Help Push the Film About the Life of Takashi Nagai Across the Finish Line

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:20 pm By Frank Weathers

Since the end of August, in the year of Our Lord 2011, I’ve been bringing word of, and requesting alms for, the making of the film about the life of Takashi Nagai.

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:20 pm By Frank Weathers

Have you heard it? I can’t hear you…there you are! Have you had any desire to be apostles of Jesus? Youth must spend itself for high ideals. Do you think so? Do you agree? Ask Jesus what he wants from you and be brave! Be brave, ask... Read more

The Boston Bombers’ Turning to Religion Caused Them to Murder and Maim Innocents? UPDATED

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 10:39 pm By Frank Weathers

That seems to be the thesis over at the Wall Street Journal. Once known as a quiet teenager who aspired to be a boxer, Tamerlan Tsarnaev delved deeply into religion in recent years at the urging of his mother, who feared he was slipping into a life of marijuana, girls and alcohol. Tamerlan quit drinking and smoking, gave up boxing because he thought it was in opposition to his religion, and began pushing the rest of his family to pursue... Read more

Eden Foods and the Impossibility of Compartmentalizing the Catholic Faith

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:20 pm By Frank Weathers

It was G.K. Chesterton who noted that “The Catholic Church is the only thing which saves a man from the degrading slavery of being a child of his age.” I would argue that the main reason why this is true is because Catholicism isn’t a faith that can be compartmentalized.
