Our President
Wednesday, November 05, 2008 6:24 AM
P.S. (added at a reader’s request on Dec. 1): Please do explore the rest of this site, especially the Hot Topics links at the bottom of the home page. We are 100% pro-life and pro-marriage, and we spent the months before the election educating readers about Obama’s pro-abortion positions. My only point in this post, nearly a month ago, was that many pro-life voters voted for Obama and are excited... READ MORE

Laura Ingraham vs. Our President
Monday, November 24, 2008 11:45 AM
Apparently we hit the big time this morning. Laura Ingraham commented on my “Our President” blog post.
I missed it, but knowing Laura (from listening to her, anyway) I’ll bet it was good. And true. She must have been worried that the Register is being naive, not alert to the danger, and too accommodating.

Hope, American Style
Monday, November 24, 2008 4:47 PM
We’ve got the final installment in our hope-after-the-election series up, now. Our hope is an American hope, based on the fact that we live in a Democracy where it is still possible to change minds and, along with them, laws.
And, so you know, when we say hope, we don’t mean:
-- “Boy, we hope Obama won’t keep his promises on abortion.” He will.
-- “Boy, we hope it won’t be that bad, what he... READ MORE

Pro-Obama Register?
Monday, December 01, 2008 10:34 AM
If you are here because you read elsewhere that we are a scandalous newspaper (or that I am a scandalous newspaper editor) who has traded our Catholic heritage away in order to support Obama, there are a few things you should know.
1. It’s not true. (Links follow below) I have updated the original link to try to clarify it.
The very idea that the National Catholic Register would be pro-Obama... READ MORE

Readers Defend the Register
Tuesday, December 02, 2008 10:55 AM
Thanks for the kind words so many readers have sent to me after I published my e-mail address.
Wrote one woman, on behalf of her family:
“The Register is an oasis of truth in a desert of lies. I too hope readers will drink deeply and respond in life giving ways. Our family has great respect and gratitude for the clear voice of the Register, which helped us maintain sanity through this last... READ MORE

On Fearing the President
Saturday, December 06, 2008 1:00 PM
As promised, here’s our editorial on fear in the American context. — Tom Hoopes
