You may choose the political figure of your choice, but I hope we can reflect on words such as those that Robert Kennedy made on that night in 1968 when Dr. King was shot, as he said, “What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another.”

Take bishop’s words to heart
One of the first things Bishop Robert C. Morlino did after becoming Bishop of Madison was to promulgate a Policy Regarding Abuse of Minors, Sexual Misconduct, and Sexual Harassment on November 6, 2003. It was revised in 2016, and copies of this policy are available on the diocesan website (www.madisondiocese.org).
Bishop Morlino has been vigilant in following the U.S. Catholic Bishops’ Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People issued in 2002. In that document, the bishops reaffirmed the obligation of all involved with the Church to “protect young people and to prevent sexual abuse” since this “flows from the mission and example given to us by Jesus Christ himself.”
