Beyond the Verse: What Protestants and Catholics Overlook About the Bible’s Origins
You’ll never look at a Bible’s table of contents the same way again: Protestants and Catholics alike accept things about the Bible that aren’t written in scripture. For Catholics, that’s no scandal—tradition and Church authority are part of the story. If you’re ever hit with a “show-me-a-verse” challenge, remember: sometimes the answer isn’t in a verse at all.
Reading Between the Lines: Paul’s Allegory of Hagar and Sarah in Galatians 4

The Writing on the Ground
This Sunday’s gospel presents us with the story of the woman caught in adultery (not, of course, the man). The scribes and pharisees come to Jesus to test whether he’ll be obedient to the law of Moses, which prescribed death for such a one, or to Roman laws, which outlawed capital punishment by anyone but […]
The Election of Pope Francis I in Pictures.
He’s the first Francis, the first Jesuit, the first American, etc. His papacy will probably be noted for its accent on humility.
Young Earth Creationism vs. Old Earth Evolution: The Catholic Position.
God is Love. He perfect, omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omnibenevolent (all good). Being Love in his very essence, he gives freely of himself to another, for the sake of the other, expecting nothing in return. God created us precisely because He is Love, and desired to share himself with us freely, expecting nothing in return. In those […]
The End Game of Gender-less Marriage
True story: Last month, there was a writers panel in Sydney, that addressed the topic of marriage. Titled tongue-in-cheek as “Why get married when you can be happy,” some of the participants tipped their cards rather tellingly on what the marriage re-definition issue is really about. The real winner of a quote comes from Masha […]
Staring Into History: Finding the Beauty of Catholic Teachings in The Stars
In my fifth grade science class, we learned about “light pollution.” It didn’t make sense until seven years later when I left for college. I visited home one weekend and went to a friend’s house and finally understood the “light pollution” that my science teacher had talked about years earlier. I’d become so used to […]
A Confession Reflection for the Season that is Lenten
I spoke in my previous entry about Pope Francis’ enthusiasm for the Sacrament of Confession. According to Catholic Radio, he decided to pursue his vocation to the priesthood while attending Confession. The majority of Catholics rarely, if ever attend Confession, a sacrament about which I am very passionate. In a shared objection with non-Catholics, many disagree […]
