In the December 7th airing of The World Over Live, Raymond Arroyo hosted a segment in which one of his guests, Fr. Gerald Murray, suggested that Catholic teaching is now under assault by pope Francis (due to his recent clarification of Amoris Laetitia, which essentially confirms an interpretation presented by the Argentinian bishops). During this segment, Fr. […]

In my conversations with non-Christians and agnostics over the years, the Old Testament has always been one of the greatest points of friction. They would read about constant wars and killing; about how God commanded Israel, the so-called chosen people, to destroy other nations.

When parents send their children to school, it is presumed they are sending them to be educated, not politically indoctrinated into a certain ideology.

And the way this debate has been framed—even from the best news sources—is at risk of shaping into a wall of its own. On the one side, they […]

I would like to preface this article with a note of reverential charity to our shepherds. I realize they are often the subject of much criticism—criticism which is not always the most charitable in nature. And although I may also criticize at times, I will try to also be constructive and respectful to their office, as it […]

Shortly following the release of Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, Raymond Arroyo from EWTN aired a number of segments (see World Over airing on 04/14/2016 and 09/15/2016) in which he and his guests analyzed and responded to the content of the document. After watching these segments, and hearing the concerns of his guests, I decided to […]

“All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” – Blaise Pascal As you may know, just fifty years ago, most houses in America had what was called a “front porch.” A front porch often provided a quiet oasis, where people would sit during the afternoon hours to rest, […]

***UPDATE, 10/14/2016: This article was written prior to the recent tapes of Mr. Trump speaking crude and objectifying words against women. As a result of these revelations, I have decided I will not be as vocal in my defense of Donald Trump as I was previously. Such words can never be condoned, no matter how […]
