Bishops’ president: Violence calls for ‘moment of national reflection’ Catholic News Service

WASHINGTON – The shooting of police officers July 7 near the end of a demonstration in Dallas to protest fatal shootings by police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota earlier in the week “calls us to a moment of national reflection,” said the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

“To all people of goodwill, let us beg for the strength to resist the hatred that blinds us to our common humanity,” said Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, Kentucky, in a July 8 statement.

The archbishop described the sniper attack on the Dallas police officers “an act of unjustifiable evil.”

He said the “police are not a faceless enemy” but people offering their lives to protect others. He also noted “the suspects in crimes or routine traffic stops are not just a faceless threat” but members of families in “need of assistance, protection and fairness.”

“When compassion does not drive our response to the suffering of either, we have failed one another,” Archbishop Kurtz said.

Former WWII Marine gunner retires as rural deacon at 89 Valerie Schmalz

‘He just lovingly knew everything about La Honda, its people – total outreach to the people, to all of the people,’ not just the Catholics.

Catholic San Francisco

It was not until a few months shy of his 90th birthday that ill health finally forced Deacon John McGhee, World War II veteran and widowed father of seven children, to step down last August after 20 years as deacon at Our Lady of Refuge Mission church in La Honda, south of Half Moon Bay. As a rural deacon in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is dominated by a much more urban lifestyle, he was a rare treasure, the director of diaconate ministry for the Archdiocese of San Francisco says.

“As a rural community, they are cut off. He supplied so many of their needs,” said Deacon Mike Ghiorso, director of Permanent Diaconal Ministry and Life.

In the three counties of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, Our Lady of the Pillar parish is the largest parish geographically and one of the most remote. Our Lady of Refuge is 19 miles south and east of the coastal church – a windblown often foggy and chilly outpost along the Northern California coast.

Holy Child Sister Joanna Okereke visited Star of the Sea School in San Francisco in June as part of a pastoral visit on behalf of the U.S. bishops’ maritime ministry. Pictured with her are students Michael and Marina Belfiore, greatgrandchildren of an Italian immigrant fisherman who made his living for many years fishing out of San Francisco.

Ministry to seafarers seeks volunteers Catholic San Francisco

The national Catholic ministry for people who work on the sea needs volunteers to serve in the Archdiocese of San Francisco – an ideal opportunity to step up to Pope Francis’ Year of Mercy call to bring Christ to people on the margins.

That’s the message of Sister Joanna Okereke, HHCJ, from the U.S. bishops’ conference, who made stops in the archdiocese last month on a tour of maritime ministry services in West Coast port cities.

Sister Joanna is assistant director of the U.S. bishops’ Secretariat for Cultural Diversity in the Church, Subcommittee on Pastoral Care of Migrants, Refugees and Travelers. She is the bishops’ point person for the Apostleship of the Sea, the professional association of Catholic seafarers and maritime ministers, which provides chaplains at 53 ports in 26 states for mariners, fishermen and their families, and all who work or travel on the world’s waterways.

Marine ministry on San Francisco Bay is based at the International Maritime Center at Port of Oakland, which is served by a priest and volunteers from the Diocese of Oakland. Catholic services include Masses, one-to-one ministry for containership crews far from home and family and transportation to and from marine terminals for shopping and other necessities.

“They want Mass,” Sister Joanna said. “We get many young ones.”

Sister Joanna said financial and volunteer support for the Oakland center is needed and welcome from the Archdiocese of San Francisco, where the Apostleship of the Sea on a Rincon Hill now studded with high-rise housing closed in 1995 after 63 years as a mariners’ home away from home.

center (and) to show hospitality to a stranger by coming in to volunteer,” Sister Joanna said.

Full- or part-time volunteers are needed and assistance will be provided to obtain the necessary security clearance to board ships.

Sister Joanna said half of the world’s maritime crews are Catholic, and the Catholic Church is the largest provider of ministry services.

Pietro Parravano, a salmon and crab fisherman in Half Moon Bay and San Mateo County Harbor District Commissioner, said maritime ministry is in keeping with Pope Francis’ focus on refugees and others on the margins. “We’re a common home,” he said.

