Moscow Martyr's Real Death-place
Thank you for your front page coverage of the book Sentenced as Vatican Spies (Jan. 3-9). It is wonderful to see a sign that the silence which surrounds the sufferings of these martyrs to the Catholic faith in our own time might end. Ours was indeed a time worse... READ MORE
Eliminating the Poor
February 28-March 6, 1999 Issue
The U.N. Population Forum in The Hague ended Feb. 12 with little media fanfare. Next will come a concluding document from the Forum which will advocate abortion and sterilization as a “solution” to poverty, and confer the prestige of the U.N. on the latest definitions of “family.” Ideas concocted...

Opening Doors to Jehovah's Witnesses
Regarding “Ohio Village Closes Door To Jehovah's Witnesses” in the Jan. 3-9 edition, I wish to challenge most strongly Mayor Arthur Baldwin's position that the Witnesses be given door-to-door access in Waite Hill because they are “good people.” As a convert to... READ MORE
PERSPECTIVE
BY Tom Hoopes Why Cheer the Pope?
January 31 - February 6, 1999 Issue
Perhaps, just this once, we can excuse television commentators and the secular press for misstating the importance and meaning of Pope John Paul II's visit to St. Louis. After all, many Catholics will misunderstand it, too.
Of course, the media ought not do what they do. They see a gracious visit... READ MORE

Defending Luther
Iprotest, in the strongest possible manner, the article “Do-it-Yourself Churches Won't Get You the Truth,” from the pen of Karl Keating.

A Tough Year Ahead
Here in Gomorrah-on-the-Potomac, the common wisdom is that the new Congress will not do much of anything in 1999, being paralyzed by the razor-thin Republican margin in the House of Representatives. Strangely, the new House leadership seems content with this sense of lassitude.... READ MORE

On July 1, 1899, three Christian commercial travelers met at the Janesville, Wisconsin Y.M.C.A. to form an evangelical association.

Did You Ever Notice.…
So Andy Rooney has passed judgment on the present Pontiff (“Notes and Quotes,” Nov. 15-Nov. 22). The jury is in; he is not a great Pope. If we examine one of Rooney's comments, we can see where he is coming from.
