IMPOSTER FACEBOOK PAGE - BISHOP WILLIAM CALLAHAN

On Thursday, October 14, someone created a Satire/Parody page for Bishop William Callahan. Please know this is not Bishop Callahan’s page, nor his writings. He does not have a Facebook presence at this time; he communicates through the diocesan Facebook page.
If you are not careful, you may miss the “Satire/Parody” part and believe this is actually Bishop Callahan. Some are engaging in conversation, and the responses by the page can easily be mistaken if you believe it’s from the bishop. If this page is liking, posting or replying to posts on your parish Facebook, you can hide or block the page. Do not engage with this page. Any interactions with this page may increase it’s popularitaly.
We have been working with Facebook to get this page removed.

STATEMENT OF THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS OF WISCONSIN ON
COVID-19 VACCINATION AND THE PROTECTION OF CONSCIENCE

Bishops Respond to Extreme Push for Taxpayer Funding of Abortion
Ask the Faithful to Make their Voices Heard

“The most extreme pro-abortion appropriations bill we have seen” – This how Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Archbishop Joseph Naumann have characterized the spending bill making its way through the U.S. House of Representatives with the support of the Biden Administration. “Americans’ tax dollars should be used for the common good and welfare of all, not to finance abortion or force Americans to violate deeply-held beliefs. We ask all Catholics and all people of good will to contact their legislators and make their voices heard,” they wrote, through a petition drive that can be found at notaxpayerabortion.com.

Wisconsin Bishops Speak Out Against “Equality Act”

“Wisconsin’s Catholic bishops join with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in opposing the Equality Act of 2021 (H.R. 5). While all people must be treated with dignity and respect, efforts to prevent discrimination cannot foster inequality and intolerance of religion and people of faith. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution specifically protects free speech and the free exercise of faith, as both are essential for a free and open society….” Read more and make your voice heard – Visit diolc.org/social-concerns.
Visit the U.S. Bishops’ “Action Alerts” Page (Votervoice.net/USCCB/home):
 Advocate in favor of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.
 Tell Congress to keep the Hyde Amendment – No taxpayer funding of abortion.
 Oppose the ERA and the “Equality Act” that hurt women and the unborn and discriminate against people of faith.

U.S. Bishops' Action Alert opposing ERA & "Equality Act"

The U.S. Bishops ask the faithful to voice their opposition to a renewed attempt to ratify the deceptively named Equal Rights Amendment, as well as to speak out against the more recent, similarly named Equality Act, both of which threaten the true dignity of women and th elives of unborn children. They would also discriminate against the work of faith-based organizations. For more information and to make your voice heard, visit www.votervoice.net/USCCB/home.
