God clearly condemns the use of any 'graven images', and yet Catholic churches, claiming to follow the will of God, are packed with statuary from the nave to the altar. Is there a difference between the idols of pagan rites and statues of Catholic religion? Do Catholics really worship or pray to them? Raymond De Souza journeys through the biblical foundations of statues in Hebrew and Catholic worship, from the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament to the will of Christ in the New Testament, conveyed to us through His Church.

Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers discusses what it means to be a Catholic man in today’s society by exploring how contemporary culture speaks to men about truth, faith, and the meaning of life. Men who live their faith in fidelity to God’s holy will become free to love and more open to receive the gift of grace in response to the Lord’s call to “be perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). Deacon Harold shows how an authentic, Christ-centred male spirituality fosters and nurtures growth in holiness, encourages men to become defenders of the culture of life, and inspires men to become loving servants of their wives, families, and the Church.
