Writing keeps me sane. Though my kids don’t realize it, (probably a good thing) my escape into fiction pulls me out of our chaotic world and allows me to reset my mental balance (always a good thing). Writing can be a form of prayer.... (www.catholic365.com)

Is Ignorance A Sin?

Years ago I knew a man who did not believe in God. He was the kindest, most generous and nicest person you could wish to meet. Always smiling and helping others where he could. He just did not believe in God. He did not do it out of malice or rebellion or in any way in enmity with God. He just lived... (www.catholic365.com)

Jian never liked heights, but as the head workman in charge of this section of the Great Wall, he ignored his personal inclinations. Duty ruled his will. He managed seventy slaves in turn. What they did with their wills was of little consequence—as long as they obeyed him, and he lived to see anothe... (www.catholic365.com)

Gun Control or Virtues?

All three. Unfortunately, we are not hearing much, if anything, about the latter two. Instead, we see and hear one side vehemently promulgating their anti-gun agenda, and the other side steadfastly defending the 2nd Amendment. Regardless of which side of the gun control debate you are on, it's clear... (www.catholic365.com)
