There are so many pressing issues impacting our country today, from the economy, healthcare and religious freedom to national defense, immigration and jobs for Americans here at home.

Pope St. Hyginus

Our eighth pope was Hyginus. As is typical of the Roman Church in the mid second century, Hyginus was more likely one of a number of presbyters as opposed to a stand-alone governor.... (www.catholic365.com)

Catholic vs Protestant paradigms - How we read Scripture

The Catholic Church teaches us to understand Scripture according to the Sacred Deposit, the Sacred Traditions, which Jesus established. Why? Because, Jesus Christ established a Church and commanded that Church to teach what He commanded. (Matt 28:19-20). As a result, the Catholic Church went abo... (www.catholic365.com)

Did Jesus have a University Degree?

There was a University in the town where Father Ignatius lived. It was not far from St Vincent Church, just down the hill at the edge of the town center. Father Ignatius was one of the visiting chaplains at the University. He shared the task with other vicars and ministers from other churches and th... (www.catholic365.com)

In a Word: Holy Rebel

Someone near and dear to me considers herself a rebel because she’s not living the holy lifestyle (aka the Catholic lifestyle she was brought up in). Yet I consider myself a rebel because I am striving to be holy. Sure I like to dance. I like to drive too fast and holler out the window.... (www.catholic365.com)

Devotion to Mary.....Time Well Spent

A question from an evangelical friend a short time ago prompted me to write this piece. Most everyone who knows me is aware that I like to hang around with the Blessed Virgin and pray the Rosary each day. So, the question I received is one that so many Catholics receive, but unfortunately, many are ... (www.catholic365.com)

Does the Trinity Doctrine Make Sense?

I didn’t think so when I first seriously considered it, having grown up in a non-trinitarian, psuedo-Christian church. I believed the idea of a “Trinity” was nonsense. “Three-in-one,” “Persons,” “Beings,” “hypostases”—to me it all sounded like a bunch of doublespeak (or rather, triplespeak).... (www.catholic365.com)

A Love Affair with Moloch

We’d be wise not to forget the stern warning within Leviticus 18:21. "Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD." Children hold a special place in the heart of God. “Let the little children come to me,” said Jesus. The re... (www.catholic365.com)

Why I Bring my Small Children to Mass

Every week my husband and I get our three little girls, ages, 7,4, and 2 ready for Mass. We pack them all in the minivan and we head off to sit in a church with three little girls for an hour. Some days, they are like angels. The 4 year old and the 7 year old are quiet in prayer, the 2 year old sit... (www.catholic365.com)

What About the Glory Be, God?

We have reflected on the Lord’s Prayer and the Hail Mary. What about the Glory Be? What can be found there in that prayer which could bring new insight and change into our spiritual walk as the other prayers of the Rosary did? It is really very simple, just as the prayer is. Break it down into thre... (www.catholic365.com)

The World; Yesterday and Today--The Bible Covers It All

As a cradle Catholic who went to twelve years of Catholic school 'waaaaay' back in the 50's and 60's, I can say without hesitation, my education in the Bible and about the Bible and of the Bible was almost non-existent. The Catechism with its nays & yays and 'right & wrong' dominated the conversat... (www.catholic365.com)

Not by any of the 5 Alones

Most of you have heard of faith alone and Scripture alone. But you would probably be surprised to find out that there are actually 5 Protestant doctrines to which they appended the word, “alone”. And all 5 are heresies.... (www.catholic365.com)

In a Word: Dance

King David is my biblical bro. Seriously. One minute he's down; the next he's dancing. If he and I were friends, I imagine every time one of us were down and out – say a tribal chieftain was threatening to encroach upon his kingdom or steal my latest mix cd – we'd hop in the car, drive to some dese...

5 good minutes with God - Is prayer easy?

Today I will paraphrase a story involving two of my favorite characters from the Bible: one named Martha, the other Mary. Jesus and his followers were in the home of Mary and Martha. Martha immediately busied herself with making food and serving the large group traveling with Jesus.... (www.catholic365.com)

We are addicted to our thoughts. We cannot change anything if we cannot change our thinking.

Jesus lists the evils that can come out of the human heart: “unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice deceit,” etc. How does evil get in there in the first place? By letting in the wrong kind of thoughts.... (www.catholic365.com)

A man goes to the doctor's and said that his body hurts wherever he touches it. "Impossible!" says the doctor. "Show me." The man took his finger, pushed on his left shoulder and screamed, then he pressed his elbow and screamed even more. He touched his knee and screamed in agony; likewise he pushed...

Using Temptations To Our Advantage

I remember the day I met my first truly holy person. Now, she would tell you she is anything BUT holy. She was to give a talk at the conclusion of our first Rachel's Vineyard Weekend Retreat. She was speaking on the topic of God's Abundant Mercy and Forgiveness. I thought that was an excellent c... (www.catholic365.com)
