This article is the ninth in a 10-part series that will explore miracles as proof of the truths of Catholic doctrine. In this installment, we consider the physical manifestation of the Lord’s Real Presence in the Consecrated Host commonly referred to as “Eucharistic Miracles.” As Catholics, we believe in transubstantiation where the bread and wine…
If the life of prayer is a vocation offered to all, then it follows that the practice of prayer must equally be within the reach of all. It is not an esoteric exercise, in other words, for which only the most gifted athletes of the spirit may qualify. There is no human being on the…
Earlier this year, I gave a talk on the doctrine of the Kingship of Christ, going through the work of Pope Pius XI, specifically referring to Quas Primas, wherein he explains what the Social Reign of Christ the King would look like.
