"Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." 1 Peter 3:15
"[N]ot 100 in the United States hate the Roman Catholic Church, but millions hate what they mistakenly think the Roman Catholic Church is."--Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
We believe:God is logical. He made man inherently logical. Our beliefs are rational. "Irrational faith" is not Christian faith. This said, we believe that there has been much confusion about the word "rational." Many Christians who claim to have an "irrational faith" are actually being rational, but don't realize it.
Man should be humble. This means we should seriously consider all serious questions and challenges raised by believers and unbelievers about our faith. This also means we should live exactly what we believe. Hypocrisy is terrible sin.
Christians should pursue excellence. If our faith is correct, then only Christianity has a worldview capable of producing consistent, beautiful, quality things. The Church should be providing talented, deserving leaders in all areas of life, particularly in the arts, in order to demonstrate the beauty of creation and God's character.
Christians should be concerned for the glory of God and for the welfare of men.
These beliefs are intertwined. Hypocrisy is inconsistency, which is a lack of spiritual excellence. Christians should demonstrate the glory of God to the world, using their gifts to the fullest extent possible.
This Web page is dedicated to the defense of the Catholic rule of faith within Patristic thought. The Catholic rule of faith consists of three coordinate and complementary authorities: Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition and the teaching Church. The Church Fathers embraced both Scripture and Tradition not so much as two independent sources of apostolic data but moreso as two different means or modes of transmitting the entire Apostolic heritage.
