Facts of Life

According to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C., more than a third of the 126 million or so Americans who are connected to the Internet have used it to access religious and spiritual information. Intriguingly, religious surfers almost doubled in number between March 2000 and November 2002 — from 18 million to 35 million (an increase of 94%). And there has been a significant increase in the daily use of the Internet to access religious information: That number went from 3 million in 2000 to 5 million in 2002, an increase of 66%.

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.
