Daily Links, April 2: You heard it here first!

Proving that U.S. Catholic is hip, cool, and with it (or at least on top of popular subjects du jour):

Our April issue included a story on the harmful impacts of mountaintop removal [1]. Today, The Atlantic talks about negative health consequences of fracking [2], another process considered envrionmentally controversial.

In March, we ran a feature on gay and lesbian Catholics [3] and their relationship to the church. Today, Religion Dispatches examines the status of gays and lesbians on Catholic university campuses [4], while we hear in the news that in Austria, a cardinal overruled a priest [5] who had disallowed a gay man to serve on the parish council.

We've posed the question: What's keeping young adults out of church? [6] In Trenton, NJ, a recent survey asked people why they had left the church [7].

On our blog, we've discussed the sad story of Trayvon Martin [8]. Here's an article on the elusiveness of accountability [9] for police officers who have shot young black males.

Be sure to check out our Holy Week special section! [10]
