The legacy of Archbishop Weakland

While lots of folks had lots to say about retired Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee, it seems we rarely heard of his Cathedral Center for Women and Children, which was dedicated last Sunday and opened on Monday. Its current capacity is 36 single women and 8 families. I feel the obligatory quote from Matthew 26 coming on:

Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?"

And the King will answer them, "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me."

What choice do we have in such matters? It could not not be done. Our God and Lord is noted for attending to the cries of the women alone and the fatherless children when they are neglected or oppressed and they call upon Him, and also noted for being very strict with those who cause these people to cry out...... I am very glad that the Cathedral Project protesters were not successful; I do not, will not, believe that they knew what they were trying to do.

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
