When he went to dinner afterward, someone slipped drugs into his drink and he ended up in the hospital. Apparently, it's easier to poison someone you disagree with than to debate them.

- Description: In a world of tablets, smartphones, televisions and computers most of us are rarely bored. The latest news, music, videos, sports scores and games are always just a tap away. So when it comes time for Mass a lot of us find ourselves tuning out. Our minds wander as we wait for the homily to end. We want the Mass to entertain, make us laugh, give us foot-tapping music and sound-bite theology, and get it all done in under an hour. Timothy O'Malley joins us with tips on how to become a "bored again" Catholic.

Bored Again Catholic: How the Mass Could Save Your Life
Are you BORED? Not likely, given the endless opportunities today to see, share, post, watch, and like. So are you bored? No way! (Except maybe at Mass.) We want the Mass to entertain, make us laugh, give us foot tapping music and sound-bite theology, and get it done in under an hour. Yet every Sunday many of us tune out. Author Tim O Malley, in a series of reflections on every part of the Mass, challenges us to turn the idea of boredom on its head, calling boredom the good boredom that opens us to the quiet interior space where we can encounter God a sweet gift. It is there that full participation in the Mass becomes possible the potential to be transfixed by a ritual, to contemplate the readings, to savor the Eucharist. To be fruitfully bored again. Become a Bored Again Catholic and rediscover the power of the Mass to change your life and the entire world. (learn more)
