Register readers have seen story after story about the debate over the identity of Catholic colleges.
The terms surrounding the debate can be confusing at times — Canon 812, mandates, Title XII — but the issue is one of the most important for the Church in American society.
It's not hard to... READ MORE

Pius XII
God bless Dr. Eugene Fisher for defending Pope Pius XII against the most recent attack on his World War II actions regarding Hitler and the Jewish people (“Rabbi's Condemnation of Pope Pius XII Criticized” May 30-June 5).
Rabbi Marvin Hier claims that the mere notion of canonizing Pope... READ MORE

Northern High School in Calvert County, Md., has been known locally for years as a place where prayer was allowed at graduation ceremonies. But that was before Nick Becker became a student there.
Now it is known nationally as a place where students champion their right to pray.
Becker, now 18, was... READ MORE

Bishop? Ordination?
I have various questions regarding your inclusion of an article on Sinead O'Connor's “ordination” by Bishop Michael Cox.
Why is Michael Cox referred to as Bishop? I understand that one can't undo the sacraments. No one can be unbaptized or unordained. But, if he is not in... READ MORE

The century of older persons
It is ironic that the United Nations has named 1999 the International Year of Older Persons. U.N. Population Fund efforts around the world threaten to make the entire 21st century a “century of older persons.”
Five years ago in Cairo, the United Nations adopted a plan... READ MORE

Culture of Violence
Everyone seems to be horrified by the recent, tragic violence in Colorado! Everyone searches and asks why this happened.
I've read and heard various causes: violence on TV, in movies, on the Internet, in music, and media in general; more dangerous weapons today; children come... READ MORE

Prophetic Encyclical for the Balkans
It was a “stormy period” in the Balkans, “marked by armed conflicts between” neighboring peoples. In Eastern Europe, divisions were mounting between the faith of the West and of the East.

Holy Land Peace
In your CNS story, “Latin-Rite Patriarch Urges Palestinian Freedom & Blames Israel” (April 19-25), we see that Patriarch Michel Sabbah of Jerusalem apparently subscribes to the silver bullet theory of intercultural conflict resolution. The prelate is reported as having declared,... READ MORE

Y2K — J2K
I would like to respond to a few points in Kelly Bowring's article “Jan. 1, 2000: Apocalypse or Springtime of the Faith?” (Register, April 4-10).
Firstly, the article quotes well-known Y2K expert Peter de Jager, who has recently expressed the opinion that the dangers posed by the... READ MORE

Signs of Spring
The signs of spring are everywhere at this time of year. So are the signs of a springtime of the faith — signs so clear that even secular newspapers are speaking up.
“Area Catholics Flock Back to Church,” says one headline. “Many Return to the Fold,” says another.
And then, there is... READ MORE

Death Penalty
As expected, your editorial, Opposing the Death of the Guilty (March 7-13), supports abolition of capital punishment.
Nevertheless, it is refreshing to hear a voice for church loyalty and orthodoxy state that some call for capital punishment for “commendable motives and not simply... READ MORE

Cardinal Bevilacqua on War
PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS, April 5—At the beginning, those who called for peace in Kosovo were considered unrealistic. Philadelphia Cardinal Archbishop Anthony Bevilacqua was one of them. Were they right?

The sources for your front page article “Academic Institute to Sidestep Bishops” (March 28-April 3, 1999) may have been less than well informed themselves. The title of the article is misleading because it suggests evasion or opposition to the bishops, which is contrary to the... READ MORE

The Land of Mother Teresa and Milosevic
April 11-17, 1999 Issue
The 20th century seems destined to end as it began: with a powder-keg of fighting exploding in the Balkans. Pope John Paul II has pledged to do all in his power to prevent that from happening.
It will be difficult. Fighting in Kosovo is nothing new. Similar oppression of ethnic Albanians by... READ MORE
