Recently, for PJMedia‘s Faith section, I took a look at a Gallup poll taken between Dec. 2 and 6th, in which 824 adults were reached by cellphone and landline and asked: What [woman/man] that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most? And what is your second choice. Hillary Clinton, for the 20th time in a row, took the top spot for women. Click here to read the original story... Read more
Do NFL players get concussions? Sure, they do. But they don’t start playing the game the day they arrive at rookie camp. Statistics show that while football is up there as a source of concussions for high-schoolers, it ranks well behind wrestling and hockey for college athletes. Schoolboy athletes also get significant levels of concussions from rugby. Women also suffer significant levels of concussions from lacrosse and soccer in high school, and from hockey, basketball, soccer and lacrosse in college.... Read more

Even if you’re lucky enough to live in an intact Catholic family — and especially if you live in a fractured family with multiple steps and exes — transit is an issue at Christmastime. Starting tomorrow, a huge chunk of America will pick up stakes and relocate itself to another part of the country en masse. Those that don’t leave their home area may still be making the trek from house to house on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, seeking... Read more
Suffering is inevitable and often inexplicable, but Catholics know there is always redemption and grace. The story of Madeline Guarraia’s (at far left, above, with her siblings and father) battle with childhood leukemia — symbolized by her beloved tiger — has touched hearts in her home town of East Lyme, her home state of Connecticut, and around the nation. The cancer has returned following a last-ditch bone-marrow transplant, and the town celebrated Christmas before Thanksgiving, concerned about how long Maddie would live.... Read more
