New pavilion in St. Mary’s City traces story of birthplace of religious freedom in United States

ST. MARY’S CITY – Marylanders of all ages celebrated the state’s 377th birthday at Historic St. Mary’s City March 26, in a colorful program that included 24 fourth-graders from across the state carrying the flags of their counties and an opening procession with seven men in colonial garb portraying the St. Maries Citty Militia from...

What would Day think?

George Weigel is no doubt a respected scholar and pundit. However, after reading his last column (CR, March 24), it would appear that his plutocratic musings belong more in the pages of a reactionary publication than a Catholic newspaper. Weigel’s observations on “workers rights” would make Dorothy Day cringe.

Much wrong to capital punishment

I believe that capital punishment (CR, March 17) interferes with God’s will by prematurely stopping the time afforded by God for an individual to come to terms with his or her crime and to seek forgiveness. God alone reserves the right to accomplish his plan or will in any manner he chooses; even if it...

The Pro-Abortion Lobby … Again?

When the story of the appalling incident involving a young woman’s injuries at an abortion clinic in Elkton, in Cecil County, first surfaced last fall, voices on both sides of the abortion issue raised deep concern. Many were surprised to learn that the Free State’s permissive abortion laws carried no power to prevent the kind...

Stand up for working class

Readers were well served by George Weigel and Tony Magliano side by side (CR, March 24). I agree with Weigel’s assessment of the reactionary behavior of teachers’ unions blocking school vouchers for selfish reasons, to preserve their own empire, but he goes far beyond to attack all public unions and place the blame for the...

Panelists: Welcome immigrants or lose them to other faiths, secularism

WASHINGTON – With the bulk of U.S. population growth coming among Hispanics, the Catholic Church must get out ahead in welcoming Latino newcomers or they will become involved in other institutions and activities instead, cautioned panelists at a conference on immigration and the church.

Charity not a government function

Tony Magliano (CR, March 24) suffers from hubris, because he presumes that he can determine the stains on the souls of others. His denunciation of not increasing taxes on the rich ignores easily observed facts. As a group, homeless people do not hire employees. Increasing taxes decreases tax revenue. For example, Maryland’s millionaire’s tax resulted...

Restrain anti-union rhetoric

George Weigel is (CR, March 24) brings up the canard that “Tens of thousands of inner city children are being denied a quality education today because of the intransigence of the teachers unions.” I favor voucher programs, but am against using the inability of school systems to educate according to an unattainable standard as the...
