Jesse Ray here: There is a trendy video floating around youtube that tries to drive a wedge between Jesus and Religion.

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 book and a review evaluate the sad but predictable situation. The Zenit article begins: 1. Churches do have an active engagement with teens, but many of the young people do not grow up to be faithful adult followers of Christ. 2. There are a variety of reasons people drop out, so it is important [...]

I recommend taking 30 minutes to watch this video. A Protestant Christian is confronting people on the street. He starts with Hitler and the slaughter of innocent people and then uses it with precision in his questions about abortion, heaven and hell.

St. Joseph Communication’s passionate and prayerful appeal to their dear friend Fr. Corapi. This is the best I’ve seen or heard yet. Bravo to Terry Barber, Jesse Romero and the other two, including Fr. Corapi’s former body guard. Be sure to watch this video.
