A Good Shepherd Speaks
[His Excellency Robert Morlino, Bishop of Madison, WI]
One of the women with whom I worked, at my last assignment, is a good friend of Bishop Robert Morlino, of Madison, WI. I think her husband and the bishop went to school together. In any case, she first shared a recording of one of the bishop’s homilies, and I was very impressed with the context of his message. Since then I have tried to follow whenever one of Bishop Morlino’s homilies appear online somewhere, and I have continued to be impressed by what a genuine shepherd he is in witnessing to the love of Jesus Christ. I just came across a homily that he must have given in September of this year; actually the day that Senator Biden appeared on TV and gave his very poor understanding of the Catholic Church’s teaching on abortion. It is worth a listen, so I am sharing (I hope; the technology part often gets me in trouble) a link to a recording of Bishop Morlino’s Homily (HTML has conquered me again; I cannot figure out how to create the link to play the mp3 here, so instead the link will take you to the website where the mp3 is). I pray for good shepherds like Bishop Morlino everyday.

Fr. JC,
The Bishop would be pleased that you are admire his homilies and that you keep him in yours prayers.
When Tom was at St. Joe’s, the Bishop was then a transitional Deacon with the Jesuits and one of Tom’s professors. They did become good friends. We saw him recently at a wedding in Wisconsin and gave him your regards.
