to the IRS.

The Heresy of Annihilationism: Why is Hell Forever?
By Scott Pauline
In regards to the release of the new Star Wars "sequel," I must admit that since my profound reversion to Catholicism in the mid to early nineties, I don't take much interest in science fiction or fantasy as I have had at previous times in my life.

POPE ST. GREGORY I, THE FIRST MEDIEVAL POPE
By Debra Booton McCoy
Another man born in disastrous times who went on to be a pope is our subject today. Roman senator named Gordanius and a wealthy woman named Silvia were Gregory’s parents. Silvia’s great grandfather was Pope Felix III; her three aunts entered the convent; thus, the family home was very politically and religiously involved.

The Work of Christ and Human Freedom
By William Hemsworth
Within the course of salvation history there have been many questions about the work of Christ and the role of the human freedom, or free will. There has been no shortage of theories, and Church history shows that there have been many heresies from those trying find a synthesis between the two.

It is I myself (Luke 24:39)
By Deborah Burton
The Lord promised to be with us “always, until the end of the age” (Mt 28:20, NAB, emphasis added). These scripture verses came to mind on January 17, 2018 during my 9 to 10 pm Holy Hour at our Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration chapel.

Did Jesus Appear to His Mom after He Rose from the Dead? The Gospels never mention it.
By Larry Peterson
The gospel read at the Easter Vigil is from Mark 16: 1-7. In this gospel, Mary Magdalene and Salome have gone to the tomb to anoint Him. This is when the angel appears to them, and tells them He has risen and to go and tell His disciples.

Did you Know that there are 24 Individual Catholic Churches in union with Rome?
By Larry Peterson
The proper way to refer to the Roman Catholic Church under the jurisdiction of Rome is simply, the Latin Church. That is because there are millions of Catholics who are not part of the Roman Catholic Church. But they belong to THE Catholic Church and are subject to the Pope.

The Sunshine and the Clouds: Five Years with Pope Francis
By Justin Soutar
This past March 13, we celebrated the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis's election to the papacy. I recall five years ago watching EWTN's live broadcast of the conclave proceedings in Rome, where on a cold and rainy late winter evening, white smoke poured forth from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel and we were all surprised by the cardinals' choice of Jorge Mario Bergoglio

POPE PELAGIUS II, THE SECOND OSTROGOTH POPE
By Debra Booton McCoy
Born in Rome around 520, Pelagius was the son of Winigild, most likely an Ostrogoth. He succeeded Pope Benedict I months after the latter’s death. At that time, the Lombards from north of the Alps had gone as far as to blockade Rome and most of the main roads leading from Rome into the empire.

The Beauty of Love
By Flávia Ghelardi
True love has an indescribable beauty. Overcomes all suffering and is capable of accomplishing the deepest longings of our soul. Do we really know this kind of love? Have we experienced it? Is it possible to live it in our society that is so individualistic and utilitarian?

During Lent and Women's History Month, Read Pope Francis's "Mother Mary: Inspiring Words" – A Book Review
By Justin McClain
As a lay Dominican with a strong affinity for the Rosary, I look forward to every opportunity to highlight the remarkable role in salvation history of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as the Mother of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are thankfully in an era of popes with a great deal of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
