1 John 5

Bearing witness to Christ, in word and in deed, is the mission of each one of the baptized.
The martyrs give testimony to this.
“So there are three that testify,
the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and the three are of one accord.”

Popesplaining as Apologetics

Here's how I make sense of the Holy Father's recent comments on the sinfulness of the death penalty—it all has to do with circumstances.

Christology and Soteriology Are Linked

“Which commandment is the greatest?"
