The drums of war

This was the title of the Homily given by Father Michael McLernon at the Cathedral of Saint John in Milwaukee on March 18, 2006 at the Catholics for Peace and Justice Ecumenical Prayer Service.

We, as a nation, have embarked on a crusade calculated to extend our influence and power over the whole world and its resources so that our greed may be sated by cheap supplies of energy and affordable consumer goods, no matter the cost to the people who own or produce them.

The next CPJ event is April 26th at the Mount Mary College.

Weather permitting, we will gather around the Peace Pole on the west side of the college. The alternative rain site is Our Lady Chapel on the 2nd Floor of Notre Dame Hall. Parking is available off the Parkway entrance and the 92nd Street entrance.

Wouldn't want trouble finding a parking spot and be late protesting greed for cheap energy.
