Book Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio to speak at your Event!
Protestants and Catholics Unite!

The Mystery of the Trinity
Jehovah Witnesses attack it and The Da Vinci Code sought to undermine the Doctrine of the Trinity. But what exactly does The Trinity mean? Do we call it a “mystery” just to hide the fact, as some allege, that it makes no sense? Check out Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio’s article, The Mystery of the Trinity to find out how present-day critics the of the Trinity are just recycling old, worn-out heresies and get some new insights into this truly majestic doctrine.
This article is also available in Spanish, visit here!
Don't just take Marcellino's word on it, read what St. Athanasius said about the Trinity in the 4th century – he suffered exile 6 times rather than compromise on it. The Holy Trinity: Three Persons, One Creative, Energizing Reality.

Freedom - Matthew Pinto In Freedom, you will meet 12 people who, through the Theology of the Body have encountered Jesus Christ in the flesh, who offered the truth that set them free. Through their new-found freedom, these people have come to rediscover the meaning of their very existence. Many have had dramatic, life-altering experiences; others had buried truths, innate in all of us, awaken within them. All of them have discovered for themselves that the Theology of the Body answers the two most fundamental questions: 1) What does it mean to be human? 2) How do I live my life in a way that brings true happiness and fulfillment?

There are many wonderful Catholic websites out there.
