Welcome!

eCatholicism.org is a collection of Internet Resources with up-do-date and current information regarding the Church's interaction with the modern world, politics and society.

Besides being a resource for information, eCatholicism.org will also offer our visitors the ability to proclaim the Good News in new ways, to serve as witnesses to the Saving Power of our God and to re-affirm their identity as Catholic communities to a world which desperately needs to hear the Gospel message - now more than ever before.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR US?

Whenever we are faced with having to make adult choices, it is very difficult for us to be totally selfless. We are innately self centered. Subconsciously, at least, we are always asking: "What's in it for us?" Religious decisions are no exception. If we deliberately choose to become disciples of Jesus we too like James and John, might ask: "What reward do you promise us? Will we become powerful and famous?" Jesus doesn't play those kinds of games. He makes it very clear that if we choose to follow Him we are asking to become suffering servants like Him. We will be expected to make ourselves vulnerable and expendable. The only greatness we can expect is to be asked to make great sacrifices and to become heroes through suffering and humiliation.
