Pope Francis' Family Coat of Arms
Pope Francis' Family Coat of Arms
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
Even though I get some gentle ribbing from my friends and family for my harmless, idiosyncratic habit, I stay watching television shows and movies until the last credit disappears.

The Scandal of God's Love
The Scandal of God's Love
By Judy Landrieu Klein
I sat at the dinner table of a friend recently and asked: “Do you believe that God loves you? Have you had a personal encounter with the love of God?” Much to his obvious dismay, he answered no. But his eyes, heart and voice were full of hunger to know God’s love. I want that, he communicated with ardent longing.

Capital Punishment - Condemnation to Hopelessness
Capital Punishment - Condemnation to Hopelessness
By Lorrie McNickle
I had the opportunity this week to sit down, one on one, with a convicted murderer. I didn’t know the man to be one convicted of such a heinous crime when I met him; when we decided to have a private discussion regarding his background for employment purposes

Defending The Faith!
Defending The Faith!
By Steve Reasbeck
The recent wonderful visit to the United States by Pope Francis, and the response to it, especially from the evangelical community, bought to the forefront the need for all of us, as Catholics, to have the knowledge to defend our faith. The sheer hatred toward the Pope, based on lies, myths, and comments taken out of context surprised even me.

The Synod on the Family, Conscience, and the Duty to Continued Formation
The Synod on the Family, Conscience, and the Duty to Continued Formation
By Birgit Jones
Disquieting words are dripping out of the leaky sieve that surrounds the Synod on the Family. We're hearing things like papal delegate Archbishop Blase Cupich's statement that people need to 'come to a decision in good conscience' when it comes to giving Holy Communion to those who are divorced and civilly remarried.

Somewhere, Over the Rainbow ...
Somewhere, Over the Rainbow ...
By Chris Cappannelli, EdD
In the wake of the Supreme Court decision affirming the legal (if not moral) right to same-sex marriage, millions of Facebook users took to the site, altering their profile pictures with “rainbow” filters or posting some other affirmation of their apparent support of this ruling. However, as a CATHOLIC, what should your response have been?

If I have faith, why do I need works?
If I have faith, why do I need works?
By Chris Boyer
Recently, during the visit of the Holy Father to the United States, I came across many social media posts from our Protestant brothers and sisters denouncing the concept of works being important for our salvation. The protests of the dissenters seem to largely center around a passage from the Letter to the Ephesians.

Are Free Markets compatible with Christianity?
Are Free Markets compatible with Christianity?
By Matthew Newsome
I recently had the privilege of attending a talk given by two economists, one Catholic, one Protestant, on the topic of whether free market economies are compatible with Christianity. Pope Francis has criticized the negative aspects of capitalism, and some of these criticisms were addressed during the presentation, including this oft-quoted passage from Evangelii Gaudium.

The Seven Problems of Kim Davis
The Seven Problems of Kim Davis
By Jennifer Elia
The biggest problem is it isn't a problem at all. I bet you thought I would rail against the Pope or stand up for gay marriage advocates who feel slighted by this meeting. The truth is we, as Americans, are making a common ant hill into Mount Everest.

Pope's Fiat
Pope's Fiat
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
Among the many images of Pope Francis that were captured by the secular media during his recent visit to the United States, there is one that seems especially to have captivated people’s imagination: the image of the Pope being transported in a Fiat.

Time to Sharpen Your Weapons
Time to Sharpen Your Weapons
By Sterling Jaquith
The internet has been a battlefield lately. If it wasn’t the way I connect with so many friends and family, I might be inclined to turn it off and leave it alone to avoid all the sadness. Abortion. Pope Francis hate. School shootings. Syrian refugees. Political fights. These wars are splashed on my screen and they make my heart so sad.

What in the World is a Synod?
What in the World is a Synod?

Anyone who has at least a rudimentary interest in the news and happenings around the Catholic Church has heard of the current Synod on the family. The actual title of the Synod is the Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops. This years Synod is actually Part II of the Synod that convened in October 2014.

Pope St. Anicetus
Pope St. Anicetus
By Debra Booton McCoy
Born in Emesa, Syria at the end of the first century, he came along at a time when most of the Apostles had already died. Anicetus was of the generation of leaders who had never met any of the original leaders of the fledgling Church.

What Is Dialogue?
What Is Dialogue?
By Mary Rivers
A simple enough question; it is more than just talk Pope Francis says, using Thomas Merton as an American example. Thomas Merton, a contemplative monk living in a hermitage in rural Kentucky, never –the- less dialogued with many thinkers world-wide. He dialogued with the farmer living next door, the driver who sometimes drove him to Louisville, the monks of the Orient, the editors of his papers,

The Church and Authority: Part 1 One Visible Church
The Church and Authority: Part 1 One Visible Church
By Kevin Noles
In the comments section of my article Are Good Works Automatic?, Another person and I had a good spirited debate on works and justification. He believes his interpretation is authoritative and rejects the Catholic interpretation, which the Bible agrees with. .

The Domestic Church in the Global Village
The Domestic Church in the Global Village
By Michele Szekely
The domestic church is the family. It is the faith-life of the family. It is this invisible structure made of the love between each family member and between them and God. It is resting on the visible members of the family, but it is being nourished by the invisible energy of grace.

Families...Sometimes Plates Can Fly!
Families...Sometimes Plates Can Fly!
By Brigid Vacca
Pope Francis’s visit has been big news recently. And perhaps even bigger news in my house, where my oldest daughter was fortunate enough to be selected to attend one of the Holy Father’s services with a youth group!
