Moving Words
After reading your March 16-22 edition, I wanted to take a moment to respond to the homily section, “Next Sunday at Mass: Passion Sunday,” by Peter John Cameron OP. Two of Father Cameron's statements touched me more deeply than anything I have read for a long time. The lines are as... READ MORE

The Narrow Gate
“IF THEN YOU were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Think of what is above, not what is on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Col 3, 1-4). Such was the magnificent reading Easter morning. This... READ MORE
Pro-Choice Thinking
April 06, 1997 Issue
I agree with Robert Brennan (“Shields's Abortion Stand,” Letters, Feb. 15-22) that Mark Shields's allegedly pro-life stance is inconsistent and hollow. I also sympathize with his difficulty in understanding “what a person meant who said he or she was ‘pro-choice’ yet hated abortion.” However, we... READ MORE
Dialogue in the Church
April 06, 1997 Issue
The teachings of the Church are plain from tradition, the documents of the councils, the papal statements and the Catechism. Thus much of what dialogue might accomplish by way of explanation is not an issue. Distinguished editors of “catholic” publications are too well educated to have gaps in... READ MORE
Suicide & Abortion
April 06, 1997 Issue
A recent study published in the prestigious British Medical Journal(Dec. 7, 1996, pp. 1431-34) reports that the suicide rate after pregnancy in Finland from 1987 to 1994 was 6.4 times greater in women who had undergone induced abortions (34.7 per 100,000) than for those who had given birth (5.4 per...

(New Haven, Conn: Yale University Press, 1996, 240 pp., $25)
THOUGH NOT QUITE over, the 20th century has already earned many unique epithets— for example, some have called it history's bloodiest century. But the years stretching from... READ MORE

April 06, 1997 Issue
AN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL in Virginia is striving to produce not only young scholars, but Catholics of deep faith. Annunciation Academy, a K-8 grammar school owned and operated by lay Catholics, opened in the fall of 1993 and has already attracted more than 80 students from the metropolitan Washington,...

Election '96 and Beyond
I really enjoyed your Feb. 9–15 issue, especially the ideas expressed by Bishop James McHugh of Camden, N.J., in the news article “Bishop Calls '96 Elections 'Wake Up Call'for Hierarchy.” I was dismayed by the lack of direction and leadership during the '96 elections and... READ MORE
Lord, Teach Us to Be Vulnerable
Editorial
March 23-29, 1997 Issue
IT WASN'T PLANNED, but, in hindsight, the juxtaposition in this issue of coverage of the cloning controversy with the moving testimony of Mary Jane Owen, advocate for the mentally and physically handicapped, makes perfect sense. Surely, were the routine cloning of human beings ever to become a... READ MORE

Regarding the article concerning the Canadian judge who decided the possession of child pornography should not be a crime (Register, Jan. 31 -Feb. 6): There were a lot of conflicting opinions about the relationship between child pornography and the possible resulting sexual... READ MORE

‘Catholic’ Pro-Choicers
Peter Feuerherd's article (“Pro-lifers Still Reading Election Tea Leaves”) in the Dec. 22-28, 1996 Register extensively cites positions of Catholics for a Free Choice as if it is were a legitimate voice of Roman Catholics in the United States on the issue of abortion. The... READ MORE
The Culture of Life
BY JK EDITORIAL
January 19-25, 1997 Issue
BEGINNING the back page of this issue, the Register inaugurates a new feature, “the Culture of Life.” Therein, we will attempt to heed Pope John Paul II's call, issued most forcefully in Evangelium Vitae, to build up the “culture of life” as the paper chronicles the life of the Church and the...

For Once, Pro-Choicers Get Bashed at the Movies
BY John Prizer
January 19-25, 1997 Issue
A BORTION ON demand is one of the core values of our secular media class, so it's astonishing to find a theatrical feature like Citizen Ruth that aspires to treat the subject even-handedly. Most mass entertainment products are knee-jerk pro-choice.
Citizen Ruth's director Alexander Payne and... READ MORE

Tradition
All those involved in selecting the design for the cathedral of the third millennium (“A Cathedral for the Third Millennium,” Dec. 8-14), which scuttles 2,000 years of Catholic tradition and doctrine, should be forced to watch the film Fiddler on the Roof until they can sing the song... READ MORE

Responding to their critics, the editors of First Things featured the following statement in the January 1997 issue of the journal (excerpted).
We did not choose this controversy. It was started by a judiciary, and most particularly by a Supreme Court, that has increasingly arrogated to itself the... READ MORE

New Year’s Resolution
BY LM Editorial
January 5, 1997 Issue
Certain rituals mark the arrival of every new year. Critics deliver their “best of” and “worst of” lists, appraising the previous year's films, books, television, theater, sporting events, and so on. These days, even websites come under the scrutiny of the pundits. A new year also marks the time... READ MORE
