ANOTHER REASON TO BE GLAD AL GORE ISN'T PRESIDENT Bush Administration supports Ohio's partial-birth abortion ban. Wednesday, March 13, 2002

SCANDAL IN THE CHURCH Fr. Roger J. Landry of Fall River, Mass., has produced one of the best assessments of the sexual-abuse charges against the Catholic Church that I have read so far. Scandal, he observes, has been with the Church since the very beginning, starting with Judas' betrayal of Christ.

In His goodness, God finds ways to deliver grace through even the most trying of times. Our current crisis in the Church is just such an occasion. Like many great scandals before it, Dr. Landry says, the latest scandal is a call to holiness. It is great saints who have restored the Church in the past, and Christ is calling for new saints to rise to the occasion today.
