Commentary
August 9-22, 2009 Issue
I have been writing for the Register for 20 years — and hope to make it 30 or 40 before I’m done. I will continue to write for the Register. Not, however, as its executive editor.
I have been offered, and have accepted, a position at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan. I will be the director of strategic... READ MORE

Benedict on Health Care
National Catholic Register Editorial
August 9-22, 2009 Issue

I have happy news — that’s also sad news.
I have been offered, and have accepted, a position at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan. My last day at the Register (as an editor) will be Aug. 7.

University of Alabama political scientist professor Michael New thinks so (in our news story on Dr. Benjamin).

In our “Guide to Sunday,” for Father’s Day, my wife and I ask: Why not celebrate the man you actually call “Father” — your priest?
In Faith & Family magazine, April shared priests’ four tips about what they want when laypeople have them over for dinner:
1. Be normal, and do what you normally do. (“The last thing a priest wants is an awkward, self-conscious evening where he feels like... READ MORE

The Culture of Life Foundation has issued a reply (here) to the Consortium of Jesuit Bioethics Programs on the question of whether or not food and water are extraordinary care.
The question was key in the case of Terri Schiavo, who was starved to death by court order. The Jesuit Consortium published its critique of Pope John Paul II’s position in Commonweal.
