Pro-Life Wisconsin lauds the actions of a
wise and caring shepherd, Bishop Raymond L. Burke

Citing his responsibility to be “solicitous for all the faithful” entrusted to his care, Bishop Raymond L. Burke Thursday published in the Catholic Times (the official newspaper of the LaCrosse, WI diocese) a rarely used but completely warranted canonical notification. Accompanying this official church decree, Bishop Burke put forth a (ten page) pastoral letter to Catholics of his diocese, clarifying their responsibility to uphold and protect the value of innocent human life.

“Simply put, the canonical notification publicly warns Catholic lawmakers that, if they continue to support abortion or euthanasia, they may not receive Holy Communion,” explains Peggy Hamill, state director of Pro-Life Wisconsin. “The pastoral letter, through a set of guidelines, is meant to aid Catholic citizens in making political judgements with a well-formed conscience.”

Comprehensively addressing the need for protection of innocent human life at all stages, Bishop Burke refers to the contraceptive mentality as “the port of entry” for the abortion culture. He astutely calls upon all citizens to reject the acceptance and promotion of this destructive mindset.

“With utmost respect and gratitude, Pro-Life Wisconsin lauds these actions of this wise and caring shepherd,” continued Hamill. “Assisting his flock, Bishop Burke is calling upon and guiding them to consistently address the Gospel of Life that they, as professed Catholics, are called to proclaim.”

Bishop Burke, following protocol to the letter, published the notification only after scandal continued to be caused by local pro-abortion politicians who (despite private appeals from the bishop to reform) continued to represent themselves as practicing Catholics.

“Bishop Burke’s diligent pastoral letter and canonical notification will greatly assist Pro-Life Wisconsin,” stated Katherine Ribnek, communications director of Pro-Life Wisconsin, “in our efforts to hold all Christian politicians and voters alike to their responsibility to uphold natural and moral law in all that they do, regardless of prevailing societal trends.”

As Bishop Burke pastorally asks us to do, Pro-Life Wisconsin will continue to pray for both our Church and civic leaders.
