On this the 200th anniversary of the birth of President Lincoln, all Americans should give thanks for the many good presidents our nation has had, and pray for the current President, that he will rise to the office, and without regard to special interests provide for the common good of all Americans.
To the best of my knowledge, Bishop Malooly of Wilmington, DE, has produced the only pastoral letter ever written about a President of the United States, or any civil official not canonized. You can read it on the diocesan website.
Remembering President Lincoln
Welcome to SPQR, the blog of the Senate and the People of Rome (Senatus Populusque Romanus). Okay, I’m about 1600 years too late, but better late than never, right? This handle reflects my interest in res romana (the Roman thing, whether of the City or the Church), and res publica (the public thing, whether of politics or culture). Hopefully, it will be both enlightening and entertaining.
