St. Peter

Catholics can accept the view that Christ founded the Church on the faith of Peter. However, we reject the notion that that is all Christ intended.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton: Passion for God, Compassion for the Poor and a Zeal for Souls

January 4, 2024 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Anti-Catholic sentiment remained quite virulent in America at the time; therefore Elizabeth knew the decision to become Catholic was sure to cause alienation from friends and family—a very serious consequence, since as a widow with children she was in dire need of financial support.

The Unceasing Call of Truth

October 5, 2023 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

The human person is called to truth

The call of Truth is unceasing and unquenchable. It cannot be permanently silenced but only suppressed briefly. Nevertheless, it is often feared. Stepping into the light of truth always requires change.

The Catholic Proposal: Jesus Christ is Lord

April 28, 2023 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Ascension of the Lord

The Catholic proposal articulates God’s plan for man to share in his own blessed life. This plan is made possible by Jesus Christ and entrance into the Church through the sacrament of Baptism. Through repentance, faith in Christ, and Baptism, men become the adopted children of God, and thus heirs to the kingdom of God.

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
