Cathleen Falsani

Journalist

Cathleen Falsani is a veteran religion journalist and author of nonfiction books including "The God Factor: Inside the Spiritual Lives of Public People," "Sin Boldly: A Field Guide for Grace," and "Disquiet Time: Rants and Reflections on the Good Book by the Skeptical, the Faithful and a Few Scoundrels." She lives in Southern California. 

Cathleen Falsani finds that the movie version of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg misses the very point of the social network: to reconnect with people with whom we already have a relationship.

The Coen brothers’ new movie “A Serious Man” wrestles with spiritual questions without coming up with simple answers, writes religion columnist Cathleen Falsani.
