Analysis of a Conversion, why I left the Catholic Church - I had a dream

When I was very young, I had a recurring dream. I guess I was around 5 years old when I first remember having the dream. The dream was that I could “fly”. It wasn’t real flight. It was more like the “Flying Nun” type of flight. I had this dream about three years before the show came on the air,... (www.catholic365.com)

Contemplating God's Amazing Love, Compassion, and Forgiveness

As we are made in God’s image, we are called to do the same. But what does this mean? As a parent, I have been upset with a child, but of course still tend to their needs, their comfort. That’s easy. But what of others outside of our families? Do we have compassion for those who have wronged us... (www.catholic365.com)

Happiness is what we need

It seems as Advent is a time to repent and celebrate the coming of our Christ. However, over the last ten years it has become a time of year I dread. People are cranky. People are fighting with the checkout clerks, that is, if you are lucky to have one. People are fighting over getting the latest t... (www.catholic365.com)

'What are we to make of Christ?' There is no question of what we can make of Him, it is entirely a question of what He intends to make of us. You must accept or reject the story.

To believe in the Resurrection is to believe in the future fulfillment of God’s grace, is to understand that the suffering of the present is as nothing compared to the future glory to be revealed in Christ Jesus, is to guard in God’s name what has been entrusted to me until that final Day, which for...

Is "Positivity" Hurting the Pro-Life Cause?

"The truth will set you free.” These are the words of Jesus, but are some of us afraid of the truth...or at least some truths? Unplanned pregnancy is one of the toughest issues facing us today, but a well-intentioned exclusively positive approach might be detracting from the true and beautiful messa... (www.catholic365.com)

If you want God to hear your prayers, hear the voice of the poor.

Is my home a house of prayer? There certainly are “thieves” that we can let in that can take us down a very different road from one of prayer. We too often offer a litany of excuses instead of a litany of prayer. “I’m too busy, too tired, too frustrated, too angry, too bored, too everything to pray.... (www.catholic365.com)

Romans 10 vs Protestantism

Frequently, Protestants will say that Romans 10:4 supports the doctrine of faith alone. However, for anyone who is steeped in the Sacred Traditions of Jesus Christ which are the bedrock of the New Testament, the Teaching of Rom 10 is very clear and it has nothing to do with justification by faith a...

Man makes plans and God rejoices!

“Man makes plans and God laughs”. I had posted about this on my Facebook page once before and I feel that it bears repeating. I’ve heard this saying many times throughout my life. However, I’ve recently started to become skeptical about this saying.... (www.catholic365.com)

Find [The Whole] Truth

Veiling used to be the norm when external Catholic culture soaked the world in which Catholics lived. When that culture disappeared, so did the props for a great many practices that had lost their significance or been abused so much that they took on a negative connotation for some folks, man and w...

Peace and Joy Possible in This World, Too

Let’s be honest, the primary reason Christianity is so attractive is the promise of eternal life. Jesus said that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will receive everlasting life. What a wonderful offer.... (www.catholic365.com)

Hopefully everyone good enough to read this blog has an idea what “sola scriptura” means. It is the idea that belief should rest on the written text of the Bible alone, and that things which are not mentioned in the Bible should be discarded from belief.... (www.catholic365.com)

Remember that there is only one important time and it is Now

Jesus wept over a city that had rejected him. God had visited his people and they did not recognize him. Jesus wanted to give the city an eternal Today of peace. But it was not to be. Sadly, the city would have future Todays but those Todays would see the tragic destruction of the city Jesus loved s... (www.catholic365.com)

Here is How the Bible PROVES that Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant

Protestants tend to downplay the role of Mary in salvation history, emphasizing that the New Testament does not focus on her too much. Exalted titles for Mary, such as the "Ark of the New Covenant" appear to them as distracting from the centrality of Christ, and probably even blasphemous. But... ... (www.catholic365.com)
