A response to: [Abortion-Survivor Finds a Home]
My brother's daughter was born prematurely at 24 weeks gestation and just over one pound. Her skin was paper-thin and her eyes were still fused. Her parents were warned she could be blind, mentally challenged, and have severe lung problems. Today she is a normal, healthy, happy 14 year old in eighth grade. Miracles do happen!

A response to: Archbishop Censures Clinton Stop at Catholic University
I give my thanks to the archbishop for standing up and not being silent these days regarding these moral issues. I pray that more of our bishops and priests stand up and be the voice crying in the wilderness proclaiming Gods message.
God Bless and pray for our priests,
David Latta

A response to: Archbishop Censures Clinton Stop at Catholic University
While I do not agree with Mrs. [Hilary] Clinton's stand on abortion, nevertheless, the good archbishop's stand may be likened to the stand of those professors and students who objected to the Pope's visit to Sapienza University.
We know the truth and we should not be afraid if others don't. Besides, the university's academic community is well within its rights to hear her even if we don't agree with some of her views.

Kudos to archbishop Gomez [Archbishop Censures Clinton Stop at Catholic University]. This issue is a case in point of how liberalism can seep into our religious institutions and contaminate our faith with its ideals.
St. Mary's University may be making a disclaimer statement about not endorsing any political party or platform, but the vulnerable young people of that institution will still be exposed to those ideals if they are permitted to be presented at that Catholic University.
Also, such acts can be construed by other Christian denominations as liberalism of the Catholic Church, and thereby, bring scandal on the Church. I hope to see more of our clergy speaking out publicly against such un-thought-out actions as this one by St. Mary's.

I fully agree with the cardinals [Cardinals' Letter Promoting Marian Dogma] that this great Marian dogma be promulgated by the magisterium in gratitude and praise for our good Mother Mary, to the glory of the Most Holy Trinity and for the good of all humanity.
Yours in Jesus, Mary and Joseph

I agree with the cardinals [Cardinals Hoping for a 5th Marian Dogma], however, there needs to be a very clear explanation concerning this title.
We, as Catholics, understand the meaning very clearly, but to other Christians it could sound like we are putting Jesus and his Mother on an equal footing. If explained properly it is simple to understand. Hopefully, this will be done when this dogma takes place.

A response to: Condom Fallacies
It seems that in sex education, especially in Canada the United States and nearly the entire Western world has forgotten the one essential element of Sex: Love. Eros is now perverted by mutual sexual gratification without the consequences that imply responsibility. Truly, the world needs to see that love and responsibility are two indivisible realities.

Thank you for printing Helen Alvarre's article on female objectification [Female Objectification Not All Fault of Men]. For far too long, we've just accepted the exploitation of women and girls as "the way things are." But, as a mother and grandmother, I'd like to see a better circumstance.
I agree that females are contributing to their own degradation by adopting "the world's" pattern of dress, speech and behavior. Getting them to actually see their own responsibility is an uphill battle, but I'm not giving up -- especially with Helen Alvaré leading the cavalry!