The annual National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for Mariners and People of the Sea was celebrated May 23. The day is observed in conjunction with National Maritime Day in the United States, which has been celebrated since 1933, to recognize merchant mariners and others in the maritime industry.

“In this Jubilee Year of Mercy declared by Pope Francis, may we bring the opportunity of encountering the mercy of God to our brothers and sisters who are seafarers, fishermen, and those whose occupations require them to spend most of the year away from their families, in the high seas, and sometimes facing dangerous situations,” Bishop J. Kevin Boland, retired bishop of Savannah, Georgia, and Apostleship of the Sea promoter, said in a U.S. bishops’ news release. “They too are our brothers and sisters with spiritual needs, may we accompany them in their joys and trials in life, so they may also grow in faith and understanding of God’s love.”

Undocumented immigrants remain in limbo after Supreme Court deadlocks Catholic News Service

Archdiocese of San Francisco Catholic Charities teamed up with community organizers to inform undocumented immigrants and their families and friends about what the U.S. Supreme Court tie vote on immigration means to them.

Two meetings were held at St. Peter Church in San Francisco and at St. Anthony of Padua in Menlo Park shortly after the June 23 tie vote by the Supreme Court that blocked the Obama administration’s plan to temporarily protect more than 4 million unauthorized immigrants from deportation.

The court’s 4-4 vote leaves in place a lower court injunction blocking the administration’s immigration policy with the one-page opinion stating: “The judgment is affirmed by an equally divided court.”

Catholic News Service reported that legal experts have called it an ambiguous and confusing political and legal decision that leaves many in a state of limbo. It also puts a lot of attention on the vacant Supreme Court seat that may determine how the case is decided in an appeal.

California Catholic Conference president Bishop Jaime Soto of Sacramento said the tie decision throws the issue back to Congress. “It is time for our elected representatives to bring reason back into this urgent agenda, to seize the opportunity to legislate for what makes sense and gives strength to America – a comprehensive immigration reform bill,” Bishop Soto said in a statement.

In the Archdiocese of San Francisco, the meetings at St. Peter in San Francisco were informational, said Francisco Gonzalez, Catholic Charities program director of the immigration program in San Francisco. “It boils down to we cannot do this now. People were eager to know why and what it meant, what the future holds. And it was also a way for us to say that we have to be more vocal now.

Maybe now take this setback as an incentive to fight for comprehensive immigration reform.”

Seattle Auxiliary Bishop Eusebio L. Elizondo, chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Migration, said the court’s decision was a “huge disappointment” and a setback, but he said the focus now needs to be on how to fix the current immigration system. “We must not lose hope that reform is possible,” he said.

In a news briefing, President Barack Obama said the country’s immigration system is broken and the Supreme Court’s inability to reach a decision set it back even further.

U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin praised the court’s decision for making clear that “the president is not permitted to write laws – only

A mother and daughter in Los Angeles react after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a split ruling June 23 blocking President Barack Obama’s executive actions to temporarily stop deportations.

Congress is,” which he said was a “major victory in our fight to restore the separation of powers.”

At issue in the United States v. Texas case are Obama’s executive actions on immigration policy that were challenged by 26 states.

The case, argued before the court in April, involved Obama’s 2014 expansion of a 2012 program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, and creation of the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, known as DAPA. The programs had been put on hold last November by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, upholding a Texas-based federal judge’s injunction against the executive actions. The original DACA program is not affected by the injunction.

The states suing the federal government claimed the president went too far and was not just putting a temporary block on deportations, but giving immigrants in the country without legal permission a “lawful presence” that enabled them to qualify for Social Security and Medicare benefits.

U.S. Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr., who defended the government, said the “pressing human concern” was to avoid breaking up families of U.S. citizen children, something echoed by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, CLINIC, and at least three Catholic colleges, which joined in a brief with more than 75 education and children’s advocacy organizations.

