Pope: Concern for poor is sign of Gospel, not red flag of communism CAROL GLATZ CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE

CAROL GLATZ CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis told priests to seek the lost, serve the unwanted and share God’s unconditional love.

“I ask you to be shepherds with God’s tenderness, to leave the ‘whip’ hanging in the sacristy and be shepherds with tenderness, even with those who create more trouble for you,” he said in a homily during a Mass in the Basilica of St. John Lateran.

About 1,000 priests attending a retreat organized by the International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services and Catholic Fraternity met with the pope June 12, the day the church marked the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests. The theme of the June 10-14 retreat in Rome was “Called to Holiness for a New Evangelization.”

Pope Francis exchanges his zucchetto with one given by someone in the crowd as he leaves his general audience in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican June 10.

VATICAN CITY – Focusing on poverty and sacrificing for the poor are the heart of the Gospel, not signs of communism, Pope Francis said at his morning Mass.

Furthermore, if Christians don’t dig deep and generously open up their wallets, they do not have “genuine faith,” the pope said June 16 during the Mass in the chapel of the Domus Sanctae Marthae.

He said people often hear, “Oh, this priest speaks about poverty too much, this bishop talks about poverty, this Christian, this sister talk about poverty. Well, they’re a bit communist, aren’t they?”

But “poverty is precisely at the heart of the Gospel. If we were to remove poverty from the Gospel, people would understand nothing about Jesus’ message,” he said, according to Vatican Radio.

Being fully Christian means being rich in spirit, faith, the Word, wisdom and zeal – things that Jesus has taught and offered all people, he said.

Newly ordained priests Father Cameron Faller and Father Patrick Summerhays, pictured with Archbishop Cordileone during their ordination Mass, celebrate the Eucharist for the first time.

Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone ordained Marin County natives Cameron Faller and Patrick Summerhays as priests of the Archdiocese of San Francisco June 6 at St. Mary’s Cathedral, in a joyous event that included parents, other family members and family and friends, as well as numerous well-wishers.

“This is a very happy day,” Archbishop Cordileone said. “Our hearts are filled with joy and gratitude.”

The newly ordained priests both grew up in Our Lady of Loretto Parish

in Novato. Father Faller, 27, attended Marin Catholic High School, and is the third of four brothers. He graduated from Gonzaga University while attending Bishop White Seminary in Spokane for his final two years of college. Father Summerhays, 42, is one of seven siblings, and also attended a local Catholic high school, St. Vincent High School in Petaluma.

After graduating from University of San Francisco, he spent 10 years in finance, including at a biotech startup and a wealth management firm, before entering the seminary.

San Quentin prison families visit dads, granddads CHRISTINA GRAY CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO

Almost 80 family members of San Quentin State Prison inmates traveled by bus from Southern California June 5 to share an early Father’s Day, thanks to a family visitation program started by two Catholic sisters concerned about the welfare of children separated from their incarcerated parents.

Founded by Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet Suzanne Steffen and Susan Jasbro, Get on the Bus helps reunite prison families, with free trips to the state’s 11 prisons, for children, grandchildren and their guardians every year between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Children who have regular visits with incarcerated parents are better adjusted and at lower risk of delinquency, the program’s website says. Their parents are less likely to go back to prison after release and more likely to reunite with family.

At San Quentin, volunteers brought pizza to families clustered in the prison’s visiting room. Some prison families had never shared a meal.

“These children are paying a price

for a crime they did not commit,” Get on the Bus executive director Amalia Molina said. “But when they come here, they don’t see a crime or criminal, they just see someone they love.”

“We’re a close family,” said Eric Moody, who went to prison months before his 14-year old son Eric Moody Jr. was born. He credited his wife Denise for “holding us together.”

“I know people in there that don’t

have that,” he said.

Moody talks to his son by phone every night and urges him to stay out of trouble. “When you destroy your life, your whole family can go down with you,” he said.

Visitacion Corpus Christi procession brings Eucharist into public view VALERIE SCHMALZ CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO

Church of the Visitacion celebrated Corpus Christi Sunday with a public procession to honor the Real Presence on June 7, keeping alive a tradition that dates to the 13th century.

“I believe this is a beautiful tradition of the church to let the people know about the devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and highlight the meaning of the Eucharist,” said Father Thuan Hoang, who began the procession around the church in the San Francisco neighborhood near the Cow Palace in 2013, shortly after he was appointed pastor four years ago.

Father Hoang carried the exposed Eucharist in a monstrance under a canopy, followed by between 80 and 100 parishioners singing and praying.

The procession occurred after the 12:30 p.m. Mass, and the event concluded with eucharistic adoration and Benediction inside the church, Father Hoang said. The procession brings home more clearly that “2,000 years ago God was incarnate in the human flesh of Jesus and now God is incarnate in the form of host and wine to nourish us,” he said.

The feast of Corpus Christi dates to the 13th century in Belgium where in 1246, Bishop Robert de Thorete of

the Diocese of Liège, at the suggestion of St. Juliana of Mont Cornillon, convened a synod and instituted the celebration of the feast. In 1264, Pope Urban IV issued the papal bull “Transiturus,” which established the feast of Corpus Christi as a universal feast of the church, to be celebrated on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday.

In the United States, the solemnity of Corpus Christi is transferred to the nearest Sunday.

“Mr. Brown comes to us with stellar experience, a reputation for working well in establishing good connections among many different units of a large organization, and extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the Catholic Church. We are delighted with his decision to join us, and we will quickly put his many skills to good work,” said Jesuit Father John Piderit, moderator of the curia and vicar for administration in the archdiocese.

SISTERS OF PERPETUAL ADORATION FULL NAME OF ORDER: The Nuns of the Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, popularly known throughout North America as “The Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.”

FOUNDED: 18th-century Italy by Mother Mary Magdalene of the Incarnation (born Caterina Sordini; beatified 2008); canonical approval of first constitutions: 1818 ARRIVAL IN SAN FRANCSICO: 1928 MINISTRY: Eucharistic adoration NUNS IN ARCHDIOCESE: 8 professed nuns and 2 novices she experienced in 1789 as a Franciscan nun. In this vision, Christ asked her to form an order devoted to adoring him in the Eucharist day and night.

She responded to his call by founding our order, whose constitutions were canonically approved in 1818. Since its founding, our order has grown into a worldwide community with monasteries in Italy, Spain, Austria, the United States, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Bethlehem and Kenya.

The San Francisco community arrived from Guadalajara, Mexico in 1928, fleeing the persecution of the church by the Mexican government in power at that time. With the assistance of Jesuit Father Dionisio Kavanaugh, we relocated to San Francisco, buying property in the Haight-Ashbury district where we eventually built our current monastery.

Like many other people, members of our community suffered severe financial hardships after the crash of 1929, which wiped out most of our savings. Little by little, we succeeded in rebuilding

As we became better known in the archdiocese, we were also helped by generous benefactors and were eventually able to complete the construction of our monastery and our beautiful chapel in which Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament is continuously exposed for adoration.

