Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! Tomorrow, Sunday, May 31, at 3 p.m., I will give a presentation at the Parkland Theater, 6550 Parkland Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45233, entitled “Let Us Recognize the Time of Our Visitation” (Creation, Family, and Fatima: God’s Order in an Age of Chaos).

Read More »Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! We have often reflected that one of the ways that the Mosaic account of creation corresponds with our experience of created reality is by its symphonic character. In the evolutionary account of origins, there is a linear development from one or a few one-celled organisms, spanning a period of hundreds…

Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Christ is risen! Alleluia! It has been almost exactly ten years since Dr. Thomas Seiler, Eric Bermingham’s son, and I visited Uganda, the “pearl of Africa,” for the first time.

While I began to see the truth of the Catholic Faith through my study of Patristics, and then by reading modern Catholic apologists, I knew that the only right course for me was to enter the Catholic Church in full fellowship. As you can imagine, it has been a hard and painful road for someone with a young family, walking away from a career with a family to support. My wife and I met our real test of faith when we began our RCIA class this past fall. We found what we perceived to be a low view of Scripture and Tradition.
