Q: What do you think is the biggest challenge for those wanting to get involved with the New Evangelization? A: Ourselves. In order to evangelize we must first be evangelized. The word “evangelization” comes from the Latin word for Gospel, evangelium. It’s the “good news” of salvation through Jesus Christ. So it all starts with a personal encounter with the person of Jesus Christ. That’s the goal of the New Evangelization. But you can’t lead someone to a place you’ve... Read more

Q: What inspired you to write this book Saint, a book where you openly divulge your own shortcomings to complete strangers? A: For me to have the nerve to call myself The Catholic Guy, or to declare I should be a canonized saint, means I better start addressing my failings (ie, sins) before anyone else does! The funny thing about shortcomings is that we’ve all got ‘em. But it’s human nature to walk around pretending that we don’t. So I... Read more

Lino Rulli, known as “The Catholic Guy” on Sirius XM, has done just that with his newest book Saint: Why I Should Be Canonized Right Away. Lino makes the case throughout the book for why he should be canonized a saint, sooner than later. To plead his case he tells stories of events in his... Read more
