Why I'm still Catholic

Like many of you, my grandparents were devout Catholics. They then raised their children (8 and 6 children respectfully) in the Catholic faith. About half of my parents siblings are no longer practicing Catholics and almost none of my cousins are either. There are doctrines of the church that hurt m... (www.catholic365.com)

God calls us to do many things. We are called to love, to be married or single, Father or Mother, and we are called to see people through things. Everyone goes through good times and everyone goes through bad times. It's during those hard times when we need God most. It's also during those hard time... (www.catholic365.com)

It may be time to change the name to simply, "Holocaust Day" because the genocidal onslaught continues with no end in sight. On Friday, April 10, 14 year old,... (www.catholic365.com)

Morale Without Morals?

For any young man, whether he be in the military or one of the civilians, it is hard to go anywhere in Western society without having disrobed flesh shoved in his face. Since the seventies, especially, porn has become so engrained into American society. To the secular mind, the bachelor’s party befo... (www.catholic365.com)

Untutored Wisdom

Children see the world differently. Well, from me anyway. With my vast years of experience, I tend to observe critically and reach conclusions based on my carefullycultured wisdom. Children tend to just see and since they don’t have as many filters – they tend to report what they see with some acc... (www.catholic365.com)

Praying for Life and an End to Abortion in The Courtyard

The 40 Days for Life Spring Campaign has come to an end. I am the campaign coordinator for 40 Days in San Angelo, Texas.

One Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church

Every day, all over the world at mass as the creed is proclaimed, people say this phrase. Did you ever wonder what that actually means? According to the Encarta dictionary, the definitions of these words are as follows: Holy- consecrated, saintly, sacred, and awe inspiring.... (www.catholic365.com)

Easter: Why it's more than a Day

I don't know about you, but I am glad Lent is over. While I've always appreciated the sacrifice and meaning of it during Lent, sacrifice is so hard! I remember one Lent I gave up chocolate, and I started to dream of chocolate some nights.... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith Of Our Fathers: The Devil Is Not In The Details It Is In The Beliefs

Many people think that you can make deals with anyone and between any two parties. This is not simply the case nor should it be. Faust is the protagonist of a classic German legend. He is a scholar who is highly successful yet totally dissatisfied with his life, so he makes a pact with the Devil. I ... (www.catholic365.com)

When bad things happen

Some one once asked "why does God let bad things happen to good people?" I think the answer is in three parts. The first two are integrally tied to free will.... (www.catholic365.com)

Time to "Slap Back" at the Self-Serving Intolerance of the Anti-Catholic/Christian

When I began to contemplate the Cross on Good Friday and Who was nailed to it, I found myself disgusted. I am still disgusted. I am disgusted and fed up with the approximately 2% of the population who are gay and are screaming at the “intolerance” of the Catholic/Christian community which comprises ... (www.catholic365.com)

Is the Genesis Story of Creation True?

Some people believe the creation story in Genesis is literally and historically true. They believe the universe was created only several thousand years ago, in six, 24-hour “days.” However, there is another way to read this story. The story of creation found in Genesis could be a literary form simil... (www.catholic365.com)

Peace and Prosperity?

There is a saying that some people cannot handle the truth. I wonder if it would also be true to say that some people can’t handle prosperity? When I hear individuals complain vociferously about this country, this century, and all our present problems, I wonder where else would they like to be.... (www.catholic365.com)

Church Ignites Hearts

Often times, I will listen to a song and place it in a different context than it was originally written for. Sister Cristina, the nun who won the Voice Italy last year did this with most of the songs she performed. In her first blind audition, which was widely shared on social media, she sang No One...

She waited for the priest to arrive. Her children were crying. They were telling her how much she was loved. They told her how much they would miss her. Her husband wept silently as he held her hand. "I love you! I love you! I'm sorry!" He had been drinking heavily that day.... (www.catholic365.com)

To Rome from Union Station

“So tell Amelia how you left the Baptist Church to become Catholic” Oh the question that derailed my thinking, my plans, and my life and set it on a course I would have sworn just months earlier I would never have as ‘Destination Rome’ on my life’s ticket.... (www.catholic365.com)

"Save Yourselves from this Corrupt Generation!" (Acts 2:40)

This verse in the Book of Acts brings an image to my mind of a street activist holding a sign with these words scrawled across it -- a scenario many would turn away from. But those who heard St. Peter's speech at Pentecost were "cut to the heart by it," and that day three thousand were baptized and ... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith of Our Fathers: A Real St. Nicholas Story?

St. Nicholas was a real man- the Bishop of Myra. He attended the Council of Nicaea and by all accounts is not listed as attending the conference. Why? Maybe after you read this short story you will find out more information about this magical man. When Jesus said we should turn another cheek wa... (www.catholic365.com)

Please Stop Calling Me A Bigot and a Hater

The last few weeks in the news have been hate-filled. I watched as the governor of Indiana bumbled through spin control after news of his state’s RFRA (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) broke. I watched sound bite after sound bite of protestors holding signs and yelling “Go home bigots!” and “Hoosi... (www.catholic365.com)
