In Defense of Gentlemanly Things
September 22, 2014
The following is a guest post by Jason Craig, Executive Director of Fraternus. Vanity turns us in on ourselves, like all sin.

Keep Dating Your Wife: 25 Ways to Show Your Wife You Love Her
September 17, 2014
In college, I got to know an elderly couple who took a real liking to me, and they would often have me over to their house and take me out to dinner.

Lift High the Cross
September 15, 2014
The cross is a scandal. The cross is foolishness to the world. Sadly, all too many Catholics today are ashamed of the Holy Cross. Crucifixes are removed from sanctuaries. The mass is no longer described as the sacrifice of Calvary renewed and re-presented. Rather, it is portrayed simply a community meal, a time of fellowship and […]

The following is a guest post by Matthew Christoff of The New Emangelization. In the post-modern “anything goes and nothing means anything” world, men are lost, not knowing what to believe or what to do. Seduced into pursuing their own selfish passions, post-modern men are manipulated like C.S. Lewis predicted they would be: “men without chests”, […]

Don’t Give in to Discouragement: Finding Hope in the Trials of Life
September 4, 2014
Note: The following article is from a chapter in Dom van Zeller’s Suffering: The Catholic Answer, available from Sophia Institute Press. It is reprinted with permission.

Trees are the Best Masters: 4 Reasons to Get Outdoors
September 2, 2014
“What I know of the divine sciences and Holy Scriptures, I learned in woods and fields. I have no other masters than the beeches and the oaks.” – Saint Bernard of Clairvaux This past weekend, we went on a family camping trip in the local state forest. While we certainly enjoyed ourselves, I will admit […]
