Our Most Popular Articles
The five most visited articles at Deo Omnis Gloria are a bit surprising. I would expect one of our researched Eucharist articles or the anti-Christ. But visits are driven by general popular opinion – in other words, what’s on the mind of searchers. So our top five is an interesting mix of articles. I’ll start with the least popular:
Number Five: Presidential Election 2008
This article on the upcoming US Presidential election looks at the future candidates in terms of their view on Life issues. You can tell a lot about a person by whether they will protect the lives of innocent babies (who can’t vote). If you haven’t read it, go see if 2008 is a disaster for life. This is a recent article.
Number Four: Dr. Dobson’s Odd Teaching
This is one of the earliest articles written on this site and continues to see lots of visits because it directly addresses a very popular religious figure. The article criticizes Dr. Dobson’s approach to masturbation in particular. What’s the problem? Read A Bone to Pick with Dr. Dobson.
Number Three: Jehovah Witnesses and the Truth
This is a Catholic response to the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ claim of the 144,000 elect. It addresses the issues pretty cleanly, which helps its popularity, I’m sure. Again, this is a slightly older article and it deals with a popular topic in American culture. Read Jehovah Witnesses and the 144,000 Elect: A Catholic Response here.
Number Two: Communion for non-Catholics
In an age of relativism that extends to religious issues, this topic is a bit controversial. The Catholic Church teaches plainly that you must be Catholic to receive communion during Mass. Why? Read Why Can’t Non-Catholics Receive Holy Communion here.
Number One: The Role of Godparents
Yep, this is the most popular article on the site. I’m guessing it includes parents trying to choose Godparents as well as Godparents trying to understand their role in the life of their Godchild. We also get a decent number of comments on this article. Read What’s the Point of Godparents here. By the way, this was by far the most popular article. Every week it has about twice as many visitors as the second most popular article.
So we end up with quite a mix of different topics in the top five. Number six is our Prayer Request page and number seven is a pure apologetics article: 10 Questions for “Bible Christians”.
This was an interesting exercise for me, so I thought I would share the results. Is it what you expected? Just curious.
God bless,
Jay
