First Belong to God: On Retreat with Pope Francis
'This is not a time to hunker down and lock our doors.

It does this by focusing on the three foundational forms of belonging: to God, to creation, and to others. Structured around the core principles of St. Ignatius's Spiritual Exercises, First Belong to God encapsulates the key aspects of the Francis pontificate: * the essence of being 'God-belonging' entities * the way God's mercy challenges our self-reliance * the journey to building the Kingdom in the footsteps of Christ * heeding the cry of the earth and the stranger * striving for fraternity by championing synodality Whether you're

Church and the Pope
Today, the place and authority of the bishop of Rome in the first millennium has become a matter of great interest and importance not only for the official dialogue but for all serious seekers of the true Church. One such seeker is the prolific New York Times Bestselling Author Robert Spencer, who applied his analytical acumen to a thorough examination of The Church & The Pope. From the New Testament and the Apostolic Fathers through the Oecumenical Councils and the filioque controversy in the time of St. Photios the Great, on up to the Great Schism, all of the 'flash points' of church history indicate the same conciliar nature of the Church as witnessed in Acts: 'it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us.' The whole 'cloud of witnesses' give testimony to the truth of the Church vis-a-vis the post-schism papal claims: the Apostle Peter himself and the choir of the Apostles, St. Clement of Rome, St. Ignatius of Antioch, St. Polycarp of Smyrna, St. Irenaeus of Lyons, St. Cyprian of
