Just as an aside, Bishop Morlino is our new Bishop. I am proud he has addressed this issue publically, but not as proud as I was when he left noon Mass at the Cathedral in downtown Madison on the feast of the Queenship of Mary to walk next door to lead approximately 250 people in praying the Rosary on the sidewalk across from a Madison hospital where abortions are performed.
At Mass, he emphasized that all involved in abortion must be included in our prayers if we are to end this atrocity against God's most innocent creatures.
He appears to "walk to walk" and lead from the front....qualities I have always admired and have tried to emulate in my life.
God bless,

You're lucky to have a bishop like him. Ours is not as assertive and seems to be looking forward to retirement. During the furor following the ECUSA convention, he was reluctant to stick his neck out and publicly condemn their actions. Perhaps he is working diligently behind the scenes. I hope he attends the meetings in Plano this October and becomes inspired to action.

Encouraging words. Those prayers work!

Now this is good news indeed!!! A bishop who acts on what he preaches!
Perhaps this is a bit naive on my part to suggest, but do you see a trend developing over the past few months? The retiring bishops (or those who have stepped down) are being replaced with conservative bishops who are not afraid to stand up for the teachings of the catholic church. Dolan, O'Malley and now Morlino. They spark hope in our hearts.
Let's keep Bishop Morlino in our prayers. May he continue to shine as an example for other bishops to follow.

I wish Cleveland's diocese was as blessed.
