RE: The Synod: The Catholic Church is the "Bride" of Christ and the Holy Spirit has Her Back; NO Problem
RE: The Synod: The Catholic Church is the "Bride" of Christ and the Holy Spirit has Her Back; NO Problem
By Larry Peterson
It is quite apparent to me that the 2014 Vatican Synod on the Family has been hijacked by the mainstream media and press. (Maybe we should call it the Secular Media Synod).

Modern Youth Ministry
By Erin Saueressig
In 2012, during my sophomore year of high school I fully entered the Catholic Church. My conversion to Catholicism was a process, and an emotional one at that. Even though I’m now a full Catholic, I have found that even for cradle Catholics, conversion is a lifelong process, and one that is a daily battle to convert ourselves from seeking sin, to chasing Christ.

Christ is Greater than Columbus
By Father Adaly Rosado, Jr.

By Ann Frailey
