Fox to Catholics—No Apologies?
HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, Nov. 9—Did the Fox television network apologize for smearing the priesthood and religious life in its Ally McBeal show?
According to the Washington Post, it did. It was reporting on the recent episode of the show about a nun suing the Church after... READ MORE
Persecuted for Faith
BY Sister Mary Thomas Noble
November 22-28, 1998 Issue
Iam writing to commend the Register for running such a fine article on the International Day of Prayer (IDOP) for the Persecuted Church (“Churches Gear Up for Day of Prayer...,” Nov. 1-7). This was only the third year for the IDOP, and your article will undoubtedly “get the word out” and encourage... READ MORE
Faithful Reason, Reasonable Faith
November 22-28, 1998 Issue
Although formally addressed to the bishops of the Catholic Church, Pope John Paul II's 13th Encyclical, Fides et Ratio [“Faith and Reason”], speaks to cultural problems found far beyond the Church's boundaries. These problems revolve around a single, urgent question: Can human beings know the truth... READ MORE

In Rural Ireland, Church Much Stronger
IRISH TIMES, Nov. 5—A recent survey in Ireland found Mass attendance is still relatively high in the country—if you look outside the cities.

Whose Views?
As a Catholic who follows closely the teachings of the Catholic Church, I was very upset with a letter to the editor in the Oct. 21 Wall Street Journal, which likens the Pope to a “… famous old coach on a losing team.” It is signed by a Brett M. Decker, whom the Journal, in a feeble... READ MORE
Edith Stein’s Last Words
BY Romanus Cessario OP Perspective
November 08-14, 1998 Issue
Come, we are going for our people!” These are the last recorded words of Saint Teresia Benedicta of the Cross, known outside her Carmelite cloister as Edith Stein — words spoken before she died in the gas chamber that has come to symbolize the ultimate unreason of the twentieth century.
The words... READ MORE

New Age Pitfalls
I read with interest the interview with Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone (“‘Do-it-Yourself’ Salvation?,” Sept. 27-Oct. 3). While the interview focused on the writings of Father Anthony de Mello, Archbishop Bertone's comments rightly connected Father de Mello's works with the New Age... READ MORE

Life First
I was heartened to read about Cardinal O'Connor's recent speech to Catholic health professionals, in which he appropriately described partial-birth abortion as “a horror far beyond others” (“Cardinal Blasts Partial-Birth Abortion at Medical Congress,” Sept. 20–26 issue).
In the same week... READ MORE

I commend you for your balanced, insightful front page story on the Clinton crisis and thank you for providing faith-based parameters for examining the issues. There is a strong need for such anchors amid the sea of issues swirling in the secular arenas of our... READ MORE

Defending Private Ryan
I have read and re-read John Prizer's review of the film Saving Private Ryan (“World War II Meets the Hollywood Hype Machine,” Aug. 9-15).
It is hard to decide if Prizer wants to be cynical or fair in his critique of the film. I do know that if you had been in a line company... READ MORE
Mr. President, You’ve Done Enough
BY Joseph Esposito PERSPECTIVE
September 27-October 3, 1998 Issue
There is a temptation to call the travails of President Clinton a constitutional issue. In fact, we are experiencing a Clinton crisis which will undoubtedly have a powerful impact on our nation. It must be remembered, however, that an ill wind has been blowing from the White House for some time.... READ MORE

Inside Home-Schooling
Kudos for your well-written home-schooling article (“Home-Schooling Phenomenon Shows No Sign of Slowing,” Aug. 23-29). There are [more than] 60,000 Catholic families home-schooling and more than one million total American home-schoolers. Yet, this “phenomenon” is still unknown... READ MORE
Why Clinton Must Go
BY George Weigel PERSPECTIVE
September 20-26, 1998 Issue
The framers of the Constitution debated the question of presidential impeachment at length in 1787. Some said that the “national executive” should not be impeachable; his four-year term was short enough to ensure that presidents could be electorally dismissed before doing too much damage. But that... READ MORE

Mother Angelica: Two Thumbs Up!
I just started my subscription to your paper three to four weeks ago and I recommend it highly. I would like also to tell all Catholics in this nation that I also just had a box added to my cable TV and I can now get EWTN. It is great. Words can't describe how much... READ MORE
Lefebvre’s Undoing
August 30-September 5, 1998 Issue
I found the article on “New Latin Mass Orders Making Pa. Diocese a ‘Spiritual Powerhouse’” (Aug. 9-15) both informative and inspiring, in that the more traditional movement is creatively inspiring vocations at the same time that the new theology can only propose the non-Catholic notions of...

Congratulations on the issue of July 12-18, 1998. It's a wonderful boost to my sagging morale to see you take a firm stand on essential points. Your front page article by Mark Brumley, “Controversial Homosexuality Document Reissued with Revisions by U.S. Bishops” comes late, but no less welcome,... READ MORE
