San Francisco’s farewell to Archbishop John R. Quinn

After a solemn, hymn-filled funeral Mass at St. Mary’s Cathedral on July 10 attended by three cardinals, 24 bishops and archbishops and hundreds of clergy, religious and faithful, deacons carry the archbishop’s coffin to a waiting vehicle for transportation to Holy Cross Cemetery mausoleum in Colma. Speakers celebrated Archbishop Quinn’s love for Christ, prayer, the priesthood and the church, and shared his gratitude for those who cared for him during his final illness. Archbishop Quinn, who served from 1977-95 as sixth archbishop of San Francisco, died June 22 at age 88. Coverage starts on Page 12.

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has approved a fourth pathway to possible sainthood – giving one’s life in a heroic act of loving service to others. In a new apostolic letter, the pope approved new norms allowing for candidates to be considered for sainthood because of the heroic way they freely risked their lives and died prematurely because of “an extreme act of charity.” The document, given “motu proprio” (on his own initiative) went into effect the same day of its publication July 11, with the title “Maiorem hac dilectionem,” which comes from the Gospel according to St. John (15:13): “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Archbishop Marcello Bartolucci, secretary of the see sainthood, page 7

‘Moving forward’: Seminary names new faculty, boosts recruiting Rick DelVecchio Catholic San Francisco

St. Patrick’s Seminary & University is welcoming five new professors and expects to admit as many as 15 new seminarians from six dioceses for the upcoming academic year, as new rector-president and vice chancellor Jesuit Father George Schultze reaches out to bishops in several Western states to encourage them to consider the Menlo Park seminary for priestly formation. Jesuit Father Father Schultze briefed Catholic George Schultze San Francisco on these and other details of the seminary’s transition to new leadership and a new faculty mix following the departure of the Society of St. Sulpice, whose priests had served St. Patrick’s in administration and instruction since the seminary opened in 1891. Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone named Father Schultze to lead the archdiocese-owned institution in February and his appointment was effective June 1. The seminary has named five new professors from

among 79 priests, religious and qualified lay academics who applied, Father Schultze said. “It’s a nonstop-and-go situation,” he said. “We are just moving forward. The Sulpicians who were leaving participated in interviewing some of the new faculty as well. They want the seminary to be a success.” The new hires include three priests who have served as parish priests “and support the seminary’s goal of fully integrating its programs to insure that both pastoral and academic needs are well-served,” the seminary announced. The new faculty members are: Father Michael Carey, OP, associate professor of moral theology, chair of the Moral Theology Department; Jeffrey Froula, Ph.D., assistant professor of moral theology; Father Khoa Nguyen, OFM, assistant director of spiritual life; Father Vito Perrone, COSJ, director of spiritual life; Father Pius Pietrzyk, OP, assistant professor of pastoral studies, chair of the Pastoral Studies Department; Matthew Thomas, D.Phil., visiting assistant professor of sacred Scripture; Margaret Turek, STD, professor of dogmatics, director of the MA Program. The five join 10 returning faculty members, including Father Patrick Hartin, previously of the Diocese of Johannesburg, South Africa, and now of the Dio-

cese of Spokane, Washington. The author of 18 books, he returns as visiting professor of sacred Scripture. Father Schultze, formerly a longtime instructor and spiritual director at St. Patrick’s, described the importance of a pastoral approach that combines charity and truth. “The idea of charity and truth – that’s what we’re about, and sometimes in the pastoral approach in people’s minds you focus on charity without ever having an explanation for what is true, what is right, what is beautiful,” he said. “The pastoral approach we have going forward is never devoid of reason, of an intellectual foundation as to why we believe in charity. That is how our faith is lived out in this world. “We are at the point in our society … where we should be more vocal,” Father Schultze said. “We should share what we believe rather than simply conceding or retreating. Prudence requires courage. Prudence requires saying we know at times it’s hard for others to hear but we’re doing this out of love of charity and we’re going to do this in a peaceful, generous and good way as fruits of the Holy Spirit.” He said the seminary stands for a consistent ethic

Patristic vision of Jesus’ human face inspires local Catholic painter Christina Gray Catholic San Francisco

Church of the Nativity, Menlo Park, parishioner Lisa Andrews had done a number of devotional paintings in her career as a fine artist, but never a portrait of Jesus before she was commissioned by the Cathedral of the Holy Name in Steubenville, Ohio, to do just that. “I was quite concerned that I do him justice,” said Andrews of the 24-by-20-inch work named “The Word Made Flesh,” shipped to the Diocese of Steubenville on June 25. Everyone has an idea about what Jesus should look like, she said, often colored by images they have seen in the past. “It’s a real challenge not to fall into the trap of ‘copying’ something already done,” said Andrews. Her paintings at Franciscan University of Steubenville and churches in the area caught the notice of the local diocese, which commissioned the painting for the cathedral, now under renovation. Andrews said she wanted to offer “as truthful a representation as I could make of his human person” while staying faithful to the intent of the early Christian fathers who developed a theology around the sacred image of the Lord. She read Austrian Cardinal Christoph Schonborn’s book “God’s Human Face” (Ignatius Press 1994), in which he describes the visage of Christ

Church of the Nativity parishioner Lisa Andrews in front of “The Word Made Flesh,” her painting of Jesus commissioned by the Cathedral of the Holy Name in Steubenville, Ohio. that emerged by artists during the fourth century.

“The conviction spread that these were Christ’s outward looks: long, parted hair; a full beard; delicate, elongated facial features; large serious eyes gazing at the onlooker,” he writes on Page 96. The Shroud of Turin was Andrews’ “model” in creating “The Word Made Flesh,” “an intensely personal journey” in which she felt her subject was “guiding me throughout the process.” Despite her attention to these human details, Andrews’ painting bears a profoundly spiritual message about the risen Christ. Jesus’ hands, seen in the traditional pose of blessing, bear the marks of the Passion. A “halo” of Aramaic text, seen behind him on an ancient scroll, is illuminated in 24-karat gold leaf, revealing the reason for the painting’s name. “Just as he brought light into the world, Jesus illuminated the sacred texts,” she said. “God became manifest in a physical way, which illuminated the Scripture outward.” Framed in a custom “tabernacle” frame designed by Andrews, the painting was displayed at her parish for a week before it left for its final destination, where it will hang in the renovated cathedral. In the meantime, local parishes will take turns hosting the painting in their own churches. “I wanted to provide the average viewer of this era a means of relating to Christ in a visual vernacular that is familiar and accessible,” said Andrews.

Gov. Brown signs budget with more money for abortion, assisted suicide Valerie Schmalz Catholic San Francisco

Gov. Jerry Brown signed the 2017-18 California state budget with no line-item vetoes – leaving in place more funding for abortion and increased Medi-Cal funding for physician-assisted suicide. “Taxpayer funding of abortions for Medi-Cal patients puts the state in a one-sided role of expanding and promoting abortion on a statewide level,” the California Catholic Conference said in a statement that urged the governor, unsuccessfully, to veto Medi-Cal funding for abortion. The budget, which took effect with the new fiscal year July 1, was signed by Gov. Brown June 27. The Catholic conference applauded the inclusion in the $183 billion budget of $45 million in

immigration funding to help Catholic Charities and other nonprofits provide legal services and education. Other budget items praised by the conference were: – Appropriation of $1.3 million for the implementation of a palliative care services program for Medi-Cal recipients, which the California bishops and others had advocated. – $4 million to attract STEM and military professionals into teaching jobs; $20 million for teacher credentialing for classified employees; and $10 million in professional development for bilingual teachers. – $7.9 million to reinstate 2,959 full-day state preschool slots for low-income families – Full funding for Cal Grants that are used at private colleges and universities; and funding for The

Middle Class Scholarship Program for students at California’s two public university systems. – Expansion of the California Earned Income Tax credit. The budget extends the credit to selfemployed workers and raises the income eligibility threshold to $22,360, helping an additional 134,000 low-income households.

