  • Important Information

    Thank you for doing the talk on spiritual warfare. You are correct many of us might struggle to identify the voice of the enemy. I know I did. He is a GOOD SHEPHERD. Thank you Jesus. Please read Carrie Gress’ book called

    The End of Woman.

    Unwin’s work warns us where we are if we don’t change things soon. We must pray!!!

Breaking News With Fr. McTeigue, S.J - Day Three of 2025 Fall Appeal
Q: How would you help people of faith right now decipher that, feel about that, and how do you feel about that?
It's important to look at the overall work that a senator has done during his service, not just a single issue like abortion.
The Shock of Holiness (Dr. Michael Pakaluk) 9/4/25
Q: Is that an urgent task for us today?
Yes, very much so. This is going to center around living family life well and contemplating human nature in the members of our family.
The Shock of Holiness (Dr. Michael Pakaluk) 9/4/25
Q: How do we explain him without explaining him away?
There's a passion, because he many times expressed the view that he was deeply, deeply, deeply pained by the sins that he heard all day long.
The Shock of Holiness (Dr. Michael Pakaluk) 9/4/25
Q: Doctor, I want to ask you about the title. Why the shock of holiness?
It's meant to convey that there's something hidden and implicit in ordinary life for Christians that when you notice it, it is, you could say, shocking.
Do Catholics Need the Old Testament? (Steve Ray) 8/19/25
Q: Where should a beginner start when reading the Old Testament?
