I saw Kerry Kennedy’s book on the shelf in the bookstore recently and took a quick peek at it. That was long enough. The book includes chapters from numerous “public” Catholics containing their own thoughts on what it means to “Be Catholic Now.” It’s a sad reflection of how even so many intelligent, well meaning [...]
Another one of my absolute favorite quotes by Chesterton (the Great).
“Where is this Holy Sea, that I might swim in it?” Sounds like fun. However, it’s not that kind of sea. “Holy See” actually comes from the Latin, Sancta Sedes, which also means Holy Chair. It is short for “Holy Apostolic See.”

Using hyperbole to make [...]
This is such an excellent video. It captures the beauty and truth of the Catholic Church in a very well done two minute video. CatholicsComeHome.org (the organization behind it) has aired it as a commercial in select areas with great success already. And there are plans to get it in front of national TV audiences. [...]
Imagine getting an email from your bishop. Or getting a txt message from your pastor. Imagine receiving a Facebook notification to remind you about a ministry meeting tonight. Imagine, as a leader, being able to post information in one place and then have it blasted out to your entire group via email, txt msg, Facebook, [...]
