ICC celebrates 50 years as public policy voice of the Church in Indiana

Press conferenceThe Second Vatican Council, with its profound and sweeping changes for the Catholic Church, had concluded less than a year before. The social and political upheavals of the 1960s were reshaping American culture. And in the midst of it all, Indiana Catholics stepped forward to be heard. In October of 1966, a small group of dedicated Catholics met in Indianapolis to do what their counterparts in only a handful of states had accomplished—to formalize a way for the Catholic Church to speak on both state and national issues. That was the genesis of the Indiana Catholic Conference (ICC), which this fall marks the 50th anniversary of its establishment as the public policy voice of the Catholic Church in Indiana. (Page 3)

Ten years after canonization, sisters say foundress motivated by love for God and his love for her

Statue of St. TheodoraThe quaint country town of St. Mary-of-the-Woods, a few miles northwest of Terre Haute, seems a far cry from the “Wild West,” but when Mother Theodore Guérin arrived there in 1840, the Indiana forest was frontier country. “It is astonishing that this remote solitude has been chosen for a novitiate and especially for an academy,” Mother Theodore recorded in her journal. “All appearances are against it.” Today, those very words are emblazoned on the walls of a shrine that now stands on the tamed landscape. The pioneer-religious sister accomplished what she thought impossible, successfully establishing a thriving congregation and a school in the midst of the wilderness. (Page 16)

Respect Life Month: Author reveals how authentic feminism was hijacked by proponents of sexual revolution

Right to Life speakerThe word “feminism” and the feminist movement can call to mind images of pro-abortion, free-spirited women who rebel against Christian morals. But this is not what the founders of feminism intended at the turn of the last century. Rather, the pro-life, pro-family feminist movement was hijacked by proponents of the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Such was the truth revealed by Sue Ellen Browder—a self-proclaimed repentant witness to and perpetrator of this travesty—to more than 900 pro-life advocates at the Right to Life of Indianapolis “Celebrate Life Dinner” on Oct. 4 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.
