News, information manager begins
The Compass, August 31, 2007, reports that Sam Lucero left our Catholic Herald to become news and information manager for the Green Bay Diocese. Maybe, before referring to the diocesan paper as Our Compass, he can have it switch to permanent links for current stories. If he did, this would be the link to this story.
Keeping Minimum Wage Just is Ongoing Responsibility [2 pp. pdf]
"Eye on the Capitol" August 31, 2007, by John Huebscher, Executive Director, Wisconsin Catholic Conference, reiterating support for SB 130, which would raise the state minimum wage to $7.25 per hour.
Kelly Romenesko drops claim against Xavier
Renae Bauer reports in The Compass, August 31, 2007. "In her signed contract, she agreed to uphold the teachings of the Catholic Church. She violated her contract by undergoing in-vitro fertilization, a medical procedure that since the 1980s has contradicted the church's teachings on the natural conception of children." Presumably meaning a medical procedure developed in the 1980s that contradicted the church's teachings. (Link will change to this, I think, when the next issue is published.)
New bishop says he seeks to do the Lord's will
A.M. Kelley reports in the Superior Catholic Herald on what I hope isn't news in the Diocese of Superior.
