Pope St. John Paul II reminds us that the Catholic Church breathes with both lungs East and West. There are actually 21 different ancient and venerable ways to be Catholic.

The SSPX versus the Pope. Novus Ordo versus Traditional Latin Mass. The Western Lung of the Church has gone bi-polar on itself and maybe the Eastern Lung of the Church can help.

"Orientale Lumen" - translated, "Light of the East" the title of St. John Paul II's document on the Eastern Catholic Churches. It is the title of a radio program, AND a series of ecumenical conferences now in their 30th

We revisit a fundamental question that is often asked and often not well understood. What exactly is meant by the different Rites of the Catholic Church? How and why are they different?

The raging of the sea, the raging of nations, fire in the sky just some of the warnings of the End Times. Are the End Times really near? The answer is both yes and we don’t know.

The lazy, hazy days of summer are upon us again and with that often comes a war in the household on appropriate dress the Church for our young ladies. The liturgy of the Eastern Catholic Churches can be a help source for

Synod on Synodality controversy. Controversy over the Traditional Latin Mass versus Novus Ordo in the western lung of the Church. How do Eastern Catholics fit into this?

We are coming up on 40 days after the bodily Resurrection of Jesus Christ where we will see Christ’s Ascension into heaven and the ascension Saints Cyril and Methodius as co-patrons of Europe.

Pope St. John Paul II said that every encounter in the Bible between God and womanhood was an encounter of the newness of life. It was so at the Annunciation, the empty tomb and now at Jacob's well.

We are half-way between the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the sending down of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles. It is a week filled with miracles, martyrs and Apostles.

Why does a good and loving God allow so much evil to happen, especially to good people? The answer comes from an unlikely person on week after the Resurrection of Our Lord."

As we have died with Christ, we now rise with Him in his bodily resurrection making all things new not just 2,000 years ago, but even at this very moment and forever.

Behold the Bridegroom comes in this middle of the night. Blessed is the servant He shall find awake. It is time to light our lamps and keep vigil during this Great and Holy Week.
