Print Dr. Susan Berry Read Full Bio Catholic Journalists: Vatican 'Gay Lobby' Scandal Unlikely to Have Led Pope to Resign Allen concurs with Lawler that “it’s probably a stretch to draw a straight line between all of this and Benedict’s resignation. For the most part, one has to take the pope at his word: He’s stepping aside because he’s old and tired, not because of any particular crisis.” 23 Feb 2013 HHS Study: Head Start Kids Have More Problems with Math, Social Interactions This past week, President Obama warned Americans that, if the sequester occurs, hundreds of thousands of children will lose access to Project Head Start. A new study, however, published by the Obama administration's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has found that students who participate in the $8 billion Head Start program actually fare worse, in some ways, than students who do not. 23 Feb 2013 With Biden Present, Connecticut Governor Takes Gun Control Into His Own Hands Stating that neither the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission he created, nor the Connecticut legislature’s bipartisan committee has moved fast enough on measures to curb gun violence, Gov. Dannel Malloy (D-WFP) took matters into his own hands by unveiling his own proposals on Thursday. 21 Feb 2013 With Election Over, Obama Announces Medicare Cuts to Fund ObamaCare In an announcement on Friday, the Obama administration revealed that it would be significantly reducing funding for Medicare, a move that one health insurance analyst said “would turn almost every plan in the industry unprofitable.” 20 Feb 2013 Senate Democrats: Obamacare a 'Regulatory Health Coverage No Man's Land' At a Senate Finance Committee hearing on February 14th, The White House’s top Obamacare regulator found himself dodging bullets from an unexpected source: the very Democrats who passed President Obama’s signature healthcare law. 20 Feb 2013 College Students Seek Right to Concealed Carry on Campus Since the 2007 shooting rampage at Virginia Tech, which left 33 people dead, gun-rights advocates have made the right to carry concealed weapons on public college and university campuses a major issue, most recently in Colorado. 19 Feb 2013 Twenty-Six States Leave ObamaCare Exchanges to Federal Government Following the Februrary 15th deadline for states to notify the federal government of their decision regarding who will run the new ObamaCare insurance exchanges, more than half of the states have decided to leave the exchanges to the federal government. 18 Feb 2013 Pope Benedict: Media Created 'Calamities' by Politicizing Church Perhaps what was most striking about what the pontiff related, however, was his assertion that “the world interpreted the Council through the eyes of the media instead of seeing the true Council of the Fathers and their key vision of faith.” Pope Benedict’s “chat,” in fact, is stunning in its criticism that the “journalists’ interpretation of the Council was political,” causing the Council to be “trivialized with disastrous consequences for the Church.” 16 Feb 2013 Pennsylvania Pioneer Program Achieves Drop in Abortions A Pennsylvania program that empowers women to choose life over abortion has achieved a seven percent drop in the number of resident abortions in the state over the last 17 years. 15 Feb 2013 Obama's Social Innovation Fund Politicizes Charity, Finds Little Support An Obama administration initiative that claims to encourage public-private partnerships to help the poor is having problems getting private donors to get onboard. One of the reasons for the lack of private contributions is that the Social Innovation Fund (SIF) may well be another step toward the “politicization of charity,” or government picking and choosing which charities get to survive. 15 Feb 2013 Previous 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Next
