    The Pelican as a Type of Christ

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! Recently one of the members of our leadership team asked me to comment on criticism by enemies of the Church who fault Her for incorporating into her sacred iconography the ancient motif of a pelican mother who cuts her own breast to feed her children.  According to the critics, natural…

    Male and Female He Created Them

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! One of most painful experiences of my life has been to watch people in positions of authority use their power and influence to bully truth-seekers into submission to their institutions’ cherished myths.  More often than not, decision-makers have been so thoroughly indoctrinated into myths like “molecules-to-man evolution,” that they sincerely…

    Fr. Victor Warkulwiz on De Koninck

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! One of the most influential modern Catholic advocates for the reconciliation of the molecules-to-man-evolution hypothesis with the Catholic Faith as set forth by St. Thomas Aquinas in the Summa Theologica was Charles De Koninck (1906-1965).  Dr. De Koninck was a Belgian-Canadian Thomist philosopher and theologian, and the director of the Department of…

    Refuting Allegations of Inconsistency

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Pax Christi! On several occasions in recent years Catholic academics have criticized the Kolbe Center for allegedly holding an inconsistent position in regard to the use of scientific evidence to support the traditional literal historical interpretation of the sacred history of Genesis.

    Dear Mr. Owen; I left the Catholic Church in my late teens. I was doing things that made me feel guilty and going to Mass made it worse so instead of repenting, seeking God’s forgiveness and the Grace to change, I went my own way. (The song we used at my 8th grade Catholic school graduation was Sinatra’s “I Did it My Way”!) During my 20+ years away from the Church I became enamored of the Eastern philosophies of Chuang Tzu, Lao Tzu, Buddhism, Baghwan Shree Rashneesh.
