Catholic Apologetics 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Mastering Arguments That Actually Work
Stop trying to "win" arguments. Seriously. If your goal in Catholic apologetics is to walk away with a metaphorical trophy and a digital "mic drop" while the other person feels like a theological floor mat, you’ve already lost. I’ve been a catechist for over 20 years. I’ve seen every "gotcha" question in the book, from […]
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 […]

Debate Dynamics: How Faith, Logic, and Scripture Collide in Godlogic’s Dialogue with a Muslim Thinker
When faith and critical thinking collide, it’s not just about winning a debate—it’s about opening doors to deeper truth.

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.

Happy Religious Freedom Day (NOT!)
So Beloved Fearless Leader has issued a proclamation today, January 16th, 2012, that will forever enshrine this day as Religious Freedom Day. Says the edict from his royal majesty: Foremost among the rights Americans hold sacred is the freedom to worship as we choose. . . . Because of the protections guaranteed by our Constitution, each of […]
Book Review: Finding God in the Hobbit
The book up for review this month is Jim Ware’s Finding God in the Hobbit. Kurt Bruner writes the introduction, and muses upon the sadness of a childhood that didn’t involve hobbits when it could have. I have to agree. As an only child of a single mother, such fantasy books did not populate my […]

A few words up front: This is in no way an attempt to hijack a religious holiday from our spiritual elder brothers and sisters; far from it. But the simple fact is: It’s in the Bible. More to the point, it’s in the part of the Bible that Catholics accept as canonical (i.e.: infallibly part […]
The Psychological Effect of “Her Body, Her Choice”
Something I’ve wondered about, especially with the recent conviction of Kermit Gosnell, is how Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and other pro-choice advocacy groups claim themselves as the guardians of women’s health, yet work to silence women who have been hurt by the procedures and speak out. How can they claim these positions even with well-documented cases of the facilities’ foul […]
Why I Am Pro-Life: My Mothers’ Day Gift
With today being Mothers’ Day, I think it’s only appropriate that I thank my mother by offering insight as to why I am so firmly pro-life. I’ve been a Catholic my whole life and have always accepted the Church’s teachings on abortion, but it’s only within the last few years that I really understood how […]
A Commentary on Dogma and Change
In 1978, Karol Cardinal Wojtyla became Pope John Paul II. Having earlier written Love and Responsibility which later revolutionized Church teachings on sex and marriage and having been present at the Second Vatican Council, many changes were expected from the first-ever Slavic pope. Many thought that he would challenge doctrine on abortion, birth control, male-only priesthood, […]
