Archbishop right on nuclear weapons
To the editor:
As we commemorate the horrors of nuclear war and the deaths of thousands of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, it is particularly hopeful to hear Archbishop Edwin O’Brien of Baltimore (former Archbishop for the Military Services) speak on Catholic social teaching regarding nuclear weapons and their use as deterrents.

Alumni need to step forward to support Catholic schools
The start of the new school year is just around the corner. Soon over two million children will be going back to school at over 7,000 Catholic elementary and secondary schools throughout the United States.
The past year (2008-2009) saw a 3.5 percent decrease in enrollment in Catholic schools in our country, according to figures released by the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA). There were 78,382 fewer students than the previous academic year.
La Solemnidad de la Asunción de María

Queridos amigos,
Mientras les escribo esta columna nos vamos preparando para la Solemnidad de la Asunción de María nuestra Santa Madre, quien “habiendo completado el curso de su vida terrena, fue asunta en cuerpo y alma a la gloria celestial”, como escribiera el Papa Pío XII en la Constitución Apostólica Munificentissimus Deus.
La Solemnidad de la Asunción es un testamento no solo del tremendo amor que Dios le tiene a la Madre Bendita, sino también un poderoso recordatorio del amor que Jesucristo ha mostrado por todos nosotros, al conquistar la muerte mediante Su propia muerte.
Solemnity of the Assumption
Dear Friends,
As I write this column we are preparing for the celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, when the Blessed Mother, “having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory,” as was written by Pope Pius XII in his Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus.
The Solemnity of the Assumption is a testament not only to the tremendous love which God has for the Blessed Mother, but also a powerful reminder of the love which Jesus Christ has demonstrated for all of us, in conquering death through His death.

Queridos amigos,
Gracias a Dios y gracias a ustedes, mis hermanos sacerdotes, diáconos, a nuestras hermanas religiosas y a toda nuestra familia diocesana por su apoyo y oraciones durante estos días. Mi periodo de descanso por la arritmia cardiaca casi llega a su término. Espero con ansias ordenar a nuestros tres nuevos sacerdotes de la Sociedad de Jesucristo Sacerdote, para nuestra diócesis, este viernes. Con las ordenaciones, este día será de gran alegría para mí y, Dios mediante, le hará bien a mi corazón. Sin embargo, debo decir, estoy especialmente contento por estar de vuelta con esta ocasional forma de comunicación.
Diocese to have four new priests serving its people
MADISON — Bishop Robert C. Morlino joyfully announces the ordination of Deacons John Patrick Blewett, Osvaldo Briones Césped, and George Alexander Navarro Sáenz, all members of the Society of Jesus Christ the Priest, to the Sacred Order of Priests, this Friday, July 31, at 5:30 p.m., at the Bishop O’Connor Catholic Pastoral Center in Madison.
Through the laying on of hands and the prayer of consecration these three men will be ontologically transformed into priests, called to attend no longer to their own concerns, but to those of Christ and to those of the people of God.
State Supreme Court rules in favor of Church in employment case
The Wisconsin Supreme Court released its decision on July 21 on the matter of Coulee Catholic Schools vs. Labor and Industry Review Commission (LIRC), reversing the Court of Appeals’ decision and remanding the case back to the circuit court for dismissal.
The importance of moral absolutes
When Pope Benedict XVI visited the United States in April of 2008, I had the chance to attend the opening ceremony at the White House South Lawn.
As I listened to President Bush’s welcoming remarks to the pope, I was caught off guard by one line in particular, a powerful statement that seemed almost too philosophical to be spoken by a United States president: “In a world where some no longer believe that we can distinguish between simple right and wrong, we need your message to reject this dictatorship of relativism and embrace a culture of justice and truth.”
