Purgatory ~ Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell …
Between Heaven and Hell Purgatory. Of all the many misunderstood doctrines of the Catholic Church, Purgatory may be one of the most lampooned by non-Catholics and most misunderstood by Catholics themselves. Last week, my wife and I published our first ever podcast. On the show we discussed C.S. Lewis’ book The Great Divorce and the concepts of Purgatory found within it. In this…

Status
So I just found out today that I will be interviewed tomorrow morning bright and early on The Catholic Channel (Sirius/XM ch.129) show Seize the Day with Gus Lloyd during his Conversion Corner segment. I should be on around 9am Eastern, but I think they have started rebroadcasting the show at a later time here in the West so you may be able to catch it later in the morning as well.
If all goes well, I’ll probably have the audio up on the site within the next couple of weeks. If I completely bomb, you can forget about it!
Keep me in your thoughts and prayers – I’m a little anxious about it 🙂

7 Myths about the Inquisition
A couple of months back I posted an article examining 7 Myths About the Crusades. It seemed to resonate with a lot of folks, so this week I thought I would post a similar article looking at some of the common myths surrounding the Inquisition. — 1 — The term “Inquisition” actually refers to an institution not an event. Actually, more…

Why Ask Why?
I came across the following quote on a friends Facebook page earlier this week. “There is no answer to the question, ‘Why?’ If you need a reason, invent one that empowers you and begin living from there.” I am frankly unsure of whether this is a quote from my friend or from someone else – but it has stuck with me throughout…

Do Catholics Read the Bible Literally?
I’ve frequently encountered a common misapprehension that boils down to the following statement, “Catholics don’t take the bible literally.” On the flip side of the spectrum are the Evangelical Fundamentalists who take everything way too literally. So who’s right? Let’s start by defining our terms. In everyday language the word “literal” typically means,“in accordance with, involving, or being the primary or…
