The differences the Pill has made March 28, 2012 - Mary Eberstadt is my friend, but I’ll risk charges of special pleading and self-plagiarism by quoting my endorsement on the dust jacket of her new book, Adam and Eve after the Pill (Ignatius Press): “Mary Eberstadt is our premier analyst of American cultural foibles and follies, with a keen eye for oddities that illuminate just how strange the country’s moral culture has become.” That strangeness is on full display in the ongoing controversy over the HHS-“contraceptive mandate”—an exercise in raw governmental coercion depicted by much of the mainstream media (and, alas, by too many Catholics on the port side of the barque of Peter) as a battle between Enlightened Sexual Liberation and The Antediluvian Catholic Church.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Kudos for Maryknoll Thank you for the article in the Feb. 15 Denver Catholic Register, “The Church’s Marines: Maryknollers older, fewer, but still going strong.” Maryknoll has been a part of my life since I was a little girl. When my husband and I decided to get married 33 years ago, it was in a Mayan village (Tixhualatun) deep in the Yucatan jungle by Father Roman A. Kasperzk, M.M. For 15 years we had a Maryknoller say a home Mass. We invited family and friends and after the Mass we would have a huge barbecue. It was a sad day when they closed their house here. I love these men of Maryknoll.
