The call from the Cathedral Supporting Worcester bishop's stand for Catholic identity, chastity, & the culture of life
I begin my talk at Worcester's St. Paul's Cathedral last week. More video clips below.

"The event promoted the type of Catholic approach to the problem of teen pregnancy that Holy Cross might have chosen to remain faithful to its Catholic identity and was held in cooperation with the Worcester Diocese’s Respect Life Office and a broad coalition of Holy Cross alumni and supporters.
"Miss Eden, Director of The Cardinal Newman Society’s Love & Responsibility program and author of The Thrill of the Chaste, delivered a speech entitled 'Preventing Teen Pregnancy: The Catholic Approach.'"
It was deeply moving for me to see such a large crowd turn out (some from as far away as Cambridge, Mass., and Providence, R.I.) to show support for Diocese of Worcester Bishop Robert J. McManus, who had issued a strongly worded statement urging Holy Cross to cancel its Planned Parenthood/NARAL-affiliated conference.
