This was very clever. A friend posted it on my site. “When someone tells me they are non-denominational — I tell them I am pre-denominational.” For those who don’t get it: pre-denomination means “before the Protestant Reformation (read: Rebellion).” The Protestants gave birth to the every multiplying denominations. Before them there was the pre-denomination — [...]

We visited Guadalupe Parish in Midland Texas and found this sign at the front door. I thought it was a good idea. I recalled the girl sitting in front of me last Sunday at Mass chewing like a cow with smacking slurping sounds. Gum at Communion is not a good idea either — chew, chew, [...]

A dapper middle-aged man and an older black woman–both very nice, polite and full of smiles. The grandkids saw them coming and said, “Someone’s coming to the door; we don’t know who they are.” They always come at such inopportune times.

I love St. Paul and love to write about him and his epistles. I also enjoyed traveling through six countries filming his life story and theology. St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans is often seen as impossible to understand except by theologians and most skip right over this masterpiece. With hopes that you will take [...]

My son Jesse was trying to get five wiggly kids to sit still for a family picture on his iPhone. The timer ran out and the picture snapped — who could have planned the funny result? The fist is swung by new baby Daniel Xavier and the the optical illusion has Elizabeth Bella Rose getting [...]

Michael lived in Saudi Arabia and was a member of a Sunni Muslim family. His story is educational especially for those who want to understand Islam. Many people think it is impossible or at least very difficult for a Muslim to become a Christian. Michael’s story will be instructive. Michael said he wrote it to [...]

January 20 Update Update by Dr. Ed Peters responding to “help defuse some of the more distracting chatter floating around out there. He addresses two further issues: 1) The Archdiocese of Detroit, some claim, does not have jurisdiction over Voris/RCTV; 2) Why not shut down a lot of others using the word “Catholic” out there? [...]
