Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 3:53 pm By Kathy Schiffer

Last Wednesday, a first for Walmart: At their new Walmart Neighborhood Market in the Sherman Heights neighborhood of San Diego, a Catholic priest blessed a mosaic plaque of the Virgin Mary that’s embedded in the exterior wall. Father Richard Brown, senior priest at Our Lady of Guadalupe parish in San Diego, said, “It’s the only Walmart in the world with a plaque of our Blessed Mother.” Walmart was immersed in controversy in 2012, when they announced plans to open a...

Pope Paul VI, author of the 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life), will likely be beatified in the next few months, according to a report by Italian journalist Andrea Tornielli.

PARENTHOOD: Stains, Spills, Sleeplessness…and Love

Last updated on: February 1, 2015 at 8:55 pm By Kathy Schiffer

If you’re a parent, you know that the early years of childrearing are a mix of joy and sheer exhaustion. A new commercial by Argentine creative ideas agency Santo Buenos Aires captures the fatigue and the frustration, the bedlam and the bemusement, and the pure love that makes it all worthwhile. The commercial by director Pucho Mentasti is for Coke Life, a new, green-label Argentine concoction that’s sweetened with a sugar and stevia extract for a 35-calorie serving. Sebastian Wilhelm,...

Your Help Needed: More Books for Reluctant Readers

Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 3:53 pm By Kathy Schiffer

I love books. Big fat books, old worn books, illustrated children’s books, coffee table books. I like the smell of old paper and the feel of soft leather and the sprawling, tumbling cacophony of words and ideas highlighted on earmarked pages. But I’ve noticed that not everyone shares my penchant for paperbacks. In fact, there are a whole lot of people out there who chuck reading completely—preferring to click the remote or rock it to an iTunes video. So how... Read more

Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 3:53 pm By Kathy Schiffer

After I posted an article today about Our Lady of Guadalupe socks, a reader sent me this link—to a company which sells Tin Haul “Between Two Thieves” Cowboy Boots. Check them out: The boots feature cross cutouts on the brown vamp, a crown of thorns on the shaft and—wait for it!—John 3:16 on the sole. All this, and they can be yours for only $399.95.

First Century Rabbi: A Jewish Scholar Teaches About Jesus

Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 3:53 pm By Kathy Schiffer

“God makes himself felt in the heart of each person. He also respects the culture of all people…. God is open to all people. He calls everyone. He moves everyone to seek Him and to discover Him through creation.” –Jorge Mario Bergoglio (now Pope Francis) in On Heaven and Earth As a Catholic, I found it unsettling to review a book by such an esteemed scholar as Rabbi David Zaslow. Might we, I worried, stand unflinching on opposite sides... Read more

December 12 is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. And so I ask you, the reader: Should I celebrate by wearing these socks? Or these? Actually, I don’t own either of these combination foot protectors/devotionals, but I would love to tuck these uniquely Catholic socks into my winter boots! On a more serious note, you probably know the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and how her image was miraculously imprinted on Juan Diego’s tilma (cloak). You may know... Read more
