Colleges and Abortion
I am a recent Notre Dame alumna and
I would like to express my concern regarding “Ten Catholic Colleges That
Promote Abortion” (Register’s Daily Blog, June 16). I am a very conservative
Catholic, and I am appalled that the university would recommend an internship
with... READ MORE
What Universities Do
BY The Editors
July 12-25, 2009 Issue
Dormitories
are empty. Campuses are only partly busy, with summer events and special
programs. Faculties are busy preparing for fall — or, truth be told, not so
very busy. It’s the off-season at one of the most important places on earth:
the university.
Not that universities should... READ MORE

Thanking Priests
I searched for an appropriate “thank
you” line to include in my note for an associate pastor’s 25th anniversary
Mass. This was the first time I’ve visited the NCRegister.com site,
and I’m so glad I did. The editors’ “Thank you, Father” (June 14)
is a beautiful and... READ MORE
Home-School Reasons
BY The Editors
June 28-July 11, 2009 Issue
At a recent
home-schooling convention in Massachusetts, Thomas More College’s new
president, William Fahey, gave a talk that one blogger compared to a grenade.
Home schooling puts an almost unmanageable strain on mothers, he said.
Home-schooling mothers are expected
to be several things at once:... READ MORE
Nowhere Else
BY Father Owen Kearns, LC
June 28-July 11, 2009 Issue
This issue of
the Register would serve as a good introduction to the mission of our
publication.
First, secular news from a Catholic
perspective. We cover a topic I haven’t seen anywhere else: the White House’s
neglect of religious freedom issues. And the rise in home schooling has been
covered... READ MORE

30 Years for Life
Cathy Lynn Grossman’s blog for USA
Today on common ground (“What Common Ground?” Register’s Daily Blog,
May 31) is just another attempt to paint the pro-lifers as extremists unwilling
to engage in efforts to reduce abortions. Pro-lifers are stuck with our cold
hearts and... READ MORE
Summer Slowdown
BY Father Owen Kearns, LC
June 21-27, 2009 Issue
June 21 is
the first day of summer, and the inevitable slowing down has begun. School has
ended in most places. Families have fewer commitments, vacation schedules are
beginning, and the Register is slowing down, too.
Next week, the Register will come as
usual, but we’re planning ways to make it... READ MORE
Obama, Bush and Muslims
BY The Editors
June 21-27, 2009 Issue
Obama’s
speech to Muslims at Cairo’s Al-Azhar University was very good and very needed.
It was a version of Bush’s speeches to the same audience. But did it truly
address the reality of the Muslim world?
Obama said some genuinely helpful
things. He promoted democratic ideals in the Middle... READ MORE

‘Answering’ Logic
Regarding “Answering Notre Dame”
(May 31): Excellent editorial! Thanks for giving us the logical arguments we
need to evangelize those pro-choice people we all know. Many of them are
mesmerized by President Obama’s charismatic words and demeanor and can’t see
the... READ MORE
Year of the Priest
BY Father Owen Kearns, LC
June 14-20, 2009 Issue
Pope Benedict XVI will inaugurate a special Year of
the Priest starting on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Register
plans to help equip readers to properly appreciate it.
We do so in this issue with several
stories about trends in the priesthood, challenges of priests, and... READ MORE
Thank You, Father
BY The Editors
June 14-20, 2009 Issue
As the Year
for Priests begins, we lay editors of the Register want to take a moment to
thank priests.
We want to thank not only the
priests who have been our friends, but also those we barely knew, who did more
for us than our friends ever could.
We want to thank not only the
priests who inspire... READ MORE

Invaluable Register
Rosemary and I were so pleased by the cordial reception at your office. It was a
pilgrimage for us; your invaluable Register had been discovered only a
year earlier at St. Joseph’s in Woods Hole, Mass. (We now leave copies in
various churches, etc.)
The enclosed is our... READ MORE
2 Supreme Questions
BY The Editors
June 7-13, 2009 Issue
There are two
questions Catholics are asking about Judge Sonia Sotomayor, Barack Obama’s pick
for the U.S. Supreme Court.
1. Is she
Catholic?
2. Is she pro-life?
On the ubiquitous social-networking
website Facebook, members say they are “in a relationship” “not in a
relationship” or... READ MORE
Big Summer News
BY Father Owen Kearns, LC
June 7-13, 2009 Issue
It doesn’t
look like the news will slow down this summer. Judge Sonia Sotomayor has been
nominated as a new Supreme Court justice. Miguel Díaz of St. John’s University
and the College of Saint Benedict in Collegeville, Minn., has been nominated to
be Vatican ambassador.
Of the two positions,... READ MORE
Celebrating Books
BY Father Owen Kearns, LC
May 31-June 6, 2009 Issue
I love books and am grateful to have a part in
Circle Media's own Circle Press. To borrow words from the computer world, books
are the most durable, portable, navigable ways to experience a work — and there
is never any connectivity problem.
Our celebration of books starts on
page one with Tim... READ MORE

'Choice' Noise
Regarding "Deadly Spin" (May 24): It is still surprising to me after 40-plus years in the
nursing profession to hear noise about a woman's "choice" regarding an early
end to her pregnancy.
The
National Geographic Channel's "In the Womb" series is so spectacular,
especially with... READ MORE
Answering Notre Dame
BY The Editors
May 31-June 6, 2009 Issue
May 17 was a
frustrating day for pro-lifers. Listening to Father John Jenkins, president of
the University of Notre Dame, and Barack Obama, president of the United States,
pro-lifers felt the urge to argue with what was being said. But there was no
opportunity to argue.
This is precisely why... READ MORE
Pilgrim of Peace
BY Father Owen Kearns, LC
May 24-30, 2009 Issue
We had a
phrase in Ireland: "It's all over, bar the shouting." Pope Benedict XVI's true
words in the Holy Land will long outlast the shouting over them.
The Register has been reporting
those words, especially on our website, honoring what he said, not comparing
and contrasting every word to what he... READ MORE

Emma's Witness
Can I tell you how excited I am to
see "Emma, the Pope and the President" (May 3) on the front page? One big
reason is that I am a nurse, and I took care of little Emma shortly after she
was born and when she was beginning her brave walk with heart surgeries. I
remember the family... READ MORE
10 Signs of Hope
BY The Editors
May 24-30, 2009 Issue
These
are disheartening times for Catholics. It is a helpful time to review some of
the strong signs of hope in the Church today — signs of hope that simply
weren't here 20, or even 10 years ago.
1. New Catholic Colleges.
The past 10 years have seen seven
new American Catholic colleges founded in... READ MORE
