Sex education led to sex trafficking
In response to the article on “Sex trafficking in Madison is a sobering reality” by Vicky Franchino, sex trafficking was a predictable outcome of sex education in our grade schools, high schools, and colleges for the last 60 years.
Programs to help disabled children should not be cut
If we’re concerned about respecting the lives of children both before and after birth, we should oppose proposed cuts to federal programs helping disabled children.
The Trump administration’s budget proposal is seeking to cut $7 billion in the 2020 education budget.
Important Wisconsin Supreme Court election to be held on April 2
To the editor:
There will be an election on April 2 in which Wisconsinites will choose a new member of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Of the two candidates, there is only one who has respect for the God-given and constitutional right to life at all stages, and the right to worship without persecution.
As most people know, abortion advocates in many states are quickly moving to have abortion legal until after the birth of the child — that is infanticide! Cases have occurred where babies born alive due to a failed abortion are denied basic care and left to die.

On April 2, there is a state-wide election in Wisconsin. Offices on the ballot are justice of the state Supreme Court, Court of Appeals judge (Districts 2, 3, and 4), and Circuit Court judge in several counties. There are also candidates for local offices.
State Supreme Court election
Perhaps one of the most important elections is one new justice for the state Supreme Court. This court is the highest appellate court in Wisconsin.
The court has seven justices, who are selected in nonpartisan elections for 10-year terms. The court has jurisdiction over all other Wisconsin courts and can also hear original actions.
With Supreme Court justices serving such a long term, voters should be vigilant to study where the candidates stand on the issues they value.
Responsibility to vote
As Catholics we have both a right and a responsibility to vote.
Even Pope Francis has encouraged people to be involved. “We need to participate for the common good. Sometimes we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best of themselves so that the leader can govern,” the Holy Father said.
Tragedy may lead to interfaith solidarity
Maybe out of tragedy, the world might find some good, if outcries against the attacks at two mosques in New Zealand have shown.
Pope Francis expressed sorrow for the attacks, which left at least 50 people dead and dozens more injured. Speaking to people gathered in St. Peter’s Square on March 17, the Holy Father said, “I pray for the dead and injured and their families. I am close to our Muslim brothers and all that community. I renew my invitation for prayer and gestures of peace to combat hatred and violence.”
Both Pope Francis and everyone in the square observed a moment of silence for the victims.

Following in the footsteps of Jesus and Mary
During Lent, many of us like to participate in the Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross or, in Latin, the Via Crucis.
It consists of a number of “stations” along which we can retrace the footsteps of Jesus Christ during his passion and death.
