At the Church of the Multiplication in Israel (Video)

Filmed live on The Faith Explained pilgrimage to the Holy Land, I explain why the Multiplication of the Loaves should be read as a supernatural miracle in Jesus’ career, and how it relates to the daily miracle of the Eucharist.

Fun post by Brandon Vogt over at the Word on Fire blog. Brandon is, along with Dale Ahlquist, a driving force behind the 38th Annual Chesterton Conference, and… (C)onference organizers were surprised to see a new registration come through for one “Thomas Collins” living in Toronto, Canada.

Bible History Set in Stone

(My latest for Catholic Ansers Magazine. Enjoy!  — Cale) A few weeks ago, while leading a pilgrimage tour to Israel, I couldn’t wait to bring the group to one of the greatest museums in the world: the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

Jesus Versus the “Son of God”

Here’s my December article for Catholic Answers Magazine. Merry Christmas! “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God” (Mark 1:1). The Gospel of Mark doesn’t have an “infancy narrative” about the events surrounding Jesus’ conception and birth as do Matthew and Luke. Rather, Mark begins in a deceptively simple manner with […]
