Headlines Gossip 'fills the heart with bitterness and also poisons us,' Pope Francis says By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 17, 2014 Pope Francis' Sunday Angelus message emphasized the importance of avoiding all forms of slander in living a Christian life.

Charles Carroll of Carrollton: A Catholic Legacy By Maureen Adams | February 17, 2014 Charles Carroll did not know he was to become a signer of the Declaration of Independence when, writing to his father from France, told him, "I trust in the mercy of God not my own merits, which are none, & hope he will pardon my daily offences. . . . I love him though far less than his infinite goodness deserves & I could wish to do". Carroll would go on to become the first Catholic political leader in the colonies and the only Catholic to sign the Declaration. Continue Reading... Planned Parenthood is An Evil Organization That Takes the Lives of Children By Deacon Keith Fournier | February 17, 2014 There is no moral distinction between what Planned Parenthood does and the intentional killing of a child outside of the womb. In addition, the time thresholds of "viability" under the insane and indefensible structure forced upon us by the Supreme Court's Roe and Doe decisions keep getting pushed back as our technology reveals the truth about our smallest neighbors. Science has confirmed what our consciences have known all along, every procured abortion kills a child. Our positive or civil law has rejected the Natural Law Right to Life and its prohibition against these intentional homicides committed against our youngest neighbors through procured abortions. Until the positive law is changed to reflect the truth, our tax dollars must no longer be used to engage in this evil. Continue Reading... Ugh! Here we go again. Pope Francis speaks, the media jumps to conclusions. Now you don't HAVE to go to Mass, really? By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 13, 2014 Pope Francis has made a startling statement, but it's not surprising when viewed in the proper context. Pope Francis has said that people do not need to go to Mass, but it doesn't mean what people assume. Continue Reading... Are you a good Samaritan? Here's a simple test By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 17, 2014 How many people really care? Are you a caring person? Pope Francis spoke last year about the Good Samaritan as a person who cared. We'd all like to think we fit into this category, but how many of us combine 'Prayer and Action' to truly fill the role the proverbial role? Continue Reading... Dare We Hope All Are Saved? When Do We Abandon Hope? By Andrew M. Greenwell, Esq. | February 17, 2014 The question of whether we may reasonably hope all men are saved--a theory espoused by the Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar among others--must be analyzed with reference to the Church's teaching on the particular judgment which occurs immediately upon an individual's death. It is the Church's teaching that the eternal fate of that soul is then sealed: either Heaven directly (or indirectly via Purgatory) or Hell. A soul in the state of sanctifying grace obtains the former judgment. The unfortunate soul who dies in mortal sin obtains the latter. Von Balthasar's theory, therefore, cannot be applied to souls that have been judged by God in the particular judgment immediately following death without running afoul of the Church's teaching. Souls condemned to Hell in the particular judgment are past salvation, and it is not reasonable to hope for their salvation. Continue Reading... It Was Said of Jesus, He Has Done All Things Well. Do We? Reflecting on Human Work By Deacon Keith Fournier | February 17, 2014 Jesus did all things well. Do We? How do we view our daily work? How do we understand our own labor in the light of what the Catholic Church proclaims about the dignity of all human work, no matter what kind, because it is done by human persons created in the Image and Likeness of God. It is time to examine human work in the light of the Gospel.Let us ask the Holy Spirit to renew our minds. Let us ask for the grace we need to begin to live this gospel or good news of work in the way in which we engage in all human labor. We are invited to receive work as a gift and invitation to participate in God's loving, creative and redemptive work. Christians need to bear witness to its value just as we bear witness to the inherent value and dignity of every human worker. We are also called to do it well. Continue Reading...

New theory from scientists now say that Turin Shroud could be REAL By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 13, 2014 Carbon dating tests conducted in 1988 on the Shroud of Turin suggested the cloth was only 728 years old, and therefore the faint apparition of a crucified man - believed to be Jesus Christ, was likely to be a forgery. Now, scientists say an earthquake back in 33 A.D. may have confused carbon dating techniques - and the released radiation could be responsible for the image on the cloth. Continue Reading...
