Reclaiming Our Faith and Our Tradition
Reclaiming Our Faith and Our Tradition
By Nicholas LaBanca
This has been bugging me for a while, and I guess now I finally feel the need to verbalize it (or at least type it, I suppose). Does anyone else grow tired of the fact that Roman Catholics (that is, Catholics of the Latin Rite) have been out of touch with their particular traditions, devotions and overall demeanor and expression of their faith?

Pope Saint Anterus

He was sent to his death in the mines of Sardinia along with Hippolytus, the writer and theologian, who had been his nemesis. Shortly before leaving, Pontian chose to keep the Church orderly by abdicating his position as the bishop of Rome on September 28 of that year.

Outside the Church there is no salvation
Outside the Church there is no salvation
By Kevin Noles
Catholics believe that The Church is visible, spiritual and founded by Jesus. This is a mystery of the faith. The Word of God tells us this otherwise there would be no way to understand this through reason. If we were to say that there is no salvation outside Jesus, all Christians, Catholics included, would agree.

Pope Saint Pontian
By Debra Booton McCoy
The Liber Pontificalis is a book of information on the early popes, written in the fourth century. It is not always perfectly accurate and, as archeology reveals more information, new books are published with updated details. I try to get the newest data for these blogs.

For most Catholics, Christmas season has ended, but there are many who keep the traditional Christmastide season alive until the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary on February 2nd. Such observances of the liturgical calendar are shared by Catholics who observe the extraordinary calendar and prefer to pray the Extraordinary Form Mass, also known as the Tridentine Latin Mass.

St. Michael, Defend Us in Battle
By Bill Dunn
Have you ever heard of the “Prayer to Saint Michael”? Many generations of Catholics recited this prayer at the end of every Mass. But beginning in the 1960s we stopped saying the prayer. (Hmm, we stopped doing a lot of holy and beneficial things beginning in the 1960s. Just sayin’.)

Domus
Domus
By Nathan James Rawlins
And so we know the world to be our common home, and like any other home we find the most useful observation to concern the family and the occupants of that home. If it is a mess, if there are clothes on the living room floor and dishes in the dresser drawer, we know who is to blame for the chaos of the environment, we know who is at fault.

Why Do Some People Hate God? Because God Has Rules.
Why Do Some People Hate God? Because God Has Rules.
By Larry Peterson
How did this principle of ethics and morality based on the Ten Commandments and Natural Law somehow become a pariah to so many? Why would anyone want to remove the words, "under God", from the Pledge of Allegiance or the name of God from our coins or government buildings? What has happened in America?

Is the Bible the Only Word of God?
Is the Bible the Only Word of God?
By Kevin Noles
First off, nowhere in the Bible does it say that the Bible is the sole, God-inspired source we have. This is a traditional construct of man which contradicts the Bible. The burden of proof lays with John on this. He must demonstrate that the Bible is the only source of the Word of God.

Our Lady Untier of Knots: A Personal Reflection
By Frank J. Maduri
In reflecting on the Feast of the Epiphany earlier today with the three kings finding the Child Jesus in the arms of His mother, Mary, I began my afternoon prayers. One of my routine practices in the past 18 months or more is to pray to Our Lady Untier of Knots. In my quiet contemplation today, I thought of how I was introduced to this new prayer devotion and decided to share it with this audience
