Why I believe in the Sacrament of Confession (Reconciliation)

I am a fairly recent convert to Catholicism compared to most. I have been in full Communion with the Catholic Church for only about 2 and a half years. Remembering my journey to the Church, I remember Confession being one of the harder doctrines to accept. I mean who WANTS to tell all of their deepe... (www.catholic365.com)

"Hey Atheists--Why can't You Leave Us Deists Alone?"

The FFRF (a snappy little acronym for the "Freedom From Religion Foundation") was in the news again. Their latest inane protest demanding the U.S. Navy get rid of all Bibles at guest hotels had been granted. NEXCOM (a pronounceable acronym for "Navy Exchange Service Command") decided in favor of F... (www.catholic365.com)

A Breath of Fresh Air (A Review of "The Identical")

It’s hard to find good family movies these days when gratuitous sex and violence are the norm, and family appropriate entertainment is often of inferior quality.

The Servants of Satan Laugh as They Murder Christian Children~~We Cannot Continue to Stand Idly By

There was a photo of a child, actually a baby. She was maybe a year old, maybe a month or two older. Wearing a pink and white stocking hat and a sweater to match, she was sitting on the ground surrounded by dirt and rocks.

Christ My Healer

An unfortunate teaching that is rampant among the churches, is the fallacy that the Lord's miracles, such as healing, ended upon the death of the apostles. To say that would render the Bible to just another historical narrative. God's Word is replete with promises that pertain to our healing whet... (www.catholic365.com)

Depravity in Oklahoma---The Ultimate Denigration of Catholicism; The "black mass"

Pope Leo XIII wrote this prayer back in 1886 and it was recited virtually every day at all Low Masses from that time until the late 1960s. Then the Vatican II reforms began to be implemented and the prayer w... (www.catholic365.com)

Cost of Discipleship

Too often discipleship seems nothing more than a vague and nebulous idea rather than a relationship hinging directly upon the mysterious person of Christ. There was a popular spiritual book a few years ago called The Shack.t's message purported to free the reader from those unpleasant obligations as... (www.catholic365.com)

Injured and Alone

Our hike into Oregon’s Mt. Jefferson Wilderness had begun so auspiciously that Friday morning. My wife, daughter, and our Newfoundland puppy named Chester saw us off, hiking with us into Lake Pamelia (3,884 ft. elevation) where we parted ways: they returning to the trailhead, and my father, son (Ste...

Catholics are frequently characterized as being too focused on sin and unhappy in their lives. Perhaps the negative assumptions are partly attributed to us Catholics being called to confess our mortal sins to a priest in order to be forgiven. Some might argue that Christ freed us from sin, so we s... (www.catholic365.com)

Evangelization at the Movies

I’m not typically weepy, but one particular movie always makes me cry. Okay, I’m putting it mildly; it turns me into a blubbering mess. Even walking through the family room, catching a few seconds of it on television can produce a quick lump in my throat. The movie in question? Because of Winn Dixie... (www.catholic365.com)
