Jimmy Carter, biblical scholar and theologian April 11, 2012 - Given the specter of James Buchanan, the question of whether Jimmy Carter was the worst president in the history of the Republic must remain unresolved; yet there is no doubt that Carter is the worst ex-president ever. Having failed to convince his countrymen to re-elect him, he has spent his post-presidency explaining to the world what is wrong with his countrymen, and his country, in a pathetic attempt at self-vindication.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Kudos on ‘Pot Robertson’ column I just wanted to take a moment and send a note about Christopher Stefanick’s “Pot Robertson and the war on drugs” article in this morning’s (April 4) Denver Catholic Register. I am the coordinator of adolescent substance use at Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network in Littleton (and attend St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Littleton), so I unfortunately deal with these issues on a daily basis. I wanted to commend Stefanick for putting into words (in such a short article) so many of the issues raised by the ridiculous “legalization” crowd and shooting down their arguments so effectively. You can be sure that I will use your article to further discuss these issues with my clients. To me this is very much a moral issue, as the young people that I work with on a daily basis are so ill-informed on these issues that it puts many aspects of their life (and soul) in danger. Thank you for your concern to this important topic.
