Why is their even a little disbelief? The magnificence of Christendom is everywhere. Its easy to see in the great stories of the Gospels as well as in the lives of the great saints. Christendom is the single, incredible source of the good life now and the great life hereafter. Maybe we should take a little deeper look.

The deacon. Who is this guy? Let's do a quick dive into the GIRM on the role of a deacon in our great faith. The guy commonly mistaken as the giant altar boy has quite a role.

Christ the King. That phrase is powerful, but where does it come from? Most of us don't have time to spend two decades in a dusty library getting a Phd in theology. We just want someone to answer the questions. Give me something I can understand, quick. My work break is only 15 minutes, come on... Two minutes on the greatest political claim in history.

There's a famous country song that says we should 'live like we were dying'. Well yes. As Catholics our baptism seals us for God, which frankly sets us up to die. The faithful have the gift of dying in the comfort of God. But, we gotta hang in there all the way.

Every time you drop 5 bucks on a capuccino you have a monk to thank for it. Dating all the way back to the Battle of Vienna the history of the morning Joe reads like a spy novel. Gotta start somewhere.

Where's the tent revival? The Book of Acts is loaded with stories of the apostles healing, prophesizing, and doing things miraculously. The gifts of charism given by God seem to have dissappeared in the modern day. Not so fast. God works miracles through common man everywhere, everyday.

If you only have time for the summary, read paragraph 1 in the Catechism. Its all there. The beauty of God, faith, Christ, redemption, salvation... and, the good life. Then read the last paragraph of the whole book. All it says is 'AMEN, so be it.' Perfect.

Catholics aren't bible Christians. So say the folks on the reformation side of the ledger. We certainly have our share of the great 'unread' in terms of theological knowledge. But, the great Catholic Church is clear what we're supposed to do about knowing our faith.

Humans need leaders. Jesus knew that so well that he set the mission statement, chose a CEO, and organized the board before he departed for Heaven. The first century versions of Tony Robbins and Brene Brown must have been proud. Gotta start somewhere.

Next time you are in mass, look up. Have you ever wondered why the cielings are so high in our churches? Us Catholics don't tend to worship in a strip mall, or an old Pizza Hut. We love our grand buildings... but why?