REUNION: More than 100 Immaculate Conception Academy alumnae gathered April 16 for the school’s annual all-invited reunion at South San Francisco’s Basque Cultural Center. Graduates were invited to bring their moms along too, said Patricia Cavagnaro, a 1960 ICA alumna as well as longtime development and alumnae relations director there. Special attention went to ICA alums from 1946, pictured left, and 1956 shown on right: Class of 1946 attendees included Bernice (Wyrsch) Johnston; Joan (Lloyd) Sisser; Patricia (Mahoney) Sienes; Mira (Mahoney) McTiernan; Patricia (Crowley) Becketti; Patricia (Murray) Kauser; Class of 1956 attendees included Marianne Petroni; Janet (Thain) Schroder; Jeannette (Maglio) Beeler; Sandra (Moretti) Sifferman; Diane (Reyes) Willwerth; Georgeen (Dussart) Tringali.

Outreach of highest order at St. Dominic’s July 16 Tom Burke catholic San Francisco

St. Dominic Parish invites Catholics to join them in hitting the streets to share Christ’s light July 16. Heading up the face-to-face evangelization effort is parishioner and 10-year lay missionary Tricia Bolle.

The all-day event seeks to “give other Catholic Christians a stronger understanding of what it means to evangelize, our own baptismal call to participate in Christ’s work of evangelization, and how we can evangelize by being a strong witness of our faith through radiating the joy of Christ alive within us through encounter with people in our everyday lives,” Tricia told me in an email. The day includes a talk on evangelization, some on-the-street evangelizing and a time to look back on the day.

“Any Christian who desires to learn more about what the church teaches about evangelization and how to begin to more effectively share their faith,” is a candidate for taking part Tricia said. Participants should be over 18 and mobile on foot or by wheelchair for the onthe-job element which will include outreach to people across several blocks around St. Dominic’s.

This is the parish’s fourth evangelizing outing but only the second where others have been invited to take part. And don’t worry about being too shy for the experience: “God loves shy people,” Tricia said. “Even the

shyest person can be an incredible evangelist in the hands of the Holy Spirit!”

What can people expect from the experience?

“To learn a lot about their faith, their relationship with Christ, God’s ability to work through them to touch others, trusting God and letting go of the things that prevent God from working more efficaciously through us, and that every person on the street has a story,” Tricia said.

The day is sponsored by the St. Francis Lay Missionary Society. Tricia is the group’s current president and has traveled to Asia to further their work. She said God called her “with great clarity” on her first visit to China in 2004 while still a graduate student at Stanford.

“As both a missionary and evangelist, what I seek to do most through my work is help people realize within themselves how they have been beautifully and uniquely called by Christ to go out into the world to transform the people and society around them with the love of God,” Tricia said. “I want more Catholics to see the opportunities that exist all around them every day to share their faith with another and to strive to become the saints that we are all called to be.”

People are invited to come individually or as teams of three to five. The day includes a presentation on how-to-evangelize followed by practicing evangelization in and around the parish compound interacting with others on the street and in local establishments. A late afternoon looking back on the experience is followed by vespers at 5 p.m. Contact Tricia at tricia@laymissionary.org.

St. Raymond teacher wins national award Mechatronics program in the middle school which he is expanding to the rest of the school in the coming year, he said. The school already has one 3D printer, he said.

By exposing middle school children to hands-on use of technology, and by giving them the opportunity to create, they are then able to go farther in high school and college – because they are comfortable with engineering, mathematics, and science, Hawthorn said.

A question Hawthorn says is very important for Catholic schools to address is the moral implications of science and technology discoveries and experiments, and that is incorporated into the curriculum at the Menlo Park Catholic elementary school. “I am working hard at St. Raymond to build out a program that will lead technology adoption in the classroom within a strong Catholic context on morality and serving humanity with these new tools,” Hawthorn said.

Valerie Schmalz Catholic San Francisco

St. Raymond middle school mathematics and mechatronics teacher Kenneth Hawthorn was selected as one of 10 Dremel Idea Builder Ambassadors, a designation that awards the school a 3-D printer and 10 spools of filament to use.

As a Dremel Ambassador, Hawthorn will document and share on social media the classroom 3-D printing experiences throughout the 2016-17 school year, according to Dremel, a tool manufacturer.

Educators with or without experience using 3D printing technology were invited to apply for the opportunity to serve as advocates for invigorating STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) through “making,” Dremel said.

