Where Were These People When I Was Running for President?

Last updated on: April 23, 2012 at 10:12 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

The question had to be going through my friend Rick Santorum’s mind last week as he was cheered at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C.: Where were these people when I was running for president? Where were the Catholics when he was running for the Republican nomination for president? As I would say when asked, I’d sleep much better than I do now with either Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney as president. I believe both to be good... Read more

From Father George W. Rutler’s bulletin column (which you can receive in your inbox weekly): Elderly people often think that some of their recollections are unimportant in the grand scheme of things. With the Titanic anniversary still vivid, there are eyewitness accounts of three priests giving general absolution: Juozas Montvila of Lithuania, Josef Benedikt Peruschitz of Germany and Thomas Byles of England. Sister Mary Patricia, a Religious Sister of Mercy, remembered a woman using her hat to stuff a hole in... Read more

By the way, I was hanging out with one of the coolest women in Washington yesterday: Deidre Byrne, Army colonel, surgeon, and religious sister. (At that breakfast that did not quite make the news.) She has written: My father was a busy thoracic surgeon but still made it a priority to attend Mass every day before work. My mother got us ready for school and then went to 9 a.m. Mass – no small commitment since she was raising eight children.... Read more

‘It’s About Time’

Last updated on: April 20, 2012 at 1:17 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

That is what a friend of mine, a recent convert not known for her authoritarian tendencies e-mailed me last night, after reading the news of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s call for the reform of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. It’s tremendously lazy but ideologically convenient reporting that claims it’s a story of scandal-plagued men slapping down oppressed women who only want to serve the poor. We’re talking about women whose radical feminism leads them to... Read more

Oh Brother, Oh Boehner

Last updated on: April 20, 2012 at 9:08 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

There are Catholics raising questions about Paul Ryan’s budget. And there are Catholics, like Paul Ryan, making clear that they take Catholic Social Teaching seriously. Earlier this week, John Boehner was asked about criticisms of the budget coming out of the Catholic bishops’ conference. The Huffington Post describes it thus: House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) chastised Catholic bishops at a Wednesday news conference on Capitol Hill, saying they needed to look at the bigger picture after they complained that...

Mother, May We Fight for Freedom?

I don’t know what you’ve read about nuns today, but I want you to have the chance to read this from Mother Agnes Mary Donovan of the Sisters of Life. They are the remarks she delivered this morning at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast and I wish every Catholic or anyone who pretends to know anything about the Catholic Church, the religious liberty fight we’re in or women in the Catholic Church would read.

Religious Liberty Is a Winning Issue

Last updated on: April 18, 2012 at 4:13 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

The president may be losing Catholics, according to a new Pew poll. “Free” birth control isn’t exactly a rallying cry for registered voters, the poll also suggests. Here, not for the first time polling suggests to those inclined to oppose the president’s HHS mandate and administrative hostility to religious liberty: Have courage. And, as it happens, doing the right thing may even have political benefit. Practically speaking, sometimes that does help in Washington … Read more
