This Is a Fortnight of a Morning!

Last updated on: June 25, 2012 at 4:58 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Maureen and Mike Ferguson dragged their kids out of bed to participate in the historic opening Fortnight for Freedom Friday morning Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. And the youngsters — they get it. Via Catholic New York: Grace [12] recently received a score of 28 out of 30 points for a paper she was assigned to write about the HHS mandate, she said. “The government’s made some bad choices,” added her brother Joseph [7].

The Freedom to Love God Is Worth the Fight

Last updated on: June 13, 2012 at 5:52 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

In a speech to the meeting of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in Atlanta today, Catholic University of America president John Garvey plugged the upcoming Fortnight for Freedom by suggesting that: “Saving religious liberty means reminding people that they should love God.” We need to recover a sense of religion as a good. And we need to remind people that Christianity is a call to live as Christians, to be who we say we are. It’s not clinging... Read more

25 Years Ago Today, an American President Spoke about Love

Last updated on: June 12, 2012 at 1:35 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

In his famous speech at the Brandenburg Gate, President Reagan said: In these four decades, as I have said, you Berliners have built a great city. You’ve done so in spite of threats—the Soviet attempts to impose the East-mark, the blockade. Today the city thrives in spite of the challenges implicit in the very presence of this wall. What keeps you here? Certainly there’s a great deal to be said for your fortitude, for your defiant courage. But I believe... Read more

Are you wondering about that supposed “accommodation”? Are you unclear about the state of conscience in America and why people are suing the Department of Human Services? Here is a good 101: The fact is that talk of accommodation is smoke and mirrors. The mandate holds as originally written. Nothing has changed to expand in any way the very narrow so-called religious exemption. Nothing has changed in the federal government forcing faith-based institutions to provide access to services our Church... Read more

The archbishop of Canterbury delivered a beautiful meditation on the true meaning of dedication, about vocation and our truest selves at the jubilee celebration for the queen of England earlier this week. He said, in part: St Paul implies that we should be so overwhelmed by the promise of a shared joy far greater than narrow individual fulfilment, that we find the strength to take the risks and make the sacrifices – even if this seems to reduce our individual...

What and who do we value? It’s a question worth considering with reports of better pre-natal genetic scans. Chuck Donovan does: Consider for a moment any random collection of 20 people of your acquaintance. Include your banker. The captain of your high-school football team. The mentally ill veteran on the street corner who accepts a quarter from you twice a week. The perpetually smiling vendor in a wheelchair at the Metro stop who sells you candy for a dollar. The...
