It is likely that Christ was born during this season, which is from mid-september to october. “ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (New International…

How does Christ fulfill the Kingdom of God? In other words: How is Jesus Christ "God’s people in God’s place under God’s rule and blessing" (21; see especially, pp. 109–14)? Jesus Christ fulfills the Kingdom of God. My aim in this short paper is to show how Christ fulfills the Kingdom of God.

Research Paper: Second Vatican Council The Second Vatican Council began in 1962, and convened in 1965. In those brief three years, some of the Catholic Church’s long held traditions either changed or went away. For some it was the ushering in of the new era of a modern Catholicism. For others, it signaled the destruction of centuries of traditions, and the devaluation of some of the most sacred rituals. It is true that the heart of Catholic teachings were untouched, and that the beliefs that are…

In chapter one of Coleman O’Neil, OP’s book Meeting Christ in the Sacraments, O’Neil presents three important ideas which are: “Exodus,” “The Priesthood of Christ,” and “Members of the Priest.” (O’Neil pg. vii) O’Neil’s three points are so important that they are also echoed in the Magisterial document Sacrosanctum Concilium (hence forth referred to as S.C.).

Jesus to see" (Journal of Oliver B. Huntington, Vol. II, p. 166). That is not what the astronauts found when they went to the moon.

Zechariah’s visions begin with the sight of a horseman standing between two myrtle trees in a valley. Behind him were three horses of different color. When interpreted, the horseman is identified as the angel of the Lord, and the other horses are angels that search the earth. The discovery of these angels points to the purpose of the vision: the world was at peace because of God, and He would now utilize this peace to restore His people to a state of blessedness. Following a promise of…
