I came up with five other fun things that we Catholics can do in between getting headaches as we hear the latest liberal ranting about how the Catholic Church needs to change and accommodate the immoralities and bad theology of modern popular culture. You don’t have to do all of these things at once if you don’t want, or even in this order, but if you don’t do at least one you’ll wish you do once Sede Vacante is over.

I’ve never met Pope Benedict XVI in person, but I feel so close to him. Hearing about his resignation has hit me even harder than when I learned that my own Father had passed away (probably because I was prepared for that news).

The feast of Our Lady, Help of Christians, was instituted by Pope Pius VII. By order of Napoleon I of France, Pius VII was arrested on June 5, 1808, and detained a prisoner for three years at Savona, and then at Fontainebleau.

On Sunday, May 22, 2011 I had a great conversation on the spritual life with Catholic Convert Daniel Burke about his conversion from Reformed Judaism, New Age, Protestantism, and Anglicanism to Catholicism, and about Catholic Spiritual Direction. We spent the first half of the show [...]

A federal judge in Oregon has ruled that the Vatican must answer questions posed by the plaintiff in a sex-abuse suit. Judge Michael Mosman granted “limited discovery,” ordering the Vatican to produce evidence showing whether or not the late Father Andrew Ronan, the accused abuser, [...]

Back on September 12, 2010, I wrote an article entitled, Three Reasons why Capital Punishment is Always Unneccesary, in which I numerated the three reasons why I personally believe that the use of Capital Punishment (the Death Penalty) does not comport with the divine mercy [...]

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105) On November 11, 2010 Pope Benedict XVI released his post-synodal apostolic exhortation Verbum Domini (The Word of the Lord). This exhortation of the holy Father is his reflection on [...]