Although we are cloistered, we strive to provide services to the wider community. Until 1995, we made altar bread for the churches in the archdiocese at our monastery, and although we no longer actually make the bread on our premises, we still handle its distribution. Our chapel is open to the public from 6:15 a.m. until 6 p.m. every day, and all are welcome to attend our daily morning masses at 8:30 a.m. and our three annual novenas in honor of Corpus Christi, St. Joseph, and Our Lady of Sorrows. Many lay people and religious come to our monastery chapel to hold their own individual and group retreats before the Most Blessed Sacrament, and our Mistress of Novices also periodically offers small group retreats for young women who feel they may have a vocation for joining our community. We also invite individuals and families who can commit to regularly scheduled eucharistic adoration to consider joining our Pious Union of Secular Adorers, a third order which enables interested lay people to participate in the spiritual life of our community. Finally, we have a religious articles store on our monastery grounds, which is open to the public. We gladly accept petitions for prayers by phone, fax and email, and people can also order personalized cards from the monastery for birthdays or other occasions. We invite anyone interested in finding out more about our community to visit our website at www.adorejesus.org.

OBITUARIES

Rites for Deacon Murphy in San Carlos this weekend Deacon Michael Edmond Murphy died June 11 in a hiking accident in the Mount Shasta region of California. He is survived by his wife Natalie and their son Patrick; his mother Patricia Lautze; and his brothers Martin Murphy (Cheryl) and Daniel Murphy (Jenn).

Deacon Murphy was born in San Francisco on April 16, 1958, Deacon Michael to Patrick and Patricia Murphy.

Murphy He attended St. Charles School in San Carlos and graduated from St. Francis High School in Mountain View. He graduated from the University of Santa Clara in 1980 with a major in history. While at Santa Clara, Deacon Murphy joined the Army ROTC program, where he met his future wife, Natalie Eblacas.

Upon graduation from Santa Clara, he was commissioned in the Army as a second lieutenant.

Deacon Murphy and Natalie were married while both were in the military, and their son, Patrick, was born in 1988.

Deacon Murphy received his teaching credential while stationed in Texas. They spent three years on the East Coast, with Natalie teaching at West Point. Deacon Murphy taught at Valley Central Middle School in Montgomery, New York. After two years of teaching, he returned to graduate school and earned a master’s in religious studies. Once Natalie’s assignment at West Point was completed, they returned to San Carlos.

Upon their return to the Bay Area in 1992, Deacon Murphy went to work at Sacred Heart Schools in Atherton, teaching both math and religion. He took particular pride in teaching both the joy and the sacredness of the Catholic faith.

Never one to take himself too seriously, Deacon Murphy encouraged his students to enjoy and

encounter the vast array of Catholic prayer and spirituality. He also coached both boys and girls athletics teams, emphasizing fair play, rewarding effort and showing how all these could also be applied to their lives. Through these methods Deacon Murphy challenged his students and teams to rise to the top.

Deacon Murphy and Natalie joined the diaconate formation program in 2001. They quickly found a home in the diaconate community and Deacon Murphy was ordained to the diaconate

by Bishop John Wester on June 25, 2006. Since that time he and Natalie served at their parish, St. Charles in San Carlos. Deacon Murphy also wrote many inspiring and thought-provoking Scripture reflections in Catholic San Francisco.

A vigil service is set for Sunday, June 21, at 7 p.m., at St. Charles Church, 880 Tamarack Ave., San Carlos. The funeral Mass is set for Monday, June 22, at 10:30 a.m., at St. Charles Church.

Father Benedict Chang, 84 – served at Sts. Peter and Paul Father Benedict Chang died June 1 of pneumonia following several years of declining health. He was 84 years old and had been ordained to the priesthood for 51 years.

Born in Kun-Ming in the Yunnan Province of Southwest China, he was the youngest of four children in a family that had been Catholic for four generations.

Father Benedict After World War II, he entered Chang the minor seminary in Macao of the Salesians of Don Bosco undertaking his novitiate and philosophy studies in Hong Kong, and completing his theological studies in Italy.

Ordained to the priesthood in Rome on April 6, 1963, he then ministered in Hong Kong for the next 14 years, teaching at the minor seminary and in high schools.

As a Salesian, Father Chang came to San Francisco in 1977 to take up an assignment at Sts. Peter and Paul Church where he served the growing population of Chinese immigrants. Father Chang celebrated Mass in Mandarin, and when necessary, in Cantonese, Italian and occasionally, in English. In 1983 he asked for a diocesan assignment, and with permission of his provincial, was appointed as an associate pastor at Star of the Sea Church in San Francisco, under the direction of the now late Msgr. Cornelius Burns. An important focus of his early ministry was a monthly Chinese Newsletter, first published in January 1980. By 1982, the newsletter was receiving positive recognition from the Association of Chinese Clergy in North America and would eventually be distributed as far away as the East Coast and Canada.

Father Chang was widely known for his good sense of humor and sound theology, and ap-

CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION: The feast of The Body and Blood of Christ, Corpus Christi, is celebrated with particular solemnity by the Nuns of Perpetual Adoration in San Francisco. Each year the nuns invite the local faithful to join them in an annual novena leading up to the feast day. On Sunday, June 7, a eucharistic procession set off from the Perpetual Adoration Monastery on

Ashbury Street and wound its way through the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. Father Thomas Parenti was the presider for the novena and processed the Blessed Sacrament for several blocks through the neighborhood. Some young children, dressed in white, had the honor of scattering rose petals in advance of the procession. The Missionaries of Charity assisted in carrying the canopy and also led the recitation of the rosary and hymns over a loudspeaker. More than 200 faithful joined the procession and upon return to the monastery were able to participate in Benediction and Eucharist.

Pope accepts resignations of St. Paul archbishop, auxiliary MARIA WIERING CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE

ST. PAUL, Minnesota – Pope Francis accepted the resignations June 15 of Archbishop John C. Nienstedt and Auxiliary Bishop Lee A. Piche of St. Paul and Minneapolis and named coadjutor Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda of Newark, New Jersey, a canon lawyer, to be apostolic administrator of the Minnesota archdiocese.

In a statement, Archbishop Nienstedt said he submitted his resignation to Pope Francis “to give the archdiocese a new beginning amidst the many challenges we face.”

“The Catholic Church is not our church, but Christ’s church, and we are merely stewards for a time,” he said. “My leadership has unfortunately drawn away from the good works of his church and those who perform them.

Thus, my decision to step down.”

On June 5, the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office filed criminal and civil charges against the archdiocese alleging it failed to protect three boys who were sexually abused in 2008-2010 by Curtis Wehmeyer, a former priest of the archdiocese.

Wehmeyer was convicted of the abuse and is serving a five-year prison sentence. He was dismissed from the priesthood in March.

Archbishop Nienstedt, 68, was appointed coadjutor archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis in 2007, and installed as its archbishop in June 2008, succeeding Archbishop Harry J. Flynn, who retired.

“It has been my privilege the last seven years to serve this local church,” Archbishop Nienstedt said in a statement. “I have come to appreciate deeply the vitality of the 187 parishes that make up the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. I am grateful for the support I have received from priests, deacons, religious men and women and lay leaders, especially those who have collaborated with me in the oversight of this local church.”

He added: “I leave with a clear conscience knowing that my team and I have put in place solid protocols to ensure protection of minors and vulnerable adults.”

Archbishopd Hebda plans to serve both the Minnesota and Newark archdioceses until Pope Francis names Archbishop Nienstedt’s successor.

“As the universal church prepares to embark on a Year of Mercy, I look forward to getting to know this local church and experiencing in a new context the marvelous ways in which the Lord works through his people to make his grace and healing presence known

Archbishop John C. Nienstedt, right, addresses the media alongside Auxiliary Bishop Lee A. Piche at a news conference Jan. 16 announcing that the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis had filed for Chapter 11 Reorganization. Ten days after the archdiocese was criminally charged with failing to protect children, Pope Francis accepted the resignations of Archbishop Nienstedt and Bishop Piche. and felt, even in the most challenging of times,” Archbishop Hebda said.

