I find it amazing that everyone has a different emotional makeup and disposition. Some people seem to have endless time to read anything and everything and not be affected by it. They can take that information that they have accumulated and run into FB battles to engage in discourse about faith and beliefs. Sometimes civil but oftentimes not. FB conversations like love are a battlefield. The Knowledge You Seek It’s great to be challenged in faith, if what you consume... Read more

Examples are Harry Potter and that women who work outside the house and who also wear pants are committing a mortal sin. Despite the attention on non-sinful sins, some really good uplifting spiritual material is written and spoken by The Rigorous Catholics. The Vortex Catholics deliver what they perceive as the hard-hitting... Read more

We love God only as much as we love our brother and sisters and neighbors and enemies. Today I want to focus on a few more ways of listening to God which include utilizing the many gifts the church has given us and the art of trying to find the... Read more

If you were an artist, would you allow someone to prepare your canvas with daubs? Then why should God be expected to act differently when He prepares to unite to Himself a human nature like ours, in all things, save sin? But having lifted up one woman by preserving her from sin, and then having her freely ratify that gift at the Annunciation, God gave hope to our disturbed, neurotic, gauche, and weak humanity. Oh, yes! He is our Model,... Read more
