It is full of data and clear explanations, and the speaker, physicist and priest, Father Andrew Pinsent, is brilliantly engaging. Biography from Father Pinsent’s website: Andrew Pinsent [...]

We ran this lovely guest post from Jessamine last year on All Saints Day. Here it is again. Several years back, I ordered some green scapulars from a Catholic apostolate. Upon reception of the package, not only the green scapulars were in the envelope, but a booklet came with it. I was pretty sure I didn’t order [...]
This article written by Mike Filce was originally published on “The Devout Life,” a blog by Mindy Goorchenko. Reprinted with permission. A Church Divided We are a church divided. And though it is a division that goes unspoken and unseen, it is one that tears at the very heart of our Faith. This is not a division over [...]
Guest post by Anthony Federico, as we prepare for the Feast of Corpus Christi It’s a single sentence from a popular television show that I never got into. The one with the four geniuses and the beautiful blonde. I’m not a TV critic. I have no opinion on whether or not you should watch the [...]
Guest post by Margeaux Graham, the Catholic teen who refused to miss Mass for a rare academic honor Desire, doubt, honor, excitement, shock, and disappointment are the emotions preceding discrimination in the modern world. I have felt all of these towards a very unsuspecting organization, the Florida Girls State program sponsored by the American Legion [...]
Guest post by Rebecca Frech at the award-winning blog, Shoved to Them Chastity and the Teen Girl Some time ago, Jennifer Fitz asked LarryD from Acts of the Apostasy all about chastity and teenage boys: So here’s a two-part question I still need you guys to answer for me: How should a boy deal with [...]
Guest post by LarryD at the award-winning blog, Acts of the Apostasy Some time ago, Jennifer Fitz had to go and get all questioning about chastity and teen boys: So here’s a two-part question I still need you guys to answer for me: How should a boy deal with the, shall we say, overwhelming physical urges, [...]
“The American Legion Auxiliary is the world’s largest women’s patriotic service organization. Through its nearly 10,500 units located in every state and some foreign countries, the Auxiliary embodies the spirit of America that has prevailed through war and peace. Along with The American Legion, it solidly stands behind America and her ideals.” Well? While the nation discusses [...]
How many Catholic Supreme Court Justices are there? Where did the prayer to St. Michael originate? Which important Catholic events happened on October 13th? What is the meaning of the statement “Eli, Eli, lama sabacchthani?” What was the name of the good thief? Who was Longinus? How many states allow assisted suicide? [...]
Guest post from a Perinatal Hospice Nurse About a year ago, a well known Protestant pastor had a question posed to him on a radio show. A young mother called in with a heartbreaking problem – her twins were conjoined and she wanted to know if she could end the pregnancy because even if she [...]
Guest post by Justin Marcel Condreay For some unknown reason, it seems like everyone is jumping on the “GHOST” bandwagon. I can’t turn on the television without seeing a new Ghost-Hunters show. Likewise, I can’t go to the movie theater without seeing a new exorcism flick. There are only two things that scare me. When I [...]
Guest post from Mr. Jose Trasancos Just ask my wife – I tend to communicate with certain efficiency. I don’t waste words. Euthanasia, ‘mercy killing’, should be counted among the first steps down a ghastly and barbaric road. Human history is replete with examples of where the general mindset leads. Before going any further, let [...]
Guest post by Dr. Ty Meyer There are times in our lives when everything turns upside down, when the world seems to be spinning out of control and there is no easy solution to fix it. Facing the prospect of a life-limiting or terminal illness as a patient or family member is one such time. [...]
Guest post by Edward G. O. Radler Rice First, I want to extend my thanks to Stacy Trasancos for giving me the opportunity to present a guest symposium. Ignitum Today is a Godsend. Here we – the frontline in the New Evangelization – have a forum to share our faith and knowledge. Now, I’m simply [...]
Guest post by Dr. Jeff McLeod Outward Appearances and Inward Capacities This is a rare occasion in which I would actually like to introduce a straw man argument. I do so because I can think of no better way to illustrate the point I would like to make than by way of the wickedly clever [...]
Please welcome a very special guest post for our Catholic Education symposium by the famous Sister Patricia Owens O’Flannery, from LarryD’s award-winning blog Acts of the Apostasy. The year was 1972. It was my first year teaching elementary school in the Diocese of Walla Walla, and a most exciting time to be involved in Catholic education. We were [...]
Guest post by Rebecca Frech People often ask me why on earth we chose to homeschool 11 years ago. I’m not even sure that I remember all the reasons any longer, and am not 100% convinced that it didn’t all boil down to my not being quite ready to have my 4 year old be gone [...]
SOCIALIS Saturday: Do you have any inspiring stories to share from times when you have been praying for or at an abortion clinic? It doesn’t have to be from this 40 Days for Life, it can be any story. Perhaps there are some people considering a prayer vigil and they would like to know a [...]
Guest Post by Elizabeth Hoxie Our 5 month old is alternating between chomping on my knuckle, sucking on my husband’s pant leg and screaming at the top of his lungs. “He’s teething,” I whisper apologetically to the demure lady in the pew behind us. I sincerely hope it is true, because otherwise I don’t know [...]
SOCIALIS Saturday: Many of us have small children. All of us were small children, once upon a time. As a parent I find some aspects of Lent difficult to explain to children, which means that in trying to do so, there are ample opportunities for some Lenten laughs as children try to express themselves. So [...]
