All this week, the Register is recalling the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Each day, we are featuring the recollections of an individual Catholic who was there or whose lives were impacted by the tragic events.

For those not on the scene but who had once worked there and knew some people in the World Trade Center, the events took on added meaning

Robert Astorino, former station manager/program director of the Catholic Channel on Sirius Satellite Radio, who now serves as Westchester County, N.Y., Executive, was by a television and watched the plane fly into World Trade Center.

The Cardinal Newman Society’s Center for the Advancement of Catholic Higher Education works to ensure that Catholic colleges are truly Catholic — which is needed now more than ever.

"We are at a better place than we were 18 years ago," said Patrick Reilly, president of the Cardinal Newman Society. "Today, Catholic educators freely acknowledge that something important has been lost, and they want to get it back. The center is doing the essential task of identifying what works in Catholic higher education and offering practical ways of renewing Catholic identity in the classroom and in campus life."

"Sadly, our culture has become toxic to Catholic identity," he added. "We can defend our...READ MORE

VATICAN CITY (EWTN News/CNA) — Correcting the behavior of those gone astray is an essential part of Christian life, said Pope Benedict XVI in his Sunday Angelus address Sept. 4.

“This approach is called fraternal correction: It is not a reaction to injury suffered, but is moved by love for one’s brother,” said the Pope to pilgrims gathered at his summer residence of Castel Gandolfo.

The Pope made his comments in the light of the Gospel in which Jesus suggests that “if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone.”

The text of the Gospel “tells us that brotherly love also involves a sense of mutual responsibility,” said the Pope, “so if my brother...READ MORE

DENVER — Philadelphia welcomes a new Church leader this week, and if Archbishop Charles Chaput remains true to form, his distinctive managerial style and commitment to the New Evangelization will have a strong impact on the City of Brotherly Love.

During his 14 years in Denver, Archbishop Chaput oversaw a slew of striking initiatives, including a thriving new seminary, a pastoral center for Hispanics and the establishment of the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (Focus).

Close collaborators say he encourages autonomy and even a measure of “risk-taking,” while maintaining a steady, probing engagement with senior staff.

“The Archdiocese of Denver has a reputation for being an...READ MORE
