Headlines The Theophany or Baptism of the Lord: Why Was Jesus Baptized? What Does it Mean? By Deacon Keith Fournier | January 12, 2014 The Christian vocation, no matter what our state in life, job, or specific response to God\'s call, is to reveal the Love of the Trinity to the entire human race, to bring them to the Waters of Baptism in order to encounter the Lord and experience New Life and be incorporated into the new humanity of the Church, which is the Body of Christ. There, joined in Him and with one another, we are called to participate in His ongoing redemptive mission until He returns to make all things new. We are invited on this Feast to grasp ever more deeply the heart of the Christian life and to choose to live our lives in the Lord, by living in the heart of the Church for the sake of the world.

By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | January 10, 2014 A British professor has translated the Hebrew "Treatise of the Vessels" which lists the treasures of King Solomon. Among the list is the Ark of the Covenant. Continue Reading... Pope Francis makes special plea, but will Catholics really listen? By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | January 9, 2014 Pope Francis continues to call for aid to the poor as the holiday season ends. The Holy Father has set a goal to eradicate global hunger by distributing food more equitably around the world and he has called on all faithful Catholics to help. It's a call that can't be answered by a single second collection at Mass. Continue Reading... Does Pope Francis Really Support Liberation Theology? By Catholic Online | January 10, 2014 According to one Telegraph reporter, Pope Francis is somehow bringing Liberation Theology into the mainstream of the Catholic Church. Is Pope Francis a secret part of a leftist movement or is this one more example of a media which simply does not take the time to actually listen to what this Pope says? Continue Reading... Obama Administration Continues Efforts to Stop School Choice in Louisiana By Deacon Keith Fournier | January 12, 2014 Governor Jindal is a hero to many because of his courageous defense of the rights of parents concerning the education of their children. Every parent should be able to choose where to send their children to school, not just those who are wealthy. This is not a liberal or conservative issue; it is an issue of what is right, for our children, for our parents, and for our Nation. Continue Reading... Solidarity and Subsidiarity: Take Back Government and Reframe the Language of Political Action By Keith A Fournier | January 12, 2014 We are in a midterm election year and the shaping of the contest is already underway in the political word-smithing which is all around us. President Obama was the first out of the gate, using the phrase income equality in his undeterred effort to reshape the American polity by proposing an increasingly large Federal government which controls the both the economic marketplace and the marketplace of ideas. My sincere hope is that those who are gathering together to try to stop the slide into such a larger Federalized governing model do not make the consistent mistake of espousing and using language which feeds the caricature painted of them by their opponents. The caricature is to paint anyone who opposes centralized, federalized governance as being anti-Government. The caricature is to cast anyone who disagrees with the rhetoric of top down federalized governing as being against the poor and against fairness. This is untrue. Continue Reading... Fr. Paul Schenck: Learning the Way of Love From the Jesus Who Still Reaches Out to Us By Fr. Paul Schenck | January 10, 2014 There is only one way out of this threatening storm of lovelessness: to reach out to the God-who-is-love-himself and ask Jesus into our hearts and lives and let him calm that storm of emptiness and take us into his own truly loving embrace. That alone will meet our deepest need, answer to our nature and fulfill our longing. Those in the boat, who had failed to recognize the Lord of Love in the Eucharist, whose hearts were hardened and had lost all hope, were completely astounded, when Love himself personally came to them and calmed their fears. We too will find true and lasting, everlasting, Love - when Jesus personally comes to us. Continue Reading... Culture, Its Delights and Distractions: How a Sport Benefits the Culture By Deal W. Hudson | January 9, 2014 Many golfers still remember the scene at the final hole of the 1995 Masters Golf Tournament-Ben Crenshaw weeping for joy, bent over, head in hands, while his caddy Carl Jackson comforts him. In that image, many of us noticed something almost lost, nearly extinct, in American manners-the gratitude of a pious man who loves his game. Among professional sports, golf is the last outpost for such a sensibility. Continue Reading... Obama Administration Asks Supreme Court to Force Little Sisters of the Poor to Pay for Condoms, Sterilization and Chemical Abortions By Deacon Keith Fournier | January 12, 2014 The Little Sisters correctly insist that sterilizations, abortifacient chemical birth control and artificial contraception are all immoral. They are not only against the teaching of the scripture and Christian tradition but, as Catholics, the Sisters also maintain that they violate the Natural Moral Law.The Obama administration has asked the Court to compel these Little Sisters of the Poor to do indirectly what they refuse to do directly. They asked the Court to force Catholic nuns to sin, to act against conscience, to pursue an immoral course of action. The nuns are placed in a situation reminiscent of other times in the history of the Church when unjust rulers sought to compel the Church to bend the knee to Caesar. Continue Reading...