The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis filed in January for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code amid mounting claims of clergy sexual abuse. In 2013, the Minnesota Legislature lifted the civil statute of limitations on claims of child sexual abuse for a three-year period.

In May, the archdiocese announced that it would sell archdiocesan offices, including the archbishop’s residence, as part of the reorganization.

Barbara Dorris, outreach director of the Survivors Network of Those Abused

by Priests, known as SNAP, welcomed the resignations. But she said that “one or two or three small steps doesn’t erase decades of complicity,” and added that Pope Francis’ “public relations advisers are trying hard to burnish his image prior to his U.S. trip.”

In Washington, reporters asked Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl about his reaction to the resignations. The cardinal was participating in a symposium on solidarity attended by religious and labor leaders held at AFL-CIO headquarters.

At a midday news conference on the symposium, Cardinal Wuerl said it was a “great tribute to Pope Francis” that the pontiff acted swiftly to accept the Minnesota prelates’ resignations.

While there was no direct statement from the Vatican that the resignations of Archbishop Nienstedt and Bishop Piche were tied to the Minnesota archdiocese’s mishandling of abuse cases and the criminal charges it faces, Cardinal Wuerl said there could be no more explicit explanation from the church than the resignations themselves.

The fact a resignation is voluntary shows that “the person who resigns now understands the significance” of the situation, Cardinal Wuerl said.

Bishops hear report on church’s ongoing efforts to defend marriage JENNIFER BRINKER CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE

ST. LOUIS – As the institution of marriage faces unprecedented challenges, the Catholic Church continues to promote and defend marriage as being between one man and one woman, said Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone of San Francisco.

As chairman of the bishops’ Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage, Archbishop Cordileone gave bishops at their spring general assembly in St. Louis an update on the U.S. Supreme Court’s impending decision whether same-sex marriage should be made legal nationwide as well as related public policy and the church’s catechetical efforts.

The Supreme Court is considering two issues: whether the Constitution should require a state to license a civil marriage between two people of the same sex and whether it requires a state to recognize a same-sex marriage when it was lawfully licensed and performed in another state.

The court is expected to make a decision by the end of its session in late June.

“Nothing the court says can change what marriage truly is, and we will continue to promote and defend it,” said Archbishop Cordileone, who received sustained applause from his brother bishops at the end of his talk. “We may have to suffer this lie about marriage in the law, but we must not participate in it or keep silent about it.

“The importance of responding to this challenge with truth and compassion remains paramount,” he later added.

Currently, 36 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territory of Guam recognize same-sex marriage. The status of same-sex marriage in a 37th state, Alabama, remains unclear because of conflicting state and federal rulings.

Those who advocate for the Catholic Church’s support of traditional marriage will be increasing-

ly marginalized under the law and within society, Archbishop Cordileone said. Depending on the rationale, they would be viewed as proponents of discrimination and targeted with discrimination themselves.

In this atmosphere, the church continues efforts to support public policy issues, including a version of the Marriage and Religious Freedom Act, which would prohibit the government from discriminating against those who act in accordance with a religious belief or moral conviction that Archbishop marriage is the union between Cordileone a man and woman. Protections would extend to areas including federal employment, contracts, grants and taxexempt status.

The church also supports the federal Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act, which would protect child welfare service providers against discrimination by the government in situations where workers refuse to place children in certain households against their religious beliefs.

The church is following legislation and executive action that would inject into federal law classifications of sexual orientation and gender identity.

“We see advances on what Pope Francis has referred to critically as ‘gender theory or gender ideology,’” said Archbishop Cordileone. For example, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued a document on best practices in restroom access for transgender workers.

Pope Francis has said that the responsibility of the church is to “rediscover the beauty of the creative design that also inscribes the image of God in the alliance of the covenant between man and woman.” The church teaches that the difference between man and woman is a positive difference

that makes new life possible, Archbishop Cordileone said.

The Catholic Church also teaches that any sexual activity outside of marriage is sinful.

The U.S. bishops’ Fortnight for Freedom, which will take place June 21-July 4 to promote the importance of religious liberty, the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia this September and the Synod of Bishops at the Vatican in October will serve as moments for catechesis, and to support families who are struggling as well as uphold strong families as positive examples.

Regardless of what happens with the law, marriage already has been redefined by the culture, Archbishop Cordileone said.

“States for years have had civil union laws, which equate them to marriage, but didn’t call them marriage,” he said later in an interview with the St. Louis Review, the archdiocesan newspaper.. “It’s not really a question of the rights and benefits, though. There’s something more going on here. The heart of the matter is the question of the definition of marriage.”

While it may not be possible for the church to find common ground with those who support same-sex marriage, it is possible to encounter and accompany those who hold an opposing view.

“We need to speak about (marriage), but we need to encounter each other as human beings. We need to listen more to each other,” the archbishop said.

“It’s meeting people where they are at, but then accompanying them ... and helping them grow in virtue. We all have the same deepest yearning, and that yearning of course is for love.”

BISHOPS SAY CARE FOR POOR MUST BE TOP CONCERN

ST. LOUIS – After a presentation about future priorities for the U.S. bishops at their spring general assembly in St. Louis, several bishops stepped up to microphone emphasizing that care for the poor has to be a top concern.

“Don’t forget the poor,” Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, retired archbishop of Washington, urged the bishops June 11. “If we do all these wonderful things, and don’t obviously remember the poor, we’re losing the star moment of this extraordinary Holy Father,” he said.

Several bishops found fault with the draft document outlining the priorities and strategic plans for the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishop for 2017-2020, saying it did not put enough emphasis on helping those in need. Some bishops said the draft was too similar to previous USCCB priority statements. Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin of Indianapolis said it should reflect the “newness of Francis” and include language stressing a “preference for the marginalized.” Bishop George L. Thomas of Helena, Montana, also said he was disappointed with the draft and urged fellow bishops to “throw our collective weight” into helping those in need.

ENVIRONMENT ENCYCLICAL WILL CHALLENGE ‘BOTH THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT’

ST. LOUIS – The U.S. bishops gathered for their spring general assembly June 10-12 discussed the pope’s upcoming encyclical on the environment and human ecology and were called on to help Catholics understand its message.

Pope Francis will challenge the assumptions of “both the left and the right” with the document, said Bishop Oscar Cantu of Las Cruces, New

Mexico, chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on International Justice and Peace.

He also said it would have international implications, particularly regarding solidarity with the world’s poor.

Miami Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski, chairman of the Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, said the document will likely highlight Bishop Cantu climate change as “a moral issue,” pointing out that the poor suffer the most from consequences of improper care of the environment even though “they have contributed the least to climate change.”

He said the pope would not be speaking as a scientist or a politician but as a shepherd and that the bishops, who “aren’t novices” on care for the environment, can’t “opt out” of this conversation.

COURT LETS BLOCK ON ULTRASOUND LAW STAND

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court June 15 left a lower court ruling intact that blocked North Carolina’s law requiring physicians to perform an ultrasound on women seeking abortions, and to show it to the women and describe the fetus’ features.

Without comment, the court let stand a 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling from last December that overturned the 2011 law on First Amendment grounds.

