Readers open their hearts to share what they love about being Catholic

Catholics prayingWhat do you love about being Catholic? It’s a question that The Criterion is asking Catholics from across the archdiocese—a question that stems from Pope Benedict XVI’s call for a special Year of Faith that began on Oct. 11, the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council and the 20th anniversary of the publishing of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In considering that question, people from across central and southern Indiana have offered thoughtful and touching responses that pour from their hearts. (Page 1)