‘Prayer not something only done in church,’ SI coach, teacher says Tom Burke catholic San Francisco

Among lessons learned for St. Ignatius College Prep former girls’ cross country coach Anne Stricherz is “that every coach should make space for silence and prayer during practice.” Anne’s muse for the guidance was former SI football coach Joe Vollert on a day years ago when their teams shared some practice space. “Joe invited his athletes to stretch in silence Anne Stricherz and to use that time to pray,” Anne said. “He wanted that time to be intentional.” Joe, an SI alumnus, is vice president for advancement for SI today. Anne is now girls’ junior varsity golf coach and also teaches religious studies at the school. Anne took the time to expand on the “silence and prayer” exhortation in her book “Pray and Practice with Purpose: A Playbook for the Spiritual Development of Athletes.” The book offers more than two dozen ways coaches can integrate prayer into coaching: “Some prayers you can do as a team, some are social, and others are service-oriented,” Anne said. Anne relies on thanks when she and her teams raise their voices to God. “I ask my girls to stand in a circle and share something they are grateful for,” Anne said. “Then we pray for anyone in need of God’s grace, and then we share a ‘wow’ moment – something that happened at a match that inspired us.” Anne spent three years gathering material for the book from fellow coaches at schools including SI, Bellarmine, De La Salle, Sacred Heart Cathedral, Carondelet, Archbishop Mitty, and her alma mater the University of Notre Dame. Anne says many coaches are “hungry to develop our athletes not just physically but also spiritually. In the midst of our seasons, we lack the time. I hope this book ends up in the hands of every coach, as it has the potential to change the culture of a team.” The effort toward enhancing the spirituality dimension in sports at SI once included giving team members cards with a team motto and a prayer they could say anytime. Anne said she has seen the cards “taped inside lockers” and that she has heard many students have taken the cards with them to college. AMDG, the Jesuit motto “for the greater glory of God” crowned each card, Anne said. In addition to prepared prayers, Anne’s book offers the story behind the prayer, a prayer

Pictured from left are the friars’ newly elected provincial council: Father Joseph Seraphin Dederick, OFM Cap., vicar; Father Tony Marti, OFM Cap., councilor; Father Harold Snider, OFM Cap., provincial minister; Brother Tran Vu, OFM Cap., councilor; Father Hung Nguyen, OFM Cap., councilor. “The theme of the Provincial Chapter was ‘Serving the Lord as Pilgrims in this World,’ the Capuchins said. “It was a fraternal experience with an opportunity to reflect upon our life as Capuchins.” Our Lady of Angels Parish, Burlingame has been entrusted to the Capuchins since its founding in 1926. There are 38 perpetually professed friars serving in the province.

CONGRATS: Notre Dame High School, Belmont graduates Kiana Afshar, Michelle Pineda, and Isabelle Way were awarded Rotary Scholarships in a process that included an interview with five members of the esteemed organization. “The scholarship emphasizes the importance of service and putting others above oneself,” the school said. Kiana begins classes in the fall at Cal, Michelle at Canada Community College and Isabelle at the University of Alabama.

activity and suggestions for taking the prayer deeper. Praying with students “strengthens our sense of community and helps us become the body of Christ in a different way,” Anne said.

Marin Knights help St. Isabella priest build school in Uganda Christina Gray Catholic San Francisco

A new Catholic school will break ground on July 23 in East Africa thanks to funds raised by the Marin Knights of Columbus #1292 and the Marin Catholic High School community. The construction of St. Mary’s Primary School (grades one through seven) in Kabuga, Kamwenge, Western Uganda, is the dream of Ugandaborn Father Samuel Musiimenta, now serving as parochial vicar at St. Isabella Parish in San Rafael. Father Musiimenta was born at a refugee resettlement camp in Uganda in 1976 during the reign of Uganda President Idi Amin whose rule was characterized by human rights abuses, political repression, ethnic persecution and killings. Poverty remains deep-rooted in rural Uganda, which is home of 84 percent of Ugandans. In December 2016, Father Musiimenta met

A June 17 fundraiser in Marin County organized by the Marin Knights of Columbus #1292 raised funds to help build a Catholic primary school in the village of Kabuga, Kamwege in Western Uganda. From left: St. Isabella Parish parochial vicar Father Samuel Musiimenta; St. Isabella parishioner Sherry Jervis; Marin Catholic teacher Joe Tassone; St. Isabella parishioner Marcia Jervis.

Marin Knight Joe Tassone, a social studies and theology teacher at Marin Catholic High School in Greenbrae, who asked how the school and the Knights could support the people of Uganda. “I immediately asked him to help mobilize people to help our parochial school in Kabuga, Kamwenge, Western Uganda,” said Father Musiimenta about the project village priest Father Tukwasibweto, is leading. “It is through education that our people will be liberated and thanks to God that we got the money.” A fundraiser dinner hosted by the Marin Knights on June 17 brought in $4,460 for the project, and Marin Catholic students raised another $1,000. Father Musiimenta, the Marin Knights and Marin Catholic High School are racing toward a goal of raising another $1,000 to plaster the walls. “God bless the work of your hands,” said Father Musiimenta in gratitude for the contributors, who included the Marin Network for Life.

6 ARCHDiocesE USF names dean of School of Education

The University of San Francisco has announced Shabnam Koirala-Azad as dean of the USF School of Education. Koirala-Azad has been interim dean since January 2017 and “a leading academic” at the school of education since 2005, USF said in a statement. Koirala-Azad, born and raised in Nepal, is the first woman to Shabnam serve as dean of the USF School Koirala-Azad of Education since its founding in 1947. She holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in education and teaching from Mount Holyoke College and graduate and doctoral degrees from UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Education. Koirala-Azad will oversee more than 20 credential, master and doctoral programs, USF said. “Dean Koirala-Azad is an inspiring female, immigrant voice and an expert on a broad range of global and national education issues.

The McGrath Institute was named for donors Bob and Joan McGrath after they made a transformational gift of $6 million in April 2017, the largest gift in the School of Education’s history. The work of the new entity follows on the legacy of the Institute for Catholic Educational Leadership founded more than 40 years ago by Dominican Sister Mary Peter Traviss, now retired at her community’s motherhouse in Fremont. ICEL has been an iconic element in the formation of hundreds of educators who have served and serve today in Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of San Francisco.

Two parishes join hands in act of mercy for refugee family Christina Gray Catholic San Francisco

St. Denis Parish in Menlo Park and St. Leo the Great Parish in Oakland have little in common except the faith of their members and the Azimi family, Afghan refugees they worked together over the past six months to resettle into a new life in the East Bay. Affluent, suburban St. Denis (and sister parish Our Lady of the Wayside in Portola Valley) in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, teamed up by chance this spring with the ethnically diverse St. Leo in the Oakland diocese, members of which met the young family of four at the airport when they arrived almost unannounced late one cold November night last year wearing only the light clothing they took out of their refugee camp. St. Leo Parish responded to Bishop Michael C. Barber’s call to Oakland diocese parishes in 2016 to co-sponsor a refugee family with the Catholic Charities of the East Bay Refugee Resettlement Program, according to St. Leo parish council vice president Donna Schmitt. Catholic Charities of the East Bay has been welcoming refugees vetted by the United States and providing for their needs with a six-month goal of self-sufficiency for more than 40 years, according to its website. Catholic Charities put up the newly arrived family in a hotel for a few days, according to Schmidt. A family from Corpus Christi Parish in Piedmont gave them a renovated portion of their home for a month until an appropriate apartment was found in San Leandro. St. Leo parishioners signed up to provide the family’s practical needs, such as housewares, baby clothing and even a car while collections raised about $14,000 – impressive but about half as much as Catholic Charities estimated the family would need to resettle.

