I first want to thank you for doing such a good job of publishing articles and letters which were aimed at helping Catholics make an informed choice in the past election.

Lay faithful should promote ‘Cardinal Parishes’
To the editor:
Since the elections, there has been a great deal of analysis of what the bishops did or did not do, especially about pro-life issues, but the truth is: bishops do what the bishops do. Our job is to do what we are to do, which includes improving the spiritual opportunities and atmosphere of our parishes.
Church in public arena: prays, teaches, speaks out
Several readers of the Catholic Herald contacted our office last week expressing dismay that our paper carried Catholic News Service articles about Catholic bishops and Pope Benedict XVI congratulating President-elect Barack Obama and offering prayers for him. The readers seemed to think the articles indicated an endorsement of Obama and all of his views, particularly his support of abortion rights and embryonic stem-cell research.
Bishop can’t compromise on Church teachings
To the editor:
In his letter on November 6, Wayne Sigelko seems to imply that Bishop Robert C. Morlino will water down and compromise the dogmatic teachings of the Catholic Church to please the followers of the schismatic underground American Catholic Church. Dream on!
Congratulatory words not appropriate with Obama
To the editor:
It is with utter shock and disgust that as lifetime Catholics, we received in our mail the November 13th edition of your paper and viewed the headline, “Catholics congratulate Obama, offer prayers for administration.”
Government should have less hand in health care
To the editor:
This is in response to Tony Magliano’s column in the November 6 edition of the Catholic Herald: “We the people must go beyond elections.”
Questions for Congress about the economy
To the editor:
I would like some answers to these questions:
Why is it okay for Congress to give 700 plus billion dollars to banks and corporations that made poor financial decisions?
There is still time to protest Freedom of Choice Act
To the editor:
I read the article by Bishop Jerome E. Listecki in the November 6, 2008, edition of the Catholic Herald. In particular his comments on the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) were a call to action. Please review his article to grasp the nefarious nature of this act.
Americans are still ‘values’ voters
After almost two years of campaigning, the 2008 presidential election is finally over. A clear majority of voters selected Barack Obama as our 44th president, the first African American to hold our nation’s highest office.
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).
