Mortification and St. Ignatius of Loyola
In writing this article, I want to clarify any misconceptions that I may generate upfront. I am not arguing against mortification itself. I am not arguing against the practice of what I will call “continuous mortification” for some if not most Christians. What I am thinking through is the notion that continuous mortification is not…

Usury in the Modern World
This is the final part of a three-part series in which I speak about ethical investing from a Catholic perspective (though there is a debate!)

Theology of Business Management
I am a Catholic. I am a business owner. There is a world of difference, however, between a business owner who happens to be Catholic and a Catholic who happens to own a business.

A Manual for Catholics on How to Dialogue with Orthodox Christians
I thought I would write a fun article that, while it contains some pearls of truth, is largely meant to tease Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestant Christians. Enjoy! Many a Catholic has gone through their entire lives without knowing what the Orthodox Christian is. For some, the word “Orthodox” often should be followed with the category…
