Changing Witness
Catholic Bishops and Public Policy, 1917-1994
By Michael Warner
Posted: Thursday, October 5, 1995
Historian Michael Warner traces the development of the social teaching of America's Catholic bishops from World War I to the present and shows how papal teaching, the reception of the Second Vatican Council, the upheavals in American morals, mores, and politics, and the bureaucratic evolution of the bishops' conference all contribute to a "changing witness" in the volatile years between 1917 and 1994.  [Read More]

The Final Revolution
The Final Revolution
The Resistance Church and the Collapse of Communism
By George Weigel
Posted: Sunday, November 1, 1992
The collapse of communism in central and eastern Europe--the Revolution of 1989--was a singularly stunning event in a century already known for the unexpected. How did people divided for two generations by an Iron Curtain come so suddenly to dance together atop the Berlin Wall? Why did people who had once seemed resigned to their fate suddenly take their future into their hands? Some analysts have explained the Revolution in economic terms, arguing that the Warsaw Part countries could no longer compete with the West. But as George Weigel argues in this thought-provoking volume, people don't put their lives, and their children's future, in harm's way simply for better cars, refrigerators, and TVs. Something else--something more--had to happen behind the Iron Curtain before the Wall came tumbling down.  [Read More]

Faith Angle Forum: Big Effects in Small Packages
Barbara Bryant, Philanthropy Magazine

"Sometimes donating to what looks like a small initiative can have a much more significant impact than you realize. Through his Faith Angle Forum, Michael Cromartie gathers a select group of distinguished scholars and nationally respected journalists-from places like the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and NPR-for in-depth discussions of some of the most crucial cultural issues facing American's today. Twice yearly, the forum holds a two-day conference to discuss religion and public life in a serious fashion, miles removed from Washington's ideological battlefields. When you think of the influence of the leading media, you understand how influential this small conference can be."
