Jesus Reversed the Curse

In our culture, we are often told that “death is just a part of life,” and that “death is perfectly natural.” These statements are told to us by many wise modern philosophers, including animated cartoon characters from that old Disney movie “The Lion King,” who explain that we are all a part of the...

Considering the Priesthood, I feel I am on the outside looking in and amazed at the view nonetheless. I never gave the priesthood much thought until my brother joined the seminary. As I watched his life unfold these past 25+ years, I have become more aware of a mystery I can never fully understand.... (www.catholic365.com)

7 Ways God has Equipped Us to Live in the World (and How They Ended up in a Fantasy Novel)

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a cradle Catholic or a convert. None of us is immune to straying. I know this more than most. I converted over twenty years ago, but I spent six of those early years without the sacraments. They were dark times, and I myself didn’t know how I ended up there.... (www.catholic365.com)

"Gender Fluidity" and the Language Contrary to Catholic Teaching (Installment #2)

Last post, I introduced how Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia had proposed sweeping changes to the curriculum as a result of a vote to include gender identity in the nondiscrimination policy list.

Steak and Intimacy

There is a harmful attitudinal trend that has begun to stretch along many generations and is very disconcerting. It has to do with sex and intimacy—so if you’re squeamish, stop reading now (or 9 words ago, depending on how squeamish you are). I’m not sure how we got to where we are with this topi...

Is The U.S. Elevated To Glory And Honor?

Ezra Stiles, the president of Yale College (1778—1795), gave a major Election Address entitled, “The United States Elevated to Glory and Honor.” This was given before the governor and the General Assembly of Connecticut in May 1783.

Receive The Holy Spirit

People hurt us, they say mean things, do things that cause us great physical and emotions pain, and then walk free; as if they did nothing at all. We all have met these people, they are our acquaintances, neighbors, friends, and family members. We are bombarded daily with stories of people who are ... (www.catholic365.com)

Why I'm Still Catholic (And Why Other People Aren't)

My grandmother celebrates 100 years of being a Catholic. She will most likely be a Catholic till her last breath as all my other grandparents were. Me? I’m a mere forty-year cradle Catholic.

Not a Method, But a Relationship

Sometimes I'm asked what method I use during my contemplative prayers – which I think are better defined as meditative than contemplative. Truth is, I don’t have so much a method as I have a relationship. The distinction is not simply semantics. Relationships are built over time. Methods can be deve... (www.catholic365.com)

Eight Things To Love About the Catholic Church Part 3: Why We Love Mary

“Mary, Mary, quite contrary” is what some could call the one who is so misunderstood in her various titles: Mother of God; the Immaculate Conception, Mary Ever-Virgin and others.

Death and Mourning

Today we buried my stepdad. He did not die a few days ago. Actually, he died two days before Thanksgiving, six months ago. But, in the cold north where we live, the Catholic cemetery will not dig graves between November 15 and April 15. The reason is, there could be snow squalls during that time, or...
