After mail balloting, the final vote of 231-14, with one abstention, was announced on Aug. 5 in a letter to bishops from Msgr. David Malloy, USCCB general secretary. The change, which must be confirmed by the Vatican Congregation for Clergy, would remove from the catechism a sentence that reads: “Thus the covenant that God made with the Jewish people through Moses remains eternally valid for them.” In June, a group of students danced during St. Aloysius Day festivities, part of the celebration at St. Aloysius Gonzaga High School in Kenya.

  • LIFE Portfolio Course Moves Beyond Class Experience to Support
    Spring 2015 Greetings from Hoffmann Hall! During this past academic year the Division of Business and Economics undertook two new initiatives. The first is described in our lead story. Students from across campus benefited from the investing acumen of our finance majors by being awarded a portion of the proceeds gained though the Loras Investment Fund for the Endowment (LIFE) portfolio class. The second initiative was the creation of faculty-led discussion groups. These groups provided students an opportunity to consider the impact that Catholic Social Teaching can have on their lives. Through the generosity of a benefactor, this semester’s CST initiative will bring two noted scholars to campus: Dr. Andrew Abela of Catholic University, and Dr. Patrick Murphy, from the University of Notre Dame. I believe you will find this issue of our newsletter very informative—filled with news of exciting activities and meaningful student accomplishments. As always, I entreat you to join our LinkedIn member group. It is a great way to stay connected to your school and its alumni. Be More. Be Loras. --Dr. Doug Gambralll, Ed.D.

  • 2018 Iowa Religious Leaders Statement on Climate Change
    We can no longer wait… 2018 Iowa Religious Leaders Statement on Climate Change Global climate change is one of the most pressing moral challenges facing our world. Today, we call on Iowans to find and implement solutions to climate change. As religious leaders representing diverse faith traditions in Iowa, we offer the following shared, core beliefs that compel, empower, and guide faithful action. As people of faith: • We must act to solve climate change because it threatens our brothers and sisters in our neighborhoods, throughout our state, across our country, and around the world. We are all neighbors put at risk by a changing climate. • We can find solutions to climate change by embracing a spirit of hope. Earth sustains our lives. Creation provides a world of abundance. This abundance offers us the path out of our dependence on fossil fuels and the environmental destruction associated with greenhouse gas pollution. • We know climate justice requires we bear each other’s burdens equitably. It is not fair that climate change is affecting most those who are vulnerable and least able to adapt: the poor, the young, the elderly, the sick, and those living in developing countries. Solutions to climate change will unleash new economic opportunities the benefits of which must be shared equitably. • We are required to work with nature to find solutions to climate change. We are part of nature, not independent from it. Our call to be stewards of the Earth, to care for creation that nourishes us all, demands we work with nature rather than against it and share our first fruits with those who need them most.
