and ports, like the Strait of Magellan, for upcoming explorers and expeditions. Although Martin Luther is not a very popular figure in the Catholic Church, he had a greater impact on history than Ferdinand Magellan, as a controversial figure, by leading to significant reforms in the Catholic Church, which later influenced the morals and ideas of the Catholic Church today, emphasizing and recognizing the bible as a central religious source, and by translating the bible, making it omnipresent.…

Back to School Night Good evening, and welcome to Back to School Night! As we start the new school year, it is important to reflect on why we are here and what we hope to accomplish. The Catholic school has, as a primary mission, the faith formation of our children. It is up to us, in partnership with you, to address matters of faith. Tonight, I want to assure you of my commitment to the faith formation of the children. The Gospel values and our faith identity will pervade all we do. As a…

start to question if they were teaching the truth. The Renaissance Era began after the tragedies of the Black Death and The Crusades left the catholic people questioning why god would bring this to them and also left the Europeans wanting to go back to the glory days of the Roman Empires. The teachings of the church were challenged through the art, catholics inside the church and scientific advancements. The Renaissance inspired a new way of thinking that changed Europe forever.

conceived Catholic from my mom, yet my dad is Protestant. From setting off to a Catholic school when I was more youthful, I took in the Catholic conviction, yet too periodically we would go to chapel with my grandma who was Protestant. Seeing the contrast between a few religions and their convictions gives an alternate point of view toward that they are so inviting to different convictions. On the off chance that you are not Catholic, you are disapproved of and don't feel welcome in the Catholic…

Shared by all of them was the impression that salvation is mutually effected by humans through their ability to please God by doing righteous acts or good works, and by God through his offer of forgiving grace.

nationalities and religions, it is not expected to be a fully unified country. Coming from a Vietnamese and Cambodian family, I have very different beliefs than where I go to an all Catholic girls school. Because I am Buddhist, I disagree with what the Catholic Church says about religious practices. When I pray to God at school, I believe in the some of moral values taught by Jesus Christ, but I do not fully believe in following his foot steps. For example, I do not believe in the body and blood…

Enlightenment The Renaissance movement marked the transition from intense catholic faith, to a period where religion, education and above all, the arts were greatly developed. With the vast knowledge of previous civilizations, the imagery of the Renaissance surpassed anything before its time. Initially, fear and darkness were represented in medieval times because the church was a major cultural factor. The School of Athens fresco and the last judgment relief, shows the huge shift from the…

Religious freedom is a gift that few people will receive, but are fortunate to have. For some, religious freedom is not existent, and living out their faith becomes a life struggle. For others, the freedom of religion is present, and they will never experience the pain of persecution for their faith. The freedom to live out one’s faith is a privilege that should never be taken for granted. Religious freedom is having the right to follow any form of faith, and express it freely without…

is unique because I was raised in a Catholic-household, meaning I went through my First Communion and Confirmation, but I still never had the willingness to learn who Christ was, or why I was a Christian. My own personal struggle with my faith finally concluded when I came to APU. The feelings of skepticism and uneasiness about where I was with my faith really felt as though they…
