By Jules Gomes, The Stream - As Protestants and Catholics alike celebrate the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul, we ponder the way in which Jesus always turns His fiercest foes into His friendliest allies and then commissions them to suffer for Him... Caravaggio, who was literally a murderer, is the bad boy of art. Paul, another murderer, is the bad boy of the Church. In the book of Acts, Luke portrays him as “breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord” (Acts 9:1) and tells us that Saul is the rabble-rouser instigating the lynch mob that has stoned Stephen to death.

By Complicit Clergy by Staff - For the past four years, many Catholics have been perplexed as to why most Catholic bishops have refused to condemn Joe Biden’s heinous anti-Catholic policies. Additionally, these bishops have openly welcomed Biden to receive Holy Communion, in spite of Canon 915 stating Catholics who “obstinately persist in manifest grave sin, are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”  It will be of little surprise if Biden goes-down in history as America’s most radical anti-Catholic president... For those who continue to be astonished by our shepherds’ silence, we may have discovered the answer.

By M.C. Holbrook, Catholic Exchange - St. Paul’s sinner-to-saint experience is arguably the most unique and powerful conversion story of all time. Paul indeed went from “foremost sinner” to “Apostle to the Gentiles” in a single “flash,” but the reality is, it did not happen instantaneously. Something prepared Paul for that moment of grace when he would accept Jesus as his Lord, decisively and forevermore. So what was it that prepared Paul? Actually, it was not so much a “what,” but rather, a “who.”
