As recently as a hundred years ago, the ember days were a familiar part of the Catholic year. These quarterly "mini-Lents" were a way to mark the change in the seasons, to thank God for the gifts of the earth, to fast, and to ordain new priests. Made optional in the 1960s, they have almost completely disappeared from the Catholic experience. In thi…

Throughout the Bible, many mysterious figures appear about whom we know very little. One of these enigmas is the "disciple whom Jesus loved" or the Beloved Disciple who shows up in John's Gospel.

Catholic life is full of prayers and objects, from Rosary beads to saint medals. One of the most popular medals is the St. Benedict medal. Like other saint medals, it has a depiction of the saint on the front. But unlike others, the St. Benedict medal also has an exorcism prayer engraved on it. Is this just superstition, or is it a crucial weapon i…

"Do you not know that all the drivers race the race, but only one wins the Piston Cup?" St. Paul never said that, but he might have if he had seen the Pixar classic Cars. Thanks to the toddler who controls my TV, I've now seen Cars somewhere around a thousand times, and I have some thoughts. On today's episode of Bonus Points, we're talking about t…

When I was preparing for Confirmation in eighth grade, I chose St. Peter as my Confirmation saint.

Since then, he's had a lot to teach me, so I gue…

In this episode of Bonus Points, we'll explore …

In the West, we sometimes think of the monastic life as one "option" among many. It's good for those who are called to it, but doesn't have much to offer the rest of us. In the Eastern Catholic world, however, the monastic life is seen as the ideal to which all Christians aspire. John Paul II called it the "reference point for all the baptized" in …

Every year around Christmas time, we hear claims that Jesus was not actually born on December 25th.