The Supreme Court also is being asked to take at least two other cases involving state restrictions on abortion. One, which has been on the court’s calendar for consideration for several weeks, asks for review of a July 2014 ruling by the 5th U.S. Circuit

Court of Appeals that overturned Mississippi’s requirements for hospital-like standards at abortion clinics. The 2012 law also requires abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at local hospitals.

A Texas law requiring similar standards at abortion clinics was upheld earlier in June by the 5th Circuit. Opponents of the law have asked the Supreme Court to fast-track review of that ruling.

CATHOLIC LEADERS SAY GAMING PARLORS CAUSING ‘DEVASTATION’ FOR FAMILIES

STARR COUNTY, Texas – Catholic leaders in the Texas Rio Grande Valley are alarmed by the detrimental effect they say local gaming parlors are having especially on families.

“I am sorry they are here in our county,” said Deacon R.C. Salinas of Sacred Heart Parish in Escobares. “I don’t think they are doing anybody any good.”

“They” are the countless eight-liner machine parlors that have sprouted up all over Starr County since county commissioners approved a resolution in September 2014 to permit gaming machines in unincorporated areas with an annual licensing fee of $500 per machine.

The gaming machines, or “las maquinitas” as they are commonly called, draw patrons from across the Rio Grande Valley but have had an especially detrimental effect on local residents, Deacon Salinas said.

“We have people gambling away their retirement money, their rent money, the money they need to pay their bills or put food on the table,” he told The Valley Catholic, the Brownsville diocesan newspaper. “They are tempted by the prospect of winning fast money.”

Parents transmit church teaching on marriage by example, pope says CINDY WOODEN CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE

VATICAN CITY – Children need to see their parents kiss each other, compliment each other and resolve arguments peacefully, Pope Francis said.

“Dear parents, your children need to discover by watching you that it is beautiful to love another,” the pope told parents participating in the annual pastoral conference of the Diocese of Rome.

Parents with their children preparing for first Communion and confirmation, catechists and priests joined the pope for an evening meeting in St. Peter’s Square June 14.

The event marked the beginning of the diocesan conference, which focused this year on transmitting the faith.

As the pope entered the square, he pointed to two boys wearing yellow shirts and invited them to climb into the popemobile to help him greet the crowd.

Although he had a prepared text, he made long impromptu additions to his speech, including recounting the story of a little boy who told the pope he had seen his parents kiss.

It is a “beautiful witness,” the pope said.

Children watch their parents carefully, the pope said. “They watch a lot and when they see that dad and mom love each other, the children grow in that climate of love, happiness and security.”

And they suffer when they see “dad and mom every single day screaming at each other, insulting each other, maybe even hitting each

A man and a woman who love one another and decide to marry and start a family, the pope said, have the exulted vocation of being similar to the triune God: loving one another in their differences and creating new life.

“Being parents is based on the diversity of being male and female, as the Bible reminds us,” he said.

“This is the first and most basic,

POLISH BISHOPS VOW TO RESIST CHANGE AT SYNOD

WARSAW, Poland – Poland’s Catholic bishops pledged to resist changes to Catholic teaching on marriage and family life at October’s synod on the family at the Vatican and rejected demands for reform by German-speaking Catholics.

“Polish church delegates will certainly stick to the understanding of Popes Paul VI and John Paul II,” said Msgr. Jozef Kloch, spokesman for the Polish bishops’ conference.

In a June 12 interview with Catholic News Service, the priest said the Polish church was determined to resist calls for reform on issues such as homosexuality and Communion for divorced and remarried Catholics. “Those responsible have said the responses were unanimous and unambiguous. There’s no support for change in Poland,” Msgr. Kloch said.

LCWR LEADER: CHURCH NEEDS MORE OPEN DIALOGUE

TORONTO – Having experienced six years of a Vatican investigation that shrouded the work of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, Sister Carol Zinn, the organization’s past president, called for more dialogue within the church.

“The conversation needs to happen face-to-face and it needs to happen in relationship,” Sister Carol said during a break from a conference for Canadian sisters and religious order priests and brothers in Toronto June 3. “We need more conversations on all levels within the church and not talk to each other through the media, but talk to each other.”

POPE OKS PLAN TO INVESTIGATE, JUDGE BISHOPS

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has approved new procedures for the Vatican to investigate and judge claims of “abuse of office” by bishops

constitutive difference in the human being.”

Pope Francis insisted parents must attentively counter the “ideological colonization” of their children, including when they are told by teachers or informed in their school books that differences between male and female are unimportant or are invented social conventions.

Marriage, he said, is a call “to love one another with their differences” and to help the other become “more a man and more a woman. This is the artisanal work of marriage and the family each day: helping one

who allegedly failed to protect minors and vulnerable adults from sex abuse.

The procedures will include a new “judicial section” within the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith that has a papal mandate to “judge bishops with regard to crimes of the abuse of office when connected to the abuse of minors,” the Vatican said in a written statement June 10.

While the Code of Canon Law already stipulates that bishops hold certain responsibilities, there had been no permanent system or trained staff to deal with reporting, evaluating and judging claims that a bishop had failed to fulfill his responsibilities linked to handling suspected and known cases of sex abuse, said a source familiar with the discussion.

FORMER NUNCIO WILL FACE VATICAN TRIAL

VATICAN CITY – A former Vatican nuncio will stand trial in a Vatican court on charges of the sexual abuse of minors and possession of child pornography. Jozef Wesolowski, the laicized former nuncio to the Dominican Republic, is accused of “a number of offenses” committed between 2008 and the date of his arrest in September 2014. Giuseppe Dalla Torre, president of the tribunal of Vatican City State, ordered the trial, the Vatican announced June 15.

The former archbishop is accused of sexually abusing minors during the years he spent as nuncio to the Dominican Republic and apostolic delegate to Puerto Rico from the date of his appointment in 2008 until his resignation Aug. 21, 2013. The charge of possession of child pornography is an allegation based on the archbishop’s activity once he was back in Rome, the Vatican said.

another grow, thinking of the other, the husband of his wife and the wife of her husband. This is communion.”

In a world where people often are afraid of differences, Christian couples need to show first their children and then their societies that differences are a source of enrichment because it “becomes complementarity, but also reciprocity.”

Growing up, children need to see what it means to be a man or a woman and to have proof that their parents’ differences are something positive, Pope Francis said.

“We men learn to recognize, through the women we meet in our life, the extraordinary beauty that women bear. And women make the same journey (of discovery), learning from men that man is different and has his way of feeling, understanding and living,” the pope said.

Pope Francis also told the families gathered for the evening meeting that when they experience real difficulty, they have an obligation to their children to seek help and support.

And if they get to the point where “separation seems inevitable,” he said, “know that the church holds you in its heart and that your educating role does not end: You are and will always be dad and mom.”

Even if couples are unable to live together, the pope said, they must find a way to work together harmoniously.

“Please, do not use your children as hostages!” he said. “Never, ever speak ill of the other to your children! Never! They are the first victims of this battle between you.”

POPE: Concern for poor is sign of Gospel FROM PAGE 1

Make sure, however, that this huge amount of “wealth in the heart” also impacts the wallet, he said, because “when the faith doesn’t reach your pockets, it is not a genuine faith.”

Pope Francis said the “theology of poverty” is based on the fact that Jesus – in his divine richness – became poor; he lowered himself and sacrificed himself to save humanity.

