Presidential review     

     

obama With the Republican primaries underway, it's hard not to think about the presidential election--even though it's still 10 months away. In honor of President's Day, for our February 2012 issue, we asked readers to rate President Obama, and the response was overwhelming: Nearly 700 let us know whether they think the President is up to par on issues that matter most to Catholics.

 

But space in our magazine is limited, and we were only able to print a handful of the responses. So we compiled a page for uscatholic.org with our favorite responses. Consider it the unabridged version of Feedback.

 

Didn't get a chance to take the survey? Read the Reader Survey and write a letter to the editor (email it to [email protected]). While you're at it, take a look at the rest of our February issue and let us know what you think.

Church:
Bring remarried Catholics back to the table

The standard approach to remarried Catholics is long on law but short on mercy, argues Austrian theologian Father Paul M. Zulehner, who suggests a more pastoral approach used in his country.  

 

Culture: Stay of execution
With a common commitment, Catholics can make capital punishment a thing of the past, writes Bryan Cones.
