Church Saints

The Saint Makers chronicles the unlikely alliance between Father Hotze and Dr. Andrea Ambrosi, a country priest and a cosmopolitan Italian canon lawyer, as the two piece together the life of a long dead Korean War hero and military chaplain and fashion it into a case for eternal divinity. Joe Drape offers a front row seat to the Catholic Church's saint-making machinery—which, in many ways, has changed little in 2,000 years-and examines how, or if, faith and science can coexist.

He's done everything right, followed every rule his father gave him. He was ready, at least that's what everyone kept telling him. But was he really? He didn't feel ready, but his sisters told him it would feel right once he met his match. Hopefully they were right, because she was on her way. She was running away, but it was justified. He was someone worth running from. She should have just made the call right away, why had she chickened out? She wouldn't be in this mess if she were braver and had just jumped. Well she corrected that and made the call. She was now on her way across the ...

Since the beginning of the earth, all of the Lord's prophets have looked with longing toward the end times, when the many promises of the Lord would be fulfilled and the Kingdom of God would finally be established upon the earth. With a larger canon than most religions, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have access to a great many doctrines regarding this topic. Yet the words of Isaiah, which were so plain and simple to Nephi, tend to mystify the Latter-day Saints. The words of Ezekiel go largely unread. The dire warnings in 3rd Nephi are casually skimmed over. Why?...

Italy is one of the most popular pilgrimage destinations in the world. No other country features as many basilicas, cathedrals, miracles, martyrs, saints, incorruptibles, stigmatics, and Marian sanctuaries. From Papal Rome to Franciscan Assisi, from St. Anthony of Padua to Padre Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo, from Our Lady of Loreto to the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, it is impossible to visit Italy and not appreciate the richness of the country’s long Christian history. The Complete Pilgrim Guide to Italy is the most comprehensive guide in the English language to date that explores ...

Depuis sept ans, Nauvoo était le lieu de rassemblement des saints des derniers jours, mais sous la menace des émeutiers qui projettent de les chasser de leurs foyers, ils fuient la ville. Sous la direction de Brigham Young et du Collège des douze apôtres, ils se dirigent vers l’Ouest et traversent les plaines, confiant que Dieu leur prépare un foyer au-delà des sommets majestueux des montagnes Rocheuses.

This book is the shorter version of my book Paul’s Agon. It seeks to provide a more succinct expression of the key points in that book which is over 500 pages. These chapters represent the issue of what the Apostle Paul actually did and how it has impacted during the two centuries since he invented Christianity and Jesus. Robert’s Razor is the name I have given to the mindset of rejection of anything that cannot possibly be intellectually. Robert’s Razor, similar in intent to Occam’s Razor, rejects any idea that reeks of the mystical and the non-sequitur. It also rejects any moral ...