Three months later as the plight of refugees became an ever-hotter subject of national debate, longtime St. Denis parishioner Marge Destaebler, 85, went to the parish outreach committee with a Lenten outreach idea inspired by Pope Francis. “Our pope said that every parish in Rome should sponsor a refugee family,” said Destaebler. “Why can’t we do that here?” The response from pastor Father Paul O’Dell and the parish was overwhelmingly positive. Destaebler called Catholic Charities of San Francisco and soon found that the high cost of housing in San Francisco made refugee resettlement unworkable. She was connected to Sister Elizabeth Lang, director of refugee resettlement for Catholic Charities of the East Bay who told her about St. Leo Parish, which was unable to provide complete funding for the family for the six-month duration. She spoke with Catholic Charities Steve Mullin, also who she said was “happy to find a parish would fill the gap between what the St. Leo community could provide and what was needed.” Schmitt came out to both St. Denis and to Our Lady of the Wayside to speak to parishioners at all the Masses and a photo of the family and their story was included in the bulletin. The parish set a goal of $20,000 and exceeded it. The father, a former driver for the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, now has two jobs, including one as a driver for Lyft, and works seven days a week. “The family is self-sufficient at this point,” said Schmitt, who personally took the family on long errands to sign up for Medi-Cal, to get a driver’s license and other necessities. “I think it’s going to be very exciting going forward,” said St. Denis parishioner Mary Chan, who hinted at the promise of continuing to partner with the Oakland parish. “As long as St. Leo does the heavy lifting, we’ll be the rich uncle on the other side.”

of life and “we’re not looking for a pharisaical approach.” “We hold to revelation and church doctrine; we recognize and support it,” Father Schultze said. “There are not going to be any attempts at political manipulation. It’s not an attempt to move people into one camp or another camp but to explain what the church teaches in its fullness.” Father Schultze sees the seminary playing an increasingly active role in the pastoral life of the archdiocese and as a voice in the wider culture. Examples include the seminary’s participation in the Walk for Life West Coast and support for the lives of immigrants. Future efforts may include faculty publishing in academic journals in order that their teaching reaches a wider public. Father Schultze also sees give-and-take with the tech and higher education communities in the Bay Area as part of the life of the seminary. “Along Middlefield Road, our neighbors are venture capitalists who are venturing tremendous sums of capital in the global economy,” Father Schultze said. “Would we not want to have our seminarians or our church in conversation with these? Would

they not want to be in conversation with a religion that has over a billion adherents? Of course, we need to have those conversations.” The incoming 2017-18 class includes seminarians from San Francisco, Oakland, Santa Rosa, Korea. Hawaii and Guam. Father Schultze said the new class will maintain St. Patrick’s enrollment at between 60 and 64 seminarians. Developing sustainable enrollment has been a crucial challenge underlined in reports by the accrediting WASC Senior College and University Commission. St. Patrick’s needs 80 seminarians to meet current costs, according to a March 2016 WASC report. “Would we like to have 80? Yes, but it’s going to take time,” Father Schultze said. Father Schultze has been in touch with Archbishop Jose Gomez in the Los Angeles archdiocese, where the archdiocesan St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo has grown enrollment from to 105 from 60 since Archbishop Gomez arrived. “We both want to grow,” Father Schultze said. “California is like a country. We should have two full seminaries. We’re not in competition at all.” Father Schultze said that based on the population of males of religious formation age in California, St.

Patrick’s should be able to add another 15 seminarians. The added enrollment would pay operating costs from tuition alone rather than drawing on endowment income. In a wider recruiting effort, Father Schultze is taking to the road to meet with bishops in Helena, Montana; Seattle; Portland and Baker, Oregon; and Salt Lake City. And, to strengthen ties between the seminary and the formation needs of the sending bishops, Archbishop Cordileone is planning to form an episcopal council that would meet before seminary board meetings, Father Schultze said. Father Schultze also stressed that “every Catholic” has to help in promoting vocations, with fewer grandmothers now at hand to play their historic role of transmitting the faith to young men. Age 11 and junior year in high school are the key moments to plant the seed, Father Schultze said. “All you need to do is mention, ‘Someday you might hear the call,’” he said. Father Schultze, who grew up in Santa Clara County, is finding the seminary a good fit at this point in his priestly career. “I have great hope,” he said. “I’m very happy. I sleep well at night. I have no anxiety. People have been very supportive, very encouraging.”

Sainthood: Pope approves new path of heroic act of loving service FROM PAGE 1

Vatican Congregation for Saints’ Causes, said the addition is meant “to promote heroic Christian testimony, (that has been) up to now without a specific process, precisely because it did not completely fit within the case of martyrdom or heroic virtues.” For centuries, consideration for the sainthood process required that a Servant of God heroically lived a life of Christian virtues or had been martyred for the faith. The third, less common way, is called an equivalent or equipollent canonization: when there is evidence of strong devotion among the faithful to a holy man or woman, the pope can waive a lengthy formal canonical investigation and can authorize their veneration as saints. While these three roads to sainthood remain unchanged, they were not adequate “for interpreting all possible cases” of holiness, the archbishop wrote in the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, July 11. According to the apostolic letter, any causes for beatification according to the new pathway of “offering of life” would have to meet the following criteria: – Free and willing offer of one’s life and a heroic acceptance, out of love, of a certain and early death;

the heroic act of charity and the premature death are connected. – Evidence of having lived out the Christian virtues – at least in an ordinary, and not necessarily heroic, way – before having offered one’s life to others and until one’s death. – Evidence of a reputation for holiness, at least after death. – A miracle attributed to the candidate’s intercession is needed for beatification. Archbishop Bartolucci wrote that the new norms arise from the sainthood congregation wanting to look into the question of whether men and women who, “inspired by Christ’s example, freely and willingly offered and sacrificed their life” for others “in a supreme act of charity, which was the direct cause of death,” were worthy of beatification. For example, throughout history there have been Christians who willingly put themselves at risk and died of infection or disease because of aiding and serving others, he wrote. Pope Francis approved the congregation carrying

More than 50 Scouts awarded honors in religious emblems program Catholic San Francisco

More than 50 Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Venture Scouts where young women and young men participate were awarded faith-related patches and emblems at ceremonies held May 20 at St. Stephen Church in San Francisco, with pastor Father Anthony La Torre presiding. The honorees, ages 6 to 17, represented 11 parishes in the archdiocese and 19 different Scout organizations including the Buddhist Church of San Francisco, whose Tara Mochizuki was awarded the interfaith Bronze Pelican. “Through the religious emblems programs, young Catholics are challenged to integrate the scouting values of duty to God, reverence and faithfulness into their everyday lives,” organizers said. “Father LaTorre gave great attention to each Scout and helped them feel their efforts were worthwhile and valued.” “Our diocesan youth are extremely fortunate to have parents, scoutmasters, scout leaders, priests and laypeople who are supporting their enriched Christian education,” organizers said. “The emblems allow this effort to be celebrated and encouraged,” said Cynthia and Jim Dragon, members of the archdiocesan Catholic Scouting Committee. The Ad Altare Medal was among the awards presented. It is for Boy Scouts ages 13-16 who complete “a three-month course of interactive study based on the seven sacraments, Scriptures and the Boy Scout oath and law,” organizers said. The boys also had related field activities includ-

Cordileone to the “Convocation of Catholic Leaders: The Joy of the Gospel in America” in Orlando, Florida, July 1-4.

