RE: The Synod: The Catholic Church is the "Bride" of Christ and the Holy Spirit has Her Back; NO Problem

It is quite apparent to me that the 2014 Vatican Synod on the Family has been hijacked by the mainstream media and press. (Maybe we should call it the Secular Media Synod). Reports of Synod actions are flying out from the keyboards about all sorts of things, and none of these keyboards are privy to ... (www.catholic365.com)

Why bother with Mary?

The first “Any Questions” session held by Father Ignatius in the church center proved so successful that some members of the congregation asked him to hold another one.

Modern Youth Ministry

In 2012, during my sophomore year of high school I fully entered the Catholic Church. My conversion to Catholicism was a process, and an emotional one at that. Even though I’m now a full Catholic, I have found that even for cradle Catholics, conversion is a lifelong process, and one that is a daily ... (www.catholic365.com)

What Makes Heroes So Heroic?

In Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, readers encounter characters that remind us of the best in ourselves. Yet none of the characters are without flaws. They all struggle, but it is in their very struggle to overcome their weaker selves that true heroism is born.... (www.catholic365.com)

Tired of Struggling on Your Own? Reconciliation Lends More Than Just a Hand

How often do we say to ourselves that we don't need any help, that we can handle things on our own? In our society, to be independent and self reliant is seen as admirable. We live in a world where asking for help, and consequently admitting we cannot do things on our own, is often viewed as more ... (www.catholic365.com)

The Synod on the Family, the Francis Effect and the Timelessness of the Catholic Church

All Christian eyes turn to Rome as approximately 200 Bishops meet for the Synod on the Family. The secular world hopes that Pope Francis, who seeks a kinder, gentler, more loving, more merciful Church, will change Catholic teaching and come around to their “more enlightened” way of thinking....

Christ is Greater than Columbus

We recently celebrated Columbus Day. While people argue about whether or not this day should be celebrated as a holiday, it is safe to say that most people enjoyed the day off from work. For most it was a day to be with their families. For most children it meant “no school on Monday!”... (www.catholic365.com)

The Cost of Losing Christ

There seems to be a prevailing argument that the world would be just as well off without Christianity – that the best in humanity will save us from the worst in humanity. Yet, if you have spent much time studying history, you will quickly realize that humanity has failed to make Heaven on earth ever... (www.catholic365.com)

Traits of a Perfect Parish Priest

The other day I was talking with my friend, Father McGillicuddy, the pastor of a local parish. He likes to confide in me, because he knows I’ll never tell anyone what he shared with me—unless, of course, I can’t think of anything to write about in my weekly essay. And since I have writer’s block at ... (www.catholic365.com)

The Trinity and the Family

I used to teach an RCIA class for children at my former parish. One day a child, maybe 11 or 12 years old, asked about the quote in the bible that says, "Then God said: Let us make human beings in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air,... (www.catholic365.com)

A Different Love Story: Remembering "The Prison Angel", Mother Antonia Brenner

This is a love story. No, it is not about romantic love. Rather, it is about the love of Christ exploding in the soul of a woman who took her God given gift and did her best to shower it upon some of the meanest and worst criminals in Mexico.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Modern Good Samaritan

The outbreaks of Enterovirus D68 and Ebola have all of us worried. They are deadly, and we don’t seem to have a handle on how to cure them or stop their spread. It brings back so many memories of the early days of the AIDS epidemic in the late 80’s and early 90’s.... (www.catholic365.com)

A Mission of Peace to Russia – You Should Know What Occurred in Red Square on October 17, 1992

The Feast Day of St. Margaret Mary, 1992, found me FAR from the parish community of St. Margaret Mary in Louisville, KY.

Too Busy To Care

Struck by the Splinters of the Cross

My story starts with my ancestry. My grandmother to be exact. When my Grandmother was in her 60’s she found out she was adopted. Her mother, the woman who raised her, never told her she was adopted and the father she thought died in a war, may never have actually existed.... (www.catholic365.com)
