GOOD NEWS AFTER A VERY BAD YEAR

 
“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.

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.

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.

NAS DEBUTS COALITION TO STOP ACTION CIVICS

By EPPC Senior Fellow Stanley Kurtz
National Review Online
At a moment when the public and legislators are eager to restore long-neglected civic education, radicals are attempting to smuggle partisan leftist activism into K-12 education under the misleading label of “civics.” The new NAS Civics Alliance aims to block these moves and restore genuine civic education instead. Read More
