** WHAT’S NEXT FOR REPUBLICANS?
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC President Ryan T. Anderson
Princeton Alumni Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------

** GOOD NEWS AFTER A VERY BAD YEAR ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

“Good things have been happening this past year, and as the Church heads into Holy Week it’s time to recognize some of them; to be grateful for the exemplary Catholics who make these important initiatives possible; and to pray for their flourishing in the future,” writes EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel. ([link removed])

And, in his latest column, Mr. Weigel writes: “The Easter explosion created a communion of disciples in mission. We are their heirs. We can bring light to a darkened world if we believe with the intensity they did.” Read it here. ([link removed])

Join George Weigel on Wednesday, April 7, at 1 p.m. ET for a webinar exploring the significance of the Vatican’s 2018 deal with the Chinese Communist Party regarding the appointment of bishops. Learn more and register here. ([link removed])

** NO, GEORGIA’S NEW VOTING LAW IS NOT A RETURN TO JIM CROW
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
