What do Catholics believe about Purgatory?

                          What do Catholics believe about Purgatory?  There’s been a lot of misunderstanding about Purgatory in recent years. I’m a convert and I didn’t learn anything about Purgatory.  My catechism wasn’t very structured and it wasn’t until much later that I started to... Read more »

What Do You Buy a Catholic for Christmas?

What do you buy a Catholic for Christmas?   And if you, as the gift-giver, are not Catholic, where do you even begin? Probably the most amazing gift I ever received, was an elegant Waterford Crystal rosary that my BFF (of more than forty years) gave me a few years ago.  She is not Catholic... Read more »

If You Wish to be Perfect

If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.  Then come, follow me. – Matthew 19:21 Well, I don’t want to be THAT perfect, and our Lord was not talking about following Him on Twitter, either.  *Sigh* But seriously, I know...

Purgatory on Earth

Thumbnail image for 'Purgatory on Earth'
The best explanation for Purgatory I ever heard was from Mother Angelica.  She said that we should think of Purgatory as taking a shower before we finally meet God because we want to be perfectly clean before that meeting. Watching this video showed me what a big baby I am.  I want to be comfortable,... Read more »

I found a shorter version of this, but decided this longer one was worth publishing.

Extra! Extra! Nuns Being Scolded and Reprimanded by Bishops!

Nuns in the news?  Stories of nuns being scolded and reprimanded?  Shouldn’t the nuns be doing the scolding and reprimanding? When I was a kid, I wasn’t Catholic so I had very little contact with women religious (or any religious for that matter).  When I became Catholic the nuns that I knew were different from...

Mother Angelica Live Classics - The Annunciation

No one speaks for the Catholic Church quite like Mother Angelica!  She started EWTN with $600 and a determination that God wanted her to build a Catholic broadcasting station. Illness has silenced her, but her legacy will live on and these “classics” will be teaching Catholics for generations to come!

You Would Never Know that March is Women's History Month

With all the name calling lately, no one has mentioned that’s it’s Women’s History Month. “It’s different when Bill Maher calls Sarah Palin a “twat” or the c-word” or when Keith Olbermann calls Michelle Malkin “a mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it.” Michelle Malkin has also been called a “coconut” (brown on the...

"Why Does This Generation Seek a Sign?"

“Why does this generation seek a sign?” – Jesus (Mark 8:11) Reading today’s Gospel is prophetic considering what’s going on today.  What will it take for us to stop and take a moment to wake up and realize that Catholics have to stand up for our church? I read a recent quote from Mike Huckabee, “We... Read more »

Mother Angelica is a spellbinding speaker of the faith!  Pay close attention when the video reaches the 17:00 mark.  She’ll leave your jaw dropping!  She’s funny and insightful and still relevant today. Put down your newspaper, fill your coffee cup one more time and listen.
