Thanksgiving 2008
BY Father Owen Kearns, LC
November 23-29, 2008 Issue
This week we
celebrate Thanksgiving Day, a day which takes on special meaning after an
election. This year, as Americans battle in the political arena over the right
to life, it’s helpful to remember a time when America was battling — literally
— over the right to liberty.
In those days,... READ MORE

Bear the Cross
I received peace in knowing that our
next president may not champion Judeo-Christian values when I recalled the
Scripture “You will be persecuted” (Matthew 5:11 and John 15:20). As Catholics,
we are called to heaven, not to earth.
Our grandparents’ generation had the
privilege... READ MORE
The Pro-Life Majority
BY the Editors Hope for America 1
November 16-22, 2008 Issue
See the Hope for America Series:
1. The Pro-Life Majority
2. The Marriage Majority
3. The New Springtime of the Faith
It
may seem silly to talk about hope for a culture of life in the wake of the 2008
election. After all, the Register, along with the Catholic bishops, was adamant
about the... READ MORE
Vote for the Register
BY Father Owen Kearns, LC
November 16-22, 2008 Issue
There was a
lot of evidence that the mainstream media was very much in favor of one
candidate in the last election.
• A Project in Excellence in Journalism study found that media coverage of
John McCain was “heavily unfavorable” — more than three times as negative as
the portrayal of... READ MORE

Benedict, James and Trig
The Oct. 12 column “Down, Hero Dad
and Palin” reminded me of Pope Benedict’s visit last April.
Before Pope Benedict came to America
to celebrate Mass in New York and Washington, it was revealed that as a young
boy in Germany he had a cousin with Down syndrome. One... READ MORE
America, the New Rome
BY The Editors
November 9-15, 2008 Issue
We thought we
would be at a bit of a disadvantage for this issue of the Register, since we
had to send it to the printer the day before Election Day. That meant we needed
to finish the entire issue without knowing the winner of the election — or if
there is a winner by Nov. 9 at all.
Four years... READ MORE
Big News Week
BY Father Owen Kearns, LC
November 9-15, 2008 Issue
This is
usually a tough week for the Register — the biggest week for the secular news
every four years is the slowest news week for us. That’s because we go to press
on Monday night, and polls open on Tuesday morning for Election Day.
But this year is different for two
reasons. First, because... READ MORE

‘45 Million-Plus Issues’
“What Voter Are You?” was posed in
your Oct. 26 editorial. I know what kind I am. When I visited the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops’ website, I came across pro-life quotes from
Pope Benedict XVI, including this one: “God’s love does not... READ MORE
Election Day at Last
November 2-8, 2008 Issue
If you’re
like me, you’re grateful Election Day is here, above all, because we will
finally be done with the political season.
Our coverage of the presidential
race began in the first issue of 2007, when Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., a
Catholic convert, announced his candidacy in our pages.... READ MORE
Dear Pro-Choice Friends,
BY The Editors
November 2-8, 2008 Issue
If you’re
reading this at all, thank you. So many mass e-mails are unfair, unkind,
uninformed or all three. If the subject has anything to do with politics, the
right response is often to hit “delete.”
Thank you for not hitting “delete” —
so far. Let me reassure you that the rest is... READ MORE

Better Catholic Heroes
Relevant to the letter to the editor
“Catholic Hero? Not to Me” (Oct. 5): I completely agree with the author of
the letter! There are much better Catholic heroes than Hellboy.
More importantly, I am not a big fan
of the comic book and video game reviews. As far as video... READ MORE
What Kind of Voter Are You?
BY The Editors
October 26-November 1, 2008 Issue
The time
approaches when we must vote again. That means that pro-lifers are once again
receiving two pointed criticisms: “You shouldn’t be a single-issue voter” and
“What’s the point in voting pro-life when neither party is going to change the
legality of abortion, anyway?”
They are... READ MORE
Register Rising
BY Father Owen Kearns, LC
October 26-November 1, 2008 Issue
As the end of the year approaches, there’s a lot to
be excited about at the Register. We have been very proud of our coverage in
the past few months. We have brought you crucial information about how the
candidates see issues — the right to life, school choice, health care, torture
and other... READ MORE

Distinguishable
How can people fall into “Voter
Traps” (Oct. 5)? I remember when being Catholics meant we were supposed to
stand in unity for something, when we were a force for morality in society.
We stood against sexual laxity and
immodest clothing, against the contraceptive mentality that... READ MORE

The Audacity of FOCA
BY The Editors
October 19-25, 2008 Issue
As the
election quickly approaches, the U.S. bishops are shining a harsh spotlight on
one bill: the Freedom of Choice Act, commonly called FOCA. FOCA is again before
Congress; its chief sponsor in the Senate is Barbara Boxer and one of its
co-sponsors is presidential candidate Barack Obama.
In... READ MORE

Religion Test
Over the past few months, articles
in the Register have served as “puff pieces,” first for Sen. McCain, and later,
for the McCain-Palin ticket. Certainly, the view of Sen. Obama on life issues
is disturbing, but articles in the Register continue to imply that voters
should cast... READ MORE

Ronald Reagan
once said that you can get anything done in Washington, as long as you don’t
care who gets the credit. The converse is also true: You can solve any problem
more quickly if you don’t obsess over whose fault it is.
Too often when a crisis happens, the
first response is, “Whose... READ MORE

As a priest from the Diocese of
