(This is the first in a series of bi-weekly articles where catechist Pat Gohn will walk beginners through a study of the Catechism.)

Hanging With the Dead
by Mountain Butorac in Faith on Thursday, July 02, 2009 6:00 AM
One of the more fascinating and, dare I say, haunting encounters one has while traveling is visiting the relics and incorruptible bodies found in churches throughout the world.
Some are hard to find, such as the incorruptible body of St. Antoninus of Florence. He’s in the far back corner of the Church of San Marco, which is not found in many guidebooks. Others are prominently displayed, like St. John Vianney. With his head tilted slightly as if waiting to hear a confession, he’s above the main... READ MORE

Sunday Rest is Sunday Best
by Joseph Pronechen in Faith on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 6:00 AM
After Mass, what’s next on the itinerary most Sundays? If your family is like most in America, your day will likely end up in a whirlwind of activity.
From rushing the kids to their games to shopping for the week’s meals to chasing bargains at the mall, there is no shortage of temptations to think of Sunday just like any other day, minus the 9-to-5 routine.
The typical scenario is something of a national shame, because God created a day of rest — with its untold spiritual and social benefits — for,... READ MORE
