Columnists Historian’s thoughts about Catholics and Labor on Labor Day Sep. 1, 2010, By Bill Issel When I was growing up, we considered the Labor Day parade on Market Street one of the high points of the year. Women marched in the parades, but back then if you asked me or my fellow students at St. Agnes School, we would have told you that our dads worked and our moms stayed ...  New Balance: The Catholic South risesSep. 1, 2010, By John L. Allen, Jr. The Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner once said that, in the long run, the importance of the Second Vatican Council in the mid-1960s is that it marked the emergence of Catholicism as a self-consciously global family of faith. Rahner was making a kind of theological argument.  Consider This: Dealing with ‘new things’ on Labor Day Sep. 1, 2010, By Stephen Kent At a daily newspaper where I once labored, we spent long hours analyzing the results of a readership survey in order to translate the data into a strategy that would strengthen and increase readership.  Twenty Something: The good shepherd: a break that forms a bond Sep. 1, 2010, By Christina Capecchi I had relegated shepherds to the unicorn file, somewhere near the hunch-backed blacksmith and the whistling milk man.

In order to keep this course, she picks a “point,” or object ahead, and sets a course towards it. For Jill, Costello that “point” was beating lung cancer.  Making a Difference: Rock the boat! Transform American culture!Aug. 25, 2010, By Tony Magliano Don’t rock the boat. Don’t challenge the system. That message – promoted by the vast majority of the economically and politically powerful – continually is transmitted through a myriad of ways to numb the rest of us into submission.  Consider This: Isn’t academic freedom for all?Aug. 22, 2010, By Stephen Kent It is not what lawyers would call a clean case, but still it is clear enough to expose the hypocrisy often found on politically correct college campuses.  Parish Diary: Letter to the newly ordainedAug. 22, 2010, By Father Peter J. Daly This summer in the United States, 440 men are being ordained to the priesthood in service to the Church.
