Politics of the Common Good

The word politics has gained an almost entirely negative and pejorative meaning when used by many of us in these days of scandal, corruption and greed. Perhaps there was a time when politics as noun or adjective meant something other than a snipe but not in my lifetime. And so it was with great inte... (www.catholic365.com)

In Understanding, Be Men

In this final article of this series I will try to explain the reasons and sources researched that led to my reversion to the Catholic Church. As I stated before this account is, by nature of size limitations, a snapshot and not a thorough examination of the facts. The title of this tome really refl... (www.catholic365.com)

Fires and The Cross

Fires in the west. Back when I lived on the east coast or during the twenty-three years I lived in Houston, hearing about the fires in the west would provoke a momentary ' How awful' but since I was far away, within seconds the horrors of distant folks were replaced by more pressing matters affecti...

Feeling the Pressure?

Are you feeling pressure from your family and friends to make a choice about what you’re going to do with your life? It happens to all of us. I’m going through it now, as are my college age friends.

Every Wind Of Doctrine

The funny thing about doing a series like this is that I find I have so much to that what started out as 3 articles has now become four. But there is so much to say about my time as an Evangelical Christian and the events that over a period of time led me closer and closer to the Catholic Church. Fo... (www.catholic365.com)

An Introduction to the Five Ways of St. Thomas Aquinas, Part 2

In the first article in this series, I presented the three objections to the idea that God’s existence can be demonstrated that St. Thomas Aquinas lists in his Summa Theologica. In responding to these objections, Thomas turns to Romans 1:20, where St. Paul insists that the “invisible attributes” of ... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith of Our Fathers: Enough Said: Virtually Everywhere Is Really Nowhere To Be Found

There is said it. What can be virtually everywhere and really nowhere at all to be found? This is a question that I began to wonder a great deal about as I was looking through all of my streaming channels on the Roku player. I now have over 225 streaming TV channels and I find that I watch about ... (www.catholic365.com)

Pope Francis: Pride, Humility and the Gospel of the Day After

Pope Francis has gone back to Rome. Sigh--I miss him. I live in central Florida so the closest he ever got to me was probably about 330 miles away and that was in a foreign country, Cuba. The closest I got to him in the United States was when he traveled to Washington, D.C. which is over 900 miles ... (www.catholic365.com)

In the first part of my testimony concerning my reversion to the Catholic Church I talked about my birth and life as cradle Catholic in the pre-Vatican II days…as well as a little bit about my departure from the Church.

Living the retreat experience

In the 1960’s through at least the 1990’s (and beyond in some places), weekend retreat experiences and their follow-up programs became popular in many Catholic parishes, and were a tremendous source of spiritual growth for many Catholic adults.... (www.catholic365.com)

What Role Do Works Play In Our Salvation?

Jesus is pretty clear about it. Let’s look at the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats. When Jesus comes to judge the world, He shall first separate the good from the wicked. The sheep are the good. The goats are the wicked. Then, He addresses the sheep and He tells them that they are going to heaven... (www.catholic365.com)

Francis: Rebuild My Church

Many say that Pope Francis is changing the teachings of the Church. This notion is false. Pope Francis is not changing the teachings of the Church. He is, rather, changing the way that we understand the church by living out her teaching of compassion. He is showing the evangelical and missionary nat... (www.catholic365.com)

Stop Trying to Kill Me!

I am experiencing one more time—someone having to counsel me about – don’t be too loud, slow down and be more careful. One more time then, this anger, hurt and resentment rises up. Why do I react this way Lord? After a few days of going through the back and forth of trying to understand, trying to... (www.catholic365.com)

In a Word: Eucharist

I feel spiritually rejuvenated when I attend the celebration of Mass to receive the Most Holy Eucharist. It is a divine mystery of the Catholic faith (of which, you’ll find, there are many). Like all mysteries, it positively begs to be solved. Like all mysteries of the Catholic faith, it is beyond h... (www.catholic365.com)

Do we reap what we sow?

Protestants frequently claim that St. Paul teaches that we are saved by faith alone. This is based upon their understanding of Romans 3:28: Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.... (www.catholic365.com)

Choosing To Be The Holy Family

Parenting, like any vocation, is filled with both joy and anxiety. From the beginning of a pregnancy, with morning sickness and worry for the baby, to the teen years when our babies are making their own decisions and sometimes we can only pray for them, sometimes it can feel like the stress of paren...

As I read again through 1 Peter, I stopped at the first verses of chapter 2 and reflected on the apostle’s counsel: Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respec...
