Have You Talked With God Lately

                                          TALKING WITH GOD
I listen to people where I work and they don't seem to be very religious. They do generally make comments because I am Catholic. Although I have never really heard any of them say anything bad or negative against the Catholic Church. Yes you do get the occasional not understanding exactly what the Catholic Church teaches. I think it is the typical seeing with your eyes and making a judgement.I usually let the rude comments go in one ear and out the other. Then I say a prayer for them and keep going on my journey. I feel it is best to do what Jesus would have done. If someone does not want to listen just be on your way and never pressure someone, it will only drive someone away further.

Why Do So Many People Believe That Pope Francis Is The AntiChrist

Signorelli-Antichrist and the devil
Antichrist with the devil, from the Deeds of the Antichrist Circa 1501
  Who is the Antichrist ? Well some people are saying that the current pope is the antichrist. Other people are saying that our current President is the antichrist. There are even others pointing at other religions or other people. As for myself I don't know who is the antichrist. Could it be either of the two mentioned above, well all we can do is keep an eye on all current events and keep praying. Take a look at this article from catholic answers http://www.catholic.com/blog/tim-staples/is-pope-francis-the-final-roman-pontiff . If you are looking for information about the antichrist there are many good websites on the internet, but be aware there are just as many bad websites out there spreading many false truths about the Catholic Church. If you are going to comment on the Catholic Church my advise is to read books written by Catholics so you get the correct understanding.

All Catholics Young And Old Should Be Trained In Apologetics

 

  When I first heard the term Catholic Apologetics I had no idea what it was or meant. I thought at first it meant that we as Catholics were apologizing for some reason. I later learned as I watched EWTN that basically this was an explanation of various topics in the Catholic Religion. When I was in the assembly of God church at one point in time people would make the typical comments about the Catholic faith and most of the time I did not really know how to respond to them. There were times when quite honestly I felt rather embarrassed.   As I watched various shows on EWTN I learned more about Catholic Apologetics. By the way for anyone who does not know what EWTN stands for it is the Eternal Word Television Network or as most call it the Catholic Channel on cable television.
