Dr. John Joy |
When it was announced on August 2 that Pope Francis had approved a change to the text of the Catechism, it was widely reported in the news media that the Church had changed her teaching on the death penalty.

Annual Catholic Appeal gives back
When the Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) began in 2009, the Diocese of Madison had hopes of being able to give back to diocesan parishes and parish schools through grants from the funds received over the goal amount.
The 2015 ACA was the first year this reality came to fruition, and now again with the 2017 ACA surpassing its goal, grants were able to be enacted.
