The National Catholic Reporter just published my article, “Cultural Catholics: The Loosely-Tethered Half of the American Church,” which covers some of the findings from my most recent book. While the book is geared more for those in ministry, with “everyday Catholics” being an important secondary audience, the article closes with some key points for everyday Catholics to consider as they reach out to the Catholics in their lives. It is probably timely given the proclivity of conversations about faith that can arise at the Thanksgiving table! It may also give you some ideas to bring to your parish as you anticipate the increase in cultural Catholics’ attendance during Christmas Eve. Lots of food for thought!
