Catholic Church

By John Horvat II, LifeSiteNews - Christendom! It may seem shocking since its days seem long past. We are supposed to be in a post-Christian era. However, the urgency of our times call for it. We need a Christian civilization if we are going to overcome the present crisis. It needs to be at least considered… Because our problems are moral, our solutions must also be moral. The rich treasury of Western thought and traditional Church teaching prove that the natural law and Christian morality are the norms that are best suited to our human and social nature. We find our greatest happiness inside institutions and social structures that take us to the end for which we are created—God.

By Fr. George Rutler, Church Militant - It is harder to make silence than noise. Because of modern cacophony, especially in what passes for music in the form of amplified "rock" sounds, young people are growing increasingly deaf. In urban areas, silence is so uncommon that one becomes suspicious of silence, rather like the dog that did not bark in Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of Silver Blaze" detective story… Satan and his evil spirits are noisy. Jesus told an evil spirit to be silent (Mark 1:25)… Our Lord always was precise. So should we be, in order to hear God. "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10).
