-One of the terms that journalists hear during many continuing education sessions at the Poynter Institute down in Florida is “stakeholder.” Basically, a stakeholder is someone whose life will be directly affected by the accuracy and fairness of a story. This stakeholder may be a source in a story. Then again...
If you are Catholic, you may or may not know that most — not all, but most — evangelicals do not believe you are Christians. I’ve known home-school groups whose Statements of Faith exclude Catholics because we do not subscribe to the “Five Solas” — the pillars of Protestantism.
-I don't think we reflect enough on the Ten Commandments, which were so vital to the Old Testament, and provided a foundation for Western Society. The first table of the Law deals with our relationship to God, because our relationship to each other depends on our relationship to God.

-My previous, and only trip to Rome, was nearly 17 years ago. I was a Catholic newbie, having come into the Church that March. My wife, Mary, and I were expecting a child, 10 months after miscarrying our first. Our three-week European excursion began in Rome. I can still recall being awed by the artwork, St. Peter’s...Quick!

However, as I became older I could see deeper meaning in observing Lent by some small penitential act which perhaps only served to me as a reminder of what Jesus spent f...
