The big mistake "Me Before You" makes

The film and its advocates will try to argue that Me Before You is a story about loving someone despite the choices they make, and so the story is beautiful and worth your time, but they are missing a bigger picture. What is beautiful? What is good? What is true? Not this story.... (www.catholic365.com)

(not so) Satisfied

Last weekend's gospel came from Saint Luke, and it has been on my mind all week long. It's a familiar reading. Even as a Protestant, I heard it over and over. I dare say even the non-religious type knows the story of the loaves and fishes. Jesus feeds the five thousand with five loaves of bread ... (www.catholic365.com)

If we were to gain God's perspective, even for a moment, and were to look at the way we go through life accumulating and hoarding and displaying our things, we would have the same feelings of horror and pity that any sane person has when he views people in an asylum endlessly beating their heads against the wall.

What kind of tenants are we? Those who work hard or those who get annoyed when the master sends his servants to collect the rent from us?... (www.catholic365.com)

I want to peer deeper into the wall.

In my work with families at risk, I’ve been in homes with major electrical problems. One trailer had no running water and only one working electrical plug. I would have had to make a report to Child Protective Services after the baby was born but that was taken out of my hands... (www.catholic365.com)

Convert for Jesus

What's that truth on why you should become Catholic or that truth that will affirm your Catholic Faith? Well, that is the Eucharist.

Theology of the Body Extended Again: Christ's Crucified Feet, an Analogy

Our feet walk the Way of Jesus, the Way of truth. Our feet are meant to walk in the path of the way. The way is lit by the truth. Christ is the truth! Hence, why shouldn't the details of Jesus' crucified feet reveal deep specificity of the truth of Christ, manifested in five great fountains, as the ... (www.catholic365.com)

A Reflection of Eternity…

At the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, on the far western edge of the old city, rises the centuries-old Alcázar of Segovia, Spain, with majestic splendour. Jutting from a rocky crag above the confluence of the Clamores and Eresma Rivers, it has defied the elements and time itself, its soaring silhou... (www.catholic365.com)

Pope Saint Caius, Encourager

Knowing our own history makes us value it more. To know the history of the Church makes us value her further. Even those people who are far into the depths of anonymity should be brought to the surface and looked at, however briefly.... (www.catholic365.com)

What Makes Us Human Makes us Beautiful

What is a human being? I know, this sounds like a silly question, but take a moment and try to answer it. If we take the prevailing knowledge of the day, we will get answers that are just as confused as the ones I receive from the students whom I present this question to.... (www.catholic365.com)

He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well — even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.

This Gospel is asking us to think what our intentions are when we go to meet Jesus. Some go without faith, without recognizing His authority: this is why, «the chief priests, the teachers of the Law and the elders came to him and asked, «What authority do you have to act like this? Who gave you auth... (www.catholic365.com)

The First 3 Joyful Mysteries: Analogy of all Human History?

Matthew 16: Catholic vs. Protestant

The primacy of Peter is perhaps one of the strongest points of contention between Catholics and non-Catholics today. Since the Protestant Reformation in the 16th Century, a plethora of interpretations have developed surrounding the famous passage of Matthew 16:18-19, where Christ declares that Peter...

Forgiveness Is Awesome, But Sin Still Hurts

At Mass this weekend, all three readings have the same theme: God’s forgiveness. In the first reading, the prophet Nathan confronted King David.

A Case of Mistaken Identity

I’ve read many remarks from readers both of my articles and those of other authors here. One comment in particular that has caught my attention is the Facebook posters who will make the angry comment, “I’m not going to read this site anymore.
