To the editor:
I read with interest your Editor’s View column for the week of February 4.
I know printed articles are expensive to do. However, I really sincerely hope that you do not do everything online in the future.
I like the newspaper version and read it every week.
To the editor:
Fr. John Zuhlsdorf’s recent columns on the Pontifical Mass create a very nervous Catholic here. It feels as though these columns are opening shots on banning the Novus Ordo Mass celebrations here in the Diocese of Madison. Or imposing the use of Latin.
I much prefer the Roman Rite Novus Ordo to the other. I do not hope in the least for any return to the other form. I recall the Mass before Vatican II and not with any joy. Mass then was cold and isolated people.
This year I didn’t care which team won the Super Bowl. So while I did watch most of the football game, I perhaps paid more attention to the commercials.
One of the commercials that caught my eye was one for Doritos. It featured a pregnant woman having a sonogram in a hospital. The screen showed a picture of the baby inside her womb.
The father of the baby was eating Doritos. The baby’s arms started to move towards a chip and the baby actually came out of the womb to get his own chip.

Wisconsin’s pro-life advocates need to be contacting their legislators in the immediate future as the 2016 Legislative Floor Session will end the last part of February according to news reports.
Since September, Assembly Bill 305 — the Baby Body Parts Bill — has been languishing in the Assembly Rules Committee chaired by Representative Jim Steineke.
To the editor:
Thank you God that we still have people here on earth who have a conscience and won’t sign this form (reference to Little Sisters of the Poor article on their refusal to sign the Health and Human Services’ Contraception Mandate, February 4 Catholic Herald).
Why have Catholics not signed a petition to abolish this mandate? Why is this the first I have heard of this? Why is it kept from us to see?
We’ve been inundated with presidential election news for many months, but most of the activity has been happening in other states.
Soon the election process will get underway in Wisconsin. In our state, the spring primary election will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 16. This primary is for nonpartisan state and local candidates.
The spring election and presidential preference vote (presidential primary) will be held on Tuesday, April 5.
These days, people get their news from many sources. Much of what we read and hear is biased opinions, conjecture, or hearsay. It may be difficult to get to the truth of a matter.
When it comes to news about the Catholic Church and its teachings, Catholics also need sources that they can trust. That’s why the Catholic press is more important than ever today.
To the editor:
In the January 28 issue of the Catholic Herald, a letter from Paul Richgels accuses Pope Francis of falsely interpreting Scripture when our successor of Peter said all people are children of the same God.
Ex 1:27 says, “God created man in his image, in the divine image he created him, male and female he created him.”
There are not two kinds of people: those created by God and those who are not. God created all of us as his children and loved us so much that he gave us the free will to choose to reciprocate his love!

Home Health United (HHU)-Janesville would like to thank everyone who went above and beyond in answering our call for help for donations of lap blankets for our hospice patients.
As of now, Janesville and its surrounding communities have donated more than 100 lap blankets for our hospice patients. We have received so many blankets the office is overflowing!
There has been so much senseless violence in our country and throughout the world, but the shooting of a five-year-old boy in Beloit, Wis., on January 22 brought tears to my eyes.
Austin Ramos, Jr., was riding in the back seat of his father’s car when an SUV pulled up alongside the car and someone opened fire. The boy was shot and died at a local hospital. So far, there have been no arrests. Authorities are still looking for the perpetrator.
