America Is Great Because …
BY The Editors
June 29 - July 5, 2008 Issue
The Fourth of July is more than just a government
holiday meant to promote love for country. It is certainly that, but it’s not
just Americans who have cause to celebrate on July 4.
The
date commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which, with
the Constitution that was built... READ MORE

Komen’s Offensive Stance
Regarding “With Eyes Open,” (April
20):
People would be outraged if the
American Lung Association gave funds to the Philip Morris tobacco company for
lung cancer screening. It’s equally offensive that Komen gave more than
$711,000 to Planned Parenthood in 2007... READ MORE
The Prayer Rebellion
BY The Editors
June 22-28, 2008 Issue
For the past
several years, a quiet rebellion has taken place at graduation ceremonies.
Students have been voicing prayers against the wishes of the school. The
rebellion was dealt a harsh blow in the year 2000, when a pre-Roberts and Alito
Supreme Court decided that it was unconstitutional for... READ MORE
Tim Russert, RIP
BY Father Owen Kearns, LC
June 22-28, 2008 Issue
“I hope
the Register will give us an overview of who Tim Russert really is,” wrote
a reader. He was suspicious of all the adulation being heaped on him.
God
alone knows the faith of any of us, but our staff did find a few interesting
facts about this Catholic journalist.
Just
as interesting as... READ MORE

Troubling Commentary
In the March 30 editor’s note
responding to Debi Vinnedge’s comments on voting for McCain even though he
supports human embryonic stem-cell research, you repeat a statement from a
previous Register commentary that I find extremely troubling.
In listing the reasons why... READ MORE

Narnia Negativity
Regarding “Lewis Lite” (May 18):
I am disappointed that the Register
has published such a negative article.
I disagree with it for various
reasons:
1. “The filmmakers eviscerate the
crucial theme of skepticism about the existence of Aslan.”
This is not entirely true.... READ MORE
The Lay Scandal
BY The Editors
June 15-21, 2008 Issue
According to
conventional wisdom, the biggest sexual-abuse scandal of our time is clergy
abuse. Those who have studied it will add, “And it wasn’t just the relatively
small percentage of abusers that was the problem. It was the bishops who did
nothing to stop it.”
As Pope
Benedict XVI... READ MORE

Kelly Should Be Ashamed
You are most likely getting a lot of
letters disagreeing with John Kelly’s “DNC Response: Democrats Are People of
Faith,” (May 25). So I will comment on only his third paragraph where he
states, “The core values of the Democratic Party are in line with key... READ MORE
Voting Marriage
BY The Editors
June 8-14, 2008 Issue
Same-sex
“marriage” is fast becoming a key election issue now that California’s Supreme
Court has imposed it there, and New York decided to recognize other states’
same-sex “marriages.”
In this issue of the Register, we
continue to bring you valuable information to disseminate in the... READ MORE

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC
June 8-14, 2008 Issue
I’ve been blessed to travel the country a little bit
this spring, and I’ve met many Register readers. Many are very concerned with
the future of the country, particularly with regard to the issues of abortion
and marriage.
The Register provides an invaluable
tool for following both these... READ MORE

Clergy Abuse: The Third Level
June 1-7, 2008 Issue
Catholic News Service reports that, on April 8, before his
visit to the United States, Pope Benedict XVI issued a clarification about
homosexuals in seminaries. It’s important background to what he said on April

He
said of the abuse crisis,... READ MORE
This Week
BY Father Owen Kearns Prepare for November
June 1-7, 2008 Issue
We keep hearing at the Register from people who feel a sense of impending doom about the November
elections.
As
our front-page story shows, there is a national battle over the definition of
marriage that has reached a new critical point. Meanwhile, imminent Supreme
Court retirements could mean that... READ MORE
This Week
BY FATHER OWEN KEARNS, LC
May 25-31, 2008 Issue
This week was filled with upheavals. In Myanmar after the
cyclone, the government sought to bar aid workers, and the pressure prevented
our reporter from publishing his name. In China after the earthquake, Chinas
government accepted foreign aid for the first time since the 1940s.
In California,... READ MORE

Editorial
May 25-31, 2008 Issue
Out of compassion and a desire for fairness, many Americans
want to give homosexual couples the ability to marry. The California Supreme
Court’s decision to override voters doesn’t seem so bad to many people. After
all, some homosexual couples care for each other in long-term commitments.... READ MORE

Steubenville, Ohio, Thomas Aquinas College and The Catholic University of
America, to the Holy Father’s address to Catholic college and... READ MORE
Obama vs. The Right to Life
BY The Editors
May 18-24, 2008 Issue
It’s important for Americans to know exactly where Barack
Obama stands on abortion, because abortion is more than just a
"Catholic issue." It's one of the fundamental issues
Americans should be most concerned about.
The United States was founded on the rights to “life, liberty
and the pursuit... READ MORE

Political Bitterness
Regarding the letter “Not a McCain Fan” (April 15), John
McCain did not say, or even intimate, that he wants to continue war for the
next 20 years in the Middle East. He merely recognized, as any thoughtful
person should, that it may be expedient to maintain a presence... READ MORE
Pentecost Program For America
BY The Editors
May 11-17, 2008 Issue
The Church in the United States celebrated Pentecost early
this year. The Mass Pope Benedict XVI said at Nationals Stadium in Washington,
D.C., was identical to the Mass the Church celebrates on Pentecost Sunday,
except that the second reading was changed.
It was as if the Holy Father was so eager... READ MORE
