The complications of coming out

Vince Mallett | Friday, October 9, 2020

National Coming Out Day is Sunday. The holiday was created in 1988 to celebrate publicly identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, etc. (LGBTQ). I certainly agree that it is an important day for celebration, but I also believe it provides a crucial opportunity to talk about what coming out means and the role it

Pro-life hands

Letter to the Editor | Friday, October 11, 2019

There is a quote attributed to St. Teresa of Avila that says, “Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands, no feet on earth but yours.” As Catholics, we are called to be Christ’s hands, body, and heart at work in, and in relationship with, the whole world. But what does it

Annie Moran and Katie Hieatt | Friday, October 11, 2019

Leaving the United Methodist Church

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, February 28, 2019

I remember the morning I got baptized into the Methodist faith. As a young teenager, I was mortified to be standing in front of the congregation with all eyes on me. I was so nervous standing in front of the congregation and kneeled down at the makeshift altar in the church gymnasium, because the sanctuary

Gay and Catholic

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, November 13, 2018

As a gay man, being told by my Catholic faith that I cannot love is a heartbreaking experience. It’s like having legs and being told that I cannot walk. I respect and love my faith — it is the lens through which I view the world — and my first instinct is to adhere to
