Editorial: Take the lead on health care as a right
We say: Breathe a sigh of relief for the American people. For now, Obamacare is safe. But then let's roll up our sleeves for the next battle.

Editorial: Health care is not a 'choice'
We say: Health care is a fundamental human right — Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI used those very words — alongside water, food and education.
Editorial: What we celebrate about this pontificate
We say: Our enthusiasm for the model that Amoris Laetitia gives us does not blind us to the challenges our church faces.
Editorial: Join the work of transformation
We say: The bishops in the crowd that met in the California high school showed what the “accompaniment” so often advocated by Francis actually looks like.
Editorial: Clergy culture sustains sex abuse scandal
We say: We are at a crucial point when it comes to the issue of clergy sex abuse. Yes, the buck stops with Pope Francis, but the burden is also on everyone inside the Vatican to address it.
Editorial: Keep the Johnson Amendment
We say: Repealing the Johnson Amendment would inevitably tarnish the church by subjecting it even more to the temptation to politicize the Gospel.
Editorial: The rarer Christian courage
In a 2005 NCR editorial, we wrote: "Certainly, the Dorothy Stangs from America are fewer now. Where once there were many hundreds, there are now but a few score, a few dozen."
Editorial: Ohio's halt in executions is welcome
We say: Recent cases bolster arguments that the Supreme Court should reconsider not only its ruling on midazolam, but on all executions, no matter what methods are used.
Editorial: Trump has inspired a growing opposition
We say: President Donald Trump is forcing us to consider ourselves in ways and at levels unprecedented in modern U.S. politics.
Editorial: Our task for the next four years
We say: We must dig deep into our Catholic social teachings to re-establish our foundations. We must stand with the working class, the elderly, children and the poor.
