The Real Population Crisis
June 14-20, 1998 Issue 
There is a population crisis at the end of the 20th century. It's just not the one you've been hearing about.
Two recent reports, one from the United Nations and the other by France's National Institute of Demographic Studies, tell a dramatic, disturbing story:
• There are 185 countries in the... READ MORE

Illinois Governor Candidates
I am writing in reference to your recent article about the governor's race in the state of Illinois between U.S. Rep. Glenn Poshard and Secretary of State George Ryan ("When Life's at Stake, Even Hard-Line Republicans Can Vote Democrat,” May 10-16). You omitted some... READ MORE

Bennett's Honor
I read your book review of William J. Bennett's Our Sacred Honor ("Help for Politicians in Need of Moral Mettle,” March 1—7). The review brought to mind a discussion Bennett once had with a group of pro—life leaders wherein he roundly castigated those of us who believe that there... READ MORE

A Tainted ‘Gift’ to the Third World
A high-stakes game of “chicken” is being played out between congressional leadership—committed to restore the Mexico City Policy—and President Clinton, who overturned that policy in January 1993. The policy would deny family-planning funds to international... READ MORE

Orthodoxy's Appeal
I think it is ironic that in the same issue, articles about catechetical reform and Dr. Janet Smith (“Saving Matrimony Before It Starts,” March 1-7) would appear. I have spent this year teaching 12thgrade religious education (CCD), and have found the curriculum materials... READ MORE
Palestinian Problems
March 15-21, 1998 Issue
The article, “Theology Meeting in Bethlehem ‘Outraged’ at Oppression of Palestinians” (March 1-7), relates that the Liberation Theology Conference statement of Feb. 14 blames the suffering of the Palestinian Arabs on “the Israeli occupation.” The statement also implies that Israel is responsible...

Three cheers to Mark Brumley for his review “The Myth of Rescue: Why the Democracies Could Not Have Saved More Jews From the Nazis” (Feb. 15-21).
This was the first intelligent and convincing argument I have seen to counter the fanciful theories advanced by modern-day revisionists.
The Allies,... READ MORE

Genetic Testing: A Mixed Blessing?
BY Bishop James McHugh PERSPECTIVE
February 08-14, 1998 Issue
A recent USA Today article reported that doctors can now test for 450 genetic diseases. This means that a couple can find out if one or both are carriers of a defective gene that will effect their offspring. Through prenatal diagnosis, a pregnant woman or her preborn child may be tested to see if... READ MORE

Popes and Anti-Semitism
“John Paul II Calls Anti-Semitism an ‘Offense Against God’” (Nov. 16-22) was a fine article, but contained a factual error.
The statement that Pope Pius XI was the first Pope to condemn anti-Semitism is clearly false. Pope Gregory the Great, who reigned from 590 AD to 604... READ MORE

The 20th century will not end without one more anniversary to remind us that this era of extraordinary progress is also darkened by the shadows of unimaginable tragedy. Jan. 22, 1998, marks the 25th anniversary of our Supreme Court's rulings in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Because of those... READ MORE

It's the media variant on bait-and-switch advertising. First, you caricature a controversial personality. Then, when the evidence becomes overwhelming that the caricature is false, you announce with due solemnity that the person in question has “changed.” Being the Fourth Estate... READ MORE

Role of the Laity
The article “Role of Laity Spelled Out By Vatican” on the front page of the Nov. 30—Dec. 6 issue of the Register disappointed me. The document it discusses is an “Instruction” on liturgical norms, but parts of the article imply that the Vatican is placing limits on any sort of... READ MORE
