Defending Christ Amid Chaos
By Rexcrisanto Delson
On March 4, 2016, four Catholic sisters belonging to Blessed Mother Teresa’s order, Missionaries of Charity, were among the sixteen peopled murdered by terrorists in Yemen. The news prompted a widespread reaction by both secular and faith-based media. On Sunday, March 6, 2016, Pope Francis told an audience the sisters “gave their blood for the Church,” and said they are modern-day martyrs

From March 25, 2016 - April 2, 2016: Bringing (which?) Souls to Jesus
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
Although there are different kinds of prayer, if you are like me, you spend a lot of time asking the Lord for this or that special favor, which isn’t a “bad” thing. For the Lord Himself said: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be

How to Explain Mercy (and Good Friday) to Children
By Grace Mazza Urbanski
Working with children (and raising a batch with my husband), I've picked up a few critical pieces of information about how children learn. For example, children require simple explanations in terms they can understand instinctively. Children also have little patience for information or activities that seem irrelevant to their concerns; they learn new concepts best when they can relate to the topic

Vote Catholic?
By David R. Myers
If you are Catholic and have a few years under your belt (I have 58 so far), and if you have had at least a passing interest in politics, you know that religion comes up for discussion and rather frequently when it comes to elections. When I was very young, it was the presidential election of John F. Kennedy that really brought religion and in particular Catholicism to the forefront.

The Magisterium has Only Officially Interpreted Seven Verses!
By Kevin Noles
I have read/heard this accusation a few times. Usually bandied about by the same person but there are a fringe few who say it as well. I find it rather sad because it shows an ignorance of what the function of the Magisterium is.

The Tenth Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
“Jesus is robbed of His garments.” In the Tenth Station, we commemorate one of the many unjust humiliations that Our Savior suffered for us on His way to Golgotha. How many times have we experienced various unjust “robbings”? How many times have we been the victim of offences and negligences to our persons, our relationships, and our properties? For example…

Pope Saint Cornelius
By Debra Booton McCoy
Pope Fabian was martyred by the emperor Decius on January 20, 250. The persecuction of Christians was extreme for the next fourteen months, and the Chair of Peter remained vacant. About March, 251, the persecution lessened, probably because Decius was away, trying to fight his new rivals, the Goths

In the Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Stations, Jesus receives help and consolation—and gives counsel and consolation-- as He makes His way to Golgotha.

During this Year of Mercy, when there continues to be so much bad news about the economy and stock market. I want to offer readers a small Lenten gift of hope: an economic outlook steeped in "mercy" and faith.

The Prophetic Voice of Humanae Vitae
By Deacon Vernon Dobelmann
Watching the folks from NARAL flip out over the Doritos commercial during the Super Bowl is a sure sign that the pro-life message is being heard and that the scientific proof offered by an ultrasound machine is indisputable. Who could have known that a commercial for a snack would evoke such a visceral response? NARAL has accused Doritos of humanizing the fetus. What has become of our culture?

Responses to liberals – Part 2
By Paul Couturier
It’s been far-left-wing liberals who’ve taken legitimate Church practices and taken them far beyond what is prescribed in Church Law, taking advantage of vaguely written rubrics, administrative procedures, and guidelines, and twisting them to suit their own agendas.

Pope Saint Fabian
By Debra Booton McCoy
As with so many of the other popes we have written about, the sources of information are few: The Liber Pontificalis, written by a number of unknowns over the centuries and compiled in the 1500s, and Eusebius' The History of the Church, written in the fourth century. All other sources are not complete or are written to enhance the images of these men, and may not be accurate.

Why We Should Read (and Heed) Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill's Historic "Joint Declaration"
By Justin McClain
In case you missed it, history was made on Friday, February 12, 2016, when Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church met in Havana, Cuba. This meeting, which was in conjunction with Pope Francis’ visit to México, was historic because it was the first of its kind since the East-West Schism

The Pope Should Stay out of Politics!?
By David R. Myers
As no doubt everyone except perhaps an ice bound Eskimo is aware, Pope Francis just finished a visit to Mexico. As part of this, he came to El Paso, Texas, to celebrate Mass. El Paso is the largest city in Texas which sits on the border with Mexico, so from a strategic standpoint it made sense that this was the location the Holy Father chose.

The Pope and Politics....
By Steve Reasbeck
You know, I heard a long time ago that one shouldn’t mix religion in politics. I don’t want, nor do I normally speak on American politics. Neither party is truly representative of Catholic teachings, and none follow it very closely. That is to be expected.

The Pope, Donald Trump and Building a Wall
By David Vermont
The Pope speaks and almost inevitably there is controversy. But amid all the responses, analysis and photos of the wall that surrounds Vatican City posted to Twitter, one should take a moment to ask … what did the Pope actually say and is it really all that controversial? Let’s take a look.
