In praise of family albums
I have recently received a most precious gift in the mail. It was sent by my niece, Lisa, who had just buried her father, Pete, my brother-in-law.
The moment I opened the outer box and saw the soiled, yellow-white box inside, I knew what it was: my mother’s photo album. Pictures from the first half of the 20th century!
Appointments (Jan. 21, 2010 edition)
Bishop Robert C. Morlino has announced the following, effective immediately:
Court ruled in Roe vs. Wade like in Dred Scott decision
To the editor:
The anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision is approaching. How many Christians realize that the Roe vs. Wade decision in content was a similar and related version of the Dred Scott decision? The Dred Scott decision maintained that members of the “Negroid Race” were no longer human.
The Roe vs. Wade decision in 1973 maintained that the unborn babies of all races suddenly were no longer human. But years after the Dred Scott decision, it was maintained that members of the “Negroid Race” are human.
Catholics should not turn their backs on the Truth
To the editor:
Recently a local attorney announced in a Wisconsin State Journal letter to the editor that he had quit the Catholic Church after 22 years because he was dissatisfied about a lack of preaching the Gospel.
Pro-life persistence does pay off
Mother Teresa has been quoted as saying, “I do not pray for success; I pray for faithfulness.” Many people in the pro-life movement haven’t seen much success in the past 37 years, but they have continued to be faithful in fighting for the lives of unborn babies.
The January 22, 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe vs. Wade which legalized abortion set in motion a fierce debate in this country. The court decision has not been overturned, but there are signs of hope as we begin the year 2010.
Rosary for the Bishop goes national
Rosary for the Bishop, which started in Madison encouraging people to pray for Bishop Robert C. Morlino, has expanded to include all Catholic bishops in the United States.
