New Media

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC

March 23-29, 2008 Issue

The Register is a broadsheet newspaper, but recently, we’ve made some “new media” waves.

First, with Pope2008.com, the blog our senior writer Tim Drake is keeping before, during and after upcoming papal events.

Tim’s work has gotten a lot of notice — including a recent interview on... READ MORE

Easter In the Land of Martyrs

BY The Editors

March 23-29, 2008 Issue

Cardinal John Henry Newman, while still an Anglican priest, suggested two ways to renew the horror of the Crucifixion in your mind if you have grown cold to it. First, he suggested imagining a child in the place of Christ, being tortured and killed. We would feel the horror of it because children... READ MORE

March 16-22, 2008 Issue

Thank you so much for your article, Ite, Missa Est on the forma extraordinaria in your Feb. 17-23 issue.

However, I must point out one significant error in the article.

It should be noted that the Masses using the 1962 Missal at Saint Vincent are not sponsored by campus... READ MORE

Broadcasting Him

BY The Editors

March 16-22, 2008 Issue

The Holy Spirit had the Internet in mind at the Second Vatican Council. Undoubtedly he did, because, being God, he was not limited by time and space and in no position to be surprised. But, looking at the way the role of the laity was redefined, he certainly did.

Today’s dizzying array of new... READ MORE

This Week

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC

March 16-22, 2008 Issue

This issue marks an interesting milestone for the Register: In it we publish our first article that is entirely in verse; at least the first I’ve seen. It’s Steven D. Greydanus’ review of the new Dr. Seuss story at the movies: Horton Hears a Who.

The Register thus joins an unlikely trend in... READ MORE

March 9-15, 2008 Issue

Regarding “Romney’s Religion” (Dec. 16):

As an adult, I made the mistake of reading the book The Great Apostasy by James Talmage before I was sufficiently formed in the Catholic faith. I began to view Scripture through “Mormon glasses” and was closer to becoming Mormon... READ MORE

‘Fear Not, Little Flock’

BY The Editors

March 9-15, 2008 Issue

More than one in four American adults have left the faith in which they were brought up. So says exhaustive research from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, based on interviews with 35,000 Americans aged 18 and up.

The survey also found that Protestantism will soon lose its status as the... READ MORE

Newsmaking

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC

March 9-15, 2008 Issue

This issue of the Register is a good example of why readers get so enthusiastic about the newspaper.

One of our goals is to give you the information you need to address the issues of the day from a Catholic perspective. In this issue of the Register, you’ll find the second in a series of stories... READ MORE

Letters 03.02.2008

March 2-8, 2008 Issue

Having enjoyed the wonderful book Why Catholics Can’t Sing by Thomas Day (head of the music department at Salve Regina College in Rhode Island), I am usually sympathetic to Webster Young’s arguments. But when he claims the song “Keep in Mind’ is one of the “high points... READ MORE

McCain and Pro-Lifers

BY The Editors

March 2-8, 2008 Issue

John McCain hasn’t been very popular in some quarters. It seems that his party doesn’t like him nearly as much as Barack Obama and even Hillary Clinton are liked by their party. Conservative talk-show hosts have even complained loudly that they would vote for his opponent rather than... READ MORE

Examining Our Priorities

Referring to the article, “Bishops Oppose Personhood Amendment” appearing in the Feb. 3 Register:

When the contents of this article were announced in the Georgia papers, many pro-life people were both disappointed and shocked. As a member of one of the most actively... READ MORE

The Year of Benedict

BY The Editors

February 24-March 1, 2008 Issue

What will 2008 be known for? Predictions are already being made. Some say it will be remembered as the year a new set of modern-day baseball heroes fell. A better bet says it will be known as the year Barack Obama galvanized the Democratic Party around a new leader.

But we know that another figure... READ MORE

This Week

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC

February 24-March 1, 2008 Issue

We’re all excited about the Register’s new website, Pope2008.com, which we will be using to give readers up-to-the-minute reports about the Pope’s visit to America.

When Tim Drake went to Cologne, Germany, for Pope Benedict XVI’s first World Youth Day, he kept readers informed via a blog he... READ MORE

February 17-23, 2008 Issue

First, congrats on the new website. It’s a million times nicer than the old one.

Second, I would recommend making all online content open-access. Many websites were initially catering to subscribers only: The Economist and The New York Times websites were this way, though both... READ MORE

The Media of Relativism

BY The Editors

February 17-23, 2008 Issue

Pope Benedict XVI sent a message to Catholics who watch TV or movies, or read periodicals that’s in a line with his warning about the “dictatorship of relativism.” In his World Communications Day address, he spoke about finding the truth in the media.

The Communications Day theme this year... READ MORE

Plans and Purposes

BY Father Owen Kearns. LC

February 17-23, 2008 Issue

We’re grateful for some excellent work from our writers this week. In our day and age, we too often see the private pain of individuals made a public spectacle, but two writers in this issue have done a marvelous job of making their personal painful experiences helpful to others.

One is Keith... READ MORE

February 10-16, 2008 Issue

Thanks for the great article, “Super Tuesday Picks” (Feb. 3):

As a Catholic, I think it is good to see that someone like Ron Paul consistently stands up for the issues he believes in.

At the same time, he brings people together because he does not preach values, he... READ MORE

Our Lady of Hope

BY The Editors

February 10-16, 2008 Issue

The year 2008 is turning out to be a year of the unexpected. From the mundane to the serious, the typical has given way to the extraordinary. In the entertainment world, the normally dull Super Bowl game for once outshined the commercials that accompany it. In politics, the primary season has been... READ MORE

Christian Legacy

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC

February 10-16, 2008 Issue

This edition of the Register goes to press as the Legionaries of Christ, the religious congregation to which I belong, spend several days in prayer following the passing of our founder, Father Marcial Maciel.

Actually, we haven’t spent the days in prayer only. We have also been busy in our... READ MORE
