So much is wrongly being said today of the need for a separation of Church and State. Charles Carroll lived a life that speaks volumes about a man who put God first, put his faith belief first, and lived his public life with this ever before himself proposing government ever respectful of those beliefs. - Charles Carroll Carter Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:23:20 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/remembering-the-carrolls-of-maryland.html#comment-4474 thank you for mentioning the name of this book. i heard a radio interview one day with this author (i think!)but could not find the note i wrote to read more about this great family. Prof Marlin, if you have any other resources, please post them. both my husband and i love history. and yes, some times it is easy to bemoan the loss of men like these. yet, God is Faithful. in the trenches are countless unknown people living truth & influencing their neighbors. let us pray for heroes to rise up in Truth. - debby Wed, 07 Jul 2010 08:09:28 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/remembering-the-carrolls-of-maryland.html#comment-4466 I am a new convert to the Church, but my family has deep roots in Britain and America. I have been reading Prof. Bradley J. Birzer's AMERICAN CICERO: The Life of Charles Carroll. The Carroll family history and the role of Catholics in this nation's founding is a revelation to me. The struggles of the Church have been and continue to be the struggle for freedom and dignity as embodied in the words, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Last week's Supreme Court nominee hearings demonstrated yet again and these freedoms cannot be taken for granted and have few friends in the legal establishment today. But who is our Charles Carroll now? - Graham Combs Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:00:40 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/remembering-the-carrolls-of-maryland.html#comment-4462 Thank you, Mr Malin, for remembering these great Catholic patriots -- John is the founder of Georgetown where I teach, and so he is daily in my thoughts; and I'm grateful to carry the same blood as Charles, my 3rd cousin (sometime removed by now). May their legacy abide! - Rev Stephen Fields, SJ Tue, 06 Jul 2010 08:44:21 +0100
