The Catholic Controversy. It's a phrase that seems as old as the bible and as modern as present day. The Catholic faith has never been short of controversy and over the centuries it has endured challenge after challenge from bot outside and from within. One such controversy was when 72,000 Calvinists in Chablais had separated themselves from the Roman Church. Their reasons were seemingly many, valid and justified, until a young future Saint, Francis de Sales, volunteered to re-evangelize the Cal...

How can we really begin to understand the Bible? It's a fairly daunting task to approach the reading of the bible from cover to cover. It is loaded with history, law, prophecy, stories and the Holy word of God. Sacred Scripture requires attention and understanding and frankly, time to absorb and comprehend the Word of God. as 2 Timothy 3:16 states All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may ...

Memento Mori. Latin phrases have a way of tickling our intellect, even when we perhaps do not fully understand them. A short phrase like Memento Mori let's us know that latin can accomplish much with two words. The short phrase translates to "Remember Death", or another translation also suggests this overall thought; "that a person remember that he will one day die. One day our earthly end will have arrived and it is good to remember the one inevitable, unavoidable fact that death awaits every o...

The book complied by Paul Thigpen, The Life of Saint Joseph as Seen by the Mystics. Often thought of as the silent Saint - The Blessed Saint Joseph, is a quiet and strong figure. The man who was the foster father of Jesus on this earth is a somewhat mysterious figure often prompting questions or quick judgements. In some ways he very much in the background and not a single word he spoke was recorded in sacred scripture. This for reasons only God can know. The book is a narrative account of Saint...

ALTER CHRISTUS - Fr. Ezra Sullivan O.P. Alter Christus is a latin term for how a Holy Priest acts as "another Christ" and it is the title of a book prepared by Fr. Ezra Sullivan. The Authority that flows from the Kingship of Christ into this world, through his Holy Church and Holy priests seems to have been mangled in Modernism and the modern world. The role and Authority of Priests themselves in our lives has eroded over the decades and through it is sometimes hard to grasp that this moment too...

The Once and Future roman Rite. R.I.T.E. No matter what time we are living in, we are always living in God’s Time. Sometimes the future is found in the past. Sometimes we must move toward tradition, a way that we once did things in order to understand what "was" and use that new understanding of the "old way" to shape our future. Long before the New World Order was a catch phrase everyone came to know and somewhat understand, Roman Catholics were dealing with a the Latin version of the same phra...

The little way of living with less. It's a funny world we live in. Over the course of my life the mantra of MORE MORE MORE seems to have been pushed to the public in unimaginable ways in a relentless attempt to have us all become the fruit of industry.

Somewhere along the way I wanted to simplify, to have less, do more with less and use what I have rather than contribute to the ...

The Diary of Saint Gemma, gives me great pause for reflection. I always admire young saints ability to be so certain, or rather to listen so obediently to God’s call to them from a young age. Saint Gemma Galliani’s life is no exception. Her diary has all the rantings of a young Catholic, living the struggle of attempting to live in perfect love and union with Christ. To choose to leave the worldly life and enter into a deep spiritual life, full of its pain and grace, heartbreak and loneliness, l...
