To the editor:
Grateful thanks to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops who, at their recent meeting, recognized the dangers of the so-called Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) and spoke passionately in opposition. Stopping FOCA is of the utmost priority and necessity. Why? Because FOCA places women and unborn babies in peril, silences your voices, and ignores your values.
To the editor:
I first want to thank you for doing such a good job of publishing articles and letters which were aimed at helping Catholics make an informed choice in the past election.
To the editor:
Since the elections, there has been a great deal of analysis of what the bishops did or did not do, especially about pro-life issues, but the truth is: bishops do what the bishops do. Our job is to do what we are to do, which includes improving the spiritual opportunities and atmosphere of our parishes.
MADISON — St. Ambrose Academy is busily preparing for its biggest fundraiser of the year, a gala Christmas celebration with Bishop Robert C. Morlino, including a festive gourmet dinner and silent auction.
“St. Ambrose Academy continues to do outstanding work in the academic, spiritual, and personal formation of young people,” said Bishop Morlino.
“This event offers us a great opportunity not only to support an excellent, young, Catholic institution, but also to come together to celebrate a great Saint of the Church, and to cheer on some future saints. I welcome all of you to join us for what promises to be another great evening with the ‘chefs’ of St. Ambrose!”
To the editor:
In his letter on November 6, Wayne Sigelko seems to imply that Bishop Robert C. Morlino will water down and compromise the dogmatic teachings of the Catholic Church to please the followers of the schismatic underground American Catholic Church. Dream on!
To the editor:
It is with utter shock and disgust that as lifetime Catholics, we received in our mail the November 13th edition of your paper and viewed the headline, “Catholics congratulate Obama, offer prayers for administration.”
To the editor:
This is in response to Tony Magliano’s column in the November 6 edition of the Catholic Herald: “We the people must go beyond elections.”
To the editor:
I would like some answers to these questions:
Why is it okay for Congress to give 700 plus billion dollars to banks and corporations that made poor financial decisions?
To the editor:
I read the article by Bishop Jerome E. Listecki in the November 6, 2008, edition of the Catholic Herald. In particular his comments on the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) were a call to action. Please review his article to grasp the nefarious nature of this act.

MADISON — “Faith in Action” was the theme of the 13th annual Catholic Charities (CC) Awards Dinner held October 30 at the Marriott Madison West. Proceeds support CC programs for families and aging persons.
Jane Feller, chair of the CC Board of Directors, welcomed the guests, saying the Awards Dinner is an opportunity to highlight Catholic Charities’ mission, hear success stories, and recognize the agency’s work. “We also recognize our clients and volunteers. They are living examples of Catholic social teaching,” said Feller.