Starting in August, Hawthorn said he will be tweeting and sharing on social media his experiences in the classroom with the printer. For the past several years, Hawthorn, a retired mechanical engineer, has been leading a Maker-space and

ACLU sues to end Catholic agencies’ aid to unaccompanied minors

The American Civil Liberties Union sued June 24 in federal in San Francisco seeking to end the Catholic Church’s access to federal grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that allow it to serve unaccompanied minors crossing the U.S. border, the National Catholic Register reported.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and its network of Catholic Charities and other partners, refuse to facilitate abortion for minors. The USCCB received close to $10 million in 2014 that covered temporary and long-term foster care that it has provided to thousands of unaccompanied minors. It includes family reunification services as well as a host of culturally appropriate support services, including school placement, dental care and medical care, the Register reported.

The ACLU of Northern California said in its lawsuit that the federal government is legally required to provide unaccompanied minors crossing the border with “basic necessities,” including abortion.

According to the ACLU, at least 11 of the more than 30 private agencies that received grants in 2016 to care for undocumented minors are affiliated with the USCCB or other religious groups that oppose abortion and contraception.

The ACLU claimed that Office of Refugee Resettlement’s own regulations state the recipients of grants “must ensure that the victim receives timely and comprehensive information about all lawful pregnancy-related medical services” but that section was deleted from the USCCB contract.

Fiorina: 2016 election choices ‘excruciating’ Valerie Schmalz Catholic San Francisco

One man stood up in the audience and asked former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina the question on the minds of many struggling with how to vote in the upcoming presidential election: “Can we just sit this one out?”

Or as Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser stated at the outset of the hour-long conversation with Fiorina at the sixth annual Napa Institute conference July 7 in Napa: “There is a prudential choice that we are all facing. It is the difference between Hillary and Donald Trump.”

“Donald Trump has made it an excruciating choice,” Fiorina told hundreds of conservative Catholics filling the ballroom at the Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa.

Fiorina endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz as the Republican nominee after she withdrew because she believed he had the best chance to stop Trump.

However, she said, “I have been very vocal that I think Hillary Clinton cannot be our president. I don’t think there is a lot of ambivalence in that.”

Bishops call for federal response on California abortion mandate

The U.S. bishops are urging Congress to enact the Conscience Protection Act of 2016 to overrule the federal government’s decision to uphold a California requirement that almost all health plans cover elective abortions, including late term abortions.

New York state and a Washington state judge also took actions to coerce provision of abortion, the bishops said.

“Disturbing new actions to force health care providers to participate in the destruction of human life cry out for an immediate federal remedy, “ New York Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan and Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori – as chairmen of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on ProLife Activities and Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty respectively– said in a July 7 letter to Congress.

They called for immediate action by

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, speaks with former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on July 7 at the sixth annual Napa Institute conference in Napa.

The Napa Institute was created in response to “a growing trend toward secularization in American culture, with Catholics facing dwindling relevance, threatening their ability to be heard.” The Napa Institute states in its mission statement: “By leading participants to a deeper understanding

Cardinal Dolan and Archbishop Lori cited three recent examples of government coercion on abortion: – The June 21 ruling by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services allowing, “contrary to the plain meaning of current federal law, that California’s Department of Managed Health Care can continue forcing all health plans under its jurisdiction to cover elective abortions, including lateterm abortions.”

– New York state is mandating that all health insurers operating in New York require small group employers – including faith-based nonprofits and Christian businesses – to cover all abortions with no exemption.

– A Washington state trial court ruled

of the truth behind the faith, the Napa Institute emboldens Catholics to live and defend their faith with a peaceful confidence that is borne out of solid formation, fellowship and spiritual enrichment.”

This year’s four-day conference included as speakers New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Catholic University of America president John Garvey, Princeton University scholar Robert George, and Vatican nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations Archbishop Bernadito Auza.

In this election, “We’re all confused and we’re praying,” Fiorina said.

Fiorina has had her run-ins with Trump, most famously last September when Trump told Rolling Stone magazine: “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?! I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?”

Fiorina briefly referred to the comment at the Napa event, with a smile.

