When I first became a Christian, and then a Catholic, prayer was one of those things that came with a lot of questions. How do I do it? Why should I do it? What does it do? What should I expect? And I think a lot of those questions can easily persist for people well into their spiritual journeys.

Why I don’t Criticise the Pope!
In order to understand why I think Catholics should, generally, avoid criticizing the Pope and why I, especially, refuse to do so publicly, is by first understanding the Church through the analogy of a family.
How to Lose Your Soul (And How to Save It)
Friends, if your soul is rightly ordered, it can handle anything. However, if you gain the world but sacrifice your soul for fame or fortune, you’ve lost everything. Getting this right is the fulcrum upon which the spiritual life turns.
Mighty Ones, Look Upon Your Works and Despair
Friends, are you spending your time building a pedestal for yourself, or are you breathing life into others? Think about the fact that whatever legitimate authority you have, it ultimately comes from God. And then think about how you’re cooperating with and best using that grace.
Why Being Good Is Not Enough
Friends, no indication whatsoever is given in Scripture that the moral prescriptions are somehow more important than the liturgical prescriptions. Being a good person is not enough—it’s crucially important to be aligned to God in his divine splendor through ritual and ceremony. My concern is, as our churches begin to open, that some may forget the vital importance and essentiality of the Mass.
Vatican Condemns Community “We” Baptisms as Invalid
Dr. Taylor Marshall discusses the release of the Vatican document on the ‘Community Baptism’ or what is more commonly referred to as the ‘we baptism’ form. This form has been declared ‘invalid’ by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Dr. Marshall explains why this is so, as well as other forms that are also invalid.
St. Katharine Drexel, the Pope, and Personal Action
Friends, I encourage you to watch this clip from our “CATHOLICISM” series on St. Katharine Drexel. As a wealthy young laywoman, disturbed by the treatment of Native Americans, she traveled to Rome and had an audience with Pope Leo XIII. She begged the Holy Father to create an order of priests or nuns to teach and love the Native Americans.

How Can Birth Control Be Wrong? Part I
Learn about the Catholic Church’s teaching on contraception in this FREE three-part video series.
Part I: Biblical and philosophical basis for the Catholic Church’s teaching on contraception.
In this video, I explain the biblical and philosophical basis for the Catholic Church’s teaching on contraception—by far the most controversial
How Can Birth Control Be Wrong? Part II
This is Part Two of a three-part video series on the reasons behind the Catholic Church’s teaching against contraception.
In this video, I explain the natural law reasoning behind the teaching. What is the natural law? (what rational beings must do to perfect their natures.) How easy is it to understand? (Yes!) Why does the Church rely on it if it’s not something revealed by God in the Bible?
How Can Birth Control Be Wrong? Part III
In Part 3, I give you five facts that explode the myth that the world is suffering a population explosion (in reality it’s a population implosion), and two analogies to help understand the moral difference between natural family planning (NFP) and contraception. All the content is drawn from my book The Contraception Deception: Catholic Teaching On Birth Control.
