Catholic Church

By Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, Catholic Culture - We all have routines, necessary but dull. We brush our teeth in the mornings, wash, feed the kids, and drive to work according to schedule...

By Carl Trueman, First Things - Opponents of blasphemy then and of blasphemy now share something in common: a concern to protect that which is sacred.
