I wish there were more intelligent, not anti-Catholic journals of opinion to read!! - Jacob Wed, 16 Dec 2009 07:57:07 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/rerum-novarum.html#comment-3688 I agree with most of this piece but am surprised that you do not mention the many new Catholic movements and charisms that have arisen in the last five or six decades. The recent popes including Benedict have given wise pastoral guidance and solicitude to these initiatives of the Holy Spirit, and many fruits are flowing to the Church and society as a result. Even as parishes close in this country a dynamic Christian witness emerges here and abroad. Let us pray and remain watchful in hope. - Bill Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:50:11 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/rerum-novarum.html#comment-3686 Thank you, Robert Royal. It is not a quibble to challenge the sobriquet The Great when referring to the late John Paul II. His protection of Fr. Marciel Maciel, the founder of the Legionaries, for fifty years, now being investigated by Rome, Assisi I and Assisi II, I could go on. Just look at what Benedict has accomplished in four years vis a vis the 25 years of John Paul's reign. Saints, yes. Truly GREAT popes are more important. - William H.

Naturally many of their problems seem horrifying. Everyone wants "as much as you can spare." Truthfully, in this economy I can spare almost nothing, and my feeble efforts to respond only trigger more appeals. I wish this website luck, and I suppose you have little choice but to appeal, but we Catholics need some sort of clearing house to separate desperate from urgent. - Ron G Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:24:54 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/rerum-novarum.html#comment-3682 Are contributions tax deductible? - Mike Tue, 15 Dec 2009 12:37:43 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/rerum-novarum.html#comment-3680 A day without TCT is like a day without sunshine. - Willie Tue, 15 Dec 2009 07:48:58 +0100
