Newspapers in Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Mississippi, Kansas and Alaska ran the story. Catholic New York and Catholic Trends in Washington, D.C., were two of the newspapers that printed a Catholic News Service story on an address by the Rev. Gustavo Gutierrez, recipient of the 1997 Marianist Award. He noted that those without economic resources are likely to be left behind in the Information Age. The story ran in Catholic newspapers in 23 states. News that Monsignor Owen Campion received the 1997 Daniel J. Kane Award from the University of Dayton was printed in the Tennessee Register , the diocesan newspaper in Nashville.
Campion is a former editor of the paper.
The CNS story on the award also appeared in Catholic newspapers in New York, Connecticut and North Carolina. The Tampa Tribune featured the Marian Library and its Mary Page on the Web in a story on Mary devotees. She belongs to everyone. Maclean's , a 570,000-circulation weekly in Toronto, turned to Father Johann Roten, S.M., director of the International Marian Research Institute, for background on the Catholic Church's procedures for verifying apparitions. With nearly 8,000 reported apparitions of Mary over the centuries, it's understandable that the church is cautious about accepting the authenticity of visions of Mary, he said.
