Angels & Dragons II

Published September 2, 2015 • Written by Deacon Guadalupe Rodriguez Filed Under: Column

What is a Dragon? The Hebrew word “tanniyn” is used to depict a mysterious and vile creature similar to a giant reptile.   “Tanniyn” is found 28 times in the Old Testament, with English translations sometimes referring to it as dragon, sea-monster, serpent, whale, or jackal.  In the New Testament the Book of Revelation uses the… [Read More]

Angels & Dragons

Published February 12, 2015 • Written by Deacon Guadalupe Rodriguez Filed Under: Column, Faith

“Proclaim a War! Let the weak man say, ‘I am a warrior!’” (Joel 4:9-10) In these dark times we must contemplate and understand the spiritual battle we are facing.

Pray on Sunday, Cuss on Monday?

Published August 18, 2014 • Written by Cristóbal Almanza Filed Under: Faith, Young Adult, Youth

Shut the front door because we need to get real about our speech. This isn’t a flippant or unnecessary discussion about language. We are living in a time of dangerous persecution and wars, so it seems like this topic may not be as important, but our words are always needed and used, so it remains… [Read More]

Choosing Sides (Review: “The Great Divorce”)

Published February 4, 2014 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Reviews

This may be the hardest review I’ve ever had to write for Austin CNM. It’s not my last (unless the Lord knows something I don’t), and it’s not because I don’t know how to express myself here. It’s because I’m not quite sure how I can impress upon you the importance of this book and… [Read More]

Must Hell Really Be Eternal?

Published August 23, 2013 • Written by Matt Sullivan Filed Under: Faith

She opened Her hands once more, as She had done the two previous months.  The rays [of light] appeared to penetrate the earth, and we saw, as it were, a vast sea of fire. Plunged in this fire, we saw the demons and the souls [of the damned].  The latter were like transparent burning embers,… [Read More]

Growth in Sober Consideration

Published May 14, 2013 • Written by Matt Sullivan Filed Under: Faith

“As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways above your ways and my thoughts are above your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:9) There often seems to be a subliminal attitude, which originates in Protestant circles but pervades many Catholic parishes.  Because Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection have already brought us full assurance… [Read More]

The Gradual Road to Hell (Review: “The Screwtape Letters”)

Published August 7, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Reviews

I have finally found some paranormal romance that I like! Well, that’s not entirely true. This week’s book is about the paranormal and does contain romance, though. I will concede only one thing to Twilight and its successors in the paranormal romance genre, and I will admit to two: they’re getting girls to read, and… [Read More]
