From Our Store: Liturgical Year 2012-2013, Vol. 5: Ordinary Time after Easter (eBook)

The November issue of Catholic World Report will be hitting newsstands any day and here's what you'll find inside:

Preparing for the Crucial Decision: With the appointment of 30 new members to the College of Cardinals, Pope John Paul has prepared the Church for the inevitable discussion: Who will be his successor? CWR profiles the prelates who will now be helping to make that decision.
Silver Anniversary: While Rome buzzed with rumors about his health and even his possible resignation, Pope John Paul took time to celebrate the 25 years of his pontificate.
Starved to Death: With all legal appeals exhausted, a handicapped woman needed a miracle to prevent her death by starvation. Domenico Bettinelli, Jr, reports.
The Magdalene Sisters: CWR offers two different (but not contradictory) perspectives on a film expose. John Herreid observes that Miramax uses anti-Catholic prejudice to promote its product. Michael Rose concedes that the portrayal is controversial, but argues that the institutionalized cruelty of the Magdalene Laundries was a scandal that shook the faith of many Irish Catholics.
A Vision That Inspires: From Australia, Michael Gilchrist reports on how young laymen have discovered a different approach to the "new evangelization." The Carnivale Christi festivals promote the Gospel by promoting acquaintance with the Christian tradition in the arts.
The Lost Shepherd: A bishop who left the priesthood was welcomed back by his American colleagues. James Hitchcock notes that other American bishops showed no concern for the damage caused by his public dissent.
Religious Persecution Next?: A new "hate crime" law bars Christians from speaking out against homosexuality. John-Henry Westen foresees a crackdown on Christian preachers.
Two and No More: India's highest court has upheld a state law penalizing parents who have more than two children. Anto Akkara observes that India's family-planning policies had moved away from harsh quotas; now the pendulum seems to be swinging back.
Phil Lawler's editorial, No Complaints: For Christians, public criticism should sometimes be recognized as a blessing.
And Diogenes' Last Word, Schism? Impossible: An anti-ecumenical philippic.
