try to 'match the hatch,' which means, replicating what the trout are hitting on any given day. This is not cut and dry, because sometimes there are no hatches. So, I try fishing with what worked in the past. Sometimes this doesn't work either. In which case, I don't continually catch trout. I vary my fly-tying from commercial patterns, by using a different color feather or thread. Keeping a list of all the items that I need to take fishing, is crucial to me. That way, there is no…

The beginnings of Martin Luther’s life were surprisingly similar to the other famous people of this time. I was genuinely interested when I found how many people that were famous from the renaissance had started out in life on low-income farms and were born to seemingly unremarkable people. Along this theme, Martin Luther was born to Hans Luder: a miner who was described as rugged, stern, and harsh; and Margarete Lindemann. When he was younger, Martin Luther was regularly beaten by his father,…

largest Eucharistic conferences of the 20th century. At the time Ireland was home to over three million Catholics and the congress commemorated the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The chosen theme was "The Propagation of the Sainted Eucharist by Irish Missionaries”. The congress offered the Free State a chance to show case itself on an international stage and while it lasted no more than a week but it was hugely significant at the time for proving the Irish Free State as a…

But I do it both on my own account and on yours; on my own, so that those who see me henceforth possessing any money may say that I am mad, and on yours, that you may learn to place hope in God and not in riches" (Waldo).

While the story mainly…

The crux of Calvin’s “Reply to Sadoleto” focuses on the theological criticisms of Roman Catholicism and the formation of Reformation theology. Calvin argues that the Roman Catholic Church first and foremost silenced the Gospel, which led to the perversion of the four things on which the safety of the church is founded, which are doctrine, discipline, the sacraments, and ceremonies (9).

This is thought the tools that God had provide, The Sacraments of Reconciliation that cleans the soul and the Eucharist that brings Jesus inside. Since, the only way to recive the Body and Blood of Christ is in state of Grace, there is no other road than the Sacrament of Penance. As Jesus Himself had said, "Before we come to the altar with the gift of our…
