Hush.It Will be Alright

I heard her before I jogged around the corner. A long, slow, desolate cry. Blonde pig-tails, blue jeans, a long sleeve pullover shirt. She couldn’t have been older than four. She sulked in her driveway as Dad unloaded groceries from the van. He called gently for her to come inside.... (www.catholic365.com)

The Trinity Part 1

In this first part of this series, we will discuss the doctrine of the Eternal Son-ship of Jesus Christ. It's important to have a clear understanding of this principle.

Uniformity with God's Will

I am currently re-reading St Alphonsus Maria de Liguori's great work "Uniformity with God's Will". This is such a beautiful reflection and teaching on the importance of uniting ourselves entirely to the will of God.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Veteran's Lament

The morning mail brought a prayer card for those carrying their cross today. Mass would be said for all whose names I requested. I quickly filled the spaces with names too numerous for the sheet of paper provided. From memory of my youth came the following, quickly written, as if someone else was... (www.catholic365.com)

In May of this year, Pope Francis once again appealed to the Church for Christian unity. Like Saint (Pope) John Paul II, or Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI before him, Pope Francis recognizes the Satanic root of our division. Here is part of what Pope Francis said:*... (www.catholic365.com)

Adoration, like Confession, can get a bad rap. Just like people make the argument, "Why do Catholics need to confess their sins to a priest?"; others make the argument, "Why do we need to sit for an hour or so in front of some fancy box and speak to Jesus?" The fancy box is not just a fancy box, but... (www.catholic365.com)

Why I Chose to Receive on the Tongue

This wasn’t an overnight decision on my part. In fact, it has been something I have been thinking about for years but didn’t have the courage, faith or knowledge to actually seriously consider receiving on the tongue until recently. Let me explain what was going on in my mind..... (www.catholic365.com)

Why should we be Catholic rather than Protestant?

In the Two true religions article, I answered the question, “if God established Judaism, why should we be Catholic?” The gist of the article is that Catholicism is superior to all other religions, including Judaism, because of the Mass and the Sacraments, wherein, we receive God’s sanctifying grace....

A Step Beyond Faith Part 1

Faith is an important part of what it means to be a Christian. I mean the events in the bible took place long before we were born. But out of faith we believe in what the bible says and what the Church teaches. We are imitators of Christ, right? That’s what it means isn’t it, the word Christian.... (www.catholic365.com)

Introduction to The Trinity

The nature of God is a subject which has been debated among those professing the name "Christian" almost since the beginning of the New Testament era. In Deuteronomy 6:4 we are presented with an apparently plain statement concerning His nature: "Hear, O Israel! The LORD our God, the LORD is One".... (www.catholic365.com)

The Mass, St. John chapter 6 and the test of faith

When I first started learning Catholic apologetics, between 15 and 20 years ago, I ran across an article on the web that spoke of the Test of Faith. I can’t find it anymore, but for many years, it was one of my favorite bookmarks. Several pc’s have died on me in that time and I lost the link. Any... (www.catholic365.com)

An Introduction to the Five Ways of St. Thomas Aquinas, Part 12

After the death of Thomas Aquinas in 1274, opponents of his teaching emerged almost immediately, especially among the Franciscans. His confreres among the Dominicans came to Thomas’ defense, joined later by the Jesuits, and for a great while these two camps defined the place of Thomas in Catholic ph... (www.catholic365.com)

Justice and Politics

Ideally the concept of justice is considered to be independent of contextual factors like politics. And the notion of correlating the two feels somewhat odious, or at least repugnant. But the recent Speilberg movie, Bridge of Spies, is a fascinating tale of the oxymoronic twists of our government an... (www.catholic365.com)

St. Paul Didn't Say Faith Alone

When St. Paul said, “justified by faith without the deeds of the law” (Rom 3:28), Luther interpreted that as faith “alone”: But that’s not what St. Paul meant. St. Paul was teaching the justification which occurs in the Sacraments.... (www.catholic365.com)

Point-By-Point Counter on Peter as the First Pope (Matthew 16:18)