Convocation delegates sent home to imitate Jesus in reaching the margins Dennis Sadowski Catholic News Service

ORLANDO, Fla. – Jesus took a few loaves and fishes and turned them into a feast for thousands, offering the church an example of faith in action, Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston said in sending 3,500 delegates home from the “Convocation of Catholic Leaders: The Joy of the Gospel in America.” In the face of adversity and naysayers in today’s world – not unlike the apostles who wondered how they would feed the masses – the church is called to take what they have, as Jesus did and reap the rewards of achieving great things in the face of the impossible, Cardinal DiNardo, who is president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in his homily during the convocation’s closing Mass July 4. Citing the Gospel reading from John (17:11, 17-23), the cardinal also urged

the delegates to reflect on how Jesus during the Last Supper reminded the Twelve Apostles that he will pray for all who believe he is the savior that they may be united in one family under God. The cardinal urged the delegates to engage in their ministry humbly and to realize that they are nourished in their work through the body and blood of Jesus at Mass. “We leave here (at the altar) nourished and refreshed and we go and do what we have to do,” he said. As the Mass ended, Archbishop Christophe Pierre, apostolic nuncio to the U.S., congratulated convocation participants for a lively and invigorating four days. Archbishop Pierre also said in his upcoming report to the pope that he would explain that “the Spirit is alive in the church in the United States.” see Convocation, page 10

Amid polarization, nation urged to reclaim civility through dialogue

WASHINGTON – Political polarization in America has recently peaked, according to surveys conducted by Pew Research Center and Gallup, among others. In a time where such polarization threatens civility in public discourse, Catholic leaders in interviews with Catholic News Service called for respect and trust in dialogue and awareness of the opinions of those with whom one disagrees. “There’s been a coarsening of the culture,” Gerard Powers, director of Catholic Peacebuilding Studies at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame, told CNS in a phone interview. “Civility requires a commitment to common social mores and social norms that undergird the culture. It’s not something you can legislate.” Powers, who also is coordinator of the Catholic Peacebuilding Network based at the university, explained the importance of listening to opinions that may contradict one’s own. “In most cases, violent conflicts end through negotiation and dialogue,” Powers told CNS. “That’s why the Catholic Church has always placed such a high premium on faith and dialogue.”

14-member San Francisco delegation

Members of the Archdiocese of San Francisco’s 14-person delegation were chosen because of their leadership roles in outreach and ministry, vicar for administration Jesuit Father John Piderit told Catholic San Francisco. In preparation for the convocation, delegates reviewed and discussed Pope Francis’ 2013 apostolic exhortation “Evangelii Gaudium” (“The Joy of the Gospel”), which lays out a vision of the church dedicated to “radical, missionary evangelization.” The convocation was intended to help Catholic leaders set a new course for the church. But according to Father Piderit, the archdiocese won’t be setting off in any new directions as a result of the convocation. “For us it was a little bit different in that we went in with a strategic plan and components of a pastoral plan already completed,” he said. “We went into it knowing that this would probably influence some of the things we are doing but probably not the major initiatives we are undertaking in the next few years.” Father Piderit said one possibility for change is that the chancery itself will serve a more “evangelical” function.

Nigerian calls West’s imposition of abortion ‘cultural supremacy’

MANCHESTER, England – Western governments are “spitting in the face” of African democracy by trying to impose legal abortion against the wishes of most of the people in such countries, said a Nigerian-born prolife campaigner. Uju Ekeocha, the founder of Culture of Life Africa, a U.K.-based pro-life group, said wealthy nations pumping money into the promotion and funding of abortions in Africa were behaving like “old colonial masters.” “None of these countries has asked for this ‘aid’ money,” she told CNS in a July 10 telephone interview. “In all my work with African countries, I don’t know of any which is screaming, ‘Come and help us, we have this abortion crisis,’” said Ekeo-

cha, a Catholic who has dual citizenship in Britain and Nigeria. “But a lot of Western countries, in this spirit of cultural supremacy, are still trying to impose abortion in this way.” Her views were echoed by Dr. Anthony Cole, chairman of the Medical Ethics Alliance, an umbrella group for British medical organizations that uphold Hippocratic medicine. “The real need of women and their babies is for safer obstetrics, especially in developing countries,” said Cole, a Catholic, in a July email to CNS.

Pope appoints ‘bicycle bishop’ to head Archdiocese of Milan

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has named Italian Auxiliary Bishop Mario Delpini of Milan as the new head of the Archdiocese of Milan, Italy’s largest diocese. He replaces Cardinal Angelo Scola,

who is retiring at the age of 75 after leading the church in Milan since 2011. The cardinal served as patriarch of Venice from 2002 to 2011. Bishop Delpini, who had been serving as vicar general of the archdiocese, is known as a hardworking, humble, but strong pastor who travels around the city on a bicycle and lives in a small apartment in a residence for priests. He is the author of a book of etiquette for priests aimed at helping “free them from the dead weight of a kind of clericalism, from the ‘reverend complex,’ and from a bit of clumsy managerial hyper-efficiency,” according to the book’s description. Written in Italian in 1998, it is titled: “Reverend, Where’s Your Manners! Tiny Pastoral (book of) Etiquette. Loving and LaidBack Notes for Priests Journeying Toward the Third Millennium.”

Vatican asks bishops to ensure validity of matter for Eucharist

VATICAN CITY – Bishops should look at ways to help verify and guarantee the validity and worthiness of the bread and wine used for the celebration of the Eucharist, the Vatican said in a July 8 recent document. Because bread and wine for the Eucharist are no longer supplied just by religious communities, but “are also sold in supermarkets and other stores and even over the internet,” bishops should set up guidelines, an oversight body and/or even a form of certification to help “remove any doubt about the validity of the matter for the Eucharist,” the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments said.

12 ARCHbishop John R. Quinn

Catholic san francisco | July 13, 2017

Archbishop John R. Quinn remembered for his love of Christ, prayer, the priesthood and the church Catholic San Francisco

Three cardinals and 24 bishops and archbishops joined hundreds of clergy, religious and faithful at St. Mary’s Cathedral on July 10 in a solemn, hymnfilled farewell to retired San Francisco Archbishop John Raphael Quinn, who was remembered as a man whose life and ministry were founded on prayer and whose final illness fulfilled a grateful journey toward unification with the risen Christ. Archbishop Quinn, who served from 1977-95 as sixth archbishop of San Francisco, died at age 88 on June 22 at the Jewish Home of San Francisco, where he had moved only the previous week following a long hospitalization. He fell ill last November during a trip to Rome for the consistory that elevated 17 to the rank of cardinal, including Archbishop Quinn’s friend Cardinal Blase Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, who performed the rite of final commendation at the funeral Mass. “The archbishop’s spirit grew even stronger during his illness,” Santa Fe, New Mexico, Archbishop John Wester said in the funeral homily, explaining that Archbishop Quinn chose a “quite somber” passage from Ecclesiastes for the first reading. “’Vanity of vanities … All things are vanity,’” Archbishop Wester said. “But that is all changed now in Christ’s resurrection. That is what the archbishop wishes to communicate through Ecclesiastes. The joy of the disciple does not come from being inured (wouldn’t he like that word!) to the sorrows and frustrations of life, but by trusting in the power of God to lead us through them.” Archbishop Quinn’s priestly career was a “steady, inexorable growth toward Christ,” Archbishop Wester said, noting that the path of discipleship is inscribed on Archbishop Quinn’s chalice in an image of the Twelve converging toward Christ. That chalice, first used by Archbishop Quinn the day after his ordination in July 1953, was used by Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone in celebrating the funeral Mass. “John loved to bring out that you and I are invited to dwell with Christ in the heart of his Father through the Holy Spirit,” Archbishop Wester said. “John’s Gospel begins with Christ inviting the disciples to ‘abide WITH Him’ and ends with them abiding ‘IN Him.’ This is a path of intimacy.” Discipleship, resurrection and the meaning of Eucharist were the themes of San Diego Bishop Robert W. McElroy’s homily at a vigil for Archbishop Quinn on July 9 at the cathedral. Bishop McElroy reflected on the passage in John’s Gospel where the disciples are back to work fishing following Jesus’ death and the newly risen Christ calls to them from the shore, helps fill their nets and makes them a breakfast of bread and fish. “In a very real way, these three themes of Johannine encounter by the seashore – the continuing call to discipleship and priesthood, the experience of continuity and transformation, and unceasing gratitude to God – formed the life of John Raphael Quinn at its core and are the surest comfort and consolation for us in his hour of death,” Bishop McElroy said. “Priesthood, and the call to priesthood, lay at the very center of John’s earthly mission,” Bishop McElroy said. “Every day he was profoundly grateful for the grace of his priesthood. And as seminary professor,

At the vigil for Archbishop Quinn on July 9 at St. Mary’s Cathedral, the archbishop’s close friend Wade Hughan returns the archbishop’s pallium to him for the last time. Archbishop Quinn had great faith that his episcopal ministry was protected and guided by Our Lady of Guadalupe. At the conclusion of his final Mass before retirement, he placed his pallium – a woolen vestment conferred on archbishops by the pope – at the feet of the cathedral’s Guadalupe shrine. Top right, the pallium is pictured resting on a pillow. Bottom right, mourners pray over the archbishop’s coffin. rector, bishop and spiritual director, Archbishop Quinn echoed the voice of the risen Jesus calling to the disciples from the shore.” In the final commendation rite, Cardinal Cupich blessed the archbishop’s coffin before it was removed from the cathedral and taken to the mausoleum at Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma for interment in the bishops’ crypt. “The greatest gift given to Archbishop John Raphael Quinn was that he was loved by Jesus and knew it,” Cardinal Cupich said. This intimacy gave him the courage and confidence to live life to the fullest, he said.

Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. In opening remarks, Archbishop Cordileone acknowledged Archbishop Quinn’s family from Southern California, his nephews and their wives and his great-nephew. He also greeted the large contingent of local officials and dignitaries present, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott and San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White, and thanked the archbishop’s lifelong friend Wade Hughan. The first Mass reading was delivered by Archbishop Quinn’s godson, John P. Raphael Hughan.

Cardinal Cupich said Archbishop Quinn “never failed to say thanks for the slightest courtesy and act of kindness.” He noted that the Holy Father’s personal prayers of support “were a medicine for his soul” during his illness. Archbishop Quinn requested no eulogy or remembrance, his nephew, Bill Bash, told the congregation. He paraphrased his uncle as saying, “I am aware that many would wish to say words. I ask this be dispensed with that no one be hurt by any senseless omissions.” Bash said no caregiver left Archbishop Quinn’s bedside without being thanked. He said the family is grateful to his many friends and to the city of San Francisco – “a place that gave him much joy.” The assembly at the funeral Mass included 24 bishops and archbishops and three cardinals: Cardinal Cupich; Cardinal Roger Mahony, retired Los Angeles archbishop; and Cardinal William J. Levada, retired San Francisco archbishop and former Prefect of the

Archbishop Cordileone also thanked members of the San Francisco interfaith community in attendance, including San Francisco Interfaith Council executive director Michael Pappas and co-founder Rita Semel. “Interfaith dialogue was a hallmark of Archbishop Quinn and your presence today is a testament to that,” the archbishop said. Nearly 100 sisters and nuns from religious communities in the Bay Area and beyond attended, including one whose memory of him stretched back to their childhood in Riverside. Dominican Sister of San Jose Sister Rosaleen Stoiber grew up on the same street as Archbishop Quinn. “He was a beautiful piano player,” she said. “One summer he came home from the seminary and gathered up all of the teenagers in the neighborhood and directed us in a musical production of ‘Oklahoma,’” she said. “He always gave such a beautiful example of a young person with a great love for his vocation,” Sister Rosaleen

said. She said she in part owes her own vocation to Archbishop Quinn. “I have great memories of him,” said Presentation Sister Ann Conlon. “I was living with the Union Sisters in San Bruno. He’d come for confirmation, play the piano, just be himself and be at home. The biggest thing is his tremendous support for the religious sisters. He was always a tremendous supporter of the women. He knew that we were living the Gospel. He knew us.” Interfaith council co-founder Semel told Catholic San Francisco she developed profound respect for Archbishop Quinn whom she met when he made an appeal to the Catholic Charities board on which she served at the height of the AIDS epidemic. He was a shy man, she said, who learned to use his voice to do “good.” “He told the board, ‘I don’t necessarily approve of the lifestyle, but people are suffering and we must do something,’” she said. Soon after, an office of AIDS ministry was established at the archdiocese and Catholic Charities began serving the housing and health needs of AIDS/HIV patients. “He was one of the finest people I have ever known,” she said. “He was a great friend and I will miss him.” Jesuit Father George Schultze, St. Patrick’s Seminary & University president and rector, recalled Archbishop Quinn’s warmth and friendliness. “He always had a cheerful smile. He was always reaching out and saying hello to anyone who came across his path,” he said. House Minority Leader Pelosi called Archbishop Quinn “really a blessing to San Francisco.” She said “he cared about all of God’s creation” and confirmed her five children. “So many wonderful memories,” said Father John Ryan. “He was always so affirming. He always had good things to say to us priests, that’s my memory of him. I worked quite closely with him at times. A wonderful man.” St. Francis of Assisi pastor Father Lawrence Goode applauded the funeral service. “He was a perfectionist, and this thing was perfect … when I leave this Earth, I’m maybe going to use some of the hymns.”

Archbishop John R. Quinn: A ‘clear, powerful voice’ Catholic San Francisco

Throughout his nearly 19 years as sixth archbishop of San Francisco, John Raphael Quinn was a fierce social justice advocate who oversaw and at times was buffeted by tumultuous change in the global and local church. Archbishop Quinn, who died June 22 at age 88, “spoke out with a clear powerful voice on the central issues of the day,” Jeffrey Burns, historian and former archivist for the Archdiocese of San Francisco, wrote in an article for Catholic San Francisco in 2009 on the archbishop’s 80th birthday. “Truly he was the archbishop with the heart of a deacon.” The heart of his message was “concern for the poor and oppressed, concern about the misuse of power, and concern for the dignity of each person made in the image and likeness of God,” Burns writes in “San Francisco: A History of the Archdiocese of San Francisco.” Just over a year after his installation, the city was devastated by the successive tragedies of the massacre at Jonestown, Guyana, and the assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. “As the sun sets over San Francisco tonight, it is a different city,” Archbishop Quinn said during the mayor’s funeral service, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. Archbishop Quinn’s tenure included the onset of the AIDS crisis in the early-1980s, Pope St. John Paul II’s visit in 1987, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and the rise of the sanctuary movement for undocumented immigrants. On the feast of St. Francis, Oct. 4, 1981, Archbishop Quinn “made a powerful denunciation of the arms race” in a sermon at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Burns writes. “Though Quinn delivered the sermon with some trepidation, the reaction of the crowd shocked him – they rose to their feet and gave him a roaring standing ovation,” Burns writes. He helped implement the 1981 creation of the Diocese of San Jose and in 1993 commissioned a controversial pastoral plan that recommended closing several Archdiocese of San Francisco parishes. Archbishop Quinn published pastoral letters including “On Central America” in 1983, criticizing U.S. military involvement in Central America, and “The AIDS Crisis: A Pastoral Response” in 1986.

Pastoral care in the AIDS crisis

Archbishop Quinn initiated the Catholic Church’s first official response to the AIDS crisis in 1985, with outreach and services by Catholic Charities and support for Most Holy Redeemer Parish’s work with AIDS sufferers. Archbishop Quinn welcomed the Missionaries of Charity who established their Gift of Love AIDS hospice, a continuing legacy in the archdiocese. “I always think it’s one of the great secrets of San Francisco County that Archbishop Quinn and Catholic Charities reached out very early in the epidemic to serve people who had HIV and AIDS,” George Simmons, former senior program director at Catholic Charities As-

Archbishop Quinn was an outspoken critic of US policy toward Central America and refugees. In his 1983 pastoral letter “On Central America” he called for an end to US military intervention and assistance. sisted Housing and Health, said in a recent interview with Catholic News Agency. “I think it was a part of the faith of the Catholic community to say – I hate to use this cliche – but, ‘what would Jesus do?’” The church must “walk by faith, not by sight,” Archbishop Quinn said in his installation homily on April 26, 1977. “And she is not a pilgrim church if her only goals are in this world. As Scripture says, ‘We are the most pitiable of all creatures if our hope in Christ Jesus is restricted to this world.’” Archbishop Quinn displayed the heart of a pastor after little more than a year in office, historian Burns writes. On Nov. 18, 1978, the city was rocked first by the Jim Jones’ People’s Temple massacre in Guyana. Most of the 909 victims, a third of them children, had recently moved from the Bay Area where the cult leader’s temple was located in the city’s Fillmore District. A week later, on Nov. 27, 1978, former city Supervisor Dan White assassinated Mayor George Moscone and its first openly gay supervisor, Harvey Milk. A shocked city grieved and demonstrators took to the streets. Archbishop Quinn gave the benediction at City Hall the day before a memorial Mass that evening at St. Mary’s Cathedral. He visited Moscone’s wife and his mother, as well as Dan White in jail and White’s wife, Burns recounts. “We … must renew in this sacred place our firm resolve to spare no effort to return our city to its cherished civic peace, a true and noble justice with reverence for life and mutual respect for all,” the archbishop said in his homily.