The beatitude, “Blessed are the poor in spirit,” means “letting oneself be enriched by the poverty of Christ and not wanting to be rich with those riches that are not from Christ,” he said.

Christian giving goes beyond plain charity, which is good, but isn’t the “Christian poverty” believers are called to embrace, he said. “Christian poverty is: I give to the poor what is mine, not the excess, but also what is necessary” for one’s own wellbeing.

Christians do this because they know that sacrificing in such a way enriches them, he said. “And why does the poor person enrich me? Because Jesus said that he himself is in the poor.”

The clearest sign Jesus left of how giving enriches others, the pope said, is the gift of himself in the Eucharist. “He becomes ‘bread’ for us.”

That is why the “theology of poverty” is the heart of the Gospel and not “an ideology. It is precisely this mystery, the mystery of Christ who lowered himself, was humiliated, made himself poor in order to enrich us.”

HOLY ORDERS: Cameron Faller, Patrick Summerhays ordained FROM PAGE 1

The ordination Mass was remarkable for the number of families with young children in attendance, as well as about 100 priests, the new priests’ siblings and other family, friends, former parishioners and other well-wishers.

“It’s a great feeling. We all went to USF together,” said Father Summerhays’ friend Joe Carroll, now a married father of four who lives in Sacramento.

The two spent a junior year abroad at Oxford and both are Knights of Columbus, he said. “It’s great to see a normal, everyday guy become a priest. He’s a really good guy.”

Bonnie Faller’s son discovered his vocation on a trip to Lourdes during college with now Spokane Bishop Thomas Daly who was archdiocesan vocations director and president of Marin Catholic at the time. “We’re very proud of him and glad that he said yes to God,” she said. “This is his calling.”

“I am so proud of them,” Archbishop Cordileone said later, in conversation at the reception. “Please continue to pray for them.”

The road to ordination is one marked by tests, evaluations and exams, the archbishop noted in his homily, beginning with a grilling by the vocations director and others before a seminarian is admitted to the seminary, experience in various pastoral and academic settings, and ending with the series of questions asked during ordination.

“The church takes the formation of priests very seriously,” Archbishop Cordileone said. But for every priest, the most important exam is the final exam – when God asks if a priest has lived his vocation for God and for God’s people, the archbishop said.

The Gospel for the ordination was from the Gospel of St. John (Chapter 21:15-17), after his resurrection, when Christ asks St. Peter three times, “Do you love me more than these?” When St. Peter answers in the affirmative, Jesus instructs him, “Feed my lambs. Tend my sheep. Feed my sheep.”

“Your will not mine. This has been true in every age,” Archbishop Cordileone said, citing Blessed Oscar Romero, beatified May 23. The archbishop martyr of El Salvador was assassinated in 1980 while celebrating Mass, just a day after pleading and ordering soldiers to stop killing innocent civilians. “He was a man of great devotion. He did not live his life in an ivory tower,” but lived according to love, Archbishop Cordileone said. “It was his encounter with the poor that changed him.”

Priests “must be motivated by love,” the archbishop said.

Father Faller will be parochial vicar at Church of the Epiphany and will also be assigned to part-time ministry at Archbishop Riordan High School while Father Summerhays will be the new parochial vicar at St. Cecilia Parish in San Francisco, said vocations director Father David Schunk.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING HOLY ORDERS At the ordination Mass June 6, the sacrament of Holy Orders was bestowed in several parts: – Presentation of the candidates to the archbishop by vocations director Father David Schunk, before the archbishop’s homily.

– After the homily, Archbishop Cordileone questioned the men about their willingness to accept the responsibilities of the priestly office, including renewing their promise of respect and obedience to the archbishop and his successors.

– Then the two men prostrated themselves before the altar as those gathered prayed a litany of intercession to the saints.

TENDERNESS: Seek, share God’s mercy with the lost, pope tells priests FROM PAGE 1

an hourlong, off-the-cuff reflection in Spanish, followed by an hour of answering questions from five priests from different continents.

Seated behind a desk in the basilica’s nave, the pope touched on a wide range of topics during the informal exchange, even delivering a number of jokes and wisecracks.

“What’s the difference between priests and bishops?” he asked as he reached past an empty glass to twist open a small plastic bottle of water.

“Priests have to drink water out of the bottle, bishops get a glass,” he said.

Someone later handed the Argentine pope a cup of mate with a silver straw as he checked his notes.

When asked what his “secret” was for evangelizing a world that sees the church as “out of date” and rejects its teachings, the pope said never to resort to proselytism, which is “a caricature of evangelization.”

He said Pope Benedict XVI “was very clear” in saying the church grows by

“attraction,” that people are drawn to Christ’s love manifest in the spiritual and charitable works of his followers.

The question then becomes, “how do I attract with my witness,” Pope Francis asked, explaining it has to come through in one’s words, gestures and concrete service to the poorest and unwanted in the world.

“Let the Holy Spirit provoke curiosity” in onlookers who see Christians serving the poor, the elderly, the sick, the helpless, he said. Let the onlookers wonder: “Why are they doing this?”

“Are they crazy?” Let them wonder why Christians spend their lives on the very people others have thrown away, he said.

The pope said it was important to help the suffering without disparaging them.

Feelings of contempt toward those who suffer or sin is not evangelical and it “creates class war” – a war between mercy and rigid “doctors of the law.”

Priests can be tempted by power and money, and once the devil has come in “through the wallet,” vanity and the sin of pride are quick to follow.

He told priests to be gentle and tender with their flock, like Jesus, and “to love in every circumstance.”

He said it “makes me sad” to see a priest refuse to baptize the infant of a parent who may be unmarried or remarried. The priest “has no right.

Baptism is not to be denied,” he said.

“What are we? Puritans?” he asked.

“Please, a church without Jesus and without mercy – no.”

Do not “terrorize” the faithful, he said; “Don’t make them run away.”

The pope also urged bishops and priests not to be afraid of arguments either among themselves or with the faithful.

“Be a man” and speak directly and frankly with the person concerned, he said. A church without any quarrels is “dead” and the only place on earth where there is no fighting is a cemetery, he said.

The pope focused on the reading from the Book of Hosea (11:1-9), in which God speaks of the infinite and unconditional love he has for his sinning and stubborn children.

Despite their folly, he does not give vent to his “blazing anger” because he is not man, but God, who has chosen to come down to the people and save them, he said.

This is a God who stoops to feed, embraces, teaches children how to walk and draws people near “with bands of love, not punitive laws,” he said.

The problem is, he said, too many people are afraid of God’s tenderness and they don’t let themselves be filled and overcome by it.

Priests who don’t let themselves experience God’s tenderness often are “hard, severe, castigators,” the pope said. “We are priests without tenderness.”

When the Good Shepherd finds his lost sheep, “he doesn’t hit, he doesn’t scold, he takes it in his arms and embraces it and takes care of it because it was wounded. Do you do the same thing with your faithful?”

Remember God’s tenderness, he said, be moved by it and imitate Jesus, who says, “When you are alone, confused, lost, come to me, I will save you, I will console you.”

Assisted suicide: A Catholic perspective

nother physician-assisted suicide bill is moving through the California state Legislature.

Thankfully, its passage is being impeded by effective practical arguments advanced by a coalition of at-risk interest groups, including disability rights groups, organizations of medical professionals, advocacy groups for the poor and the elderly.

