The Papacy
By Sergio Garibay-Olivares
In this article I will focus on the important topic of the Papacy which will include: Biblical proof of the Papacy, as well as other writings before 300 AD that show evidence that the Early Christians believed in the Papacy (the Supremacy of Peter).

The Gissendaner Conundrum ...
By Chris Cappannelli, EdD
This past week, the State of Georgia put Kelly Renee Gissendaner, age 47, to death for her role in planning the murder of her husband, Douglas, in 1998; she was the first woman put to death in the state since the Second World War, and one but a handful of women across the country put to death since the return of capital punishment to the U.S. in 1976.

The Martian and Pope Francis
The Martian and Pope Francis
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Despite the admittedly strange correlation, The Martian and Pope Francis, there is a striking parallel between the most unusual movie adapted from novelist Andy Weir's self- published novel The Martian and the many speeches made by the Pope during his whirlwind tour tour last week. The power of the person

Irregular Priest
Irregular Priest
By Michael Ripple
I don't want to have parish council meetings, plan weddings, or worry about a cemetery and parish school (few that are). I've always been clear on those above points. But the one thing I miss? Praying and celebrating Holy Eucharist and hearing Confessions. The one thing that probably is needed more than ever in this world.

Pro-life vs Anti-Abortion
Pro-life vs Anti-Abortion
By Paul Couturier
Every October, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops designates this month as “Respect Life Month”, where special emphasis is placed on the protection of all human life, though this is something as Catholics we should be doing every month of the year!

Why Did Pope Francis Meet with the Lawbreaker Kim Davis?
Why Did Pope Francis Meet with the Lawbreaker Kim Davis?
By Arnold Scott
The visit of Pope Francis to the United States was one of the biggest media stories in a long time. Given how few members of the media are actually observant Catholics, what explains all the glorious attention and reverence he has received? One reason is that our culture has an insatiable appetite for celebrities and the Pope is certainly a global celebrity.

Would You Die for Your Faith?
Would You Die for Your Faith?
By Lorrie McNickle
An associate of mine declared this week in the wake of yet another school shooting, that if someone were going to shoot her for being a Christian, her religion would suddenly change. Another associate agreed and said that she didn’t think God would want that for us; he would not want us to die that way.

So the Pope met Kim Davis
So the Pope met Kim Davis
By E.M. Wilson
So the Pope met with Kim Davis. And everybody is freaking out about it. And quite honestly, I love the sentiment from non and anti-Catholics who feel betrayed. “Omg I thought Pope Francis was cool and it turns out he’s going to stand with Catholic Church doctrine that unequivocally states that marriage is between a man and a woman. Boo! Hiss!

The Rosary - The Immense Power Within Our Grasp!
By Janet Moore
What do nuclear warfare, satanic priests, and serial killers have in common? What about corrupt and evil governments usurping the rights of its people, and horrific, unjust wars wrought upon Christians by radical Muslim forces?

The Need for Hospitality - According to Pope Francis
The Need for Hospitality - According to Pope Francis
By Linda Kracht
The World Meeting of the Families (WMOF) renewed my energy, enthusiasm and love for the Church. But it also exposed a weakness that many Catholics share with the rest of humanity. This being the lack of hospitality toward those who remain disenfranchised, marginalized, or poor. Why do I say this?

The Church Is A Kingdom, Not A Democracy
The Church Is A Kingdom, Not A Democracy
By Alex Brittain
“We have to respect other people’s opinions.” “I am entitled to my opinion.” “My opinion is just as valid as yours.” You have heard these before, have you not? You have heard these in personal discussions and have likely seen these on Facebook and on other internet message boards. You may have even said these things yourself.

Pope Francis visits America; the aftermath!
Pope Francis visits America; the aftermath!
By Paul Couturier
By now, Pope Francis has gone back home to Vatican City and in a few short weeks will be preparing for Christmas. So what did Pope Francis accomplish during his visit to the US? Was he treated fairly by the secular news media? Did the Church in the US get a spiritual jolt from his visit?

Pope Francis and the Bishops: Navigating Stormy Waters ...
By Chris Cappannelli, EdD
I am slipping this piece in during what has been, thus far, a hellacious first week of doctoral studies at St. Thomas University here in Miami; that said, I did not want my observations regarding the Holy Father’s recent trip to America to slip too far down the ladder as to become irrelevant in the ongoing discussion as to it’s localized and wider implications.

Tu Es Petrus
Tu Es Petrus
By Mike Bugal
Pope Francis’ recent visit to the United States and his speeches delivered before a joint session of Congress as well as his homilies have upset a good number of American Catholics. Many are saying that he should stick to spiritual matters and not express an opinion on subjects such as Climate Change, Immigration and the care for the poor. Their remarks reflect more upon the condition of the Churc

Our Mission is Love
Our Mission is Love
By Mariel Roersma
For the past week, I've been watching the various events that Pope Francis was at. On Facebook, and during the Pope's visit, one common theme was love. Love is our mission. It is why we are here. It was why God created us. It should be what we are trying to do every day of our lives.

Pope Saint Pius I
Pope Saint Pius I
By Debra Booton McCoy
The reign of Pope Pius I (140-154) showed that by the mid-second century, Rome was the center of Christian faith and culture. The concept of a group of presbyters running the Church was gone and the pope was the go-to guy, so to speak, for all things Christian. Pius I was accepting visitors from Gnostics, borderline sects and well-known apologists from around the Mediterranean.

Politics of the Common Good
Politics of the Common Good
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
The word politics has gained an almost entirely negative and pejorative meaning when used by many of us in these days of scandal, corruption and greed. Perhaps there was a time when politics as noun or adjective meant something other than a snipe but not in my lifetime. And so it was with great interest that I read the text of Pope Francis’ address to Congress.
