A Pontifical Attack on the Passion?
The latest pontifical attack on Church teaching occurs in the heart of Holy Week just as Catholics throughout the world are focusing on the Passion and Resurrection of Christ.
On Wednesday, March 28, Pope Francis was interviewed again by his long-time friend and favorite interviewer Eugenio Scalfari, who heads Italy’s La Repubblica daily. Scalfari, an atheist, asked the pope about his theories regarding creation and eternal life.
An Easter Invitation ... RSVP
This article is addressed especially to those among my good readers who are unbelievers and have not been approached by the real Christians who are supposed to be doing their job in telling you about the real good news of Jesus Christ. I often feel that most people have the idea that God is this huge, ANGRY monster, and He is just waiting for us to mess up! But He is not at all that.

The Day that Transformed the World Forever
Of all holidays, Easter is the one that celebrates a single event that transformed the world forever. There are many religions with different founders, prophets and teachers going back thousands of years, but only one of them has a founder who professed to be the messiah—the son of God who could save mankind.
What Easter Means to Me
I look at my life before Christ and I am struck by the fact that it doesn’t seem like my life. I was born again on Palm Sunday in 1980. I was thirty years old. That has been thirty-eight years ago. When I was first saved, I mourned for all the years I had spent wasting my life trying to do it on my own. I remember praying and asking God to give me as many years to serve Him as I had wasted denying Him. Now, that is just one of the answered prayers in my life.
The Night That God Came to the Camp Fire
Jesus’ disciples were greatly impressed at the miracles He was performing as they went about their evangelical business. He was healing the sick, restoring sight to the blind, regularly dodging death in various attempts on His life, and He even restored life to people who had died. Miracles were certainly flowing from the merciful heart of a loving God. But the miracles were also intended to drive home the authenticity of Jesus’ divinity and to underscore His invitation for our salvation. Just as we are told throughout Scripture, Jesus Christ - whether you want to hear it, or believe it, or not - is God in human flesh. He is that, even at this very moment!

Marvel’s third Thor outing is one “Val-helluva” way to get into the 4K disc market, and it’s also the best of the Thor outings to date.

Vatican Advances Fake Letter to turn Conservatives Against Church Tradition
What can be called an insidious attempt to use Benedict XVI to advance Pope Francis’ radical post-conciliar agenda has been exposed.
Early in the week the Catholic world had been abuzz over a letter sent by Benedict XVI to Vatican communications director Monsignor Dario Vigano, in which the former pontiff purportedly criticized Church conservatives for their “foolish prejudice” in not recognizing that “Pope Francis is a man of profound philosophical and theological formation.”
