‘Several aspects to being pro-life’
‘Abortion is the preeminent moral issue’
Casting our votes on November 3
This is my first and will be my only letter to the community. The upcoming election will be very important, as all elections are. I’m hoping that there won’t be untruths, name-calling, violence, and disrespect during the campaign.
My main reason for the letter is to convey the importance of life. There seems to be a total disregard for this important subject: violence, rioting, looting, shootings and killings in neighborhoods across the country, wars, and abortions.During this challenging time, I have found it difficult to reconcile my faith and what I’ve heard from some in the Church.
This has caused me distress to the point where I’ve asked myself if I belong in the Church.
As I searched, Peter’s words came to mind, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”In the upcoming November 3 election there is only one thing that really matters and that is the “Right to Life” of all people.
Sure, I agree that “black lives matter,” but “all lives matter”.
If I may quote Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, “however, the right to life position is, in one sense, not about an ‘issue’ at all. Nor are those who hold it ‘single issue voters.'”Dear Editor:
September 13 to 19 is National Assisted Living Week.
This annual observance was established by The National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) as a way to celebrate those who choose this type of living option and the caring, dedicated staff members who serve them; and to educate the general public about the importance and benefits of this type of long term care.
This year’s theme is “Caring is Essential.”To the editor:
Thank you for spreading the word abut the Memorial Statue in Resurrection Ceremony.
What a powerful, beautiful way to invite those who have lost unborn children in a variety of tragic manners to privately pray, grieve, and remember their children.
I would also like to salute Mary Mead who has spent several decades being a true ambassador of Christ’s love to these women and men.For those of you out there wanting to know more about the new guy, the above headline of my first official editorial may give you some hint as to my personality and interests — I’m an old movie fan.
In taking this position at the Catholic Herald, there was no way I was going to let an opportunity pass by to quote the line from Citizen Kane — “I think it would be fun to run a newspaper”.
Those that have seen the 1941 classic know the line, and I certainly hope my fate later in life is not isolation in my own “Xanadu”-like castle.
For those of you who haven’t seen the movie yet, you should.
After 47 years on the Catholic Herald staff, including 34 years as editor, Mary C. Uhler will be retiring as of July 6.
MADISON — Mary Uhler, editor of the Catholic Herald-Diocese of Madison, announces that Kevin Wondrash has been promoted to assistant editor of the paper.
He replaces Pam Payne, who retired in January after over 45 years on the newspaper’s staff.
“While serving as our reporter, Kevin has trained with Pam to do work on the production and outputting of pages we send to the printer along with other jobs such as posting articles and photos to our website,” said Uhler.
MADISON — A retirement party was held on Friday, Jan. 17, for Pam Payne, associate editor of the Catholic Herald of the Diocese of Madison.
Pam started working for the diocesan paper on October 28, 1974, about a year after current editor Mary Uhler started.
Pam began as a part-time “gal Friday’ and moved on to work full-time as assistant editor and then associate editor.
