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. For Catholics, that’s no scandal—tradition and Church authority are part of the story. If you’re ever hit with a “show-me-a-verse” challenge, remember: sometimes the answer isn’t in a verse at all.

After looking at modern American culture, I most likely won’t stay in the military any longer than my current contract requires.  There are far greater conflicts at hand than those in Iraq and Afghanistan (and depending on how things go, possibly Syria, Pakistan, North Korea, or Iran).  Though often cited as the most trusted institution […]

Marriage: Love Is A Choice

On the day that the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, my parents celebrated their 31st wedding anniversary.  They did so by spending the whole day driving home after a week in Chicago filing paperwork for my grandmother, who passed away in April.  Their marriage is one that society could really learn from. A few […]

The HHS Mandate Takes A Blow – And Why That’s Good!

Great News from the Beckett Fund folks! Today, a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. handed Wheaton College and Belmont Abbey College a major victory in their challenges to the HHS mandate.  Last summer, two lower courts had dismissed the Colleges’ cases as premature.  Today, the appellate court reinstated those cases, and ordered the Obama Administration to […]

The End of Advent (First Things)

Every secularized holiday, of course, tends to lose the context it had in the liturgical year. […]

Sacramental Marriage, Civil Marriage, Gay Marriage, and the Catholic Church

Mawwidge… I’m told it’s an institute you can’t disparage, though that seems anything but the case these days.  A litany of arguments in favor of allowing for “gay marriage,” in the short-hand parlance, or “homosexual unions,” has been given by hosts of talking heads, celebrities, and every-day folks. It’s a “civil rights” issue, some will say. […]

It is commonly cited as fact that arguing on the internet is “dumb,” and “pointless,” and an overall “waste of time.”  As far as generalizations go, this probably smacks of truth to many who have attempted to engage in the activity known as “internet evangelism,” whether the cause they were evangelizing was one of religion […]
