Catholic Church

Thus, in this great and cosmic battle, the Lord cannot and will not tolerate a false peace based on compromise or an accepting coexistence. He has come to wield a sword, to divide. Many moderns do not like it, but Scripture is clear: there are wheat and tares, sheep and goats, those on the Lord’s right and those on His left, the just and wicked, the lowly and the proud, the narrow road to salvation and the wide road to damnation.

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews - In Ocala, Florida.. The Marion County Sheriff's Office said a man had “intentionally crashed a vehicle through the front doors of the church, exited the vehicle and poured gasoline out into the foyer area and then lit it on fire,” before fleeing in the car... “The parishioners were able to escape without injury and Marion County Fire Rescue personnel were able to quickly extinguish the fire.”

By Marcellino D'Ambrosio, Ph.D., Catholic Exchange - In speaking to us as seed, Jesus is saying, “Be careful. If you don’t make the effort to get thoroughly rooted in your Catholic faith, you just might not make it. If do you manage to survive, you might produce absolutely nothing. But you are called to bear much fruit (Jn 15), to yield a hundredfold, to be a saint, to leave a mark on the lives of many that will last forever. Don’t settle for anything less!”
