Hating on the Rosary makes the people who do it look foolish and ignorant. Even more ridiculous, they claim the Bible as their justification for speaking out against the Rosary. I think my readers are better than that and if they do not already know the awesomeness of the Rosary they are at least open to knowing what it is and why they should not hate on it. For those who don’t know: The Rosary is a structured meditation on the GOSPELS. The 20 meditations taken from Scripture. The pattern of prayers, the contents of which are also Gospel based, … Continue reading

I was sent this article: Abortifacients–pharmakeia and sorcery by a friend and decided to share it with my readers. The footnotes about the Biblical take on birth control were great. I like this quote from the footnotes of the article: “Pharmakeia denotes the mixing of potions for secretive purposes, and from Soranos and others, evidence exists of artificial birth control potions.

The Bible is why I am Catholic. There is a lot to be said about a Church whose theology uses ALL of the Bible. Even the most obscure teaching from Tradition is founded on Scripture. Something to consider about the Bible is that the Bible tells us that if everything Christ taught were written down the world could not contain the books. Yet the Bible also teaches that the Holy Spirit was promised to the disciples so that they would have everything Christ taught to them brought to their minds so they could teach others. In the book of Timothy … Continue reading
