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

A PARABLE OF GENEROSITY We are God’s people and we are called to bring His healing touch to all we meet, as only we can. We carry on his ministry in the world of today. We do what Christ did. We preach the Good News of the Kingdom. We heal the sick. We forgive the sinner. We spend time alone with God in prayer. We serve in his vineyard. We are his hands and his feet - and everything we do, we do in his name. READ MORE

THE CHURCH STILL WAITS TO HEAR A FULL CONFESSION FROM THE HIERARCHY Bankruptcy courts and mediated agreements are venues of cold calculation designed to bring a measure of justice in the form of financial settlements, a term seductively suggestive of conclusion. When employed as a tactic in the Catholic Church's ongoing sexual abuse scandal, however, it is clear that such settlements leave the faithful with far more questions than answers. TALKING ABOUT SYNODALITY A synodal Church is a Church which listens, which realizes that listening “is more than simply hearing”. It is a mutual listening in which everyone has something to learn. The faithful people, the college of bishops, the Bishop of Rome: all listening to each other, and all listening to the Holy Spirit. PARISH PRIEST OR SUPERMAN – YOU CHOOSE If all you want is Mass, no problem. If you want a pastor, big problem. A priest is ordained first and foremost to provide the sacraments. Only he can do that. So let’s help him to do that properly. The best way is for you and I to do everything else. DURING THE SEASON OF CREATION, REMEMBER THE LIVING WATER THAT SUSTAINS ALL LIFE May this year's Season of Creation be an opportunity for people of faith to reflect on what is ours to do as members of God's community of creation who not only depend on Sister Water for life but are also called to protect and preserve this essential part of creation.