Sanctuary movement

Archbishop Quinn was an outspoken critic of U.S. policy toward Central America and refugees. In his 1983 pastoral letter “On Central America” he called for an end to U.S. military intervention and assistance in Central America. In 1985, Archbishop Quinn endorsed the sanctuary movement to welcome undocumented immigrants and at least two parishes, St. Teresa of Avila in San Francisco and St. Bruno in San Bruno, became sanctuary parishes. In 1994 he opposed California’s Proposition 187, which sought to keep undocumented immigrants and their children from receiving California social services, saying, “Efforts to make life more difficult and unbearable for immigrants and refugees is morally wrong and an offense against human rights and the dignity of the human person.” He was present as president of the U.S. bishops’ conference during the Palm Sunday, 1980, funeral of assassinated El Salvador Archbishop Oscar Romero as gunshots and explosions panicked the crowd outside the San Salvador cathedral. “I was carried by the force of the crowd … and feared … I would be crushed by the crowds,” Burns quotes Archbishop Quinn. The archbishop made it inside the cathedral as shots continued and bombs exploded. Archbishop Quinn was an early leader in combating clerical sexual abuse. The Archdiocese of San Francisco put into force in 1992 a sexual abuse and harassment policy, and at that time urged all victims of child sexual abuse by a priest or church worker to “come forward and tell us their story.”

In 1993, he commissioned a pastoral plan in response to San Francisco’s drop in church attendance and because of the city’s 1992 unreinforced masonry ordinance requiring seismic retrofits estimated to cost more than $70 million for all church buildings. Following its recommendations, Archbishop Quinn closed several local churches, which sparked acrimony that continued into the tenure of his successor archbishop, Cardinal William J. Levada. Archbishop Quinn stepped down in 1995 at age 66, having asked St. John Paul II if the pope could appoint a coadjutor bishop so that he could retire early; the mandatory age at which a bishop is required by canon law to submit his resignation is 75. “I have served as a bishop for almost 30 years,” he said at the time. “In these turbulent times no corporate CEO or university president remains under the pressure of office anywhere near that time.”

Keen interest in Christian unity

A theology professor and seminary rector before he became a bishop, Archbishop Quinn maintained a keen interest in theological and ecclesial matters and pursued this in greater earnest after his retirement. He took to heart St. John Paul’s call in “Ut Unum Sint,” his 1995 encyclical on ecumenism, that Christian church leaders and their theologians to help him find a way of exercising papal primacy that would better foster Christian unity. Archbishop Quinn gave a lecture the following year at Oxford University in which he called for major Roman Curia reforms, new ways of selecting bishops and a new ecumenical council. The outgrowth of the Oxford lecture was a 1999 book, “The Reform of the Papacy: The Costly Call to Christian Unity.” The book won first place for best popular presentation of the Catholic faith in the Catholic Press Association’s 2000 book awards, but was reportedly received coolly at the Vatican. Calling the Curia’s structure “a serious impediment” to Christian unity, “I firmly believe that if the politics and processes of the Curia do not change,” Christian unity will remain elusive, Archbishop Quinn said after the book’s publication. He similarly called for a called for a re-examination of the role of the College of Cardinals, which he said presented a stumbling block to Christian unity. He made the comments in an interview with an Italian magazine that year. He added that future ecumenical councils of the world’s bishops should include other Christian leaders, especially Orthodox, as full members. Archbishop Quinn’s second book, “Ever Ancient, Ever New: Structures of the Communion in the Church,” was published in 2012. “There is room for diversity, even on matters of major importance, within the framework of unity,” Archbishop Quinn wrote. In a March 11, 2013, article in National Catholic Reporter, titled “Governance in the Legacy of Vatican Council II,” Archbishop Quinn advocated for a greater role for see archbishop quinn, page 18

History and humility: An old man’s plea to young adults

he old man with the typewriter would like a word with us texters and tweeters: Don’t be a blockhead. David McCullough’s bestselling new book, “The American Spirit,” takes up a cause he has long championed, lends it added urgency and aims it squarely at young adults. “We are raising a generation of young Americans who are by and large historically illiterate,” McCullough writes. At 83, the Pulitzer Prize winning historian has ample evidence. His preferred mode Christina is to be holed up in his writCapecchi ing studio, a tiny shed in the backyard of his Martha’s Vineyard home with no running water or working phone. To keep from startling him, visitors whistle as they approach. But McCullough is even more shocked when he’s on the speaking circuit. A Missouri college student, for instance, once thanked him for coming to campus and said “until now, I never understood that the original 13 colonies were all on the East Coast.” Another student asked him: “Aside from Harry Truman and John Adams, how many other presidents have you interviewed?” The trouble, McCullough writes, is that we don’t know who we are or where we’re headed without a sense of where we came from. Peppered with the kind of anecdotes that make his biographies spring to life, this book – a collection of his speeches – is different. It is an unabashed love story, McCullough’s ode to history, “an antidote to the hubris of the present,” a pleasure that “consists in an expansion of the experience of being alive.” Here’s where I must admit that my summer reading has gotten a bit light, reduced to the bleary eyed boomerang of blogs and Instagram feeds. I was surprised how good it felt to hold this book and entertain its ideas. It illuminates the footbridge from knowledge to character, and it offers a clear takeaway for the Catholic Church. To learn our nation’s history is to be inspired by the likes of Abigail Adams, who penned 2,000 letters. “Great necessities call out great virtues,” she wrote to her 11-year-old son, a future president, setting sail across the Atlantic. “When a mind is raised and animated by scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant wake into life and form the character of the hero and the statesman.” McCullough dedicates the book to his 19 grandchildren and doles out plenty of wholesome advice. Read widely. Be generous. Take an interest in people. He also borrows Abigail Adams’ admonition to her son and directs it at modern day history illiterates: “How unpardonable it would be for us – with so much that we have been given, the advantages we have, all the continuing opportunities we have to enhance and increase our love of learning – to turn out blockheads.” We must never take for granted the work of those who went before us, McCullough writes. “To be indifferent to that isn’t just to be ignorant, it’s to be rude.” Then he throws his sharpest barb – cushioned, as it is, by a Mr. Rodgers cardigan: “And ingratitude is a shabby failing.” When it comes to our religion, the oldest Christian faith, so many of us young Catholics risk drifting down the path from ignorance to ingratitude. McCullough’s caution applies: “We have to value what our forebears – and not just in the 18th century, but our own parents and grandparents – did for us, or we’re not going to take it very seriously, and it can slip away.” I love my faith and my family, which intersect in deep, fascinating ways. To learn more of Catholicism’s rich history – our saints and our sacraments, our symbols and our songs – brings a wellspring of appreciation. It is to discover, in the words of McCullough, an “inexhaustible source of strength.” Christina Capecchi is a freelance writer from Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota.

