Commentary and Report: 'Is Marriage Worth Defending?'
Summary
This is a comprehensive and well-researched paper that should encourage those working to preserve marriage as an institution that strengthens our society. Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I., Archbishop of Chicago The paper on marriage written by Alan Wisdom titled, "Is Marriage Worth Defending," has been on my own interest-screen since January, 2011. This likeable and readable paper of some note and considerable interest on the subject of traditional marriage, with a section on Gay Marriage, was originally produced in 2009 by Institute on Religion and Democracy as one of its Mt. Nebo papers. The Institute, a conservative think-tank, produces a few papers and offers thoughts, press releases, and talks to groups and the press about religious issues like marriage - the traditional kind. Surprisingly, as this writer spent some time talking via email and in person with others on the subject of marriage, it came to pass that most were obsessed with the subject of Gay Marriage, and they turned to that as their subject in conversations, ignoring the more traditional kind. This is so even if they themselves were married in a Church, under vows and the part of which offered their relationship as a couple reamains in the eyes of Christ, even in Christ Himself, as well as in their Christian Church.

The New Pope Francis
Summary
Two interviews with Yale Professors about the New Pope Francis. In a phone conversation with Sister Janet Ruffing, Professor at Yale University along with an exchange of emails, she commented on the New Pope Francis. As a Roman Catholic Sister, she says, "The Sisters, our whole lives, were affected by Vatican II and we are very hopeful...[that the Pope will be] someone who will focus on the Gospel." This book draws on case material from her (and another scholar's) experience with directees and students for many years as well as postmodern understandings of the narrative creating self.
