Articles:The Revenge of Conscience - J. BUDZISZEWSKIThere is a “natural law” of human behaviour, a universal law of right and wrong action, carved on the human heart. Email This Article The Roman Primacy and the Spiritual Life - Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.Until recent years, we would hardly have written on a subject like “The Roman Primacy and the Spiritual Life.” But much has happened to call for some inquiry into the relationship between faith in the papal primacy and growth in the spiritual life. Email This Article The Sacraments - PETER KREEFTProtestants don’t see why Catholics who come to disagree with essential teachings of the Church don’t just leave. The answer is symbolized by the sanctuary lamp. They do not leave the Church because they know that the sacramental fire burns there on the ecclesiastical hearth. Even if they do not see by its light, they want to be warmed by its fire. The real presence of Christ in the Eucharist is a magnet drawing lost sheep home and keeping would-be strays from the deathly snows outside. The Church’s biggest drawing card is not what she teaches, crucial as that is, but who is there. “He is here! Therefore I must be here.” Email This Article The Scholars and the Goddess - Charlotte AllenWICCA, sometimes known as the Goddess movement, Goddess spirituality, or the Craft, appears to be the fastest-growing religion in America. Thirty years ago only a handful of Wiccans existed. One scholar has estimated that there are now more than 200,000 adherents of Wicca and related "neopagan" faiths in the United States, the country where neopaganism, like many formal religions, is most flourishing. Email This Article The Second Coming - Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J.After professing the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus at the right hand of the Father, the Nicene Creed next affirms: “He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.” Email This Article The Seven Daily Habits of Holy Apostolic People - Rev. C. John McCloskeyYou are reading this because you are interested in taking your spiritual life more seriously from this point on. You heartily assent to one of the key points of the Second Vatican Council: the importance of the doctrine of the universal call to holiness. Email This Article The Son Is Equal to the Father - Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J.Since many heretics (particularly the Arians) in the early Church denied the divinity of Jesus Christ, the Church in her Creed or “rule of Catholic Faith” pays special attention to the procession of the Son from the Father. Email This Article The Spirituality of St. Thomas Aquinas - ROMANUS CESSARIO, O.P.We see Aquinas's spiritual self-understanding reveals his deep personal love for Jesus Christ in the words that he spoke before receiving the blessed Eucharist for the last time: "I now receive you who are the price of my soul's redemption, I receive you who are the food for my final journey, and for the love of whom I have studied, kept vigil, and struggled; Email This Article The Stages of World Religion — part 4 - Christopher DawsonThis concluding section of The Stages of World Religion, as shown in the different books of Christopher Dawson, deals with Stages VI and VII, the period from the Renaissance and the Reformation down to the 20th century. Because of the breakup of the Catholic synthesis which had brought the Hellenic and Hebraic traditions together in a common unity, the culture of the West is now vulnerable to the invasion of alternative syntheses of thought and culture. Email This Article The Strength and Compassion of Shania Twain - DONALD DEMARCOIn helping to reverse the misfortunes of others, Shania Twain is doing through music, what Charles Dickens did through his novels. Her identification with compassion for hungry children has not abated because, as she tells us, “I was that hungry kid.” Shania Twain’s adversity formed her compassion and her strength, and it is to her honor and credit that it retains priority in her heart far above all the trappings of her extraordinary success.
