The Public Policy Voice of Wisconsin's Bishops Since 1969

"The Church...cannot and should not replace the State. Yet at the same time she cannot and must not remain on the sidelines in the fight for justice.  She has to play her part through rational argument and she has to reawaken the spiritual energy without which justice, which always demands sacrifice, cannot prevail and prosper."

Benedict XVI, (Encyclical letter Deus Caritas Est. #26, 2006)
