More than a billion Christians today rightly reject the claims of the papacy, not because various popes have nothing to teach us, but because such claims do not align with sacred Scripture or the beliefs of the early Church.

If I asked you to think about some passages that help us better understand the Holy Spirit, it wouldn't be surprising if chapters like John 14-16 came to mind or Galatians 5.

That means the most important question regarding abortion is not "When should it be legal?" or "Who has a say on this matter?", but "When does an individual, human life begin?"

We find ourselves today on the brink of arguably the most contentious and divisive presidential elections our country has ever seen. There’s no question that our faith must affect our voting, so how is the Christian to sort through the dynamics and ethics of voting?