It’s also important to consider the case against assisted suicide from the perspective of the Catholic Church. Although arguments based on religious convicVICKI EVANS tions may not necessarily resonate with lawmakers, they should be very important to Catholics from the standpoint of our eternal salvation.

of faith, we may want to look at this issue through a lens of faith, rather than being tempted to accept appeals to personal autonomy, independence and self-determination.

Assisted suicide is rooted in the false belief that death represents the end of all suffering. But this is not what the church teaches about life after death.

We know “through faith, that death is not necessarily the end of all suffering, and that eternal life is not inevitably achieved by death, but requires the forgiveness of sins and the atonement for sin through the acceptance of our own suffering – either before or after death – in union with the redemptive suffering, death and resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ,” says Dr. George Isajiw, past president, Catholic Medical Association.

Studies confirm that most who have turned to assisted suicide do not do so because of intractable pain. Modern pain control techniques and palliative care are generally quite effective in alleviating physi-

The banking of sperm and eggs before cancer treatments

oth chemotherapy and radiation can affect sexual organs and how they work. The American Cancer Society addresses the potential effects on male fertility this way: “Chemo may lower the number of sperm cells, reduce their ability to move, or cause other changes. … Because permanent sterility (infertility) may occur, it’s important to discuss this issue with your doctor BEFORE you start chemo.

You might want to think about banking your sperm for future use.”

Various moral concerns arise in the wake of the proposal to freeze reproductive cells like eggs or sperm. Catholic teaching has always stressed the importance of the mariFATHER TADEUSZ tal act in bringing about PACHOLCZYK new human life. Even if sperm were procured in a morally-acceptable way – i.e. not through withdrawal or masturbation – the subsequent use of the sperm sample would involve techniques that were either directly immoral (such as in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection), or at least of a dubious moral character (such as Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) or intrauterine insemination (IUI).

These latter two techniques, GIFT and IUI, have never been directly mentioned in official church documents, so the question of whether they might be morally allowable continues to be discussed among Catholic moral theologians.

GIFT involves collecting sperm after the marital act, placing it near an egg – but separated by an air bubble – within a thin, flexible tube called a catheter. After insertion into a woman’s reproductive tract, the sex cells are injected into her fallopian tube so fertilization can occur inside her body, rather than in a petri dish. Meanwhile, IUI (also known as artificial insemination or AI) involves the placement of sperm into a woman’s uterus by a catheter or a means other than a natural act of intercourse.

An important Vatican document known as “Donum Vitae” (“On the Gift of Life”) emphasizes that morally acceptable interventions used in procreation cannot be a substitute for the marital act but should serve to facilitate that act to attain its natural purpose. Even when sperm is collected in an acceptable manner, by using a silastic sheath during marital relations (i.e. a perforated condom without any spermicide), it still appears that the subsequent steps of GIFT and IUI involve a substitution/replacement of the conjugal act by injecting the sex cells into

MAKING SENSE OUT OF BIOETHICS

the woman’s body via a cannula. In other words, the marital act does not itself cause a future pregnancy but only enables the collection of sperm, which is then used for another procedure that brings about the pregnancy.

For these reasons, GIFT and IUI do not appear to be morally acceptable, and I generally discourage married men undergoing cancer treatments from banking their sperm, since there do not appear to be any legitimate procreative uses once the sample has been stored.

The situation is more nuanced when it comes to the question of banking a woman’s eggs or ova.

We can identify at least one technique for assisting procreation called LTOT, or Low Tubal Ovum Transfer, that would be morally acceptable and could be carried out using previously-frozen eggs.

Originally designed for women with blocked, damaged, or diseased fallopian tubes, LTOT relocates her egg, placing it into the fallopian tube below the point of damage so that her husband’s sperm, introduced into her body by the marital act, can reach the egg and bring about fertilization. LTOT, however, is performed only rarely, and it can be challenging to find a reproductive specialist who routinely does the technique.

There are, moreover, safety concerns about the process of egg retrieval from a woman’s body, about the high-dose hormones used, and about cryopreservation of the eggs. Strong chemicals are used in the freezing process, and no one knows how much the eggs might absorb. Moreover, there has been little systematic follow-up of children born from frozen eggs, so it remains unclear whether they face increased health risks when they arise from an egg that has been frozen and thawed.

In principle, nevertheless, if the egg harvesting step could be carried out with low risk to women, if the egg freezing process would not cause any deleterious effects on children who might later come into being, and if the eggs were only used for morally legitimate purposes like LTOT, freezing a woman’s eggs would appear to be morally allowable.

Another emerging method of preserving fertility for cancer patients relies on the removal and freezing of sections of the ovary (rather than individual eggs). This ovarian tissue can later be grafted back into a woman’s body following chemotherapy allowing her to again ovulate naturally and, in some cases, conceive naturally.

A number of babies have been born as a result of this technique, and insofar as a woman were enabled to conceive a child through marital acts with her husband, this approach also would not seem to raise any fundamental moral concerns.

cal pain. However, suffering is more profound than physical pain. It involves enduring fear of the circumstances of our death, fear of the dying process, fear of the unknown, fear of the loss of loved ones.

Those who have chosen assisted suicide have documented the anguish they and their families experience over choosing the date they will die. Will it be too early? Will it be too late? The problem of timing has been a running theme at conferences held by the World Federation of Right-to-Die Societies, a collection of 51 member organizations that advocate for right-to-die laws in 23 countries. Rather than enhancing freedom and personal autonomy, the right-to-die movement had made its adherents responsible for the timing and circumstances of their own deaths.

It’s so much simpler to trust in the love and mercy of God and let him decide.

Today, this is not allowed.

Welcome to the irony of the country’s greatest symbol of freedom in which liberties of the past are in the past.

As a child, I would watch planes circle the skies and imagine the freedom that birds enjoy floating through space. These days, when I use my cellphone, I wonder if the plane flying above me FATHER EUGENE is listening in on my converHEMRICK sation. Welcome to the age of communication that allows us to reach out to others more extensively but one that also has diminished privacy dramatically.

We now possess high-speed automobiles that ironically often end up crawling because of congested traffic. We live in an age of fast food aimed at cutting time and speeding up eating habits. It is also the age of indigestion and the loss of enjoying slowly savored food.

We are never bored thanks to cellphones and home entertainment centers. Ironically, in the process, smelling the roses is becoming a lost art.

Welcome to a new inventive world that is diminishing the art of silently enjoying the outside world.

Ironically, for every forward step we make, we take two steps back. Why is this? One reason is that even though we live in a world of novel inventions that are signs of progress, these inventions also have the potential to become addictions.

Speedy cars, lightning fast computers, larger television screens, bigger sound systems and phones that can be used for more than talking are just a few of the exciting inventions of our time. And yet, in employing them, we find ourselves taking two steps backs because of new needs they produce.

These uncontrolled needs drown us in anxieties that go with maintaining them. How do we prevent this from happening?

Ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus tells us, “If one oversteps the bounds of moderation, the greatest pleasures cease to please.” Moderation is one good way we can avoid addictions that have the potential to consume us.

And, too, the privacy that seems to be fading into the past need not be if we take steps to protect and cherish it. We have technology that allows us the physical freedom to carry a phone wherever we go, exposing those around us to what we are saying to others. Yet, we should avoid this practice out of respect for the privacy of others and our own.

All it takes to go forward and not backward in this age is to be in control, to see the good in modern invention, while avoiding its pitfalls.

