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 faith-filled communities to a world which desperately needs to hear the Gospel message - now more than ever before.

HERE IS YOUR GOD! We are an Advent people who live in hope and trust in God's promises. The spirit of the Advent season is filled with images of some of the most powerful examples of this hope and trust. Two of the most important are the prophet Isaiah and John the Baptist.   READ MORE

THIRD SUNDAY IN ADVENT God has given birth to a creation capable of participating in divine life. Jesus gave a replicable witness to that truth. Like him, we need to pray without ceasing to open ourselves to grace. THE FUTURE OF SYNODALITY To those in the know, Leo’s use of the word "synodal" — describing a church that listens well, accompanies people in the messiness of life and consults widely across church constituencies before making decisions — signaled that he intended to continue forward Pope Francis’ signature reform process, the Synod on Synodality.   LOVE AND POLITICAL ORDER: THE EVOLUTIONARY PATH TO UNITY Pierre Teilhard de Chardin offers a radical counter-narrative: that the universe itself is structured by love, that consciousness emerges through love, and that our fractured world can be healed only through a renewed understanding of love as the fundamental energy of existence.   THE 'MARIAN PRINCIPLE' AND MINISTRY In addition to Advent's focus on prophetic hope, this season is a time to focus on Mary the mother of Jesus. THE SEASON OF WAITING ISN’T ALWAYS JOYFUL Advent is a time to acknowledge that waiting can sometimes be painful and lonely. WHAT STAR ARE YOU FOLLOWING NOW? The function of Advent is to remind us what we’re waiting for as we go through life too busy with things that do not matter to remember the things that do. When year after year we hear the same scriptures and the same hymns of longing for the life to come it becomes impossible to forget the refrains of the soul. MAKE ADVENT COUNT! As Christ gives Himself simply to us as an infant babe, so we can prepare for His coming by giving ourselves to others in simple and ordinary ways.
