Don’t know about where you live — but here in Ann Arbor Michigan it is cold! But Janet and I don’t mind and we’ve been walking to keep in shape and enjoy the outdoors. It snowed last night so it was fun looking at all the track little creatures left in the fresh powdery snow, [...]

This show was on the new station in Baton Rouge (“next door” to Jimmy Swaggart). You can listen to the archived show here. You will have to move the tab to about the middle of the show which is where i talk about the Immaculate Conception.

No, it was something the Holy Family did at least once a year! Look what the Catechism says: “[Jesus'] public ministry itself was patterned by his pilgrimages to Jerusalem for the great Jewish feasts” (583). And the Psalmist wrote: “Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage” (Psa 119:54 in RSV-Catholic [...]

A while ago a Protestant friend tried to prove that Born Again by “water and Spirit” did not mean baptism. Here is one paragraph that he sent me: In John, chapter 3, Jesus told Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews and a Pharisee, that one must be born ‘from above’ (Gr. anothen) in order to enter the [...]

This time we will talk about the last half of Mary’s life including Cana, Calvary, Pentecost and her Assumption and Queenship. (Picture: Statue in Nazareth of the pregnant Mary of Nazareth.) Cana was a [...]

If you haven’t purchased the United States Bishops’ little booklet entitled The Authentic Jesus: Catholic Belief versus Modern Fiction, then I recommend you go to the USCCB website and purchase a few copies along with their DVD. This booklet takes 20 minutes to read but it is an EXCELLENT short rebuttal to the DaVinci Code and [...]

Someone wrote a friend of mine asserting that 2 Timothy 3:16 proved that Scripture alone was all we needed. The famous passage reads, “All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” [...]

Studying Scripture like this is one of my favorite things to do in the whold world. Nice little tidbits pop out, like the one I found yesterday. When God said to Abraham: ”Take Isaac, your only son, the one whom you love, and offer him up on a mountain which I will show you,” he did not give [...]

St. Peter in the New Testament What Do We Know About Him? Peter is the big rugged fisherman who became the humble servant of the servants of God. Jesus chose him from among the Twelve to be the leader and the visible head of the Church. What do we know about Peter from the New [...]

A while ago I put together a list of over 35 questions for “Bible Christians” who reject the Catholic Church but believe in sola Scriptura — the Bible Alone. This issue is the Achilles Heel of the Bible Only Protestant tradition. By the way, the early Church had not such tradition. This novel idea only [...]

Are you an American that happens to be Catholic? or, Are you a Catholic that happens to be an American? If you are a citizen of another country, the same question applies. Paul wrote, “But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 3:20, NAB)

We miss a lot when reading the English Bible. We’re at a great disadvantage. The early Christians read the writings of the apostles in the original language — they understood the words and expressions must better than we do. For example, Paul writes that he considers all things as refuse that he might gain Christ [...]

(Picture: My favorite picture of St. Joseph by Tissott) My article a while ago in THIS ROCK Magazine is entitled Should We Call Joseph the Father of Jesus? It starts out with three options: Joseph was possibly the biological father of Jesus, but the Gospels deny the fact, claiming he was the product of a [...]

When arguments about salvation arise between Catholics and Protestants, the Bibles are usually opened to Galatians and Romans. Are we saved by faith alone or are works involved? Protestants quickly accuse Catholics of teaching a salvation based on works and Catholics quickly point out that Protestants have swung the pendulum too far in the other [...]

I’ve has created a Sacraments Chart showing the Biblical basis for each sacrament, the Catechism paragraphs, the form, the matter, the frequency and more. Excellent for teaching children, CCD and RCIA classes and for a handy reference. The chart was developed to go along with my comprehensive audio tape series on The Seven Sacraments: Food [...]
