Book Review of Cardinal Burke's Hope for the World: To Unite All Things in Christ

Before I began reading Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke’s 2016 book Hope for the World: To Unite All Things in Christ – An Interview with Guillaume d’Alançon (published by Ignatius Press), I was uncertain of what precisely to expect. However, I was not uncertain in what could be misconstrued as a “wary” w... (www.catholic365.com)

The Ten Commandments Partitioned: Protestant or Catholic Way? Daniel 7 will Help

In Daniel 7, I always wondered the apocalyptic meaning of the ten horns of the fourth beast. Three of them are uprooted and in their place comes up the little horn. It is greater than his other fellows and utters proud boasts and blasphemies, with eyes like a man and a mouth like a man, persecutin... (www.catholic365.com)

Sequel to "Are You Ready"?

It's been almost 17 months to the day since we were astonished when Fr. Mike came into St. Jude’s on that glorious morning, vested and ready for Mass while we were giving thanks to God for the amazing transformation from a time of disillusionment, fear, and almost hopelessness from enemy forces taki...

Why Do I Write?

Why Do I Write? This is perhaps a very poignant question since some have inquired about my efforts to put on paper my thoughts pertaining to God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and the feeling of an infinity towards expressing what I deem as God’s way of allowing my gifts received at ordination to exp...

Sin will take you farther than you wanted to go, keep you longer than you wanted to stay, and take more than you were ever willing to give.

Jesus Showed His Emotions

[This week’s gospel reading at Mass chronicles the amazing miracle when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. This event takes up most of chapter 11 in John’s Gospel.

Pope Gelasius, 49th Pope

Gelasius, son of Valerius, was a Roman citizen of African descent, very possibly Berber. If he was born in Africa, it would have been before the Vandal takeover in 439, or else he would not have been born a Roman citizen. Gelasius was an ordained priest and acted as secretary for Pope Felix III, wri... (www.catholic365.com)

Yes, God Communes With Infants

Theoretically, we all readily concede that the Mercy of God is available to everyone, from the richest to the poorest, from the most educated to the illiterate, from adults to small children.

Commitment and Trust

Mythmakers of ancient England described a monster in the shape of an emaciated cow called “Chichevache” that ate nothing but faithful wives. The British let that bit of lore fade away as silly, but the Irish menfolk, who kept a tight rein on their wives, couldn’t relinquish the myth that provided a ... (www.catholic365.com)

There's never been an act done since the beginning, from a kid stealing candy to a dictator committing genocide, that the person doing it didn't think he was fully justified. That's a mental trick called rationalizing, and it's done the human race more harm than anything else you can name.

Saint Thomas More said that no heresy is all falsehood. In a similar way, there is no sin that does not have either a good object as its goal, or an intention that is believed to be good. Of course, subjectively believing an intention to be good does not make it objectively good.... (www.catholic365.com)
