Laity & Priesthood

The REGISTER's excellent article on the new Instruction on Certain Questions Regarding the Collaboration of the Non-Ordained Faithful in the Sacred Ministry of Priests (“Role of Laity Spelled Out by Vatican,” Nov. 30-Dec. 6), neglected to mention the provision of the document... 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


The New Population Problem

BY Bishop James McHugh

Editorial

December 14-20, 1997 Issue For Subscribers Only

Recently population specialists from around the world met at the United Nations to discuss a new population problem: Has population control gone too far?

Demographers have been watching the decline in population growth rates during the past 20 years. The latest report, World Population Prospects:... READ MORE

Holocaust & Ethnic Cleansing

Reference your recent article on the Church's response to the Holocaust ("Anti-Semitism in Christian History Goes Under the Microscope,” Oct. 26-Nov. 1). Antonio Gaspari seems to have created the equivalent of a governmental White Paper: not quite convincing and... READ MORE

Christianity in America

The Special Assembly for America of the Synod of Bishops opened Sunday Nov. 16, with a Mass celebrated by Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Basilica. The Holy Father's homily (excerpted below) was based on the readings for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time and on the Synod's... READ MORE

Educational Deficiencies

The article, “Catholics Get Behind Education Vouchers and Savings Plans” (Nov. 9-16), pointed out the growing support for giving parents an alternative to the failing public school system. While vouchers and savings plans are sorely needed alternatives to public schools, in... READ MORE


Assisted Suicide: A Dark Answer

BY David Liptak

November 23-29,1997 Issue For Subscribers Only

The term “physician-assisted suicide” is really an absurd description, since collaborating in the act of suicide contradicts a physician's vocation and, in effect, represents a throwback to the dark ages of crude and superstitious paganism. Isn't this why the American Medical Association opposes... READ MORE

‘Green’ Catholics

I would like to make some comments in reference to your article titled “Despite Growing Environmental Threats, ‘Green’ Catholics Remain Few in Number” (Nov. 2-8). This article measures the activism of Catholics against the “environmental justice” movement only. I find this to be... READ MORE

China Watchers

Your article “China Watchers Divided on Religious Freedom Issue” by Tracy Early (Sept. 7-13) will give many readers a wrong impression that the religious persecution in China as debated by the Congress and reported by the media worldwide is “overdone,” does not “correspond with that... READ MORE


Blowin’ in the Wind

Editorial

October 12-18, 1997 Issue For Subscribers Only

Folk-rock icon Bob Dylan's performance for Pope John Paul II and hundreds of thousands of others at the recent Eucharistic Congress in Bologna, Italy, raised the hackles of some Catholic critics. In making their case against Dylan, some dug into the 56-year-old singer-songwriter's past and took... READ MORE

Shea's Way

Mark Shea's column in the Aug. 25 issue (ldquo;The Strengths and Weaknesses of ‘Called to be Catholic’”) was a blockbuster. Starting from my agreement with him that Chicago's Cardinal Joseph Bernardin's “Common Ground” plan was positive but unworkable, I found myself, after reading it a... READ MORE


Shame on This ‘Nation of Immigrants’

September 22, 1996 Issue For Subscribers Only

IMMIGRATION has become a hot political issue this election year. And just as politicians wanted to be “tough on crime” in 1992 and 1994, this year they want to be “tough on immigration” to better their chances of success at the polls.

We seem to have entered into one of those spasms of xenophobia... READ MORE

“Living Stones”

Turn Off the Image

EDITORIAL

August 24-30, 1997 Issue For Subscribers Only

Pundits often lament that in recent years we've become an “entertainment culture” obsessed with celebrity. It seems to be an obsession without limit. As John Prizer writes in his review of Air Force One (see page 7), we have even begun to measure our presidents by their pop celebrity appeal as well... READ MORE

Disney's Revisionism

When “Catholics Assess [the] Baptist Disney Boycott” (July 20-26), they should keep in mind the success that anti-Christian groups have had in turning the Magic Kingdom into an anti-Christian propaganda machine.

Disney's “adult” productions, such as the movie Priest and TV... READ MORE

Moving Words

After reading your March 16-22 edition, I wanted to take a moment to respond to the homily section, “Next Sunday at Mass: Passion Sunday,” by Peter John Cameron OP. Two of Father Cameron's statements touched me more deeply than anything I have read for a long time. The lines are as... READ MORE

The Narrow Gate

“IF THEN YOU were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Think of what is above, not what is on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Col 3, 1-4). Such was the magnificent reading Easter morning. This... READ MORE


Pro-Choice Thinking

April 06, 1997 Issue For Subscribers Only

I agree with Robert Brennan (“Shields's Abortion Stand,” Letters, Feb. 15-22) that Mark Shields's allegedly pro-life stance is inconsistent and hollow. I also sympathize with his difficulty in understanding “what a person meant who said he or she was ‘pro-choice’ yet hated abortion.” However, we... READ MORE


Dialogue in the Church

April 06, 1997 Issue For Subscribers Only

The teachings of the Church are plain from tradition, the documents of the councils, the papal statements and the Catechism. Thus much of what dialogue might accomplish by way of explanation is not an issue. Distinguished editors of “catholic” publications are too well educated to have gaps in... READ MORE
