Increases in the cost of traditional health insurance have driven many people to participate in an alternative to traditional care insurance.

Health care sharing plans are significantly different than traditional health insurance and are usually based on Christian ideals where like-minded people help each other.

If you are considering a health care sharing plan, listen to the Compass Catholic Podcast as we have a conversation with our guest, Bob,  who has been using a health care sharing plan successfully (and less expensively) for years.

The Compass blog has more information and links to the major health care sharing plans.

Episode #50:  All forms of abuses are evil and inspired by demons. The Blessed Mother has said many, many times in apparitions around the world that we must pray the Rosary for the defeat of evil. She’s warned us again and again that if we don’t live holy lives and pray for the defeat of evil, terrible things will happen, very terrible. In this final episode in the series on the Apostolate of the Laity, Terry Modica invites you to the Apostolate of the Rosary Walkathon, which is based on her personal experience doing a Rosary Walkathon to help a parish that was suffering from an abusive priest in 2003-2004. It was very effective, which is not surprising because abusiveness is evil and the Blessed Mother has said many, many times in apparitions around the world that we must pray the Rosary for the defeat of evil. She's warned us again and again that if we don't live holy lives and pray for the defeat of evil, terrible things will happen, very terrible.

Catholic Faith contradicts the Bible, some Protestants will say. Karlo Broussard explains that this is a challenge Catholics must answer because we accept the Bible as the Word of God. Not to worry, he also shows how such claims are wildly mistaken.

There is a saying I have been using in business for over 40 years, “You can only coast in one direction.” So often, as I talked with new clients they would say, “if only we could keep the status quo, things would be great.” The problem with the keeping everything the same is that things are always changing. In this podcast, Tony discusses Old Wineskins.

Scripture: “Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. [And] no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’” –Luke 5:37-39

Reflections: Are you guilty of clinging to the old and familiar?  How can we reflect on younger Catholics and find ways to communicate with them in a way that makes our faith attractive?  Are you guilty of the saying, “if we could only keep things the way they were?

The episode is based on an experience I had this past All Saints day.  A little boy had his heart moved by the beautiful music at the Mass.  I share that experience with that boy with you all today.  God Bless!

Episode #49:  Here's what you can do to drive evil from the Church and help restore it to the true Holy Catholic Church. God is purging the Church and he wants you to be part of his plan! 

The Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity says (para. 7): "The whole Church must work vigorously in order that men may become capable of rectifying the distortion of the temporal order and directing it to God through Christ." This includes the distortions in the Church that have been undermining people's faith.

Canon Law #212 says in paragraph 3 that we, Christ’s faithful, “have the right, indeed at times the duty, in keeping with their knowledge, competence and position, to manifest to the sacred Pastors their views on matters which concern the good of the Church. They have the right also to make their views known to others of Christ’s faithful, but in doing so they must always respect the integrity of faith and morals, show due reverence to the Pastors and take into account both the common good and the dignity of individuals.” 

Jesus says, "Enough is enough!" It is time we speak up. But what if the hierarchy doesn't listen? Terry Modica proposes in this episode a Rosary Walkathon based on an experience from her own life.
