		<description><![CDATA[CatholicCulture.org and cnsnews.com both have coverage of the Bishops&#8217; response to President Obama&#8217;s &#8220;compromise&#8221; on the HHS contraceptive mandate. Worth noting in the Bishops&#8217; statement is their  assertion that &#8220;coverage of sterilization and contraception, including some abortifacients&#8221; is &#8230;both unsupported in the law and remains a grave moral concern. We cannot fail to reiterate this, even as so many would focus exclusively on the question &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/obamas-unacceptable-compromise-and-lies.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abraham Foxman, the pro-abortion, head of the ADL, recently proclaimed Our Lord Jesus Christ the King to be unAmerican. Religion, specifically Rick Santorum&#8217;s Catholic religion, has no place in American politics, according to Mr. Foxman. In a confused statement, the ADL proclaimed that &#8220;Senator Santorum&#8217;s remark comparing himself to a &#8216;Jesus candidate&#8217; was inappropriate and exclusionary.&#8221; The organization went on to defend the religious rights &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/adls-foxman-christ-the-king-unamerican.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

While carrying out my errands and on the trip back, I clicked on the local NPR affiliate to see if there was any news worth hearing. It would have been better had I prayed more chaplets of the Rosary.

		<description><![CDATA[The words are not mine, but the Pope&#8217;s. In his bull condemning the errors of Martin Luther, Exurge Domine, Pope Leo X described his subject as &#8220;one whose faith is notoriously suspect and in fact a true heretic.&#8221; Yet Catholics are not ashamed to speak well of this heresiarch who wrought such havoc in Christendom.

		<description><![CDATA[Some months back, I received a telephone call from a sedevacantist madman who challenged me to a debate on whether Pope Benedict XVI is the pope. This individual should know that debates are not the way we do our apostolate. I have nothing against debating, but we engage in other apostolates that take up our time, I believe, more profitably: publishing, street evangelism, our school, &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/ad-rem-no-171.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the web site Taki&#8217;s Magazine, Charles Coulombe has a brief, thoughtful essay on the immigration question. In it, he summarizes the thinking of Archbishop José Gomez — his own Ordinary, since Coulombe resides in the L.A. Archdiocese. After touching on various points of view in the immigration debate, Charles favorably cites the Archbishop&#8217;s, then goes on to consider certain demographic facts that have been &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/anti-mexican-race-pride-an-insult-to-our-lady.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

If I might add a word to those of His Eminence, I will limit myself to this one: Amen.

		<description><![CDATA[In Salvation for Non-Catholics and Limbo, Dr. Jeffrey Mirus makes two arguments I would like to address. The first deals with limbo and claims that the lack of certitude that we have about the fate of unbaptized infants provides a way for us to think about the fate of non-Catholic adults. The second cites the encyclical Mystici Corporis as proof of the assertion that “the &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/ad-rem-no-141.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>
