"Central to the concerns of the Holy Father is the clear articulation that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ and his church. It is a faith that must never be imposed but always freely chosen. The Catholic Church in the United States remains steadfastly committed to deepening its bonds of friendship and mutual understanding with the Jewish community."[7]
On October 18, 2010, Benedict XVI accepted Sklba's letter of resignation as auxiliary bishop of Milwaukee.[1]
