Sunday Dinner Reveals Graces of Family Crosses
By Dean P. Johnson
A couple of Sundays ago, I was sitting at the head of our dining room table. It was one of those moments when you can almost step out of yourself completely, step away from what is going on around you, away from the moment, just to peek back in from an entirely different point of view.

Pope St. Eleutherius
By Debra Booton McCoy
Pope St. Eleutherius was a Greek, son of Habundius, born in Nicopolis, part of what is now Greece, some time after 100 AD. His name means "frank, honest, free-spirited". Whether that is his real name or a description of the man is unknown. Eleutherius was Bishop of Rome from about 175 to May 24, 189 AD. It is said that he was martyred at that time.

Hope and Healing After Abortion: God's Mercy Endures Forever
By Nancy Marie Murray
Pope Francis’s recent call for mercy and forgiveness for women who have had an abortion may have people wondering at this seeming change of Catholic Church policy.

Our Shepherd Among Us: Reminiscences and Reflections (Part One)
By Justin Soutar
Towards the end of last month, our Holy Father Pope Francis made his eagerly anticipated Pastoral Visit to the United States. Like those of his saintly predecessors—the cerebral trailblazer Paul VI, the energetic actor John Paul II and the scholarly gentleman Benedict XVI—Francis’ visit to America was an historic and memorable occasion that was shared and experienced by millions of Catholics

Be Saints
By Saoirse Godbout

The Debt I Owe
By Richard Maffeo
In May of this year, Pope Francis once again appealed to the Church for Christian unity. Like Saint (Pope) John Paul II, or Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI before him, Pope Francis recognizes the Satanic root of our division. Here is part of what Pope Francis said:*

An Introduction to the Five Ways of St. Thomas Aquinas, Part 12
By Bob Hunt
After the death of Thomas Aquinas in 1274, opponents of his teaching emerged almost immediately, especially among the Franciscans. His confreres among the Dominicans came to Thomas’ defense, joined later by the Jesuits, and for a great while these two camps defined the place of Thomas in Catholic philosophical and theological discussion.

He probably was born after the death of the last apostle, John, and probably after many of the people who had ever had the blessing to meet the Apostles.

By Dr. Susan Caldwell
Many Catholics argue about the answer to this question: Is contraception good or bad, a panacea or a poison? As a lifelong Catholic and medical doctor, my answer to this question has changed over time. I have always known that the Church says “NO” to the use of contraception. I haven’t always known, however, why the Church denounced this practice. Now I know the answer.

Protestant At Heart?
By Mike Bugal
I recently was involved in a discussion with another author on this website in which he proposed that two mutually exclusive religions (Catholicism and Judaism) are both true. He cited a statement by Cardinal Walter Kasper of Germany that the religion of the Jews today is salvific for them.
