Cardinal Schönborn: "If the request for a blessing is honest, if it is truly the request for God's blessing for the life path that these two people, in whatever condition they find themselves in, are trying to make, then this blessing will not be denied." ncronline.org/news/vatican/a…

Ida B. Wells, who died March 25, 1931, was born into slavery in MS. She went on to become a tireless champion of racial justice, particularly in documenting and exposing the practice of lynching. For a hundred years Congress has failed to pass a federal anti-lynching law.
