Priesthood of Believers - After introducing myself as a Catholic Theologian, it does not take long before curious people ask: “So, why doesn’t the Catholic Church have women and married priests?” Now the fun begins.

George Gallup's poll Religion in America reveals that the diet of spiritual junk food is taking its toll. This reflection on Jesus' Bread of Life discourse in John's Gospel reminds us that you are what you eat. The blessed sacrament of the eucharist contains all the spiritual nutrition necessary to restore us to optimal health and wellness. Christ, the Son of God, our Lord and Savior, says no one who comes to me shall ever be hungry, no one who believes in me shall thirst again.
