Death Penalty Dialogue

Jim Cosgrove Commentaries

Regarding “Death Penalty Symposium” (March 24-30):

I just finished reading Justice Scalia's rebuttal, and the comments from Cardinal Dulles and Father Rutler regarding the Church's teaching on the death penalty. I am thoroughly enjoying this back-and-forth discussion by these noted scholars and would like to encourage the Register to engage more Catholic intellectuals in this manner.

I can't think of a more effective way for me, and others, to broaden their understanding of key issues and doctrine than to hear from important people like Justice Scalia. Perhaps Senators Leahy, Kennedy and many other Catholic politicians would offer up their understanding and beliefs of abortion, as such.

Catholic and Feminist?

Should Catholics identify as “feminists?” That was the question posed to a panel of some of the most prominent female Catholic thinkers at a recent conference. The conference’s organizer, Abigail Favale and Register senior editor Jonathan Liedl to tell us more. And, we are approaching the tenth anniversary of the deaths of the Ethiopian Martyrs at the hands of ISIS. We talk with Alberto Fernandez on the legacy of these martyrs for the faith.
