Christians Come Home!
Christians Come Home!
By Tom Collins
There is an organization called “Catholics Come Home” doing great work helping Catholics return to the Church. As Catholics, however, I believe we have a duty to bring all Christians home to the Church Jesus founded 2000 years ago. I believe most Protestants are very good people; however, they are following a form of Christianity founded on faulty principles.

The Doors! The Doors!
The Doors! The Doors!
By Bernice Pillart Dumitru
As Pope Francis opens the Holy Door for the Year of Mercy let us reflect on that symbol and enter into this time of great Grace. The Scripture begins with a closing of a door in Genesis and ends with Jesus standing outside that door and knocking in Revelation. The door symbolizes our free will before God.

Evidence for the Existence of God from Experience, Part 7: Martyrdom
Evidence for the Existence of God from Experience, Part 7: Martyrdom
By Bob Hunt
In all of human experience there is perhaps nothing so sublime or profound as the witness of one who is willing to sacrifice his or her life for the sake of the other, and for the sake of the Other Who is God. “Greater love has no man,” St. Paul said, “than to give his life that another might live.”

Pope St. Zephyrinus
Pope St. Zephyrinus
By Debra Booton McCoy
Zephyrinus was born a Roman in the middle of the second century. He reigned as Roman bishop from 198-199 to 217. Hippolytus, a rival, is our only extant source of biographical information on this pope. And much of it is probably exaggerated lies. Thus, he is described as a simple man without education who depended too much on his archdeacon.

A Year of Mercy?
A Year of Mercy?
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Young parents of a six month old baby murder fourteen and injure twenty-two. Eight men, an ISIS kamikaze terror squad, dressed in suicide belts and armed with AK 47's mow down over one hundred thirty and injure 350 at the Bataclan Concert Hall in Paris. To date, there have been 298 murderous attacks by religious extremists in this year which has not yet ended. Why a year of mercy?

The Day That Jesus Came To Visit

The Church and Authority: Part 4 Petrine Primacy (The Pope)
The Church and Authority: Part 4 Petrine Primacy (The Pope)
By Kevin Noles
There may be no bigger contention between Catholics and Protestants, besides maybe salvation, than the doctrine of the Pope. There are many different arguments against the Pope from Protestants such as “Petros only means pebble” or “Peter was never in Rome.” Unfortunately my desire to keep each article short (about 1,000 words) does not give me a lot of room to cover each issue,

Contemplating God's Amazing Love, Compassion, and Forgiveness
Contemplating God's Amazing Love, Compassion, and Forgiveness
By Dean P. Johnson
As we are made in God’s image, we are called to do the same. But what does this mean? As a parent, I have been upset with a child, but of course still tend to their needs, their comfort. That’s easy. But what of others outside of our families? Do we have compassion for those who have wronged us? And not just for those who may have wronged us personally, but those who we see on the news

Is "Positivity" Hurting the Pro-Life Cause?
Is "Positivity" Hurting the Pro-Life Cause?
By Therese Zepeda
"The truth will set you free.” These are the words of Jesus, but are some of us afraid of the truth...or at least some truths? Unplanned pregnancy is one of the toughest issues facing us today, but a well-intentioned exclusively positive approach might be detracting from the true and beautiful message of life.

The Church and Authority: Part 3 Apostolic Succession in the Church
The Church and Authority: Part 3 Apostolic Succession in the Church
By Kevin Noles
Whenever I talk about Apostolic Authority the typical response is something along the lines of “I believe in God’s authority not an authority coming from a man.” The nature of the Church’s authority is indeed God but a better way to ask this question may be to ask how the authority was given.