Inchoate desire

ometimes while praying the Psalms, I’m caught looking quite uncomfortably into a mirror reflecting back to me my own seeming dishonesty. For example, we pray these words in the Psalms: My soul longs for you in the night. … Like a deer that yearns for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you my God. … For you alone do I long! For you alone do I thirst! If I’m honest, I have to admit that a lot of times, perhaps most times, my FATHER ron soul longs for a lot of things rolheiser that do not seem of God. How often can I honestly pray: For you, God, alone do I long. For you alone do I thirst! In my restlessness, my earthy desires, and natural instincts, I long for many things that don’t appear very Godfocused or heavenly at all. I suspect that’s true for most of us for good parts of our lives. Rare is the mystic who can say those prayers and mean them with her full heart on any given day. But human desire is a complex thing. There’s a surface and there’s a depth, and in every one of our longings and motivations we can ask ourselves this: What am I really looking for here? I

know what I want on the surface, here and now, but what am I ultimately longing for in this? This discrepancy, between what we’re aware of on the surface and what’s sensed only in some dark, inchoate way at a deeper level, is what’s captured in a distinction philosophers make between what’s explicit in our awareness and what’s implicit within it. The explicit refers to what we are aware of consciously (“I want this particular thing!’); whereas the implicit refers to the unconscious factors that are also in play but of which we are unaware. These we only sense, vaguely, in some unconscious part of our soul. For instance, Karl Rahner, who was fond of this distinction and who puts it to good use in his spirituality, offers us this (crass though clear) example of the distinction between the explicit and the implicit within our motivation and desires. Imagine this, he says: A man, lonely and restless and depressed on a Saturday night, goes to a singles’ bar, picks up a prostitute and goes to bed with her. On the surface his motivation and desire are as undisguised as they are crass. He’s not longing for God in his bed on this particular night. Or is he? On the surface, of course he’s not, his desire seems purely self-centered and the antithesis of holy longing. But, parsed out to its deepest root, his desire is ultimately a longing for divine intimacy, see rolheiser, page 19

Letters James Phelan’s complex history

Re “USF renames residence hall for football hero Burl A. Toler,” May 25: I don’t have a dog in this fight, one might say. My only relationship to the University of San Francisco is that I graduated from another college in the Bay Area. So what could be my point? I think Father Fitzgerald made a great point that most of our culture would do well to replicate today – that James Phelan’s complex history does deserve some recognition in some way, if not in the naming of a residence hall, then in some other way that helps us understand the historical imperatives of past ages. Why throw out the baby with the bath water? By vilifying him wholesale would imply that all critical decisions be made only as a response to the “bad” that has occurred and never the good that many have done and still do, imperfect creatures that they are. Two things stand out: First, Phelan was a Democrat who was an anti-immigrant advocate specifically against the Japanese who were seeking arable land and opportunity that they would never get in Japan; and, second, history teaches us that things change – what was considered appropriate political strategy over 100 years ago may not be so now, though still used. And remember that later in Phelan’s political career, this anti-immigration rhetoric went against him. Perhaps many people realized that he was painting all immigrants with the “Yellow Peril” label and that the ones they had met, including the Japanese, were merely seeking what all who came to these shores wanted for themselves, their families, and their legacy. This direction, if Father Fitzgerald has God’s way and the students actually find the mercy to respond to it, is a simple, but consistent, example of the truth of American distinctiveness. Remember that Phelan, too, was the child of an immigrant who probably faced the humiliating signs in windows that spelled N.I.N.A. (No Irish Need Apply). Michael Burke San Marcos

Respect for the gift of faith

I know George Weigel is popular in some circles. I find him arrogant and excessively pleased with himself. His latest column is a perfect example (“Way beyond the new atheist nonsense,” June 22). He is trying to defend the church but in the process makes himself foolish. He writes like such a “smarty pants” about those ignorant atheists

who don’t have sense enough to realize “the Bible teaches us that God impressed his intelligibility onto the world through creation by the word.” And Lord knows when that happens, faith crumbles and you just fall into an intellectual playpen. Based on his columns, I think Mr. Weigel spends a lot of time in his own intellectual playpen. He acts like everything is just so self-evident, and of course only a fool would question what is real truth. Does he have no respect for the gift of faith? Charles Leyes San Francisco

Trump wrong on climate pact

John McCord’s letter of June 22 was only partially correct, and in some cases used measures irrelevant to the Paris climate agreement going into effect. Mr. McCord justifies Trump’s withdrawal based on some posed fiscal disaster. The accord requirement and success were judged rightly on scientific facts and the need to avoid a much greater environmental disaster. One-hundred-ninety-seven countries signed the accord, including Russia, China and India (they used declarations, but agreed to the accord, contrary to Mr. McCord’s claim). Only two countries did not sign: Nicaragua, which wanted stricter measures, and Syria, now joined by the U.S. under science denier Trump. Even Pakistan and the rogue state of North Korea signed and ratified. One-hundred-fiftyone countries have now ratified, and closer examination of the list of those who have not yet ratified is vital but missing in McCord’s details. The list includes numerous countries either under dictatorships, amid civil wars, or totally unstable. None of the official documents even mentions pledged funds. It’s based on number of countries and percentage of global emissions affected by pledges. Apples and apples. Pledged funds might be a handy way to support Trump’s withdrawal (based more on his hatred for Obama than any scientific or fact-based reality). But the historic accord was judged worldwide an historic success, far exceeding the required numbers to go into force. Like many of Mr. Trump’s actions, when you look at the facts, not the alternative kind, the arguments just don’t hold up. Trump’s actions are isolating the U.S. and reducing the world view of the position of leadership we always strived for. Peter Mandell San Francisco

Sunday readings

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time ISAIAH 55:10-11 Thus says the Lord: Just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; my word shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it. PSALM 65:10, 11, 12-13, 14 The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest. You have visited the land and watered it; greatly have you enriched it. God’s watercourses are filled; you have prepared the grain. The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest. Thus have you prepared the land: drenching its furrows, breaking up its clods, softening it with showers, blessing its yield. The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest. You have crowned the year with your bounty, and your paths overflow with a rich harvest; The untilled meadows overflow with it, and rejoicing clothes the hills. The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest. The fields are garmented with flocks and the valleys blanketed with grain. They shout and sing for joy. The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest.

ome years ago it was reported in The New York Times that some Wall Street executives attended Bible study groups: “The meeting... begins with a prayer: ‘Lord, help us apply the truths in your words to our business lives.’ … A passage from Scripture is then read and prayerfully discussed.” Speaking about the importance of these meetings, one executive said, “If I couldn’t come here, I don’t know what I would do!” There is a deep hunger for spirituality everywhere. St. Mother Teresa said: “The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty – it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.” father charles One may be most successful puthota in one’s area of work, one might have everything one desires, but there is still a void deep within that nothing in this world can fill. More people are taking notice of the inner cry for faith and truth. Some companies host “Higher Power Lunches” instead of the usual “power lunches”

scripture reflection

ROMANS 8:18-23 Brothers and sisters: I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us. For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God; for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God. We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now; and not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. MATTHEW 13:1-23 On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. Whoever has ears ought to hear.” The disciples approached him and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” He said to them in reply,

“Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted. To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand. Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says: You shall indeed hear but not understand, you shall indeed look but never see. Gross is the heart of this people, they will hardly hear with their ears, they have closed their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their hearts and be converted, and I heal them. “But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. “Hear then the parable of the sower. The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the kingdom without understanding it, and the evil one comes and steals away what was sown in his heart. The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy. But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away. The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit. But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.”

