With the recent announcement of the closing of the Catholic Multicultural Center (CMC) in Madison, some people have been quoted in the media as questioning the Catholic Church’s concern for the poor. They are certainly misinformed if they think that the Church does not care for the poor.

Thank you from St. Vincent’s
To the editor:
We at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul appreciate the time and interest of the more than 625 volunteers, members, donors, other supporters, and members of the general public who visited the new Center for Vincentian Charity during our grand-opening and dedication events May 27 to 31. Our new center, at 2033 Fish Hatchery Rd. in the town of Madison, is home to Dane County’s largest and busiest food pantry. We began serving people in need at this location on February 2, but second-phase construction — adjoining warehouse and dock space — was completed just last month.
Obama likely planning pro-abortion health care reform legislation
To the editor:
Democratic congressional leaders are working with the Obama White House behind closed doors to craft federal health care legislation which Obama has pledged will contain expansive pro-abortion provisions. Pro-abortion organizations consider abortion mandates as a part of health care reform to be one of their top priorities.
Follow-up on Lacey’s Law
To the editor:
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement for my daughter Lacey. We miss her every hour of every day. The sadness we feel cannot be put into words.
Summer attire at church
We’re finally enjoying some warmer weather in Wisconsin after a long winter.
As the temperatures rise, naturally people start dressing with lighter clothes. What does that mean for our choice of clothing for church?
Obama should not be invited to speak at a Catholic university
To the editor:
We object to the position taken in the editorial in the May 14 issue of the Catholic Herald regarding Obama and the invitation to speak at Notre Dame University. That a person who supports abortion and sees contraception as prevention to abortion should speak at a Catholic university is wholly unacceptable and in opposition to Catholic teaching.
On abortion issue, Church is right and president is wrong
To the editor:
During President Obama’s commencement address at Notre Dame University, he said he and the Catholic Church were at an impasse. He claims that a woman should have the right to have an innocent and defenseless human being killed — a right no other member of a civilized society has.
Catholicism has fallen into heresy
To the editor: […]
Let’s take action on Lacey’s Law
A mother was returning from an ice-skating competition with her 14-year-old daughter in their car. As a mother of a former figure skating (who’s now a coach), I can imagine the two of them chatting about the competition: how well the skaters did, whether they should have placed better, what they could improve on the next time.
Stem-cell reversal shows culture’s devaluing of life
To the editor:
I am writing in response to the article, “Leaders criticize reversal of stem-cell policy,” in the March 19 issue of the Catholic Herald. I am in agreement that President Obama should not be supporting federal funding of research for embryonic stem-cells.
