Where Is That in the Bible? (And Other Questions for People Who Can’t Find the Remote)
"Where is that in the Bible?" It’s the ultimate Protestant mic-drop. It’s the "Get Out of Jail Free" card played during every Thanksgiving dinner when your Uncle Bob decides to take a swing at Purgatory or the Papacy. It’s the rhetorical equivalent of asking someone for their ID at a bar, if you don't have […]
Catholic Church and Science: 10 Things You Should Know Before You Start a Debate
"Religion is just a fairy tale for people who are scared of science." Really? That’s the line we’re still using? It’s 2026, and somehow the "Conflict Thesis", the idea that the Church and Science are locked in a cage match to the death, still has better PR than reality. It’s lazy. It’s historically illiterate. And […]
7 Mistakes You’re Making with Catholic History (and Why Constantine Didn’t Actually Invent the Church)
"Constantine invented the Catholic Church." It’s the ultimate "mic-drop" for people who haven't opened a history book since high school. It’s the "Get Out of Jail Free" card for anyone trying to argue that the early Church was a loose collection of hippie communes until a Roman Emperor decided to turn it into a political […]
Dinosaurs, the Big Bang, and the Church That Nodded Along: A 3-Minute Crash Course in Catholic Science
“The Catholic Church is against science.” That slogan has been running on fumes for a while. Yes, there have been Catholic mistakes, bad arguments, nervous theologians, and at least one famous Galileo-shaped mess. But the popular story, that the Church spent two thousand years hiding from dinosaurs, banning curiosity, and yelling at the Big Bang, […]
Catholic Apologetics 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Mastering Arguments That Actually Work
Stop trying to "win" arguments. Seriously. If your goal in Catholic apologetics is to walk away with a metaphorical trophy and a digital "mic drop" while the other person feels like a theological floor mat, you’ve already lost. I’ve been a catechist for over 20 years. I’ve seen every "gotcha" question in the book, from […]

What Does “Eat My Flesh” Mean? (PART I)
In this in-depth exploration, we dive into one of the most profound and debated teachings of Jesus recorded in John chapter 6. The phrase, “unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you,” has sparked centuries of theological discussion, division, and reflection among Christians […]

SPOILER ALERT Fr. Robert Barron takes some interesting points from the most recent James Bond flick, Skyfall.
The Big Bang Theory Was a Catholic Priest’s Idea (And Other Science Facts to Ruin a Skeptic’s Day)
"The Church is the enemy of science." It’s the slogan of the modern skeptic, usually shouted from the digital rooftops by someone whose last interaction with physics was a C-minus in high school and a three-hour YouTube marathon of "debunking" videos. It’s a comfortable narrative. It’s clean. It’s convenient. It’s also completely wrong. Yes, and […]
Faith in Practice
“Preach the Gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.” As a lifelong introvert, I love this quote by St. Francis of Assisi. It spells out the overarching guideline for living our lives, which has far more to do with what we do then how we talk about it. This entry originated from a friend of […]
Sainthood: The Catholic Church’s Medal of Honor
Protestants mistake saintly intercession for worship. They don’t understand that asking for the intercession of a saint is truly glorifying God by acknowledging their work for Him in their earthy lives. Consider the Parable of The Sower and how much seed was sewn, but the rather small amount that bore fruit. Now compare the United […]
Hanukkah: It’s a Catholic Thing!?
A few words up front: This is in no way an attempt to hijack a religious holiday from our spiritual elder brothers and sisters; far from it. But the simple fact is: It’s in the Bible. More to the point, it’s in the part of the Bible that Catholics accept as canonical (i.e.: infallibly part […]