However, she said, Trump has promised to appoint pro-life conservative justices to the Supreme Court, has promised to defund Planned Parent-

hood and has said he believes in the sanctity of life -- commitments that led the Susan B. Anthony List to endorse his candidacy. “At least that gives us a chance to hold him to his word,” Fiorina said. “Hillary believes in abortion up until the very last second before birth,” Fiorina said.

The Susan B. Anthony List was created to elect pro-woman pro-life candidates to office. SBA List and its political action committees, the SBA List Candidate Fund and Women Speak Out PAC, spent $15.25 million in the 2014 election cycle to defeat pro-abortion incumbents and elect pro-life candidates to federal and statewide office, according to its website.

Fiorina declined to predict who would win the presidential contest in November: “None of us know. We cannot predict. I am done predicting.

“I can tell you this. We must have the Senate,” she said. “We must hold onto record majorities in the House. If Donald Trump is president, he must have to deal with solid majorities in the House and Senate. If Hillary Clinton is president, we must have solid majorities in the House and in the Senate. So that is what I am working on.”

June 21 that public hospitals in that state must do abortions if they also offer maternity services, and the requirement applies even if the public hospital is acquired by a Catholic health care provider, the state attorney general’s office said.

In 2014, California started forcing almost all health plans in the state to cover elective abortions, even late-term abortions. Religious employers in California that offer group health plans to their employees lodged an objection with HHS, which has oversight responsibility for enforcing federal conscience laws. On June 21, HHS upheld the California Department of Managed Care directive.

families and children throughout our state,” said Edward E. Dolejsi, executive director of the California Catholic Conference, the bishops’ public policy arm. The MFG rule, enacted more than 20 years ago, denied financial support to babies born while their families were receiving the CalWORKs basic needs grant which penalized women for having children while receiving government assistance.

The California Catholic Conference also lauded the fact the budget includes “$15 million in funding to help immigration services and naturalization programs, $65 million to address California’s teacher shortage, and $500 million to improve access to quality early childhood education, are also included in this budget.For this we are appreciative.”

Dolejsi said, “It dismays us, however, to see that funding to provide physicianassisted suicide services for Medi-Cal recipients is still included while our Medi-Cal program offers no palliative care benefit for those same recipients.

The inclusion of this suicide benefit for some of the state’s most vulnerable people should deeply offend and trouble all responsible citizens.”

St. Dominic parishioner forming ‘deliverance’ ministry Christina Gray Catholic San Francisco

Despite a committed and active faith life, St. Dominic parishioner Chris Smith suffered silently during a long estrangement from her adult daughter.

In 2014 she found unexpected freedom from the tyranny of her emotions and eventual reconciliation with her child through a lay prayer ministry that helps break the power of “spiritual bondage” Chris Smith in the lives of believers. With the blessing of Dominican Father Michael Hurley, pastor, Smith is working to coordinate a similar ministry at St. Dominic called Unbound: Freedom in Christ by hosting a workshop July 23 at St. Dominic parish hall in San Francisco.

Unbound has helped Smith and other Christians root out resistance and ingrained patterns of thinking and behaving that limit a free response to the love of Jesus Christ and block us from living the full life.

“Priests often hear the voice of pain and confusion in the course of their pastoral ministry,” said Father Hurley. “The Unbound movement is a

pastoral approach to seeking freedom in Christ by way of a process of deliverance rooted in the sacraments, nourished by prayer and directed toward living in the vitality of the Spirit.”

The Unbound ministry was founded by a Catholic couple, Neil and Janet Lozano, based on Neil’s book “Unbound: A Practical Guide to Deliverance.” According to its website, the mission of the ministry is to equip Christian clergy and laypeople around the world to help people take hold of the freedom that they have been given in Jesus Christ, and then help others do the same.

“I felt lighter, freer, cleaner, and clearer than ever before,” Smith told Catholic San Francisco.

After her experience she went through training to serve as a lay member of the ministry. “What I experienced made me want to dedicate the rest of my life to helping other believers, especially Catholics, experience freedom in Christ.”

Smith said her own experience taught her that even good Christians can experience oppression of the spirit through negative influences which can manifest in harmful patterns of behavior or thinking, such as addictions, victimization, depression, extreme negativity, promiscuity, rage, marital strife, perversions – virtually any bondage caused by an “unclean spirit.”

