Friends Indeed

John Lilly Features

p>Catholics have more close friends than non-Catholics. That’s according to the Contemporary Catholic Trends poll conducted last fall by LeMoyne College in Syracuse and Zogby International. Only 4% of Catholics said they had no confidants and just 1% reported only one such friend. More than a quarter of Catholics (27%) said they had 10 or more close friends. These numbers stand in striking contrast to a 2004 poll of the general population in which 25% of Americans said they had no one to confide in.

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.
