The Church and the Lodge--Freemasonry and Catholics

With all of the tenacity of Sherman’s March to the Sea, all traces of the Confederacy in the United States are being wiped out. Flags are being removed from state capitol buildings, statues are being torn down and there has even been a call to rename the Dixie Classic Fair. There is however one co... (www.catholic365.com)

A Short History of the Bible

The Bible is the collection of books that the Catholic Church decided could be read at Mass. It is a collection of books written by different authors with different writing styles over thousands of years for different audiences. It is not a manual on how to run a religion or build a church. Those th... (www.catholic365.com)

Healing St. Peter: The Ultimate "Type-A"

Peter had no idea what he would do or say when he reached the shore. When he realized it was Jesus, he jumped out of the boat and started swimming. Once again, he acted without thinking.... (www.catholic365.com)

The cause of most of man's unhappiness is sacrificing what he wants most for what he wants now.

The Conversion of St. Paul is such an important celebration of the Church year that it has its own proper readings. Today, then, we hear of St. Paul’s conversion through the lens of his Jewish faith being fulfilled in Christ.... (www.catholic365.com)

Our Catholic Life

As I write this it is Sunday, January 15th and we have just returned from first Mass (5 AM). The Church was brightly decorated as this is a special day here in the Philippines as a whole.

Salvation history doesn't need to be carbon-dated

I recently read Lutheran theologian Rudolf Bultmann’s 1953 publication, Kerygma and Myth. While I don't necessarily agree with every point he was trying to make, I did find many of his arguments to be quite compelling, especially his thoughts regarding the irrelevance of history to the practice of ...

God's Shepherd's Are Always There For Us

Today I had the opportunity to meet with a fellow friend and parishioner that I don’t often have the opportunity to sit down and talk with, and during our visit, we got on the subject of “Priests”. We started to recall how priests over the years had influenced and affected our lives in so many diffe... (www.catholic365.com)

Not Wasting Time With the Dishonest

During the last 40 years I’ve spoken with many men and women who did not understand much about God or His word. Most of them came to me with inquisitive hearts, honestly seeking answers to their questions. I always answered as best I could, while considering my own continuing journey to know more ab...

The Ego-Project God: How relativism encourages people to shape God into a reflection of their own ego

In his homily on April 18, 2005, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger defined moral relativism as letting oneself be tossed around by “every wind of doctrine” (see Eph. 4:14), and noted that modern man is constructing a “dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultima...

Jesus did not want to give you some of His love, He wanted to give you ALL of His love.

We think of love like other material things. We think there is only so much to go around and God needs to spread it out. However, God is not finite and love is not a material thing. Love, like God, is infinite. Indeed, God is love, so God being infinite makes love infinite as well. So, when God... (www.catholic365.com)

Too often are we rooting for the pride of a team rather than the good of the nation.

In the Gospel reading we see the teachers of the Law claiming that Jesus was a tool of the devil. It is so hard and so disappointing to see how these men, despite the miracles and all the good things Jesus was doing, could not see the finger of God working through him.... (www.catholic365.com)

Probably the most underrated component in life is water. Any scientist will tell you that without water, human life is virtually impossible. Water is so simple and so humble, yet it packs so much power. Two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen - H2O. With this equation comes one of the most essential ... (www.catholic365.com)

I looked on the One my sins pierced and it completely changed my Confession

Generally, when I begin to pray the Act of Contrition in Confession, I close my eyes. I prefer to go behind the screen, and I like to close my eyes so I can focus on the words. As I started the prayer, I realized that the confessional I was using had a crucifix hanging on the screen at about eye l... (www.catholic365.com)

Mercy In The City - Book Review

When preparing for Lent we often think about what we could give up for that forty days. The most popular is sweets, such as candy and cake. But have you ever thought about what you could do for Lent besides only giving up something?... (www.catholic365.com)
