Instead of becoming an academic. The Myth of Persecution.
Notre Dame professor: Christian martyrdom a myth
Another shame for Notre Dame. She is rather attractive, in that photo at least - probably had the potential to hook an orthodox Christian alpha. Ah well, pride and ambition, right? Here's an ad for her book:
She hasn't done much with her blog, but she has written for HuffPo. She has a fan at Patheos and "free thinkers" have interviewed her - Episode 113: The Myth of Martyrdom (Part 1) with guest Candida Moss.

I have to say, though, that the talk about persecution from some of our bishops may sound alarmist and premature to non-believers; but it is also the case that the elites are hostile to orthodox Christianity when it poses a threat to them. But for American bishops to say this, when much of what is happening to the Church and what will happen to the Church is "self-inflicted"? Such statements may mistakenly draw attention away from our own failings by putting all of the blame on an external threat. Friction between Church and state should be expected; the failure of Catholics, bishops, college presidents, laymen, to order their own houses is disgraceful.
