At the time, Keith was a youth pastor, just starting out, and in need of a logo for his growing youth group. A few phone calls led… Read more

It was a Sunday morning in Ordinary Time. I learned, a little while ago, that the there’s nothing ordinary about what the Catholic Church calls “Ordinary Time.” Technically, ordinary comes from “ordinal” which simply describes a sequence of things—like counting. In other words, what the Church calls Ordinary Time, the lengths of Sundays in between the high liturgical seasons like Easter and Christmas, is simply counted time. Nothing necessarily ordinary about it. And on this particular Sunday that was certainly the case. These days, our… Read more

Theologian, philosopher, and evangelical convert to Catholicism Dr. Douglas Beaumont is one of the most insightful apologists working in the field today.

Maybe because Dr. Beaumont talks about Catholicism like an evangelical;… Read more
