Three years after Katrina, bad memories still vivid

NEW ORLEANS – There are bad days – and then there are incredibly bad days. Cobble enough of those together, as Marine Maj. Gen. Douglas O’Dell did in August 2005, and the sobering result was “the worst month of my life,” a snapshot of death and despair that won’t ever depart from a steely-eyed military...

Elect a pro-life president

This in response to the article “Catholic may be heartbeat from the presidency” (CR,Aug. 28). I am deeply concerned that some readers may focus on the word “Catholic” and interpret the article as an endorsement of the Obama/Biden campaign. The headline should have read, “Pro-abortion Catholic may be heartbeat from the presidency.”

Biden article brimming with ‘cafeteria Catholicism’

“Catholic may be heartbeat from the presidency” (CR, Aug. 28) was wrong right from the headline, because you can’t be a pro-death supporter and a Catholic at the same time. To label that an oxymoron is an understatement. This article could mislead the uninformed to believe that it is acceptable to vote for Sen. Joseph...

Supporting abortion should be enough to disqualify politician

When is The Catholic Review going to stop publishing articles that pay lip service to the sanctity of life of our unborn brothers and sisters? The article (CR, Aug. 28) on Joe Biden, “Catholic may be heartbeat from the presidency,” is a prime example. It states that Biden is “a Catholic who supports legal abortion...

Where is Christian conscience when it comes to war

I find Monsignor James Farmer’s column, “Society chooses death, church chooses life,” (CR, Aug. 21) very disturbing. He lists abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment and embryonic stem cell research, and makes no mention of the unjust and immoral Iraq War. The words of Pope John Paul II (March 5, 2003) regarding the Iraq War were not...

Biblical scholars provide pope with research, advice on Scriptures

VATICAN CITY – Just as a president turns to his economic or military advisers for expert opinions on issues in those areas, the pope has his own team of biblical scholars for research and advice about the Scriptures.

How the Cafeteria Opened

Last week’s column waded into the controversial territory of contraception, the Church’s firm, steady and – I would claim – infallible teaching on the openness to every marital act to both the unitive and procreative meaning that God wills for marital love. The occasion was the recent 40th anniversary of Pope Paul VI’s landmark encyclical,...
