Welcome

Welcome to my blog on Current Events and Religion in American life.  I realize there's the old adage to "never discuss religion or politics," but on this blog there will be a lot of discussion on both.   As a Catholic who is pro life but also Democrat as well as an expert on American Religious History who holds degrees in Religion and Political Science, I have keen interest on the current religious happenings in the United States as well as a unique perspective.  I invite anyone to the discussion and/or to raise issues of interest of your own, but I ask for you to keep it civil.

A quick note on the title of the blog: St. Brendan was one of my favorite Irish Saints with the legends of his sailing the seas and the adventures therein.  As one of Irish descent I just decided to have a little fun with the title.  Hopefully it will set a tone for the blog where although I'll be handling heady issues I'll be doing so in a positive and civil manner.  I ask you to do the same.  After all, we're all in the same boat.