POPE FRANCIS

The family: The closest hospital Catholic San Francisco will present Vatican Information Service reports on the pope’s catechesis on the family given at his Wednesday general audience in Vatican City, leading up to the Oct. 4-25 Synod of Bishops on the vocation and mission of the family.

CATECHESIS ON THE FAMILY

VATICAN INFORMATION SERVICE

VATICAN CITY – Illness, a common experience in the life of families from childhood until advanced age, was the theme of Pope Francis’ catechesis during his Wednesday.

June 11, general audience. “The family has always been the ‘closest hospital,’ and still, today, in many parts of the world, the hospital is a privilege enjoyed by few, and is often far away. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and grandparents provide care and help heal the sick,” the pope said.

In the Gospel there are many encounters between Jesus and the sick, and his commitment to caring for them. Christ “presents himself publicly as one who fights against sickness and who has come to cure man of every ill: ills of the spirit and of the body.” The pope remarked that the scene in the Gospel of Mark – “that evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons” – is

“truly moving. … If I think of today’s great cities, I ask myself, where are the doors before which we can bring the sick, hoping they will be healed. Jesus never withdrew from their care, he never passed them by, he never turned away. And when a father or a mother, or even simply friends brought an invalid before him, for him to touch and heal, he wasted no time; healing came before the law, even sacred laws such as rest on the Sabbath”.

Jesus sent his disciples to fulfill the same task and he gave them the power to heal, the pope said: “We

must keep in mind what he said to the disciples in the episode of the man born blind. The disciples – with the blind man before them – debated about who had sinned, him or his parents, to provoke his blindness.

The Lord said clearly: neither him nor his parents; ‘but that the works of God might be displayed in him.’

And he healed him. Here is the glory of God! Here is the task of the church! To help the sick, not to get lost in talk. To help, console, alleviate, always to be near: This is her task.”

The pope continued, “The Church

invites us to continual prayer for our dear ones who are sick, and prayer for them must never be lacking. Rather, we must pray more, both personally and as a community. … Faced with sickness, difficulties can also arise in the family as a result of human weakness. But in general illness strengthens family bonds. And I think of how important it is to educate children, starting from infancy, on the importance of solidarity in times of sickness.

An education that shelters them from sensitivity to human sickness hardens the heart and anaesthetizes the young to the suffering of others, rendering them incapable of facing up to suffering and living the experience of limits.”

The pope concluded, “The weakness and suffering of our most loved ones … can be … a school of life … and especially when illness is accompanied by prayer and the fraternal, affectionate closeness of families. The Christian community is well aware that the family, during the trials of sickness, must not be left alone. … This Christian closeness of family to family, is a true treasure for a parish: a treasure of wisdom, that helps families in difficult moments and enables them to understand the kingdom of God more clearly than through words.”

LETTERS State of the Fourth Estate

The essays by columnists toward Archbishop Cordileone demonstrate the pathetic state of the Fourth Estate within San Francisco and its environs. The archbishop is pro-life and believes in the sanctity of the marital contract among women and men. His expression of these beliefs, repeat, expression of these beliefs has been the subject of scribed assaults by a monolithic press. The press, of all our institutions, should not even use subliminal suggestion to intimidate this cleric.

Even to associate with such negative actions demonstrates a need within the Fourth Estate for a diversity within the local newspapers so as to cultivate a tolerance toward the expression by women and men of principle and viewpoints that may be deemed politically incorrect, i.e., as differing with the far left elements within the Fourth Estate, the social-welfare-bureaucratic complex, and other institutions which are, for the most part, minions of the radical left.

Embrace wisdom, invoke compassion

Between me and my three siblings we have 32 years with the Sisters of the Holy Name at St. Mark’s School; we have six with the Jesuits at Loyola High School. We have six years with the Franciscans at St Anthony’s Seminary; two with the Sisters of Notre Dame and another two with the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart. We have six more with the Jesuits at Loyola Marymount University.

I can’t keep up with the years my nephews and nieces attended Eastside Catholic, Seton Hall, and Boston College but I can celebrate the sacrifice sending our son to four years at Georgetown University with another bunch of Jesuits!

If this Catholic Church with its respected and accomplished history in education hopes to survive into the 22nd century, should we stop teaching our children to question authority or challenge their minds or explore their spiritual curiosity? Of course not! Embrace wisdom, invoke compassion.

Encourage yourselves to find ways to adapt your teachings. The education you have given us has made blind acquiescence to fractured truths impossible and the heat is felt almost daily. A gracious

path of collaboration and respect shall keep you relevant in all you do.

Inclusive terminology

Re “Racism: Paradox of the unique and universal,” commentary, June 12: Thank you for including the “mixed-race” community in your article. We use the term “multiracial,” but understand that people do use other terminology that may not be as inclusive or respectable. Unfortunately, we at Project RACE (www.projectrace.com) must deal with these issues daily.

Archdiocese needs Solomon

The 108 “committed Catholics” who petitioned Pope Francis to remove Archbishop Cordileone have been committed to every San Francisco archbishop – including Archbishop Cordileone.

Their distress over the teachers’ handbook and employment contract deserve hearing. Bishops are ordained to listen and to teach the joyful and the distressed. The American bishops are not listening. If “ex-Catholics” were a religion, they would be the third-largest in the United States, exceeded only by Catholics and Baptists (Pew Research 2015 Religious Landscape Study).

Clinicians diagnose as a manic disorder the compulsion to publicly preface one’s identity with a salutary adjective such as “committed” and relate to higher authorities – the pope – or politicians who presume power to take life with assisted suicide and abortion. “Committed Catholics” and less noble Catholics both should heed the wisdom of Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput in “Render Unto Caesar” (Random House, 2009): He

reminds Catholics that the Pharisee in the temple also proclaimed he was “committed” to his faith.

The bold archbishop wrote: “We can’t talk piously about immigration, health care, poverty, homelessness if we are not willing to act on our beliefs. The church in the USA has done a poor job forming the conscience of Catholics … It gave no mandate to retool marriage, family, sexuality, bioethics, religion.”

Too late for ‘reality check’

Re “Dublin Archbishop: Church needs ‘reality check’ after marriage vote,” June 5: Archbishop Martin and Italian Cardinal Parolin and German Cardinal Kasper are quoted lamenting the Irish vote to redefine marriage. One cardinal stated that the vote “shows the church has been too quiet on these issues. Now is the time to discuss them.” I have a clue for the cardinal. Now is too late. They blew it big time; the time to start discussing it was almost decades ago, when signs of the movement were showing up all over the Western world. Now broken, it’s going to be very difficult to put this egg back together.

Unfortunately, the same thing is true for our country. It’s embarrassing that it started its momentum in San Francisco. The California Catholic bishops put up some serious money years ago to pass Proposition 8 to save traditional marriage, and it was approved by the voters, with help from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

But few local pastors personally supported the effort; only about half allowed pamphlets or signs to be distributed after Masses, and very few discussed the issue in homilies. There are now probably tens of thousands of immigrant Catholics in the area that have never heard a priest discuss it.

PSALM 107:23-24, 25-26, 28-29, 30-31 © 2001 CNS Give thanks to the Lord, his love is everlasting.

They who sailed the sea in ships, trading on the deep waters; these saw the works of the Lord and his wonders in the abyss.

Give thanks to the Lord, his love is everlasting.

His command raised up a storm wind which tossed its waves on high. They mounted up to heaven; they sank to the depths; their hearts melted away in their plight.

Give thanks to the Lord, his love is everlasting.

