The day I thought a shooter was on campus

March 14, 2018
By Emily Rosenthal Alster
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary

In a split second, the place that we called home could have become one in a list of many: Sandy Hook, Oklahoma City, Columbine, the World Trade Center, the Boston Marathon and now Parkland. It only takes one person with malicious intent to uproot and destroy lives.

By John Garvey
Filed Under: Blog, Guest Commentary, Intellect and Virtue

I wish we had a litmus test to identify the people who deserve our praise. But it won’t ever be simple. We are all sinners.

Goodness and virtue must not give way to violence and fear

January 9, 2018
By Bishop Denis J. Madden
Filed Under: Blog, Guest Commentary, Urban Vicariate

It’s not so much a question of how can we change those who commit violent acts as it is a question of how can I live a virtuous and good and decent life in the midst of daily tragedies.
