(In order to) have faith that if a person has certification then they are in fact ready and able to teach.

If we are well-connected to the schools, we're going to have a better understanding of what students will need as teachers.

That's driven by the recognition that research says that the most important factor in students' achievement is the effectiveness of the teacher.

We launched Condoms4Life to educate young Catholics, as well as gay and straight couples, about what we think our faith demands of us: Responsibility. We see St. Valentine's Day, a day representing love and passion for many couples, as the perfect time to remind people that the culture of life means affirming responsible and just sexual behavior-especially for those who are at risk of contracting AIDS. We call on the bishops to join us in this campaign to promote a culture of life and protect the lives and health of the countless men, women and children who are at risk of HIV/AIDS.

Zeal was like gas, most dangerous when you could not see it. The wrong spark could light it at any time.

It's a slam-dunk order. The government can't pick and choose which faith it's going to prefer.
