** THE FIRST U.S. CATHEDRAL TURNS 200
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel
The Wall Street Journal
------------------------------------------------------------
Two hundred years after it was built, the Baltimore Basilica is more than a masterpiece of Federal-style architecture. It is the center of an innovative urban mission in one of America’s most troubled cities, and it is an unparalleled historical site: the place where more U.S. Catholic history was made than at any other.

(See also Mr. Weigel’s column ([link removed]) “The Oldest Cathedral and the Newest Challenge,” which asks: “Who defines integral Catholicism in the United States? The bishops, proclaiming the settled teaching of the Church...? Or politicians who reject those truths, and then make that deviance unmistakably clear by facilitating the grave moral evil of abortion and supporting an ‘Equality Act’ that criminalizes the Bible’s teaching on the human person?”)
