Home: Core Subjects: Apologetics: LINKS_PAGE Core Subjects: Apologetics: LINKS_PAGEArticles:Letter One: The Trouble with Experience - Mary EberstadtA wickedly witty satire, The Loser Letters: A Comic Tale of Life, Death and Atheism chronicles the conversion of a young adult Christian to atheism. Amid the many current books arguing for or against religion, social critic, and writer Mary Eberstadt's The Loser Letters is truly unique: a black comedy about theism and atheism that is simultaneously a rollicking defense of Christianity. Read more... Literalischtick - Mark SheaBill Maher is on the loose with his new film Religulous. Read more... Little Murders - The Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.Before I begin, I need to say what a friend of mine calls my "Litany to the IRS." Here it is. I'm not here to tell you how to vote. Read more... Long Before ‘Brainsoothing,’ God Created Serotonin - Donald DeMarcoYet another apologia for atheism is enjoying media hype and broad public attention. Read more... Look Who's a Believer Now - Timothy LarsenHave you ever heard the one about the Christian who started to study calculus and ended up losing his faith? Read more... Look Who's Irrational Now - Mollie Ziegler HemingwayThe New Atheist campaign, by discouraging religion, won't create a new group of intelligent, skeptical, enlightened beings. Far from it: It might actually encourage new levels of mass superstition. And that's not a conclusion to take on faith -- it's what the empirical data tell us. Read more... Love - PETER KREEFTWithout qualification, without ifs, ands, or buts, God's word tells us, straight as a left jab, that love is the greatest thing there is. Read more... Love is not tolerance - BISHOP FULTON J. SHEENChristian love bears evil, but it does not tolerate it. Read more... Love Sees with New Eyes - Peter KreeftThere is a dimension of truth which most of us have tragically lost and need to recover, a dimension that cannot be put into words and sentences, though words and sentences can be used to suggest it. Read more... Loving Lent - Jennifer GrahamCatholic or not, a little deprivation goes a long way. Read more... Married Priests - Matthew PintoWhy are priests not allowed to Marry? Read more... Mary and the Moslems - Fulton J. SheenMary is for the Moslems the true Sayyida, or Lady. The only possible serious rival to her in their creed would be Fatima, the daughter of Mohammed himself. But after the death of Fatima, Mohammed wrote: "Thou shalt be the most blessed of all the women in Paradise, after Mary." In a variant of the text, Fatima is made to say: "I surpass all the women, except Mary." Read more... Mary, Holy Mother - Scott HahnThere is probably nothing more disturbing to Protestants than the profound devotion which Catholics have for the Blessed Virgin Mary. Read more... Mere Spirituality - Donald DeMarco“I believe in spirituality, not religion,” says TV’s Bill Maher, as he punctuates the “R” word with a sneer. He speaks for many. But mere spirituality, unprotected by a sound religion, will marry itself to whatever is in the neighborhood. And the first thing lurking in the neighborhood is usually the ego. Read more... Mere Theism: The Case for God - Mark SheaMark Shea says that belief in the existence of God is eminently reasonable. Read more... Miracles - Father Dwight LongneckerCatholics are people who live quite easily with the possibility of miracles, while not being that impressed by them. Read more... Missing Mass for No Reason - Rev. William SaundersI was visiting relatives over Easter, and sadly they do not attend Mass. I went to Mass, and reminded them that missing Mass was a mortal sin. They said, "Oh, that was in the old days. Missing Mass is no longer a mortal sin." What do you say? Please give me some ammunition. Read more... Mission Britannia. The Sun Shines in Glasgow - Sandro MagisterThe journey of Benedict XVI begins in Scotland. The meeting with the queen. The Mass with the people. A celebration of faith in the kingdom of the incredulous. With a prologue on the scandal of pedophilia. Read more... Monasteries and Madrassas: Five Myths About Christianity, Islam, and the Middle Ages - H.W. Crocker IIIDoes Islam need a Reformation? Not unless you think it would benefit from additional dollops of Puritanism; further encouragement to smash altars, stained glass, and other forms of “idolatry”; prodding to ban riotous celebrations like Christmas and Easter; and support for fundamentalist Islamic schools that insist on sola Korana and sola Sunnah. Read more... Mushy Christianity - Michael NovakOne of the greatest of recent seductions by that wily devil Screwtape -- perfectly fitted to the times -- is to puff a tiny sugar crystal of Christianity into sweetish airy cotton candy. "IN-clusiveness!" he will insist. "Christianity is about nothing if not IN-clusiveness." Read more... My Journey out of the Lefebvre Schism - Envoy MagazineIf you’re a Catholic who’s faithful to the Church’s teaching Magisterium, you’ve probably met up with followers of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre’s 1988 schism, known as the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX). They’re filled with devotion to the Blessed Mother, extremely conservative with regard to most moral issues afflicting the Western world today, and quite reverent before the Blessed Sacrament during their old Latin liturgies. In short, on the surface, adherents to Archbishop Lefebvre’s schism appear to be devout Catholics. Read more... My Path to Rome - Ian HunterThe story of my conversion is the story of four men: Pope John Paul II, my father (albeit, an unwitting guide), C. S. Lewis, and Malcolm Muggeridge. It is the story of the Church's decision to publish a comprehensive Catechism of the Christian faith, and of a priest willing to go beyond the requirements of his office to fetch one lost sheep out of the wilderness. It is the story of faithful Catholics who prayed. And above all, first, last, and always, it is the same old story that it always is – a story of God's grace and forgiveness and love. Deo gratias. Read more... My Take: Why Christians should pray for Christopher Hitchens - Father Robert BarronI think it's fair to say that Hitchens is playing today the role that another brilliant Englishman, Bertrand Russell, played nearly a century ago, namely that of religion's public enemy No. 1. Read more... Myth 1: Atheists Are Smarter - Father Thomas D. Williams, L.C.It is a common myth of our day, not surprisingly propagated by atheists, that religious believers are undereducated folk who have abandoned the use of reason in favor of blind faith. Read more... Myth 2: Religion Does More Harm Than Good - Father Thomas D. Williams, LCIn their attacks on God and religion, the neo-atheist authors such as Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris are especially vehement in their accusations concerning the effects of religion on the public order.
