CARA
[The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate]
Now Features a Blog Called 1964
CARA recently introduced its own blog, called “1964" to commemorate the year of its founding as part of the Church’s emphasis on social science research as called for by Vatican Council II. The blog is edited and updated by CARA researcher Mark M. Gray. You can find it by clicking on to this link -- 1964. The blog features concise summaries of research findings that shed light on current issues of concern and interest to Catholics today. The topics that have been featured in the blog to date include the following:
