Outside the Church there is no salvation

Catholics believe that The Church is visible, spiritual and founded by Jesus. This is a mystery of the faith. The Word of God tells us this otherwise there would be no way to understand this through reason. If we were to say that there is no salvation outside Jesus, all Christians, Catholics incl...

church not Church...right?

The Christian Church is both visible and invisible. What does that mean? It means that there is both an unseen reality of the Church, which unites us by our baptism to our Lord Jesus Christ and there is a very real, tangible dimension to the Church that Jesus established on earth....

A Moving Story. An Open Letter to Iowans. (Why Marco Rubio)

St. Mun's the Word

St. Mun. With a name like that, you’d expect there would be nothing about him. And you’d be right. St. Mun lived in Ireland in the 5th century and his uncle was St. Patrick. His feast day is February 5. That’s it. The whole shebang on Mun summed up in two sentences.... (www.catholic365.com)

Image and appearance tell you little. The inside is bigger than the outside.

In the Gospel, Jesus and the disciples are walking through a field, and some of the guys pick some grain. The Pharisees complain that they are breaking the Sabbath laws by working – harvesting grain. Jesus says that even David, when he and his companions were hungry, ate the offering bread.... (www.catholic365.com)

I agree with you, Bobbie

I agree with you, Bobbie. There’s no magic to the word, Catholic. If any Catholic thinks they can do whatever they want and still be saved, they have another thing coming.... (www.catholic365.com)

We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves, otherwise we harden

In Jesus' time, new wine was put in jars or wineskins (usually tanned goat skins). When wine is fresh, it is in a state of fermentation, causing it to bubble and expand and released gases. These gases cause the new and pliable wineskin to stretch and enables it to absorb the expansion of the new wi... (www.catholic365.com)

When I get the chance to talk about my faith, I often start by disclosing that I am a "recovering Pelagian." This serves two purposes: 1. It lets me show off that I have some theological credentials (though it doesn't do much for my humility.) 2. It gives the a launching pad for demonstrating that I... (www.catholic365.com)

Is our God Humble?

Over the past few years as I have taken steps to deepen my knowledge and understanding of our Faith, one thing has really stood out. It is the idea of humility. It seems to me that without humility, our Faith is unreachable, and God becomes much more distant and difficult to access.... (www.catholic365.com)

Everyone needs a Mary

I do wish everyone had a mother as loving and selfless as I do. When Brian and the bigs were in Rome, mom stayed with me to help with Mary Alice and Riley. She could have gone on the trip with my dad and brother, but she stayed. She helped me keep my sanity and made sure we took adventures. We ate l... (www.catholic365.com)

Miracles From Heaven

When you take a look at faith through the eyes of a child, it’s so different than an adult’s. It’s innocent. They believe what they see in books, what they hear from others, and what they learn. They see Jesus as a man dressed in white with a long brown beard. They know heaven as a place in the sky ... (www.catholic365.com)
