Support adult stem cell research, not embryonic
To the editor:
Stand Up To Cancer, a one hour television program, aired September 10. The teamwork of scientists and doctors from many institutes have benefited cancer survivors.
The most inspiring, truthful words were spoken by a doctor who said that Steve Hall survived his brain cancer because of a “vaccine made from his own brain tumor!” His own adult stem cells allowed his body cells to “cure himself.” Please re-read this last sentence. It is adult stem cells that have cured multiple diseases, not embryonic stem cells obtained from embryos (human babies).

Happy birthday, Catholic Charities: Celebrating 100 years of caring and service
At one time, the Catholic Herald newspaper shared offices with Catholic Social Service (now Catholic Charities). Our offices were located in the rectory building at St. Patrick Church in downtown Madison.
Because of our proximity, I was able to witness first-hand many of the programs and services provided. In fact, sometimes when the Catholic Social Service staff were too busy, I got to hold babies brought in for adoption. I can still remember the cute outfits one of the foster mothers made for these babies, including a little witch costume for Halloween one year.

Regalos del verano de la renovación sacerdotal

Queridos amigos,
“De vuelta al colegio” y el “Día del Trabajo” significan para mí, entre otras cosas, estar de nuevo con mi columna con la regularidad que es posible en cada semana. Gracias a Dios, el verano fue para mí un tiempo de serena renovación sacerdotal. Por supuesto, hay problemas en la diócesis o en alguna parroquia que requieren la atención del obispo, y esa atención siempre está disponible. La gracia de la Oficina del Obispo me apoyó hermosamente en este verano de renovación sacerdotal y me gustaría ahora trazar el camino de esa renovación para esta primera columna luego del Día del Trabajo.
Los dos puntos importantes al principio del verano fueron dos celebraciones de ordenación: la ordenación del P. David Carrano y P. Gregory Ihm al sacerdocio, y la ordenación del diácono Jorge Miramontes y el diácono Tim Renz al diaconado: ¡qué bendición tendremos el próximo verano con la ordenación de los diáconos Renz y Miramontes al sacerdocio de Jesucristo!
