Ruse was a longtime contributor to Breitbart.com, a founding columnist for The Catholic Thing, and writes a bi-weekly column for Crisis Magazine. Prior to helping to found C-FAM, Ruse worked in magazine publishing at Forbes, Fortune, the Atlantic Monthly and Rolling Stone.
He recently published the book "Littlest Suffering Souls: Children Whose Short Lives Point Us to Christ" (2017) that tells the story of three children who suffered greatly, died young and inspired many they met and others that have only heard about them. One of the children is Margaret Leo, who died from complications related to spina bifiida. She was the daughter of Leonard Leo, the influential head of the conservative Federalist Society.
Ruse's second book, "Fake Science: Exposing the Left's Skewed Statistics, Fuzzy Facts, and Dodgy Data" (2017) is scheduled for release from Regnery Publishers in mid-July. In "Fact Science", Ruse challenges scientific claims made by the left on a range of public policy issues including global warming, genetically modified foods, fracking and many others.
He is a Knight of Magistral Grace in the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and a Knight in the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre. He is also a recipient of the Defender of Life Award presented by Students for Life of America. Ruse is a recipient of the John Cardinal O'Connor Award from Legatus. In 2004, Ruse and his wife Cathy received the John Paul II Award for Advancing the Culture of Life from the Institute for the Psychological Sciences.
