Is That Man You?

Our surveys of events reveal a major challenge to men... and parishes. Among these audiences of highly motivated "church" men, most recognize the importance of living it out in their homes (90%+).

If you say there is no such thing as morality in absolute terms, then child abuse is not evil, it just may not happen to be your thing.

Today, we live in a world of convenient relativity and loose interpretation. There are many ways around rules, and people have grown lax, even in their faith. It's easy to understand why.

Bring forth the Old and the New; concerning Baptism

You see, when I need to find something, I always say, “Babe, where are my old boots?” Or “Babe, have you seen my new tablet?” And she brings them out. My kids rely on her as much as I do. So, who’s the “head” of my household? Hmm? So, anyway, let’s see if we are good scribes who can bring from ... (www.catholic365.com)

When you forgive, you love. And when you love, God's light shines upon you.

On the other hand, when we think about dispensing mercy to others, more often then not we think like St. Peter in this gospel passage – how many ... (www.catholic365.com)

Have you had the inexplicable feeling that you should be doing something…but you don’t know what?
