From Our Store: Witness of Suffering (eBook)

The December issue of Catholic World Report is now and newsstands and here's what you will find inside:

The Coming Conclave: What to expect from the next papal election. CWR examines the powers and personalities, voting blocs and individual prelates who could shape discussions at the next conclave.
Calcutta Honors Its Own: Two weeks after the beatification ceremonies that drew 300,000 people to Rome, the city of Calcutta staged a 9-day festival to celebrate the life of Mother Teresa. We offer an exclusive photo essay of the event.
The First Of His Kind: A remote and often neglected tribal region of India exploded with pride and joy after the appointment of its first cardinal, delighted that the Vatican has recognized a growing Catholic presence. CWR correspondent Anto Akkara was on hand for the celebration, and spoke to the new cardinal.
The Catholic Liturgy: What Happened? What Needs To Be Done?: Dom Alcuin Reid, OSB, explains why the Catholic Liturgy must be understood not as a subjective experience, but as an objective and eternal truth.
New Developments On Stories Featured In Catholic World Report: A sexually explicit program moves forward in Boston's archdiocesan schools, despite protests from parents and at least one determined pastor. Terri Schiavo lives on, thanks to last-minute legislative intervention. And the University of Dallas is suddenly looking for a new president after a period of turmoil.
The Hard Hope Of Christmas: Mark Shea reflects that the Christian life is never easy, but Christ comes just at the darkest time of the year.
Personally Opposed, But…: Can you name the first prominent American Catholic who announced that he could not impose his conscience on his fellow citizens? Diogenes may have found him. And he was not a professional politician.
And Phil Lawler's Editorial: Europe's Cultural Suicide ... And Ours?: Christianity is the only force that can hold together a crumbling civilization, even as the political alliance of 21st-century Europe discards the Christian culture that is the basis of Western Civilization.
