This oil is destroying the livelihoods of so many people, not just fishermen; our economy is all connected. If our wetlands are destroyed, we will lose even more of our protection from hurricane storm surge. America needs to care because this is their coastline too! Part of what destroyed the coastline was the country's lust for oil. The oil companies cut navigational canals through the marshes to make access easier. This allowed salt water to move further inland, kill the grasses, and now the land dissolves by a football field a day and melts into the gulf. The oil will only kill the marshes faster.

It appears that BP has decided it needs tips from the Spin Master to protect its thoroughly corroded reputation in the U.S. No, they haven't hired Republican strategist Frank Luntz.

These are dark days for Catholics and our church. The clergy sexual abuse scandals are a source of profound pain and raw anger.

It is far too easy to blame the highly publicized priestly scandal for the alienation of Catholics in Europe or the United States.

The Catholic church is reeling from the several sexual abuse allegations that have come to light over the past three months.
