This week we are all aware that Pope Francis I is in America. Although his visit is short, his presence is well-documented in the news media. Some people downplay his importance. Some disagree with his message about ecology and say a religious figure ought not to deal with politics while others say ... (www.catholic365.com)

Consecration to a Loving Life

It happened again. A strange dog showed up, fought for a place in our canine society, won a position in our hearts and eventfully was claimed by owners who took him home. But probably not to stay. He’ll be back. For several years running we have been the beneficiaries of other people’s unwanted or ... (www.catholic365.com)

Pope Francis and the Bishops: Navigating Stormy Waters ...

I am slipping this piece in during what has been, thus far, a hellacious first week of doctoral studies at St. Thomas University here in Miami; that said, I did not want my observations regarding the Holy Father’s recent trip to America to slip too far down the ladder as to become irrelevant in the ...

Recite your Rosary with faith, with humility, with confidence, and with perseverance.

Let me stand and mourn with you, O Mother standing ’neath the Cross, your loving eyes gazing up at your bleeding Son. You saw your Son condemned to die like a common criminal; you heard them free a thief instead. You watched him fall ’neath the weight of the beam placed across his torn shoulders a...

Our Mission is Love

For the past week, I've been watching the various events that Pope Francis was at. On Facebook, and during the Pope's visit, one common theme was love. Love is our mission. It is why we are here. It was why God created us. It should be what we are trying to do every day of our lives.... (www.catholic365.com)

Why I Love the Church

Ever since I first set foot back in a Catholic Church in January 2011, months before my reversion, I started looking at the Church through new eyes. Many of the things of Catholic life that had been pretty much meaningless as a child had new meaning. In the time leading up to my reversion and in the... (www.catholic365.com)

Openness to life and "Danny's Song"

I was blessed to have a beautiful model of married love growing up. The Loggins and Messina tune known as Danny's Song was not a stranger to our home, and I fondly remember my parents exchanging hugs, smiles and knowing looks whenever it played on the radio. I now do the same with my husband, and he... (www.catholic365.com)

Here, I’ll present Thomas’ reply to the second objection: that everything in the created order can be explained by natural or human causes, so there’s no need to posit ... (www.catholic365.com)

What Scripture does not say

There’s an interesting discussion going on in the comments to the Paradigm article. Thanks to all who are participating there. The idea that is surfacing is that Protestants make up doctrine according to what they claim, “Scripture does not say”.... (www.catholic365.com)

What About You?

After watching all the fanfare of Pope Francis' journey here in the States, it is wonderful to see the joy and vibrancy of what has been seen to many as a Church in decline. After seeing the massive crowds gathered in Washington D.C., New York City and, Philadelphia, one would have to doubt that suc... (www.catholic365.com)

Are You An Amusing Catholic?

It was Dominic’s inaugural ride at Cedar Point. As the Millennium Force clicked it’s way up, higher and higher, scenes of his 9 years of life must have been flashing before his eyes. Just before the dramatic descent, all surrounding counties surely heard a little boy shouting from the top of his lun... (www.catholic365.com)

Is The Church the Woman of Revelation 18?

One of the favorite hobbies of non-Catholic Christians, especially in the last 75 years, is trying to interpret Bible prophesies about the End Times to come up with a “times and season” if not an exact date for the Second Coming of Christ.... (www.catholic365.com)

People to whom sin is just a matter of words, to them salvation is just words too.

We are loved by God and we are saved by God’s beloved Son so that we might not die but live forever. “We sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.” - Peter Kreeft... (www.catholic365.com)

Hope Against The Dark

I have been weak, I know this. To some extent, we all are. What man can say he has actualized his full potential on his own? Only God can actualize it in him, if man will give up himself, his fears, his insecurity, his worldliness. But this is the struggle, the battle we all face.... (www.catholic365.com)

Pope Saint Pius I

The reign of Pope Pius I (140-154) showed that by the mid-second century, Rome was the center of Christian faith and culture. The concept of a group of presbyters running the Church was gone and the pope was the go-to guy, so to speak, for all things Christian. Pius I was accepting visitors from Gno...
