Carr noted that when the Clinton admin- istration was hostile to debt relief for the world’s poorest nations and most of Congress was indifferent or opposed to it, “people said we were crazy” when Catholic social action leaders joined forces with bish- ops and other religious leaders and humani- tarian groups, and fought for debt relief. “Then, to the surprise of virtually every- one, the United States forgave its entire bilateral debt for the poorest countries of the world, and even more surprising, Congress appropriated hundreds of millions of dollars to multilateral debt relief,” he said. Participants in the Golden Jubilee celebration of Father Edward M. Faller gather on July 12, 1896, in front of the rectory of St. Mary Parish in New Albany. The debt relief task is not done yet, he Father Edmund Schmitt, who wrote a history of the parish, is the second person on the left from the priest in the long cope in the foreground. said, “but no one thought we had a prayer and we took our principles, our ideas, our presence and our passion, and we made a difference.” New Albany parish uncovers its history “Just this last year, there was going to be By Brandon A.
