Dear readers,
The continuing strong commentaries from faithful Catholic leaders are demonstrating more than ever the gravity of the scandal of the Kennedy funeral showcase. Judie Brown of American Life League says she's seen nothing like it in her 65 years, EWTN's Raymond Arroyo is incensed – not by Kennedy – but by Church leadership.
Our numerous letters to the editor on the issue today illustrate the deep divisions and different perceptions of it among Catholics and others. Ours is an age of confusion and religious ignorance due in significant part to the disorder within the Catholic Church in the West for the past 40 years. The Kennedy funeral and reactions to it illustrate how far the Church still is from resolving this deadly disorder.
We continue to follow the case of the former lesbian mother who became Christian and got married fighting for the right to raise her biological child without the influence of her former same-sex partner. Parents in Alberta have scandalously had their right over classroom sex education of their children delayed for a year.
As we begin the school year we hope that parents, teachers and students will remember to use LifeSiteNews.com as a source for information and inspiration for essays, debates, and projects.
