Catholic Church and Science: 10 Things You Should Know Before You Start a Debate
"Religion is just a fairy tale for people who are scared of science." Really? That’s the line we’re still using? It’s 2026, and somehow the "Conflict Thesis", the idea that the Church and Science are locked in a cage match to the death, still has better PR than reality. It’s lazy. It’s historically illiterate. And […]
7 Mistakes You’re Making with Catholic History (and Why Constantine Didn’t Actually Invent the Church)
"Constantine invented the Catholic Church." It’s the ultimate "mic-drop" for people who haven't opened a history book since high school. It’s the "Get Out of Jail Free" card for anyone trying to argue that the early Church was a loose collection of hippie communes until a Roman Emperor decided to turn it into a political […]
Dinosaurs, the Big Bang, and the Church That Nodded Along: A 3-Minute Crash Course in Catholic Science
“The Catholic Church is against science.” That slogan has been running on fumes for a while. Yes, there have been Catholic mistakes, bad arguments, nervous theologians, and at least one famous Galileo-shaped mess. But the popular story, that the Church spent two thousand years hiding from dinosaurs, banning curiosity, and yelling at the Big Bang, […]
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 […]

Is the Eucharist Just A Symbol? Does Scripture DISPROVE the Real Presence!?
Scripture I. Old Testament (a). Foreshadowing of the Eucharistic Sacrifice Gen. 14:18 – this is the first time that the word “priest” is used in Old Testament. Melchizedek is both a priest and a king and he offers a bread and wine sacrifice to God. Psalm 76:2 – Melchizedek is the king of Salem. Salem […]
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 […]
When Desire Derails: The Subtle Self-Destruction of Lust and Its Ripple Effect
Unchecked lust isn’t just a private vice—it’s a fast lane to self-destruction, broken relationships, and lasting regret. Understanding its psychological and spiritual roots gives us a fighting chance to avoid the wreckage.
The History Of Christianity In One Comic (and a bunch of text)
In the last 500 years in particular, however, what Christianity is has gotten…”muddy.” Cloudy. Hazy. It’s hard to tell what is what, because by modest estimates, there are between 3,000 and 30,000 different Christian denominations in the world today. Some teach that there are no sacraments, some that there are 7. Some teach that Jesus was God […]
Evolution As It Relates To Human Sexuality
One common objection to religious belief is that science can explain everything. Perhaps the most intense discourse today is between evolution and creation. Many militant atheists assume that we do not accept the facts of history and science, but this is false. The Church simply states that everything did not happen by accident; we are made in […]
First Knight: The Life and Legacy of Father Michael J. McGivney
Every now and then at Mass, the Knights of Columbus carry out a Fourth Degree Honor Guard. You may occasionally see guys wearing a Knights of Columbus t-shirt or a lapel pin on their jacket. In this, my first contribution to the Saints segment, I present their founder, Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney. He may not […]
