Hot-Dog Souls
Hot-Dog Souls
By Ann Frailey
I’ll admit it right off the bat – I like hot-dogs – not so much as a great meal but as a quick fill-up when things are too busy to plan out a real meal. Yet the funny thing is that I also vividly remember Sister T’s biology class

Hating the Truth of the Real Presence of Christ, Satanists Perform a 'black mass'
Hating the Truth of the Real Presence of Christ, Satanists Perform a 'black mass'
By Larry Peterson
Praise the Lord (TRULY). The 'black mass' abomination in Oklahoma City (with its huge congregation of 42 people) is finally over. The Satanic lovers of the "darkness" have had their day. I hope they are fulfilled with whatever redeeming spiritual blackness their boss can deliver into their misguided, hate filled, anti-God hearts.

Should We Ban Books?
Should We Ban Books?
By Carol Ann Chybowski
This week, September 21-27, is Banned Books week. This annual event is more commemoration than celebration. There’s an edge of defiance to it as well—no one is going to tell me what I can read! Legitimate questions are aired and debated again. What should be banned? Is it explicit “adult” content? Graphic violence? Profanity? Anti-Catholic/Christian sentiment?

Mature Believers
Mature Believers
By Sr. Anne Marie
Mature Believers, on November 15, 1972, at a General Audience, Pope Paul VI said the following: "WHAT ARE the Church's greatest needs at the present time? Don't be surprised at Our answer and don't write it off as simplistic or even superstitious: one of the Church's greatest needs is to be defended against the evil we call the Devil."

Pope Francis: "...Marriage is about a Man and a Woman Walking Together..."
Pope Francis: "...Marriage is about a Man and a Woman Walking Together..."
By Larry Peterson
Way way back in ancient times, like around 1950, about 22% of American adults were single. Since the population 'way back then' was about 152.3 million, that would mean that about 33.5 million Americans were unattached. In 2013, the population was almost double, coming in at about 316 million people. Single adults tipped the scales at 50.2%.

A Prayer for Peace
By Carol Ann Chybowski
All of us who lived through the horror of the events of September 11, 2001 will never forget what we saw and heard and felt on that awful day. We all remember those events in a special way each September 11, as we think back and relive where we were when we first heard the news.

The Evangelization Imperative
The Evangelization Imperative
By Lavinia Theodoli Spirito
The New Evangelization depends entirely on a New Pentecost. Only with a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit will the Church rediscover her missionary dimension. This Evangelization is necessary, as long as those within and those without the Church don’t appear to be seeking God and trying to do His will and follow the light of their consciences.

Has Secularism Conquered the St. Patrick's Day Parade? Cardinal Dolan Should Clarify Church Teaching
Has Secularism Conquered the St. Patrick's Day Parade? Cardinal Dolan Should Clarify Church Teaching
By Larry Peterson
We are up to our waists in the muck of secular quicksand and, slowly but surely, it is trying its best to suck us all deeper into its godless abyss. This insidious secularism has permeated so much of our lives, it has become the norm for many, especially the Millennials

New Pro-Life Initiative
New Pro-Life Initiative
By Charlotte Ostermann
Do you know anyone who feels despair when they consider all the lives lost to abortion? We live in the shadow of those millions of deaths, and sometimes it is hard for even staunch pro-life people to handle the reality that even a pro-life victory cannot change. What we need is a gesture of hope

Friends and Their Gifts are Gifts from God
Friends and Their Gifts are Gifts from God
By Renee Oania
God often sends friends bearing gifts to help us along our journey. I would like to share a few examples of how friends and their gifts of a sand dollar, a teapot, a journal, an angel statue, and a story and rabbit figurine have helped me.

Some Food for Thought on Gay Marriage
Some Food for Thought on Gay Marriage
By Karl Erickson
We’re all familiar with the frantic push for homosexual marriage and/or civil unions. As people of faith striving to live peacefully within a society in growing crisis, we’re probably much more acquainted than we’d like to be with this ideology washing over us from all sides of our popular culture.

WWJD
WWJD
By Al Vargo
Some thoughts for my Christian friends: A common war cry among liberal 'christians' over the past few years has been: WWJD (What would Jesus do?). It's attempt to make people forget Christ's teachings by focusing on His loving nature, to make the secular notion of 'anything goes' seem OK. Since God is love, and Jesus is forgiving, then it doesn't matter how people live their lives,

From Missouri Slave to Catholic priest to "Servant of God": A Shining Example for ALL of Us
From Missouri Slave to Catholic priest to "Servant of God": A Shining Example for ALL of Us
By Larry Peterson
This is not about the Ferguson, Missouri of 2014 but it is about the Missouri of the 19th century. This is about a black man that I wish not only the people of Ferguson would learn about, but also the rest of Missouri and all of America. This is about a man whose goodness shined like a brilliant star, inspiring others by his gentle and caring example. Let me introduce you to Augustus Tolton.

Caring for Creation
Caring for Creation
By Karl Erickson
Few things can get you ridiculed faster in Oregon than expressing a lack of enthusiasm for recycling. It might be less problematic to announce a fondness for whale hunts on the weekend. In the Pacific Northwest, where rates of church attendance are some of the lowest in the country, Oregonians seem to revere recycling as a kind of secular sacrament.