The word of God to provide spiritual connections. Prayer, meditation, yoga, study groups and book clubs are promoted to help people find nourishment for the soul. All this is a good sign that we are able to see that God continues to speak in the world of today. In his influential book “Hearers of the Word,” German Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner affirms that human beings are by their very nature oriented toward God’s self-revelation. He was convinced that we cannot escape the question that there is something about us that makes it not only possible but also necessary to ask about God and to hear God’s word in history. In other words, there is in us an intrinsic pull toward God and a propensity to hear God’s word. St. Augustine’s words that our hearts are made for God and they are restless until they rest in God drive home the same truth. God draws us to himself, reveals himself, and shares his love. His words are life-giving if we choose to open our hearts and minds to him. He keeps sowing his seeds in our lives so they can grow to become plants and yield flowers and fruits. The word of God this Sunday is about the word of God. Jesus speaks of the seed, “the word of the kingdom,” being sown in our lives. Depending on how we receive it, it can bear fruit or not. If we receive it without understanding it, the word finds no welcoming place in our lives. If our hearts are stony, God’s word cannot take root. If we are assailed by undue

anxieties and attachments, God’s word may be choked. But if we are the fertile soil, able to hear the word and understand it, the seed will take deep root and bear abundant fruit. The seed and the soil together can bring about astonishing harvests. God’s word and our hearts can together generate results unimaginable for personal fulfillment and the good of humanity. The inevitability of this abundant harvest is affirmed by Isaiah in the first reading. God’s word is like the rain and snow from the heavens that “do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful …” The versatility of God’s word is evident when the seed fell on such saints as Paul, Augustine, Francis of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, Therese of Lisieux, Patrick, Maximilian Kolbe and Mother Teresa. God’s word brought about the will of God in these and countless other saints. Ultimately and supremely, God’s word is Jesus himself, the word who became flesh. Listening to this word of God is the only way to the Father. Through our sadness and sinfulness, Jesus speaks God’s unconditional and absolute love. Letting this word take root in our lives is peace, joy, and fulfillment for us now and for eternity.

18 ARCHbishop John R. Quinn

Catholic san francisco | July 13, 2017

Archbishop John R. Quinn: A ‘clear, powerful voice’ have been eight days longer.’ One sister said to me, ‘When Archbishop Quinn speaks, my heart grows.’ These are beautiful tributes to a holy man of God.” “I have been moved by his keen intellect, his deep spirituality, his wonderful sense of humor, his incredible memory and his skill at the piano,” Sister Rosina said.

bishops’ conferences in communion with Rome. “Modern episcopal conferences in the Latin church of the West could be given the same powers and functions of patriarchates,” he wrote. “This means that the conferences would be empowered to deal with such things as the appointment and transfer of bishops, the establishment of dioceses, questions of liturgy and other matters of Catholic practice and observance. “It goes without saying that any such provision is always within the framework of Catholic communion and unity,” he added. Speaking at Stanford University in 2013 as the world’s cardinals were gathering in the conclave that would conclude with the election of Pope Francis, Archbishop Quinn again called for limits on papal authority. In a paper titled “Governance in the Legacy of Vatican II,” he criticized liturgical changes resulting in the new Roman Missal translation and argued, “I would say that a very large number of bishops are of the opinion that there is not any real or meaningful collegiality in the church today.” In a July 21, 2013, interview with Vatican Insider, Archbishop Quinn mentioned meeting Pope Francis. “When I met him he told me that he had read my recent book on structures of communion and without commenting on the book itself he mentioned how ‘important’ the subject of collegiality and synodality are for the church today,” he said.

Priestly readiness for prayer

Archbishop Quinn began writing for the Jesuit magazine America in 1968, covering topics including church governance and the priesthood. In an April 13, 2010, address to the National Federation of Priests’ Councils, published in America on May 3, 2010, Archbishop Quinn repeated the question once asked by the Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner: “Why would a modern man want to remain a priest?” “This great theologian tackles the

The Dominican Sisters of San Rafael commemorated their 165th anniversary on Dec. 6, 2015, with a Mass at St. Raphael Church and a reception at the Dominican Sisters’ Center, the site of their motherhouse since 1889. Archbishop Quinn, one of the presiders, is pictured with Sister Maureen McInerney, prioress general, at the reception. question with stunning simplicity,” Archbishop Quinn said. “He begins be saying that for him, it is not the great works of the church in the service of justice and peace, the great universities and the great movements and programs. ‘Rather,’ he says, ‘I still see around me living in many of my brother priests a readiness for unselfish service carried out quietly, a readiness for prayer, for abandonment to the incomprehensibility of God, for the calm acceptance of death in whatever form it may come, for the total dedication to the following of Christ crucified.”’ Archbishop Quinn continued to publish and at the time of his death had completed a book on the First Vatican Council of 1870.

Close ties to women, men religious

Archbishop Quinn had a close working relationship with religious women and men. In 1983, St. John Paul II named him the Pontifical Delegate for Religious Life in the United

States, which included all religious men and women, with the charge to bring the bishops of the country and the religious into a closer relationship and to examine the causes for the decline in vocations. “Archbishop John R. Quinn has been a longtime friend of the religious in the archdiocese,” Presentation Sister Rosina Conrotto said in a message to Catholic San Francisco on Archbishop Quinn’s move to nursing care a few days before his death. He named women religious from the archdiocese of San Francisco to his commission “and drew on the collective wisdom of women religious throughout the United States for input on his report,” Sister Rosina said. “Throughout the entire process he was honest, respectful and grateful for the help he received.” Archbishop Quinn preached a memorable eight-day retreat three years ago at Vallombrosa Center, Sister Rosina said. “To this day I hear women religious say, ‘I wish it could

His projects in retirement included supporting the 40th anniversary commemoration of St. Mary’s Cathedral in 2011. In a column in the Sept. 24, 2010, Catholic San Francisco, he called the cathedral “a window on the infinite, lifting the human spirit to the Infinite and Eternal Beauty which is God.” He recalled a visit to the cathedral by Dorothy Day for a meeting called by the U.S. bishops on social issues. “Dorothy listened to vigorous criticism of the money spent on building St. Mary’s Cathedral,” Archbishop Quinn wrote. “When she finally spoke, she said, ‘I hope you bishops will not pay attention to this criticism. The cathedral in San Francisco is one of the few places where the poor can go and sit down and be with God in beauty.” In May 2016, Archbishop Quinn was the homilist at the funeral of his former secretary, Sharon Suhr. “Something they shared was love of music and he wove that into the eulogy,” her daughter, Ellen Conaway, told Catholic San Francisco. Conaway recalled how shortly after his appointment as archbishop, he walked down the hall into the office at the chancery where Mrs. Suhr worked and asked the mother of six, to her great surprise and that of others in the pastoral center offices, to be his administrative assistant. “He was very kind to my mother while they worked together,” Conaway recalled, saying that until her death, Mrs. Suhr had an 8-by-10 portrait of Archbishop Quinn prominently displayed in her home.

Rolheiser: Inchoate desire FROM PAGE 16

for the bread of life, for heaven. He’s longing for God at the very depth of his soul and at the very depth of his motivation, except he isn’t aware of this. Raw desire for immediate gratification is all that he’s consciously aware of at this time, but this doesn’t change his ultimate motivation, of which this is a symptom. At a deeper level, of which he is not consciously aware, he’s still longing for the bread of life, for God alone. His soul is still that of a deer, longing for clear flowing streams, except that on this given night another stream is promising him a more immediate tonic that he can have right now. Recently I taught a course on the spirituality of aging and dying. Stealing a line from Goethe’s poem, Holy Longing, I entitled the course poetically: Insane for the Light. In a term paper, one of the students, a woman, reflecting on her own journey toward aging and dying, wrote these words: “And then last night I began to think that dying is making love with God, the consummation after a lifetime of flirtations, encounters, meetings in the dark, and constant yearning, longing, and sense of loneliness that does make one insane for

the light. I reflected on the Song of Songs and thought that it could be an analogy of how I see dying, not necessarily as the body’s disintegration and demise, but rather as the entire transition that I was born destined to make. I think of my life as a love story with its ups and downs like any love story, but always going in the direction of God with the finality of death being the wedding of the love between God and myself after a lifetime betrothal.” She puts it as well as Rahner and the philosophers, though her words are more direct. She too, in analyzing her desire, points out there are levels, explicit and implicit, conscious and unconscious. Yes, our lives, with all their tensions, restlessness, youthful immaturities, adult depressions, cold lonely seasons, times of doubt, times of desperation, breakdowns and occasional irresponsible exuberance will surely be marked by flirtations and encounters that seem to exhibit desires that are not for the bread of life. But, they are, ultimately, and one day they will find and know their full consummation. Oblate Father Ron Rolheiser is president of the Oblate School of Theology, San Antonio, Texas.
