Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 3:55 pm By Kathy Schiffer

On Monday, October 21, Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland announced that he would be stepping down as manager after the team was eliminated from the playoffs by the Boston Red Sox.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” –Timothy 4:7 As the sun rose over the Eternal City last Sunday, the cobblestone streets of Rome were transformed into a racetrack for a unique event: the Race of Faith.

How Sorry Is Sorry Enough? In Some Hearts, the Church Will Never Find Forgiveness (UPDATED)

Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 3:55 pm By Kathy Schiffer

On October 18, the Archbishop of Manila made a public apology for the sins of the Church. And once again, the perennial non-forgivers used the occasion of his apology as an opportunity to spew hatred against the Catholic Church. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, speaking to about 5,000 attendees of the Philippine Conference on the New Evangelization, expressed contrition for the sins, the hurts that the Church has inflicted on non-Catholics and non-Christians. According to a report in the Catholic Herald,... Read more

Hate to Wait? A Humorous Look at Why Your Computer Gets Hung Up

Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 3:55 pm By Kathy Schiffer

It’s amazing to remember that only a few years ago, you were typing on an IBM Selectric, making four carbon copies, and using a lead pencil with an eraser. Times have changed, though; and in today’s impatient, “instant access” culture, it’s s-o-o-o frustrating to have to wait for a video to download.

Saints, Sung and Unsung: Unique Exhibit Opens in Windsor

Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 3:55 pm By Kathy Schiffer

What does a saint look like? We have our preconceptions: Saints are serene, eyes cast downward, hands folded in prayer. Saints flash joyful smiles while reaching out to help the poor and needy. Saints stand bravely against the enemies of the Gospel, praying as the bullets or the machete or the poison claims their bodies, releasing their spirits to enter into perfect union with God. But a new exhibit by Canadian artist Owen Swain tells a different story. Swain’s Saints,... Read more
