Opinion

The Bavarian

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC

April 13-19, 2008 Issue

In this issue, we interview Brennan Pursell and review his new Benedict of Bavaria.

We’re excited about the book for two reasons. First, because it is published by Circle Press, the book publishing arm of the company that brings you the Register. It comes just in time to take advantage of... READ MORE

Catholic Consciences

I hope the sampling of critical letters in response to your editorial “McCain and Pro-Lifers” (March 2) didn’t reflect the sentiments of a majority of your readers. How disappointing!

I thought the article was wonderful — the best explanation I’ve seen of what a... READ MORE


Benedict Is Coming

BY The Editors

April 6-12, 2008 Issue

Pope Benedict XVI will soon arrive for his apostolic journey to the United States. The Register plans to make the most of the visit. Like any other papal visit, this one will follow a predictable arc of misrepresentation in the media, followed by surprise that the Pope is not identical to the... READ MORE


Awaiting Peter

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC

April 6-12, 2008 Issue

The upcoming visit of Pope Benedict XVI is becoming more real for us. Our writers and editors just received notice of their accreditation for different events — subject to screening by the secret service.

As a newspaper publisher, I look forward to a rare opportunity in the papal visit to... READ MORE

March 30-April 5, 2008 Issue

Personal God

Regarding Mark Shea’s article “Beyond Tribal Faith” (March 16):

Mark’s comments concern a mother at a loss to speak to her daughter meaningfully about God, or even about death. Mark intimates that the rattle of death is no mere flatulence: death, albeit definitively cracked... READ MORE


We’re Waiting, Barack

BY The Editors

March 30-April 5, 2008 Issue

We were waiting through Barack Obama’s rousing speech on racial equality to hear the bedrock principle of human rights on which racial equality depends. We were waiting to hear the revolutionary words of equality that were incorporated after the Second World War by the United Nations in... READ MORE


The Latest

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC

March 30-April 5, 2008 Issue

We have been telling you a lot about Pope2008.com recently. One reason we are talking about it so much is that it’s new, and therefore, exciting.

But another reason is that it is truly making an impact.

The immediacy of the Internet has allowed us to “break” several stories using... READ MORE

Faith-Driven Decision

Regarding “McCain and Pro-Lifers” (March 2):

Thank you for explaining why this election may require a negative vote. “Who do you vote against?” is the correct question.

The points supporting your conclusion regarding the pro-death Democratic candidates needed some... READ MORE


New Media

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC

March 23-29, 2008 Issue

The Register is a broadsheet newspaper, but recently, we’ve made some “new media” waves.

First, with Pope2008.com, the blog our senior writer Tim Drake is keeping before, during and after upcoming papal events.

Tim’s work has gotten a lot of notice — including a recent interview on... READ MORE


Easter In the Land of Martyrs

BY The Editors

March 23-29, 2008 Issue

Cardinal John Henry Newman, while still an Anglican priest, suggested two ways to renew the horror of the Crucifixion in your mind if you have grown cold to it. First, he suggested imagining a child in the place of Christ, being tortured and killed. We would feel the horror of it because children... READ MORE

Old Mass’ Appeal

Thank you so much for your article, Ite, Missa Est on the forma extraordinaria in your Feb. 17-23 issue.

However, I must point out one significant error in the article.

It should be noted that the Masses using the 1962 Missal at Saint Vincent are not sponsored by campus... READ MORE


Broadcasting Him

BY The Editors

March 16-22, 2008 Issue

The Holy Spirit had the Internet in mind at the Second Vatican Council. Undoubtedly he did, because, being God, he was not limited by time and space and in no position to be surprised. But, looking at the way the role of the laity was redefined, he certainly did.

Today’s dizzying array of new... READ MORE


This Week

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC

March 16-22, 2008 Issue

This issue marks an interesting milestone for the Register: In it we publish our first article that is entirely in verse; at least the first I’ve seen. It’s Steven D. Greydanus’ review of the new Dr. Seuss story at the movies: Horton Hears a Who.

The Register thus joins an unlikely trend in... READ MORE

Faulty Theology

Regarding “Romney’s Religion” (Dec. 16):

As an adult, I made the mistake of reading the book The Great Apostasy by James Talmage before I was sufficiently formed in the Catholic faith. I began to view Scripture through “Mormon glasses” and was closer to becoming Mormon... READ MORE


‘Fear Not, Little Flock’

BY The Editors

March 9-15, 2008 Issue

More than one in four American adults have left the faith in which they were brought up. So says exhaustive research from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, based on interviews with 35,000 Americans aged 18 and up.

The survey also found that Protestantism will soon lose its status as the... READ MORE


Newsmaking

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC

March 9-15, 2008 Issue

This issue of the Register is a good example of why readers get so enthusiastic about the newspaper.

One of our goals is to give you the information you need to address the issues of the day from a Catholic perspective. In this issue of the Register, you’ll find the second in a series of stories... READ MORE

Liturgical Abuse?

Having enjoyed the wonderful book Why Catholics Can’t Sing by Thomas Day (head of the music department at Salve Regina College in Rhode Island), I am usually sympathetic to Webster Young’s arguments. But when he claims the song “Keep in Mind’ is one of the “high points... READ MORE


McCain and Pro-Lifers

BY The Editors

March 2-8, 2008 Issue

John McCain hasn’t been very popular in some quarters. It seems that his party doesn’t like him nearly as much as Barack Obama and even Hillary Clinton are liked by their party. Conservative talk-show hosts have even complained loudly that they would vote for his opponent rather than... READ MORE


New at Circle Media

BY Father Owen Kearns, LC

March 2-8, 2008 Issue

We have a few important updates. First of all, our Pope2008.com is now available in a new-and-improved version. It’s a subsidiary of our regular website, NCRegister.com. On it, Tim Drake is keeping readers up to date about the Pope’s planned events in the months ahead. His visit to Washington,... READ MORE

Examining Our Priorities

Referring to the article, “Bishops Oppose Personhood Amendment” appearing in the Feb. 3 Register:

When the contents of this article were announced in the Georgia papers, many pro-life people were both disappointed and shocked. As a member of one of the most actively... READ MORE
