(And please read my post here for a more comprehensive response to the sexual abuse scandal in general.) By Archbishop [...]
When Christianity is (or Christians are) persecuted it is easy to get defensive or to respond in kind. But if we do that, we miss out on a very powerful opportunity to evangelize – to be the authentic kind of Christian that changes hearts without saying a word.

It’s always neat to see people apply their talents directly to evangelization. It’s something we are all called to do in one way or another with whatever small talents we happen to have. Here’s a guy who uses dance in his ministry to help share his personal journey from atheism to Catholicism. Fun to watch!

Support a Catholic Speaker Month is finally complete and it only took slightly longer than a month! :-) I must say, this turned out way cooler than I had ever thought it would.

The goal was to create a rising Catholic tide on the internet that lifts all boats (websites, speakers, and all those who participate) by having a different Catholic blogger [...]
I’ve just ended voting for our big poll on who are your favorite Catholic speakers of 2009. We had over 3000 people pick their 10 favorites. Such an amazing turnout for the short time we had the poll up. Thank you so much to all who participated! So where are the results? Well, they’re coming. [...]
Nominations are now closed for the poll highlighting your favorite Catholic speakers of 2009. Now it’s time to vote! We ended up with exactly 100 nominees! Pretty exciting and cool! We’re sorry if there is anyone missing from the poll this year. We did the best we could in a short amount of time and [...]
What Catholic speaker has influenced your life the most? Each individual gets ten picks when they vote (because it’s too hard to choose just one) on the ballot below! Please help spread the word to your Catholic friends. I don’t have any big cash prizes for the winners but they do get: A post outlining [...]
