Are you one of those who is about to get off social media sites completely? I too, for a while, felt like I was going to close my Facebook account and just stick with Twitter or nothing at all. Now, I’ve found a new way to use social media sites towards my advantage, which has made it a much more pleasant experience

What about a bad priest?
By Elizabeth Conner
What do you do if you have a bad priest? Hopefully, this is not a question that we have to ask often. Just like there are bad doctors, bad lawyers, bad customer service reps, the religious sector also has their fair share of bad leaders.

By Shaun Johnson
In the quest to reach young adults in the world of ministry there are many different styles and models, all of which are in continual dialogue and development as we move from one generation to the next.

The Science of Religion: God's Blessed Hologram
By Robert Italia
The faithful may bristle at the thought of using science to illustrate and defend religious tenets, but as the following column argues, science and religion are not the foes many perceive. If anything, secularism has co-opted science in an (unwitting?) attempt to disconnect man from God. So here’s CRISTOFORI’S DREAM, my novel’s theory of everything. Perhaps there's a hint of truth in all of this

One day on my way to the cemetery to pray for the poor souls, my youngest son asked me to stop in front of the local nursing home. He said "Let's pray for the imprisoned." Pope Francis recently stated the importance of taking care of the growing number of elderly people across the globe.

Christians Did Not Invent 'Imaginary Sky Friend'
By Bill Dunn
If you read the articles and comments on Catholic websites, you’ll notice a lot of atheists also visit these sites to mock religious people as simpletons who believe in fairy tales.

Always Searching For More
By John C Prejean Sr.
Why is it we are always searching for more? I remember before my reversion, the thought that “there has got to be something else, something more,” kept going through my mind and I found out that there was, but it took total surrender to God on my part, something most of us find hard to do. We fear that we may become less of a person if we give ourselves to God, that we won’t be the same person.

The Smallest Gift Becomes the Greatest
By Dean P. Johnson
I can pinpoint a turning point in my spiritual grown to nearly ten years ago when, on Christmas morning, I reached deep into my stocking for that last small gift that often times has far greater value than any of the large packages. I pulled out a rectangular box with all the hallmarks of jewelry.

Sow Love
By Norma Elaine Robertson
I see grace when a person shows their dislike of me and my beliefs, because it's an opportunity for spiritual growth. I don't encourage anybody to dislike me, I hope not, but I do see it as an opportunity of spiritual growth. It takes humility and self control to hold your tongue when others speak unkindly to you or of you.
