Water Baptism
Learn the correct understanding of the term "born again" so that
next time your Evangelical friend asks if you've been "born again",
you can pull out your baptismal certificate to prove it.

Answering Scandal
with Personal Holiness
The headlines were captured recently by the news that perhaps up to seventy
priests in the Archdiocese of Boston have abused young people whom they were
consecrated to serve. Fr. Landry tackles the issue head on. You
have a right to it. We can't pretend it didn't happen. So he'd
like to discuss what our response should be as faithful Catholics to this
terrible scandal.

Pledge Ruling Unlikely to
Stand
A federal appeals court panel's ruling that it is unconstitutional for
schoolchildren to recite the Pledge of Allegiance continued to draw outrage
from across the political spectrum but many legal experts say that the
decision is unlikely to withstand review of the full appeals court or the U.S.
Supreme Court.

The Canon of the Bible
This is an important and difficult accusation for Catholics to contend
with: important, because we need to be certain that it is to the word of God
and not the word of man that the Church refers to when determining vital
questions concerning faith and morals; difficult, because the Bible itself
does not tell or help us to determine which books should belong to it.

Assurance of Salvation?
What To Say: "Are you saved?" asks the Fundamentalist. The
Catholic should reply: "As the Bible says, I am already saved (Rom. 8:24, Eph.
2:5–8), but I’m also being saved (1 Cor. 1:8, 2 Cor. 2:15, Phil. 2:12),
and I have the hope that I will be saved (Rom. 5:9–10, 1 Cor. 3:12–15).
Like the apostle Paul I am working out my salvation in fear and trembling
(Phil. 2:12), with hopeful confidence in the promises of Christ (Rom. 5:2, 2
Tim. 2:11–13)."

Pure Love
If genuine love has escaped you thus far, if regrets and confusion have
made you wonder if the love you've dreamed of really exists, if you think
you've already found that perfect someone, or if you don't even know where to
begin when it comes to dating, the following pages have been written for you.
Most people settle down some time after college, get married, and begin
raising a family. That may be ten years down the road, or you may not even be
called to marriage. So let's be realistic, and discuss what you should (and
shouldn't) do in the mean time.

Are Catholics Born Again?
Catholics and Protestants agree
that to be saved, you have to be born again. Jesus said so: "Truly, truly, I
say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John
3:3).
When a Catholic says that he has been "born again," he refers to the
transformation that God’s grace accomplished in him during baptism.
Evangelical Protestants typically mean something quite different when they
talk about being "born again."
For an Evangelical, becoming "born again" often happens like this: He goes to
a crusade or a revival where a minister delivers a sermon telling him of his
need to be "born again."
