The Martyrs of Korea

Today we remember those who brought Christianity to Korea

Today, on September 20, we celebrate the Memorial of Saint Andrew Kim Taegon, priest and martyr, and Saint Paul Chong Hasang, martyr, and their companions, the martyrs of Korea. 

I will admit to not having known many of the details of the lives of these saintly men and women who brought the faith to and founded the Church in Korea.  They are noted for their faith-filled bravery in being willing to... READ MORE 


A Mother to Many

A look at a special life

I came across this wonderful video today and thought you might enjoy watching it as well.  It is a succinct look at the life of Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta and offers wonderful reminders about how the life on one person can have an impact upon so many.  Enjoy!


We Can All Just Get Along

finding who your friends are

Investigative journalist and Conservative commentator Robert Novak has been a fixture on the Washington scene for more than 40 years. During his long career he’s broken many stories—getting people to “spill” to him with his fabled creed, “You’re either a source or a target.”

This summer Mr. Novak was diagnosed with brain cancer. He writes about how his Catholic faith is helping him and about the outpouring of help and support he’s found—even from his ideological “enemies” in this lovely column, My Brain Tumor.

Hope Can Save You

I have not yet seen this movie, but the trailer intrigued me. And then reading this positive Catholic review clinched the deal. I must see this movie.

God Is Stronger Than Cancer

Faith and Fervor Helped One Mother Overcome Fear

By Margaret Berns


When Tina Robbins was diagnosed with co­ lon cancer in the spring of 2006, she didn’t feel afraid or angry. She felt ready to suffer well.

She did not know at that point how very hard it all would be.

The 41-year-old wife and mother of five from Bloomington, Minn., admits, “I thought, ‘Oh, God’s giving me this opportunity to suffer to save souls.’ Well, I was all on board. I’m... READ MORE 


Catholic Coffeehouse Dwellers

Catholic culture thrives among the young at college coffee houses

St. Killian’s, Christendom

Kaylie Miller


When she was 15 years old, Kaylie Miller made a promise to herself: She would not attend a Catholic college. But her resolve faded when she visited the campus of Christendom College in Front Royal, Va.

“I fell in love with the place,” recalls Kaylie, now 24. “I had a meeting with Dr. [Timothy] O’Donnell, president of the college, and he half-jokingly... READ MORE

Freedom From the Old Ball & Chain

The equal dignity of each human person is the internal logic of heterosexual, monogamous marriage.

By Rebecca Ryskind Teti

Most of us practice the traditional American virtue of minding our own business. But in the defense of marriage against those who want to redefine it — whether they be polygamists in Texas or homosexual activists in California — we should make an exception.

After all, one-man, one-woman mo­ nogamous marriage is more than an anomaly of religion. It is the foundation of the political... READ MORE
