Lord, Teach Us to Be Vulnerable
Editorial
March 23-29, 1997 Issue 
IT WASN'T PLANNED, but, in hindsight, the juxtaposition in this issue of coverage of the cloning controversy with the moving testimony of Mary Jane Owen, advocate for the mentally and physically handicapped, makes perfect sense. Surely, were the routine cloning of human beings ever to become a... READ MORE

‘Catholic’ Pro-Choicers
Peter Feuerherd's article (“Pro-lifers Still Reading Election Tea Leaves”) in the Dec. 22-28, 1996 Register extensively cites positions of Catholics for a Free Choice as if it is were a legitimate voice of Roman Catholics in the United States on the issue of abortion. The... READ MORE
The Culture of Life
BY JK EDITORIAL
January 19-25, 1997 Issue
BEGINNING the back page of this issue, the Register inaugurates a new feature, “the Culture of Life.” Therein, we will attempt to heed Pope John Paul II's call, issued most forcefully in Evangelium Vitae, to build up the “culture of life” as the paper chronicles the life of the Church and the...

For Once, Pro-Choicers Get Bashed at the Movies
BY John Prizer
January 19-25, 1997 Issue
A BORTION ON demand is one of the core values of our secular media class, so it's astonishing to find a theatrical feature like Citizen Ruth that aspires to treat the subject even-handedly. Most mass entertainment products are knee-jerk pro-choice.
Citizen Ruth's director Alexander Payne and... READ MORE

Tradition
All those involved in selecting the design for the cathedral of the third millennium (“A Cathedral for the Third Millennium,” Dec. 8-14), which scuttles 2,000 years of Catholic tradition and doctrine, should be forced to watch the film Fiddler on the Roof until they can sing the song... READ MORE

Responding to their critics, the editors of First Things featured the following statement in the January 1997 issue of the journal (excerpted).

New Year’s Resolution
BY LM Editorial
January 5, 1997 Issue
Certain rituals mark the arrival of every new year. Critics deliver their “best of” and “worst of” lists, appraising the previous year's films, books, television, theater, sporting events, and so on. These days, even websites come under the scrutiny of the pundits. A new year also marks the time... READ MORE

Spare me the bureaucracy, please (“At Long Last, Young Adults Get Serious Attention,” Nov. 10-16). I'm a married young adult Catholic approaching my mid-30s and have yet to wake up weeping because the Church isn't paying me enough attention. To be blunt about it, I assert that the problem with many... READ MORE

GOOD NEWS: Just before Christmas, Germany and the Czech Republic made some mutual amends. The Czechs apologized for the violent expulsion of Sudeten Germans at the end of World War II. Germany, for its part, expressed regret for its invasion of then-Czechoslovakia in 1938. An ugly chapter in... READ MORE

Father Coughlin
I was happy to see the recent letter defending Father Coughlin (see Letters, Nov. 17-23) after Gabriel Meyer had referred to him in an earlier article as a “pioneer of hate radio.” It is unjust.
Earlier this year, various members of the secular humanist establishment specifically... READ MORE

In a rare treat, the International Herald Tribune caught up recently with Brian Eno, the pioneer of electronic music and avant-garde rock. Mentor and collaborator of such heavyweights as David Bowie, John Cale, Talking Heads and U2, the 48-year-old wizard seems to have turned his back on... READ MORE

Contraception?
The article on a new natural family planning (NFP) device (“British Church Leaders Hail New NFP Device”) in the Nov. 10–16 issue of the Register leaves the reader under the erroneous impression (by distinguishing it from “other contraceptives”) that either some contraceptives are all... READ MORE

It is that time of year when the regular season is coming painfully close to the end for serious football fans, particularly if their team's playoff hopes are fading or gone. Small wonder.

Absolute Power
Edward Halpin's letter in the Nov. 3-9 Register contains an error regarding one of history's famous quotations. In his letter on Father Coughlin, Mr. Halpin quotes “Aeron” as the author of the words “power corrupts.” It may reflect my own ignorance but I find no reference to Mr.... READ MORE
