Free will, conscience and moral choice: What Catholics believe
In a recent interview with Eleanor Clift in Newsweek magazine (Dec. 21), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked about her disagreements with the United States Catholic bishops concerning Church teaching.

Rediscovering the sounds of silence
We're surrounded by noise. At Miami International Airport recently, I counted five sources of noise --- TSA announcements, airline announcements, airport announcements, muzak and the ubiquitous CNN-Airport channel.

Earthquake draws attention to Haiti's strong Catholic presence

Preaching and promoting the Gospel of Life
Only by being consistently pro-life across the board can the church authentically witness to and proclaim the truth that God, not society, is the 'Lord of Life.'
