Why Catholic?

A lot of Christians and Catholics may wonder “Why hasn’t the whole world converted yet? We have such a great faith? What’s behind this? Do we have any control over it?” Some typical answers to this question would be “There are too many bad things going on in the world” or “There’s not enough proof” or “There are too many other religions”. But I am here to tell you that I believe it has absolutely NOTHING to do with any of these objections. CHRISTIANS are the reason that the whole world isn’t converted. It is our fault. Sounds ironic eh? Think about it though. How are Christians nowadays living their lives? Are they trying to live according to the Gospel? Most importantly, do you see a difference in the way Christians live then people who aren’t Christians? If you don’t, then there’s your problem. People are converted to Christianity when they meet a person who resonates peace, comfort, sacrifice, love, and joy. Mother Theresa is a perfect example. She met many pagans...

The Catholic Church is always put down about the rule that says “no” to sex before marriage. But no one seems to turn it around and look at what they’re saying yes to. By saying “no” to sex before marriage, one implicitly says “yes” to God’s love and His creation. Most teenagers HATE this about the Catholic Church. How do I know this? Because I used to be one of them. As I dated boys throughout my teen years, I never thought twice about saving my body for my future husband. It seemed like a silly idea and definitely something that nobody my age was doing. So why was I going to hold back? I wanted to “live my life” to the fullest and have no limitations. Which was exactly what I did. The real term us Catholics use for "saving yourself for marriage" is chastity, so that’s what I’ll refer to it as in this blog. Chastity has many different meanings that we can get into, but I want to focus on the physical and sexual aspects of it. Other parts of chastity include how we ...

In the Gospel of Matthew 25:40-45, Jesus says “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” What exactly did he mean by this? Well, to put it simply, he wants us to see every person we encounter as another Jesus. It’s easier to think as if every person on planet earth were Jesus in disguise. If you are a Christian and you met Jesus, think about how you would speak to him, treat him, listen to him, and respect him. I’m sure everybody’s answers would be a little different, but most Christians would have an extremely positive reaction to encountering our Lord and Savior. What you do or don’t do to people, you do or don’t do to Jesus Christ. You might read this interpretation and laugh. I get it. There are some pretty difficult people that we have to encounter in our lives each and every day. But think about how the world would change, if only we treated everyone as if we would treat Jesus. For exa...
