Overcoming roadblocks to the Catholic Faith

www.catholic.com Dr. Scott Hahn explains how we can overcome roadblocks to the Catholic faith when we engage in evangelizing non-Catholics.

We need more than status updates—we need relationships.

Learning about God’s Heart from the TGIF (Twitter, Google, iPhone, Facebook) Generation
 
The explosion in social networking is perhaps the most visible expression of the human longing to know others and to be known. Is there a parallel in contemporary Christianity?
 
The church posts a welcome sign outside, but has Christianity lost sight of reaching the current generation with the heart of the gospel

Faith in Their Own Color: Black Episcopalians in Antebellum New York City (Religion and American Culture)

Faith in Their Own Color: Black Episcopalians in Antebellum New York City (Religion and American Culture)

On a September afternoon in 1853, three African American men from St. Philip’s Church walked into the Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of New York and took their seats among five hundred wealthy and powerful white church leaders. Ultimately, and with great reluctance, the Convention had acceded to the men’s request: official recognition for St. Philip’s, the first African American Episcopal church in New York City. In Faith in Their Own Color, Craig D. Townsend tells the remarkable story of

Why do fundamentalist Christians put in the least amount of effort in their faith?


Why do fundamentalist Christians put in the least amount of effort in their faith?
Think about it, people don’t just suddenly announce one day “I’m a Catholic” (or “I’m a Lutheran” or “I’m a Methodist” for that matter). It takes work. It takes reading from reputable sources, it takes dedication and it takes time.

But people DO announce one day “I’m a Born again Christian” or “I’m a fundamentalist Christian” all the time, because all that’s necessary is for them to chant an incantation giving themselves to Jesus. They’ve thrown away all the church teachings and history and disregard it because it’s “man made”. They water down, they discard, they toss everything away without even studying it. All they have is their KJV bible. And then they somehow have the right to be patronizing to the more established Christians.
