Justice can be an elusive concept, changing from century to century. What was accepted in one era, like slavery, can be unthinkable in another. The biblical test of a just society was based on how people treated the widow, the orphan, and the stranger. These people were the underdogs of society, having no immediate family to protect them. Who are the underdogs in our era? Who are the people most deserving of protection? One group is clearly people with disabilities. They frequently have less education, less opportunity for fruitful jobs, and they face a society that is ambivalent about them. |

Bishop's Letter

Dear Friends,
 Last week I was quite surprised to learn that the Wisconsin State Journal would be running a major, front-page article on the future of St. Paul's University Catholic Center and their facilities. I had already scheduled a meeting with my brother priests from the Madison area, to take place this Thursday, April 15, for a discussion about the future of campus ministry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The Wisconsin State Journal regularly tracks the mayor's appointment schedule, and the scheduled appointment with some of the leadership at St. Paul's led the State Journal to seek any materials on file for the appointment, which are open to the public (if sought), and that was the source of information published by the State Journal. The State Journal was basically fair in their presentation, given that they do not understand the whole context at all.
