Edgerton area will have new hospital

Government involvement in health care open to debate
To the editor:
Regarding Tony Magliano’s column on healthcare reform, “Health care: Yes! Abortion: No!,” in the December 10 issue of the Catholic Herald:
He is correct in stating that “universal access to quality medical care is part of the Church’s social doctrine.” On this, there can be no question. However, how that “universal access to quality medical care” is provided is a legitimate subject of debate for Catholics. No one way is the “right” way, endorsed by the Church.

Dreaming of a truly ‘green’ Christmas
Dear Friends,
As we hear the sounds of “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” so frequently in the background these days, our national and even global attention has been focused on matters “green” in terms of the events that have taken place in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the Climate Change Conference.
The loving service of Religious Sisters in the missions
In thinking about Christmas, children are immediately brought to mind. So many children in the missions tragically live with immense suffering and violence, even war and all that comes with it. Other children in the developing world face extraordinary poverty and its related challenges.
But thanks to the work and witness of religious Sisters, these mission children also come to experience what sustains us — the message of God’s great love for us, the “Good News” proclaimed by the angels that first Christmas.
