Open Discussion: Your Thoughts on International, National, Church News, Interests… Whatever!

Editor writes... Among the suggestions for ideas on how to best utilise the blog as we approach its closure in July, nobody suggested this one - an open forum for bloggers to post their thoughts on ... whatever!  Still, that doesn't mean we can't have said open forum, so voila!  If this one proves popular,...

Duty of State Vs Religious Obligations – Clash?

From The Fatima Center... Faithful Discharge of Our Duties of State. If we perform our duties of state with the proper intention, and of course in the state of grace, we can make fitting penance in reparation for sins. Rather than doing them in the spirit of rancour, if we accept our long days, difficulties...

Closure of the Catholic Truth Blog…

Editor writes... First things first; as I promised in the May newsletter, Holy Mass will be offered for all our supporters and benefactors, as we close our apostolate.

One online commentator remarked, perhaps a tad sarcastically on seeing the above video, that "With all respect, it is NO secret at all our Catholic Church is in ruins..."  Editor writes... The narrator in the above (excellent) short film may give the impression of confusing the request of Our Lady for the Consecration of Russia with...
