Doubts about new Missal
Sep. 8, 2010, By Peter Mandell
Thank God that the higher ups in Rome have seized on a new and revised Missal we will all be forced to accept – very much a reversal of the contemporary updated language welcome after Vatican II. In all their wisdom, and reflecting a total lack of understanding of the many ...

Is new Missal needed?
Sep. 8, 2010, By Peggy Saunders
Many have been following with dismay the changes to be forced on us next Advent in the New Roman Missal. We’re really disappointed in the U.S. Bishops’ Conference for caving in to the Vatican’s rejection of the pastorally sensitive, yet scholarly faithful to ...

Praise for Msgr. O’Malley
Aug. 29, 2010, By Andrew J. Martin
I was filled with great pride and joy to read that Msgr. James O’Malley was given the title of Prelate of Honor to His Holiness, Benedict XVI.

Telling role of Mary
Aug. 29, 2010, By Vivienne Beasley

Giving voice to all
Aug. 29, 2010, By Oscar Ramirez
I had not laughed so hard reading Catholic San Francisco as I did today on BART, seeing liberals run around panicking because of Gary Zimak’s Ten Commandments from the Catholic right.

Food for thought
Aug. 29, 2010, By Alan E. Kahn
I am a devout Catholic. I just finished reading “Crossing the Threshold of Hope” by His Holiness, John Paul II. The profound feeling it left me was the truly simple and sincere faith of this wonderful Pope.

‘Rejecting Church authority’
Aug. 29, 2010, By Stephen Firenze
I’ll leave it to smarter people than I am to defend the Church’s teaching on women’s ordination, other than to say that two thousand years of tradition and guidance by the Holy Spirit really does settle the question. However, I was somewhat surprised by both ...

We are responding to the article on Global Hunger (Catholic San Francisco, Aug. 13). Father Weare is our Parish Priest at St. Rita’s Church, Fairfax, and we agree with his position on global hunger.
