The volume is a detailed analysis of Vice and Sin and the remedy for each. Drawing from many sources but mainly the teaching of Saint Tomas Aquinas, Father Basil Cole, a professor of Moral Theology helps break down Saint Tomas's teaching and apply it to our everyday ...
The Catholic Controversy. It's a phrase that seems as old as the bible and as modern as present day. The Catholic faith has never been short of controversy and over the centuries it has endured challenge after challenge from bot outside and from within.
One such controversy was when 72,000 Calvinists in Chablais had separated themselves from the Roman Church. Their reasons were seemingly...

One such controversy was when 72,000 Calvinists in Chamblais had separated themselves from the Roman Church.
How can we really begin to understand the Bible? It's a fairly daunting task to approach the reading of the bible from cover to cover. It is loaded with history, law, prophecy, stories and the Holy word of God. Sacred Scripture requires attention and understanding and frankly, time to absorb and comprehend the Word of God.
as 2 Timothy 3:16 states All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correc...
The classic Learning test (CLT). We all, in one way or another, have been tested. Tests are designed to help us to know where we are, but they can also act as goal and provide a marker of sorts in our progress toward an education or knowledge about something.
Tests and testing are also an important passage way toward the next level of our education as we learn and grow. We have no doubt h...
Memento Mori. Latin phrases have a way of tickling our intellect, even when we perhaps do not fully understand them. A short phrase like Memento Mori let's us know that latin can accomplish much with two words. The short phrase translates to "Remember Death", or another translation also suggests this overall thought; "that a person remember that he will one day die. One day our earthly e...
The book complied by Paul Thigpen, The Life of Saint Joseph as Seen by the Mystics. Often thought of as the silent Saint - The Blessed Saint Joseph, is a quiet and strong figure. The man who was the foster father of Jesus on this earth is a somewhat mysterious figure often prompting questions or quick judgements. In some ways he very much in the background and not a single word he spoke was recorded in sacred scripture. This for re...
CHRISTMAS BLOSSOMS - Priscilla Smith McCaffrey

It's a time to prepare for the celebration of the arrival of Jesus and to remember Him in...
ALTER CHRISTUS - Fr. Ezra Sullivan O.P.
Alter Christus is a latin term for how a Holy Priest acts as "another Christ" and it is the title of a book prepared by Fr. Ezra Sullivan.
The Authority that flows from the Kingship of Christ into this world, through his Holy Church and Holy priests seems to have been mangled in Modernism and the modern world. The role and Authority of Priests themselves in our lives has eroded over ...
The Once and Future roman Rite. R.I.T.E. No matter what time we are living in, we are always living in God’s Time. Sometimes the future is found in the past. Sometimes we must move toward tradition, a way that we once did things in order to understand what "was" and use that new understanding of the "old way" to shape our future.
Long before the New World Order was a catch phrase everyon...
THE SECRET OF THE HOLY FACE - Fr. Lawrence Carney III
The secret of the Holy Face. The human face is a is a window into a person's life. Our face, The face we present to the world and the faces of people we know and see are a focal point to our humanity.
