Let’s Talk NFP! 10 Things You Can Do!

Some time ago, I was participating in a Facebook conversation about natural family planning when one of the respondents objected that the topic wasn’t appropriate for a forum as public as Facebook.

How to Fix Failing Parish Catechesis

Patheos’ Barbara Nicolosi wrote a new article about the failure of parish-based catechesis. She’s largely correct and as a theology teacher, I can’t say I disagree with her plan for handling it.
