FACTS OF LIFE

One of the longest and most detailed studies of childcare in the United Kingdom has concluded that — surprise! — young children who are looked after by their mothers do significantly better in developmental tests than those cared for in daycare or by babysitters or relatives.

Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Next week, the Bishops of the United States will meet in Orlando and consecrate America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This week on Register Radio we are joined by Bishop Kevin Rhoades to explain the importance of the consecration and how we can all take part and then Register senior writer Zelda Caldwell tells us about the remarkable phenomenon of diocesan priests living in community.
