Sociologist discusses harmful effects of sexual revolution
MADISON — In three lectures given surrounding the St. Thérèse of Lisieux Lecture Series on October 23 and 24 in Madison, W. Bradford Wilcox discussed the effects of the sexual revolution on marriage, the family, and society.
Finding answers in Christ’s light
Central Standard Time and Sunday morning recently had one of their twice yearly encounters.
Remembering to set the clock back and getting to Mass on time is always a pleasant accomplishment in spite of now having to turn the lights on a little earlier.
School planning underway
The Steering Committee (for Comprehensive Schools Planning) met for a second time on October 14 and assembled in four teams, each of which will lead one of the four areas of our study and planning.
All Catholics must follow basic tenets of the Church
To the editor:
This is in response to the “letter of protest” recently published in the Wisconsin State Journal. This letter was written by priests, religious, and laity who openly challenged the judgment and authority of Bishop Morlino.
Knights’ mission vital today
To the editor:
I was very pleased to read the article in the Madison Catholic Herald about Bishop Robert C. Morlino addressing the Knights and Ladies of the North Central Lieutenancy of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem at the recent annual meeting of the Order held in Milwaukee on “Knights and Ladies as Moral Force in Society” (October 23, 2008, issue).
A powerful message of hope
At least one baby in Madison — and 441 other unborn babies — were reported to be saved from abortion as a result of the 40 Days for Life vigil held in more than 175 communities around the country from September 24 to November 2.
Bishops should dialogue with people they serve
To the editor:
A mid-October poll by the Pew Research Center shows that, nationally, 55 percent of Catholics are supporting Obama compared to 35 percent for John McCain. One would guess that the proportion in Madison is the same or even somewhat higher, given the moderate to progressive politics of most Catholics in the diocese.
