Cleansing
IT WAS MERELY curious at first that Germans got so upset about Scientology and took the movement, which counts the likes of Tom Cruise and John Travolta among its adherents, to court. But, as Richard Cohen noted in The Washington Post, concern about a cult-like organization that puts a... READ MORE

Forgiveness
St. Maria Goretti, martyred for her purity, forgave her murderer before she died, and appeared to him from heaven while he was in prison telling him he would be in heaven with her too. Pope John Paul II went to prison to forgive his assailant as well. Michael Ross, no. 127404, death row... READ MORE
The Cardinal
BY AJK EDITORIAL
November 24, 1996 Issue
Much sooner than anyone expected, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin has died. His legacy will undoubtedly be the subject of lively debate for years to come. Even as he lay dying, he inspired contradictory sentiments, admiration and love, as well as bitterness. What was the nature of the cardinal's genius?... READ MORE

Ethiopians
The Oct. 27 article on Ethiopian Christians (“Queen of Sheba's Visit to King Solomon Sparked Centuries of Pilgrimage to Jerusalem”) claims that they “do not believe in the Trinity.”This is untrue. When we read that comment to a friend, a Coptic Catholic, he confirmed that the Ethiopian... READ MORE

November 10-16, 1996 Issue
READERS MAY still wonder at our reflections on literature, rare as they are. It's subject matter rarely dealt with in the mainstream Catholic press. The Register was pleased to present Dr. Ralph McInerny's series on 20th century Catholic authors, as well as Jesuit Father John McIntyre's meditations... READ MORE

Death Row
My name is Michael Ross. I am a condemned man on Connecticut's death row. When most people think of death row inmates, I'm the one that they think of. I'm the worst of the worst, a man who has raped and murdered eight women, assaulted several others, and stalked and frightened many more.... READ MORE
Bridge to the 21st Century
November 3-9, 1996 Issue
IN A VARIATION on Plato's famous line on philosophers and kings one could argue that Catholic prelates, too, should be men of ideas. Maybe that is not fair to the dynamic, hands-on men who lead the Church in the United States and are putting ideas into action. Nevertheless, a New York audience late... READ MORE

Root Cause
We generally find something worth cutting out and saving from the Register. Your Sept. 1 editorial (“Dialogue and Common Ground, or Truth and Unity?") is an example. We agree with your thesis wholeheartedly and we submit what, in our humble opinion, is at the root of our demoralization.

Who Cares?
I noted the somewhat negative review of my book, The Saints Show Us Christ (“Role Models and Friends in Heaven,” May 12), in your pages. Unfortunately the reviewer missed the whole point. The book is not for monks and scholars, but the people in the pews. Imagine him counting the number... READ MORE

EDITORIAL
September 1, 1996 Issue
AMONG CHRIST'S PARTING WORDS to His disciples and “those who will believe in me through their word” is His solemn wish that “they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me” (Jn 17, 20-21).
If we want to follow... READ MORE

I want to thank you for publishing Father Peter Liuzzi's review of Homosexuality-Catholic Teaching and Pastoral Practice by Father Gerald Coleman, S.S. (May 12). The reviewer identifies extremists who, on the one side, only condemn homosexuality and, on the other side, who only see it... READ MORE

REAL PRESENCE
Apparently some pastors and at least one bishop believe it so important to change the “posture” of the laity during Mass they will break the law of the Church to accomplish it.
As I understand it, the general norm is to kneel for the consecration. In the United States, it has been our... READ MORE
Good Things Are Happening Everywhere

NOT THAT there are no bad things, but that there are plenty of good things, too. More and more all the time it seems.
A great many of them are layinspired or lay-guided. Lay people are realizing they don't have to accept things as they are. If there is no trustworthy Catholic school around for me... READ MORE
