Catholic Apologetics 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Mastering Arguments That Actually Work

The Big Bang Theory Was a Catholic Priest’s Idea (And Other Science Facts to Ruin a Skeptic’s Day)
"The Church is the enemy of science." It’s the slogan of the modern skeptic, usually shouted from the digital rooftops by someone whose last interaction with physics was a C-minus in high school and a three-hour YouTube marathon of "debunking" videos. It’s a comfortable narrative. It’s clean. It’s convenient. It’s also completely wrong. Yes, and […]

Beyond the Verse: What Protestants and Catholics Overlook About the Bible’s Origins
You’ll never look at a Bible’s table of contents the same way again: Protestants and Catholics alike accept things about the Bible that aren’t written in scripture.

A Confession Reflection for the Season that is Lenten
I spoke in my previous entry about Pope Francis’ enthusiasm for the Sacrament of Confession. According to Catholic Radio, he decided to pursue his vocation to the priesthood while attending Confession.
