The Brothers of Jesus

Protestants frequently try to go through Scripture pointing out that many people are called "brothers" of Christ. This, they claim, proves that Mary had more children. Never mind that these purported "brothers" of Christ can be traced to another mother and father. Let me show you:... (www.catholic365.com)

Some nights are made for torture, or reflection

I know we all recognize the importance of self-reflection, but I can think of few ways where such reflection assists us in not only examining our daily lives in a deeper manner, but reflection allows us the opportunity to then change our actions and, more importantly, our hearts. And if we are truly... (www.catholic365.com)

The Boldness of St. Peter

St. Peter knew a good thing when he had seen it. He may or may not have been sure about the whole bread of life discourse, his answer wasn't that he accepted it, but simply that he was sticking with Jesus. This is one of the many reasons that St. Peter has been, and will continue to be, my favorite ... (www.catholic365.com)

In a Word: Fail

You are a failure. Wow. That’s rough, right? Not exactly what you wanted to hear on a Friday night? I know it’s mean to say, but it’s the mean truth, darling. Fail. From Old French noun faile, which indicates a “deficiency; lacking”. Also from Latin fallere, "to trip; to cause to fall".... (www.catholic365.com)

I thought I'd forgiven him. At least I was trying. I was going through the motions. But when we were together, standing next to each other. I'd feel internally so cynical and angry, and that made me anxious and confused. It was depressing me because I was trying--praying not to feel this way.... (www.catholic365.com)

A pure heart faces the worst kind of evil in this world. But as it sleeps it's blessed and it wakes up cleansed and a little bit stronger.

Ever wonder why there are so many Gospel stories featuring the Pharisees in a role antagonistic to Jesus? The Pharisees were morally and religiously upright people, a reform party in Judaism concerned with restoring Jewish worship to its true roots. So why do the Gospels cast the Pharisees in such a...

Forgive and Forget?

So today I was scrolling around the web (I feel like that's a more accurate description than surfing the web) and I read this article that posed an intriguing question: can you forgive and not have a relationship with that person?... (www.catholic365.com)

I recently realized about myself that I am (mostly) an extrovert. I love people and talking and group activities. In fact, right now I am alone in my apartment, and apart from writing this, I'm bored! I'm the type who needs (really just wants) nearly constant stimulation.... (www.catholic365.com)

When our friends' son entered seminary right out of high school, I considered that they had some recipe for raising such a faithful young man.

Enter Under My Roof

Under the new translation of the Mass, every week just before Communion Catholics repeat, “Lord, I am not worthy for you to enter under my roof but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” Where does this awkward phrase come from and what does it mean?... (www.catholic365.com)

The Principle of Double Effect Part 2: The Morality of the Action

So we must first remember when talking about the Principle of Double Effect (PDE) that it is meant to determine if an act is good to do or not good to do based on its effects. There are many acts, however, that are bad regardless of what their effects are. For example, if a person steals a cat from ... (www.catholic365.com)

Keep your heart clear and transparent, and you will never be bound.

Many of us have an all too long a history of using people in a nice way. Often there is lacking a genuine care for the welfare of the other, but with a very real care for our own self. In today’s Gospel we find a man, Nathaniel, who is transparent. He can be unpleasantly honest. “Can anything goo... (www.catholic365.com)

The Christian Paradox

It's a kind of paradox to love the sinner but not the sin. I minister inside a men's prison and when I sit and talk with them, I love them all. Of course I don't love what they've done; I don't even want to imagine it. I separate the two.... (www.catholic365.com)

Nothing to Fear from God

I posted a video to one of my online social network sites which suggested 9-11-01 was part of God’s judgment on America because of its many sins. One reader took great umbrage with that idea. He believes 9-11 was simply the sinful act of “misguided” men, and is unwilling to believe God would permit ... (www.catholic365.com)
