Bishop Grob Named Archbishop of Milwaukee
Good morning,
With ongoing gratitude and thanksgiving to God for the gifts given to the Church in southeastern Wisconsin, we now ask your prayers for the Most Reverend Jeffrey S. Grob, Archbishop-Designate of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Pope Francis announced his choice for the 12th Archbishop of Milwaukee on November 4, 2024.
Archbishop-Designate Grob is a Wisconsin native who has served as an auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Chicago since 2020.
Archbishop-Designate Grob is in Milwaukee today, Monday, November 4, to meet with Archbishop Jerome Listecki and Auxiliary Bishops Jim Schuerman and Jeff Haines. He will be introduced to the community at a media conference this morning at Saint Francis de Sales Seminary. Archbishop-Designate Grob’s installation as Archbishop of Milwaukee will be January 14, 2025. Until that time, Archbishop Listecki serves as Apostolic Administrator of the archdiocese.
More information about Archbishop-Designate Grob is posted on the archdiocesan web site at www.archmil.org.
A prayer on the appointment of a new archbishop is available at

Please keep Archbishop-Designate Grob and the Church of southeastern Wisconsin in your prayers.
Peace,
Jerry Topczewski

Accounts may differ; even who she was, but all agree: what she did then will live in memory.'
She bathed your feet; her tears excessive; excessive, too, the oil. Who were the other guests? Was one a patron? Was this woman of the city beautiful or plain? Her hair to dry the tears; she covered your feet with kisses and ointment smooth and soft as a woman’s hands. Her touch revealed a deeper innocence that belied her past. What bond? What intimacy? Weeks later, in an upper room, you took off your outer garment, wrapped a towel around your waist. Did you think of her? You grasped their feet, the dirty toes, the water warm; a firm yet gentle touch. The water soothing, strong hands relaxed the sinews in their feet and calves. The flesh feels new, smooth to the touch, a woman’s skin. Their feet have never felt so clean. Your act transports them back to childhood, even unremembered infancy. How can a man whose feet are bathed think evil thoughts? How can they not be touched, even unmanned? The joy that touch evokes flows out among them like a river, or a stream of tears. No need for the command.

The Most Important Decision in Life
Adapted from the address by Bishop Robert Barron at Hillsdale College's 171st commencement on May 13, 2023.
"So there’s the question, young graduates. What kind of soul will you have? What kind of person will you be? Will you do whatever it takes to get what you want? Or will you accept even great suffering in order to do what is right? Everything else in your life will flow from your answer to that question."
Who Killed the Catholic University
James F. Keating at First Things.
"More than thirty years ago, John Paul II issued Ex Corde Ecclesiae, his apostolic constitution on Catholic universities. Although in some respects an updating of Vatican II’s Declaration on Christian Education, the all-but-forgotten Gravissimum Educationis, John Paul’s document was meant to inspire a renewal of authentic Catholic education in troubled times. He adopted what the late John O’Malley called Vatican II’s “invitational” style. Rather than denouncing abuses, the pope sought to invite, perhaps re-invite, Catholic professors and administrators to the adventure of Catholic higher education."
Census Fidei? Methodological Missteps Are Undermining the Catholic Church’s Synod on Synodality
Mark Regnerus with a methodological critique, including of the
Document for the Continental Stage,
at
Public Discourse.
"What the Frascati group heard, or wrote down, is a great deal of woundedness and suffering. Are these the norm within the Church? Emotive terms saturate the document. For example, the word 'feel' appears twenty-five times, including '[I]f the Church is not synodal, no one can really feel fully at home.' (What does this mean?) The term 'dialogue' shows up thirty-one times, 'discernment' twenty-eight times, 'listening' thirty-eight times, 'experience' forty-three times, 'journey' thirty-three times, and versions of 'welcoming' eighteen times. Exactly whose voices are these?"

The Complete Poems of San Juan de la Cruz
Review by Rex Bradshaw at First Things,
"In a new translation of this and San Juan’s other poems, poets María Baranda and Paul Hoover have prioritized fidelity to the original language, with Spanish on the facing page. ...
"This translation fares well by comparison to previous efforts. Despite making no attempt to reproduce San Juan’s rhyme scheme, it falls pleasantly on the ear while taking fewer liberties than most."
