Scientifically this is big news. In the January 2012 edition of New Scientist Magazine it was stated that scientists are now facing up to the problem of the universe having a beginning – until recently they could postulate that it was eternal and the main theories to support this were “eternal inflation” and “multiverses”. However, [...]

“Life is all about the Journey, not the Destination!” I saw this sign at the airport today. Imagine, in an airport of all places! What stupidity! Tell passengers arriving at the airport to catch a flight, “Take any flight, sir, it doesn’t matter; it’s not about your destination, it’s only about the experience of the [...]

THE SKULL TALKS TO ME EVERY MORNING! It says, “As you are now, I once was; as I am now, you soon shall be — remember your mortality!” No better way to approach Ash Wednesday and 40 days of Lent. Artists have painted St. Jerome with a skull on his desk. Popes were known to keep [...]

Wish I could make a composite candidate: 1) Gingrich’s knowledge and debate skills; 2) Santorum’s faith and passion; 3) Romney’s money and organization; 4) Paul’s constitutionality and fiscal sanity (in some ways). They all have their negatives too. At this point if I were forced to choose between these fou it would probably be Santorum. [...]

It seems apparent that St. Paul DOES pray for the dead. Here is my short article that gives a pretty clear example of St. Paul praying for a dead man, a man named Onesiphorus.

I have great friends who are Legionaries, and some Consecrated as well. These are wonderful people serving God and his Church with all their being. They do great work, are loyal and ready to die for Christ. Their university in Rome is top-notch and I have taught classes there. These good folks deserve better than [...]
