Be an Informed and Educated Catholic
Dear Reader:
Being an informed and educated Catholic helps you be committed to the truth.
By reading The Catholic Herald each week you can easily discuss, debate, and analyze Catholic Identity.
Since September 11th much discussion goes on over cocktails, at work and at home regarding how we as a nation should respond to terrorists who attack us. What moral means may we use to retaliate against a terrorist? How do we protect the innocent? What is the Church's reasoning and teaching with regard to Stem Cell Research?
The Catholic Herald assists us to debate, analyze, and discuss these and other events. Subscribe, read thoroughly, and contribute to discussions about current affairs.
-- Bishop William H. Bullock
