Real Catholic Blog

What in the world? Another Catholic blog? Yes, in fact, and unapologetically so. We don’t think there can be too many of them, especially in a world that always has needed spiritual direction.

Think about it: Jesus sent his Apostles out in pairs to preach the Gospel to the communities of which they were aware. Sounds like a lot of people, right? After all, before mass communication, the only people who knew of Jesus were those who saw him preach or heard of Him word of mouth. So they had to spread the Word themselves. So on the surface of it, the hundreds of millions of Catholics and millions more who practice their faith in Christian denominations — an incomprehensible number to those original 12 fishermen — would seem like an accomplishment.

But the world has grown and there are billions of people today who do not know the Gospel. There are untold others who have left the Church for one reason of another. Who will go two by two to reach them?

So, yes, another Catholic blog, another presence on the Internet, another vehicle to — in any way — embolden and strengthen the faith, to support the teachings of the Church, to aid its ancillary groups, to defend its Biblical Truth as revealed through the Holy Spirit, to win new souls to the Church, to assist those who want to learn about the Church, to help those in doubt and those looking for direction, to be inspirational, to bring clarity to a world increasingly enticed by a culture ruled by the “dictatorship of relativism,” to create a vigorous online community and a complete resource of all things Catholic, and to share the rich tradition of Catholicism through which we hope to bring God’s love and mercy to all, and a reciprocal and uncompromising worship to Him.

Let us now go forth to love and serve the Lord.