They cried to the Lord in their distress; from their straits he rescued them, He hushed the storm to a gentle breeze, and the billows of the sea were stilled.

Give thanks to the Lord, his love is everlasting.

They rejoiced that they were calmed, and he brought them to their desired haven. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his kindness and his wondrous deeds to the children of men.

Give thanks to the Lord, his love is everlasting.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-17 Brothers and sisters: The love of Christ impels us, once we have come to the conviction that one died for all; therefore, all have died. He indeed died for all, so that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

Consequently, from now on we regard no one according to the flesh; even if we once knew Christ according

to the flesh, yet now we know him so no longer. So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

MARK 4:35-41 On that day, as evening drew on, Jesus said to his disciples: “Let us cross to the other side.” Leaving the crowd, they took Jesus with them in the boat just as he was. And other boats were with him. A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, “Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?” They were filled with great awe and said to one another, “Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?”

Called to blind trust in God’s power and love

T

he Book of Job is about the problem of suffering: How can the goodness and power of God be reconciled with the reality of suffering in the world? Where is God in my suffering? How can God expect me to be a disciple and a believer with such anguish in my heart, with such pain in my life?

Job reveals the answer to us as he experiences the whole drama of the problem.

In our First Reading, we enter the story at the moment when God is remonstrating Job for his pride. Prior to this passage, Job had grumbled violently and angrily against God, Who had permitted the devil to inflict upon Job so much suffering and evil.

Now God is commanding FATHER JOSEPH Job to trust in Him. The PREVITALI Creator asserts, by reference to His marvelous work of creation, that He is God and that Job is a creature.

This means that the Creator owes no answer to the

SCRIPTURE REFLECTION

creature, that, as Isaiah has it, the clay does not say to the potter, What are you making, that has no hands? It is as if God is saying to Job and to us, as He said in the Psalm: “Be still and know that I am God.” In the midst of our suffering and our experience of evil around us and in us, God is saying with His whole Heart, Trust in Me, Who made you; Trust in My Providence and in My Love.

God is revealing here to Job that Job’s complaint was coming from ugly hidden pride. Job thought that he knew better than God, that he knew better what was good for him and what made for his happiness. By complaining, Job was saying to God, I deserve a better life and I’m angry and in anguish that You have taken this away from me. Job demanded answers. God’s call to trust scatters the shadow of Job’s hidden pride and brings him into the light of humility and faith.

The same dynamic of the call to trust blindly in God’s Love comes to us in our Gospel passage from St. Mark. The Apostles were terrified by the storm.

Their boat was being buffeted about by the rough waters and powerful winds, and there was Jesus, asleep in their boat as if nothing were the matter.

How often does God feel absent to us in the midst of our anguish? The Apostles were going through

the same thing. They grumbled fearfully in their hearts, Where is Jesus the Healer and Wonderworker in this storm? How many times do we ask, Where is Jesus in the storms of my life?

The solution to the problem of suffering in Job is identical to that of the problem of the storm in the Gospel: “Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?” Jesus’ words reveal the hidden pride of the Apostles, who were relying on themselves and so were afraid when they were not able to handle the storm on their own. The Apostles were just like Job, in their own way, and now Jesus is calling them to the same blind trust in His Power and Love.

June is the Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Jesus’ open Heart is the full answer to our suffering, the perfection of the wisdom given to Job and to the Apostles. In our encounter with His beating Heart of Love, which stopped beating for three days, we discover the ultimate solution to the problem of suffering. Where is God in my suffering?

Where is Jesus in the storms of my life? He is there always with me, hanging on the Cross. Where am I? FATHER PREVITALI is parochial vicar at Our Lady of the Pillar Parish, Half Moon Bay.

INSURANCE: Insurance is NOT included in the tour price. Because of the cost of medical care outside the United States, the fact that Medicare does not provide coverage outside the United States, the possibility that your own insurance provider may not cover you outside the United States, and due to the potentially high cost of escorted air evacuation, travel insurance is strongly recommended. Consequently, for the protection of our clients, you will be mailed a travel insurance brochure/policy along with an insurance waiver form in the event you choose to decline coverage. The effective date of coverage will be the date that the insurance premium is paid and not the date of the initial deposit.

Pope Francis popularizes devotion to Sleeping St. Joseph VALERIE SCHMALZ CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO

Statues of a Sleeping St. Joseph are flying off the shelves in the Philippines and travelers are bringing them back to the United States, popularizing a novena to the foster father of Jesus and patron saint of the Catholic Church after Pope Francis spoke of his personal devotion during his visit to the Philippines in January.

Pope Francis, who has had a statue of a sleeping St. Joseph on his desk for decades, brought the statue he had in Argentina with him to the Vatican when he was elected pope. He told the story of his devotion during his Jan. 16 meeting with families in Manila, saying he places slips of paper under his statue of a sleeping St. Joseph when he has a special problem.

The pope’s devotion to St. Joseph meant he chose to celebrate the inaugural Mass of his pontificate on March 19, the feast of St. Joseph.

“Even when he is asleep, he is taking care of the church! Yes! We know that he can do that. So when I have a problem, a difficulty, I write a little note and I put it underneath St. Joseph, so that he can dream about it! In other words I tell him: Pray for this problem!” Pope Francis said. “Do not forget St. Joseph who sleeps! Jesus slept with the protection of Joseph.”

We also must rest in prayer and dream, the pope told the families in the Philippines.

“The Scriptures seldom speak of St. Joseph, but when they do, we often find him resting, as an angel reveals God’s will to him in his dreams,” Pope

Crime Survivors Assistance Support Training

PRAYER TO THE SLEEPING ST. JOSEPH Oh St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

So that having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving Fathers. Oh St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart.

Press him in my name and kiss his fine head for me and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.

St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for me and my loved ones. Amen

Florian Romero, development associate in the archdiocesan development office, hands Archbishop Cordileone a statue of a Sleeping St. Joseph. Below, a closeup of the statue.

Francis said. “Joseph’s rest revealed God’s will to him. In this moment of rest in the Lord, as we pause from our many daily obligations and activities, God is also speaking to us.”

San Franciscan Florian Romero, who visits her family in the Philippines frequently, said the devotion to St. Joseph emphasizes Pope Francis’ focus on the importance of the family, quoting his Jan. 16 speech: “But like St. Joseph, once we have heard God’s voice, we must rise from our slumber; we must get up and act.”

“Pope Francis said on that occasion that faith does not distance us from the world. On the contrary, it brings us closer. For that reason, St. Joseph is a model father for the Christian family. He overcame the difficulties of life because he rested with God,” Romero said.

TO ADVERTISE IN CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO

A billboard advertising information about reversing the abortion pill appeared at the end of May at the corner of Valencia Street and Cesar Chavez Boulevard in San Francisco – in clear sight of anyone going into the Planned Parenthood clinic on Valencia Street.

Walk for Life West Coast co-chairs Eva Muntean and Dolores Meehan have leased the billboard from May 25-June 21 and then again beginning in October for two years, Muntean said. “We’re very excited about the possibilities - the potential for many lives being saved is huge,” Muntean said.

The billboard is in English and Spanish and provides a website and 24/7 telephone number for abortion pill reversal (abortionpillreversal.com and (877) 558-0333). Muntean said a high number of clients at the clinic are obtaining RU 486.

One of the speakers at the 2015 Walk for Life was a young woman who had successfully reversed RU 486 and she spoke and introduced her healthy child who survived the first dose of the abortion pill.
