What I wish I knew before I decided to study theology

When I made the decision to study theology in addition to English in college, I had no idea I was embarking on a faith journey as well as an academic one.

Remember your weaknesses.

We all have weaknesses. Remembering your weaknesses sounds like putting yourself down, but that is not the purpose. We need to remember our weakness, so that we can avoid our weaknesses or strengthen ourselves against them. Just trying to forget they exist does no good.... (www.catholic365.com)

Infallibility of The Church

The use of infallibility in Catholic theology is rather restrictive; it is a Catholic dogma and has been taught through the ages. It means that, by Divine assistance, the Church (of Christ), is preserved from error, or even the possibility of error, in definitive dogmatic teachings regarding faith ... (www.catholic365.com)

Love demands freedom. It always has, and it always will. We are free to resist, reject, and rebel against God's ways for us. - We can have all the hell we want.

You Will Move Mountains

I love it when I have an epiphany! Well, sometimes I do. I have discovered that often they mean work: physically, emotionally and/or spiritually. Today’s epiphany encompasses the latter two which, if you ask me, usually poses a greater challenge than any physical requirement.... (www.catholic365.com)

Is there Truth?

Some say that you have your truth and I have mine meaning that everything is relative. They should talk to my former teachers. They seemed to believe there was one truth. There would be no convincing them that 1 + 1 = 3 or that debits and credits are interchangeable.... (www.catholic365.com)

Nothing limits intelligence more than ignorance; nothing fosters ignorance more than one's own opinions; nothing strengthens opinions more than refusing to look at reality.

Bartimaeus refuses to let the crowd quiet his voice. Yes, he is a beggar, but he somehow knows this is a moment that too quickly can pass. He cannot let that happen. He must reach out to Jesus.... (www.catholic365.com)

In an age of constant live connections, the central question of self-examination is drifting from ‘Who are you?' towards ‘What are you doing?

Why is it so hard for us to look at ourselves? Is it because we want to avoid the tough questions? Is it because if we were really honest with ourselves, we would see that we need a lot of work and don’t want to commit to make a change?
