Being Catholic in Zanzibar
Mathew Limo* knows what to expect when he goes to church with his family. On the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar, where 98 percent of the population is Muslim, Christians are given the cold shoulder. The past year has been characterized by renewed violence against Christians. So far the violence remains aimed at religious, but the […]

St. Francis of Assisi
The Shalom vocation is a vocation with single traits influenced by the Franciscan Spirituality.

Why We Should Stop Making Arguments for Traditional Marriage
Another judge, this one in Arkansas, has struck down a state law banning same-sex marriage on the ground that the ban has no “rational” basis.

TRUCK DYNASTY: The First Deacon in the World of Monster Trucks
Crowds of people fill the stands, many sporting sunglasses and baseball caps and t-shirts with patriotic slogans. The sun beats down, the beer flows, and the cheers go up when the next “extreme diesel” pickup truck, souped-up so much that you’d probably need a ladder to get into the cab, enters the dirt field. If […]
