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 […]

Debate Dynamics: How Faith, Logic, and Scripture Collide in Godlogic’s Dialogue with a Muslim Thinker
When faith and critical thinking collide, it’s not just about winning a debate—it’s about opening doors to deeper truth. Godlogic’s approach shows how persistence, honest questions, and appeals to reason can challenge even the strongest convictions, reminding readers that every theology must withstand close scrutiny.
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 […]
“This Horrible and Hateful War on People”
This post is about “That Law,” that was passed by the house in Kansas, my home state, but likely won’t go further. More to the point, it’s about all the hullabaloo that has surrounded it, “this horrible and hateful war on people,” as one blogger put it (who, by the way, started her piece with […]
The Flaws of “Sexual Compatibility”
With today’s divorce rate, no one who wants marriage wants any shadow of doubt. It’s easy to understand a couple wanting to know each other as much as possible before marrying. Around this time last year, I published a non-religious defense of saving sex for marriage on Girls Ask Guys (I’ve talked about this […]
Contraception: An Equal or Greater Evil than Abortion?
Many people argue that abortion is the greatest evil in our society. I take a slightly different view. I believe that contraception is an equal, if not even greater, evil than abortion is. I say this because of all that has been unleashed since the pill was introduced in 1961 and legalized in 1965, everything from […]
