The origins and existence of
Our Lady of Guadalupe are shrouded in great mystery. Given the years of
scientific study devoted to the Image, it should now be clear to anyone with
an open mind that it is the handiwork of God Himself.

Father Carlos Martins has, in the words of one nun, "a most
unusual kind of ministry". You see, Fr. Martins collects pieces
of dead people for a living. He is a relic collector for the Catholic
Church. I've known of Fr. Martins through his association with
the Companions of the Cross, but
I never knew he had this most amazing ministry until March, 2008 when I
had the good pleasure of attending one of his relic presentations at my
local parish. He brought about 150 of his 900 piece collection with
him, too. In this article,, he provides a brief explanation of the
Catholic teaching on relics and shares some of his incredible personal
journey of where the relics have led him.



The universal and generally received truth is that the mainstream media
cannot be trusted. They can't be trusted to provide a credible and truthful
account of reality, even more so when that reality concerns religion. Love
One Another provides another example of the glossing-over of another proof
of Christianity's claims – The Shroud of Manoppello or "Veronica's
Veil" (as it is also called).






Mark Bonocore cuts down
liberal academia's pretensions about Mary's virginity by defending
the traditional Catholic view of this ancient doctrine. Mark
proposes new insights for the Catholic Apologetics community which
will serve the Church's apologia for the
semper virgo.






Guest apologist Robert
Klaus provides this excellent explanation on Mary's Immaculate
conception by answering a common Protestant objection. Simply brilliant.

Mark Bonocore examines the "four Mary's" who
are present during Our Lord's crucifixion in order to
dismiss the baseless speculation that Jesus' "brothers"
were "sons of Mary".

One of the verifiable and genuine signs that God's
blessing is with the Catholic Faith is the overwhelming
evidence of miracles wrought by God through His Saints. In
this examination, Fr.Piotrowski of Love One Another magazine
recounts some of that evidence in detail.




Wibisono Hartono provides our readers with a short research
paper into the signficance of the Gebira in the Old Testament,
showing why Catholics consider Mary the Queen of Heaven.



Mark Bonocore traces the historical and the biblical
support for these three wonderful Marian doctrines.



Mark Bonocore provides a cogent and strong biblical
and patristic case for Mary's perpetual virginity. Read
how he pieces together various biblical passages to show how
the Catholic dogma on Mary is the truth.



Throughout the centuries, the saints and their
miracles have witnessed to the authenticity of the Catholic
Faith. After all the theological and apologetical
banter is finished, it's time to "show us the money". When
that time comes, it is the Catholic Church that has the treasures
of eternal life. Read one convert's testimony on how St. Cuthbert
brought him into the fullness of the truth.


Art Sippo offers his review of Mel Gibson's film from a
Marian perspective. The film was, after all, laced with
Marian themes and motifs that no Catholic could really miss. Art
offers some of his insights on some of these Marian influences.






Frank Jerry provides a concise explanation of the Catholic
teaching on the Assumption of Mary, providing Scriptural support
that this dogma does not, as some Protestants allege, contradict
the Scriptures.




Dr. Paul Owen offers our viewers an excellent reminder
of the constant Christian witness to Mary's perpetual
virginity. He also touches on something that has intrinsic
value in itself: virginity.

What's wrong with
this picture?
Just in time for Halloween, staff apologist, John Pacheco, offers
this biblical defense for the Catholic doctrine of praying to the
saints in heaven. Before speaking to our Protestant brethren
about the Blessed Mother, it's a good idea to first use this
doctrine as a foundation.




As many people are already aware, a recent archeological
discovery, confirmed by the Biblical Archeological Review,
has confirmed the inscription outside an ancient ossuary (an ancient
limestone box containing the bones of a deceased person) which
reads: "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus", and further
that this particular ossuary may indeed refer to the New Testament
James who is also called "brother of Jesus". Now, for
some strange reason, our Protestant friends are just buzzing with
euphoria about the possible implications this has to Mary's perpetual
virginity, but our Director John Pacheco sees no reason for them to
get so excited about it, and pulls the plug on the party. In
this short article, you can learn how he does it.

Mary's role in redemption is central to the Christian
Gospel. Since it was through her womb that the Saviour came,
she provided the flesh which would redeem the world.


Catholic doctrines are intrinsically linked together so
that an attack on one is attack on the other, and in the strength
of one is found the strength of another. In a simple
chart, staff apologist John Pacheco shows the relationship between
the Eucharist and Mary.

Catholic Apologist Chris Muha has challenged Eric
Svendsen's misapplication of the Catholic teaching of Mary being
the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. Read how Chris adeptly turns
the tables on Mr. Svendsen.

An open letter to Eric Svendsen regarding certain
Christological questions surrounding the title "Mother of
God". Shows how to deny Mary as Mother of God is to
worship another Christ.


A rebuttal of Eric Svendsen's arguments against
Mary's perpetual virginity. Has Svendsen been careless
in his research or has he purposely misled people? Read
this comprehensive rebuttal and then say a prayer for
Svendsen.

James White never seems to let up his attack on
Our Lady. Well, his latest work isn't too much to get
excited about, unless, of course, you are a Catholic Apologist
eager to expose the flawed reasoning and poor exegesis. See
how John easily puts down the arguments presented.



This piece provides a personal encounter with an angel
along with a little background on the Catholic teaching on them.



Discover the truth about Mary, and share the glorious
truths of Scripture with a Protestant friend! Hey, the
Old Testament is just oozing with Marian allusions.
