No Enemies? You have no enemies, you say? Alas, my friend, the boast is poor; He who has mingled in the fray Of duty, that the brave endure, Must have made foes! If you have none, Small is the work that you have done. You’ve hit no traitor on the hip, You’ve dashed no cup [...]

This study was originally a part of a letter written to an “ecumenically-sensitive” Catholic who was part of a group that abandoned certain Catholic distinctives (such as crossing themselves, displaying the crucifix, venerating the Blessed Virgin, etc.) in an effort to “not offend the Protestant brethren”. The end result was an emasculated Catholicism, a group [...]

A friend of mine, Randy Carson, wrote this insightful article: Ironically, while one group of Protestants is touting “once saved always saved” another group is stating that you can never really be sure who has REAL faith until the end because it might turn out that one is “overcome” by the world at the last [...]

He is uttering muffled chants under his breath and bobbing up and down. His gray beard is waggig under his serious eyes and his black yalmulka. His black suitcoat covers his prayer shawl with the many knotted tassles dangling below. His Hebrew Prayer Book is open as he stands facing Jerusalem. Which way is Jerusalem? [...]

www.CWN.com says "It's not a quick read. This is heavy material, and the document spans 76 pages. But Pope Benedict has a real gift for putting profound ideas into simple sentences.

One evening an old priest told about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil. It is lust, anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It [...]

The skull is talking to me 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 skulls [...]
