What We Can Learn from the Twelfth Century
|
| In this selection from A History of Apologetics, we see that the tension between preaching the truth and finding common ground with other religions goes back at least 800 years. We also see that while the style changes, the substance of apologetics and its demands on Christian charity do not. |

|
| They don’t attend Mass. They don’t pray the rosary; their churches probably don’t have statues or an organ; they don’t have perpetual adoration; they never used Latin as a liturgical language; their priests may be married.

Marriage Makes It Happen
|
| What if a stop sign had the power to reach out and make your car stop? Or if an athlete you admire could give you his talent? That’s the kind of power God gives to the sacrament of marriage.
