And I have come to a remarkable conclusion, I am sure; you can quote me on this any time you want: it takes a parish to educate a child. The reason why the Church has been successful is because the school should never be isolated. It takes a parish - or today I would say a network of parishes - to educate a child. The first level has to be parental responsibility and maintaining always before our eyes that the parents are the primary teachers and our role is to assist them.

SPEECH LOG
Hon. David B. Sentelle, a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, spoke on "Lopez speaks -- Is Anyone Listening?" at a luncheon presented by the Milwaukee Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society at the Milwaukee Athletic Club.
Our Archbishop has questions for all sides.
Weakland wants to see church minister more to central city
Our Archbishop looks ahead three years to his retirement.
"I feel very concerned right now that somehow the Catholic Church in Milwaukee is not doing enough in terms of social problems," said Weakland, who cited issues such as family stability, drug use and a lack of role models.
"If I could found a religious order today, I'd found a religious order to live in the central city, just to be there. I'm very concerned we don't do enough to help the African-American male. We lose contact at age 13."
Isn't he the one who closed almost all the central city parishes?
