Thurs Mar 20, 12 noon to 1 pm — Anti R.O.T.C. Vigil. Meet in front of the M.U. Library on Wisconsin Ave.  “We do not train our children to do violence to others. Many of the millions of children murdered over the last decades in war have been murdered by Christian men and women. The murder of a child whether engaged in face to face or separated by a thousand miles is still murder—and all Catholics and Christians are morally prohibited by Jesus from participating in it. Their Bishops and Church leaders are mandated to make this moral truth clear to their Christian congregations. Failure to do so is an egregious betrayal of Christ-God and of one’s God-given vocation.” –Emmanuel Charles McCarthy. Sponsored by Casa Maria Catholic Worker House. shadmuss1983@gmail.com
