Msgr. Charles Pope : Some Basics of Christian Anthropology and How They Speak to Moral Issues of our Day (Part 2) (Video)

By Msgr. Charles Pope - At its root, anthropology considers what human beings are and how they have interacted with one another and the world around them over time. While many think of anthropology as a secular study of cultures from ancient to modern day, I propose that there is also a Christian anthropology, one that considers who and what the human person is based on God’s revelation in His word and through our bodies.

Fr. Edward Looney: How the Virgin Mary Converts Sinners

By Fr. Edward Looney, Catholic Exchange - I have visited at least nine places of Marian apparition. I’ve read the messages and studied the apparition’s significance. Of those, one of my favorite Marian apparitions is not as well known as Fatima or Lourdes... It was a series of apparitions in Beauraing, Belgium, received by five children from the Voisin and Degeimbre families. The 33 apparitions began on November 29, 1932 and concluded on January 3, 1933. Mary appeared above a railroad bridge, and later underneath a Hawthorne tree.

By Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D., The Stream - The love of mothers and fathers teaches children to have regard for others, to care for themselves and to control themselves...

We will have a collection of individuals, all looking out for themselves, doing whatever they can get away with… The family is really indispensable to the project of sustaining a free society.

By Diane Montagna, LifeSiteNews - The Vatican has released a new symbol of “interreligious encounter between Christians and Muslims” in advance of Pope Francis’s upcoming visit to Morocco: a logo featuring the crescent encompassing the cross... But some regard the development as reminiscent of C.S. Lewis’s final Narnia book ‘The Last Battle,’ where the true religion is synthesized with the worship of the militant warrior culture of Calormene to the south of Narnia.
