Dr. D'Ambrosio - Holy Land Pilgrimage

 

Peter the Rock - Peter, Satan?

Peter and the Keys to the KingdomJesus had just given him the Keys to the Kingdom, changed his name, declared him the Rock – and now, in this Sunday’s gospel, we hear Jesus call him Satan.  

How does this square with the Catholic Doctrine of Papal Infallibility? Come to The Crossroads Initiative and read, Peter the Rock – Peter, Satan?

Be sure to download and listen to the PodCast available online!

 

 

We have now this article in Spanish!

Keys of Peter - MagisteriumMagisterium:

Who, What, and Why? 

Who precisely determines what “the Church” teaches?  What’s the difference between doctrine, discipline, and dogma?  Is all Church teaching equally authoritative?  If you’ve ever wondered about any of these things, then you’ve just got to read the second article in our series on the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.

Redirected Pas*sion! Mother and Son Saints!

Saint Augustine and His MotherImagine a Catholic bishop, shortly after his election, publishing a book of True Confessions that tells it all—his rebellion against his parents, his involvement in an exotic Eastern cult, and his longstanding mis*tress by whom he had an illegitimate child.  St. Augustine’s Confession did cause a sensation when it was published in the late 4th century, as it would cause a hubbub now.  The Church celebrates the memory of this man whose redirected pas*sion impelled him to become one of the greatest Christian pastors and teachers of all time.  OK, you don’t have time to read all 4 million of the words he wrote, but how about a brief recap of his life, a bit about the Catholic mom who prayed for his conversion for 30 years, and a sizzling page from his Confessions?

Our resources are delivered via audio, video, written, and electronic formats as well as through live seminars.
