All Things Catholic
The Catholic Church is rich and beautiful in it's practices and beliefs. Sad thing is, many of us don't know what we're missing and may think one church is as good as another, not realizing what a treasure we have.
Let us explore our faith together and see what God has for us!
Right here! Right now!
"Give me more Jesus! Through prayer. Through adoration. Through Communion. Through Confession. More more more more!"

The CatholicsComeHome.org "Epic" national TV commercial, or Evangomercial (TM), features the history, beauty, spirituality, and accomplishments of the Catholic Church over the centuries. "Epic" is filled with religious images of the Mass and Sacraments, Catholic churches, Catholic schools and universities, Sacred Scripture and Tradition, the saints and popes of the Church, and much more, to evoke the expansive impact of Catholicism on the world and individuals souls throughout history and in the ages to come, and to invite fallen-away Catholic and non-Catholics to come home.

the list and you find Father Flanagan's homes, Catholic Medical Mission Board, Covenant House, and
more. Add the thousands of other charities, from Missionaries to the Poor, Amigos for Christ, soup
kitchens, homeless shelters, to religious orders (like Missionaries of Charity) & individual parishes who
often do their work in anonymity, and you will see some of the charitable works of the Catholic
Church.

Source: From How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization by Dr. Thomas Woods, page 94 and
following:
"Roger Bacon, a Franciscan who taught at Oxford, was admired for his work in mathematics and
optics, and is considered to be a forerunner of modern scientific method."
"Like Roger Bacon, Saint Albert [the Great] was careful to note the importance of direct observation in
the acquisition of knowledge about the physical world. In De Mineralibus, he explained that the aim of
natural science was 'not simply to accept the statements of others, that is, what is narrated by people,
but to investigate the causes that are at work in nature for themselves.'"
"Robert Grosseteste...bishop of Lincoln...has been called the first man ever to write down a
complete set of steps for performing a scientific experiment."
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13598b.htm
spite of its boldness the assertion is made, in order to save the appearance of consistency. The fact is,
however, that up to the French Revolution, when Voltaire and Rousseau drew the last consequences
from Atheism, the great scientists, almost to a man, speak with great reverence of God and of His
wonderful Creation. Is it necessary to mention Copernicus, Kepler, Galilei, Tycho Brahe, Newton,
Huyghens, Boyle, Haller, Mariotte, the Bernoullis, Euler, Linné, and many others? Since it is often the
advocates of the glorious principles of 1789 that never tire of recounting the tragedy of Galilei, we beg
to remind them of the great chemist Lavoisier, who died faithful to his Church under the guillotine,
while the free-thinkers raised the cry: "Nous n'avous plus besoin de chimistes" [see "Etudes", cxxiii
(Paris, 1910), 834 sqq.]. For the time after the French Revolution we find in Kneller's volume (see
below) the names of a glorious array of believing scientists, taken only from the branch of natural
sciences. According to Donat ("Die Freiheit der Wissenschaft", Innsbruck, 1910, p. 251) among the
8847 scientists enumerated in Poggendorff's "Biographisch-Literarisches Handwörterbuch" (Leipzig,
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13598b.htm).
