Their Just Books book club finished "for the semester".
On the war
Catholics for Peace and Justice enters its third year of action against the war in Iraq.
They opposed [pdf] a supplemental funding bill with an August 31, 2008 troop withdrawal date; not good enough.
On the death penalty
We ask all of our membership to continue to pray and discuss the death penalty issue here in Wisconsin, asking that we change our lives from fear, hatred and vengeance to lives of compassion, love, and forgiveness.
We don't have the death penalty, and the concept of a preventive fraternal correction does not appear in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I assume their discussion will be aimed at preventing discussion of the issue in the legislature.
The March 24, 2007 Ecumenical Prayer Service for Peace was regarded a great success.
The thirst for justice of those in the assembly was palpable, and it spilled over into fellowship, networking and the taking of letter-writing information after the service.
