In a diocesan magazine column, Bishop Victor Galeone of St. Augustine recounts that a social worker threatened to take away the family’s benefit cards during the Great Depression if his mother– an Italian immigrant with a third-grade education– did not abort her fourth child. The future bishop’s father responded, “Let them have their cards back! The Lord will provide.”
