I came across this article the other day on the Drudge Report about how Americans are becoming less religious. It read: “The share of U.S. adults who say they believe in God, while still high compared with other advanced industrial countries, slipped to 89 percent in 2014 from 92 percent in 2007, according to the […]

The blog article you are accessing has been indefinitely suspended by order of the United States Department of Justice due to content that some may find insensitive. This article contained references to the Mormon practice of abstaining from caffeine and alcohol, the Muslim practice of abstaining from pork, and the Jewish practice of abstaining from

Here are the results of a poll that I’m sure will ruffle a few feathers on both sides of the political and church isle. A recently released Gallop poll found that one’s “religiousness” is a great predictor of his political affiliation. It found that those who practices their faith regularly are more likely to lean conservative while someone who

I was going to take a little time off from writing RosaryMeds articles and focus on some other projects. However, after listening to this past Sunday’s readings, an Immaculate Heart radio broadcast, and reflecting on my earlier article, the same theme kept leaping out at me — Catholics are called to be annoying.

The Easter Gospel is either from John 20:1-9 or Matthew 28:1-10. Both talk about how Mary Magdalene came to Jesus’ tomb only to find it empty for He had risen. Naturally this Gospel relates to the First Glorious Mystery — Jesus’ Resurrection. Realizing the sorrow of Jesus’s passion and death only makes His resurrection that

The Gospel for April 3, 2011 is John 9:1-41 (yep, it is a long one). Jesus angers the pharisees by healing a blind man on the Sabbath. The high priests are outraged because they see Jesus as someone who undermines their authority and performs miracles without their approval. But Jesus says that He came to
