How many kinds of Baptist Churches are there?

About twenty years ago, my daughter was having a ballet recital at a Baptist Church. They usually practiced at a gym near my house. And I knew where that was.

Recently, my husband and I traveled to Poland; we visited Auschwitz I & II. The latter is also known as Auschwitz-Birkenau. Until that trip, I didn’t realize the difference between the Nazi concentration camps and the death camps. The former were slave labor camps where crews of people worked themse...

Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.

Very few of us will ever find ourselves leading a nation (thank God!). And yet, many of us often find ourselves in positions of leadership.

The Pope Should Stay out of Politics!?

As no doubt everyone except perhaps an ice bound Eskimo is aware, Pope Francis just finished a visit to Mexico. As part of this, he came to El Paso, Texas, to celebrate Mass. El Paso is the largest city in Texas which sits on the border with Mexico, so from a strategic standpoint it made sense that ... (www.catholic365.com)

The Pope and Politics....

You know, I heard a long time ago that one shouldn’t mix religion in politics. I don’t want, nor do I normally speak on American politics. Neither party is truly representative of Catholic teachings, and none follow it very closely. That is to be expected.... (www.catholic365.com)

Those who teach by their doctrine must teach by their life, or else they pull down with one hand what they build up with the other.

Food for thought: What needs to be set asi... (www.catholic365.com)

All denominations are equal

"All denominations are equal" is something that I've heard time and time again, which is strange, because it's usually coming from someone telling me that Catholicism is wrong and whatever denomination they have, may not be one truth ultimately, but it's pretty much the closest to the truth as you c...

Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.

Jesus chose to take up the ordinary profession of his earthly foster-father Joseph, and worked with his hands, alongside the important mission of spreading the Gospel, precisely to teach us his kind of humility and devotion. On account of his humble beginnings. His own towns-folk took offense and re... (www.catholic365.com)
