23andMe has nothing on the Catholic Church. They got nothing. They have nothing on this Pentecost Sunday; Jesus Christ reminds us that we, as a church, have a genealogy that goes back to Jesus Christ. As human beings, we have a deep desire to be safe and taken care of, and it is through Jesus Christ and His church that we find this safety. All we have to do is look at Pope Leo the 14th. We look at everyone who came before him, all the way to St. Peter, our first Pope, all the way to Jesus Christ. This is the most fantastic news ever: that we, as Catholics, will be safe until the end of time. The most fantastic news is that we have an unbroken chain of apostolic succession that will continue until the end of time.

Holy Fear
It’s getting close to Halloween. Let’s talk about fear, and I’m not talking about the “It’s a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” kind of fear. I’m talking about the virtue of holy fear, that in the gospel for this Sunday, it says that the judge did not fear God, and that’s a bad thing, and it’s not being scared of God, he’s going to come and smite me…

Captain America vs. Iron Man
Who would win in a fight, Captain America or Iron Man? I have my own opinion, but I’ll keep it to myself. Tony Stark and Captain America do get into a fight. Tony Stark feels betrayed by Captain America. Even though Captain America doesn’t do anything against Tony Stark, Tony Stark still feels betrayed, and it’s justified. The gospel for this Sunday. Jesus says, “Amen, I say to you, what you did not…

Bible study mode activate. The first reading for this Sunday from Isaiah is fire.
