Here at NCR, we pick a "Catholic of the Year." At Our Sunday Visitor, they pick several Catholics of the year, and their list this year is a fine one. They rightly call attention to Bishop Kevin Farrell of Dallas, who not only joined his fellow bishops in providing shelter and legal assistance to undocumented and unaccompanied minors coming across the border this summer, but who also provided for the family of a man stricken with Ebola. And, OSV's list includes Hosffman Ospino, Boston College's extraordinary professor of theology who is fast becoming the nation's leading expert on the Latino influence in the Church in the U.S. All the others selected are very worthy candidates and OSV is to be commended for giving recognition to them. There is a lot of good news in the Church called to preach the Good News.
