I did not want to be Catholic

I didn’t want to be Catholic. After converting from atheism into Christianity, I wanted to be ABC, anything but Catholic. I didn’t have a whole lot of reasoning. I knew I did not want to be Protestant or “non-denominational,” instead seeking something more traditional and reverent. I grew up around many Protestants and I was not a fan of them. The impression I had was that they go to Church on Sundays to … Read the rest

Interview with an Exorcist: do demons point us to God?

In a world fascinated with the dark side of the spiritual realm, people are more open to listening to demons than God and Jesus Christ. I was blessed to meet with our local Idaho exorcist, Father Brady. Through his years of work as an exorcist in the Catholic Church, he told me that if he were to write a book, it would be titled “Evangelized by Demons.” While Father was … Read the rest

My path to Christianity, Spiritually

On the surface, religion generally seems very superficial. People outside of religion tend to view it universally as culturally inspired explanations of the Creator and our world. I have learned, that is entirely untrue. There is a deep spiritual aspect in all religions, something that I have been able to understand through the full Revelation of God found through Jesus Christ. I have been blessed to personally experience the spiritual side of Christianity. I have … Read the rest

My Journey to Christianity, Theology

Why did I choose Christianity out of all the world religions? The answer is very complex.

To start, there is the obvious fact that Christianity is the most popular religion in the world, particularly in the United States. It was natural to … Read the rest

If there is one thing you should do during this mortal life, it is to be able answer that question with a resolve so firm that you would be willing to die rather than renounce it.

My Journey to the Truth

Most of my life was spent as an atheist from 12 years old up until I was 28 years. In my childhood, my mom infrequently took us to various non-Catholic Christian Churches. I remember my dad joined us in some cases, but as I grew older, he stayed home. When my father stopped attending, I naturally wanted to stay home as well. I was forced to go to Church and no one ever discussed why … Read the rest

Book Review: Living Buddha, Living Christ

A friend of mine claimed there are parallels between Jesus Christ and Buddha. He referred to the  1995 book Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Nhat Hanh as the foundations for the statement. Taking into consideration my knowledge of Christ, my limited understanding of Buddha as well as my conversation with my friend, I don’t doubt there are certain similarities between Christ and Buddha, but I do doubt the prominence and significance of these … Read the rest

The Gnostic Gospels

In order to understand the gnostic gospels, we must understand what Gnosticism is. As a preface, most of the resources are Catholic due to the Catholic Church having a catalog of history on Gnosticism during the first few centuries. Gnosticism, a word from the Greek word gnosis, meaning knowledge, began possibly before the time of Christ. Gnostics viewed themselves as “those who know.” Early Gnostics believed all matter is inherently evil and due to this, they believe … Read the rest
