The Accessible Pope
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Thursday, January 26, 2012
I sometimes hear from people who say they’d like to read Pope Benedict more, but they’re afraid he’s too difficult for them.
Here’s a bit of useless information to encourage them.
You need only the reading level of a 16-year-old to follow his typical homilies.
With that to spur us, here’s a recent papal document of interest:

Faith & Family at Google+
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Monday, July 18, 2011
I have been playing around with Google+ as much as time will allow in recent days, and so far, I really like what I see. I especially enjoy seeing some familiar Faith & Family faces when they pop up over there.
I know from Lisa’s recent post that some of you are experimenting with this latest form of social media as well. As I was creating different circles over the weekend, I thought it might be nice to gather a list of Faith & Family moms on Google+ so that we could connect with one another.
If you are over at Google+ and would like to be part of the Faith & Family list, please leave a comment on the Google+ post. That way, anyone who would like to form a “Faith & Family” circle at Google+ will be able to scroll through the list, right-click on names, and add them to their circle.
Thanks and see you there!

Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, July 13, 2011
I recently read an article that shared this list of guidelines for fighting fair in a marriage. The list is from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and has some important reminders and tips for good communication in marriage and how to keep the love alive by treating each other with respect. Enjoy!

5 Rules for Teens on Facebook
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Tuesday, March 22, 2011
My oldest daughter turned 16 a little over a week ago. This rite of passage came with something I have been dreading almost as much as she has been looking forward to it: Permission to open a Facebook account.
Facebook is a powerful tool.
I have put off giving any of my kids permission to use it until now, but I do think it’s important for us to supervise and guide our kids through their use of of... READ MORE

Facebook: A Marriage Killer?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Marriage on Monday, February 28, 2011
It feels like I’ve been reading and hearing it everywhere lately: Facebook is bad for marriages.
The statistic I often see is that Facebook is cited as a cause of divorce in 20% of cases.*
I told this to my husband and he raised an eyebrow at me. “Like… how? Someone got addicted to Farmville and neglected their spouse?”
If only it were that simple! Facebook, as it presents chances to reconnect with... READ MORE