“God wants us to be free of whatever enslaves us,” she said. “It is for that freedom that Christ set us free.”

Smith said she prefers the words “spiritual cleansing” to “deliverance” which evokes the casting out of evil spirits. She stressed that the Unbound ministry deals with influences or spiritual “oppression” but not with demonic possession,” she said. Exorcisms are performed by Catholic priests.

Ministers trained in the Unbound model use a step-by-step approach based on five keys: repentance and faith, forgiveness, renunciation, authority and the father’s blessing. Two ministers pray privately with the individual receiving prayer to set people free or to start that process.

Smith stressed that the ministers are instruments or intercessors in the process, not the healers themselves.

“The important thing to remember is that Jesus and the Holy Spirit do the work of freeing and healing,” she said. “The ministers are simply loving, accepting and willing instruments.”

St. Anne novena to stress family, outreach to youth Valerie Schmalz Catholic San Francisco

For more than 100 years, parishioners and devotees of the grandmother of Jesus have attended nine days of prayer and joined in an outdoor procession honoring St. Anne at the Sunset Catholic church that bears her name in San Francisco.

At this year’s July 18-26 novena to St. Anne, pastor Father Dan Nascimento is stressing family Michael and the value of intergenerational Pritchard ties – after all, he says, St. Anne was the grandmother of Jesus.

to return the novena to what it was at the very beginning – a family event. For decades, families prayed at the novena and parents and grandparents brought children to be blessed during the outdoor eucharistic procession traditionally held on the Saturday of the novena.

This year, the outdoor procession will go on as usual. But there will be much more, he said.

The 10:30 a.m. “Intergenerational Mass and Blessing” on July 24 will include a blessing for the whole family. July 18 will feature “Family Comedy Night with Michael Pritchard” beginning with praise and worship at 6:30 p.m. in Moriarty Hall.

Pritchard, a Catholic, husband and father, is an inspirational speaker and comedian. The theme will be “family, faith and fun in the Year of Mercy,” the pastor said.

WASHINGTON – Recent comments by a high-ranking Vatican official have sparked questions about the direction priests should face while celebrating Mass. Cardinal Robert Sarah, prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, urged priests and bishops at the Sacra Liturgia conference in London July 5 to start celebrating Masses “ad orientem,” or facing away from the congregation, beginning the first Sunday of Advent this year. Several liturgical experts said Cardinal Sarah does not have the authority to impose a change but is simply encouraging a practice that liturgical law already permits.

WASHINGTON – Thirty-three percent of women in the U.S. have been victims of domestic violence, said clinical psychologist Christauria Welland, who spoke during a conference on domestic abuse held at The Catholic University of America July 7 and 8.

Welland, who specializes in intimate-partner abuse, appeared at “Hope, Help and Healing: A Catholic Response to Domestic Violence Abuse and Violence,” speaking on the effects of trauma on people who experience abuse and violence.

She was joined on a panel by Mindy Thiel, director of Chesapeake Counseling Associates, who has overseen the Safe Start Program, a counseling program through the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Family Justice Center in Maryland, for children who have been exposed to domestic violence.

In 2010, over 1,000 women were murdered by their partner in the U.S., and 241 men, Welland said.

“Children are acutely aware of what’s going on between their parents, they also worry about upsetting the abuser,” said Thiel. “They try to appease the abuser. They worry that the survivor, may also upset the abuser. They become more hypervigilant during the abusive incident. Some children might hide during the explosive incident. They might withdraw.”

Welland, a bilingual clinical psychologist in private practice in San Diego, is the founder of Pax in Familia, an international Catholic ministry dedicated to the prevention of violence and abuse in Catholic families.

She said “violence is a learned behavior,” and can be corrected through proper therapy.

“Therapy is an experience of being loved by another human being,” she concluded. “If I don’t love these people, I can’t help them. I need to be able to understand and I need to have enough empathy where we can work together and I feel as though I actually want to hear what they have to say.”

cons, seminarians and laypeople who work in marriage preparation and pastoral care “regarding matters of human sexuality” in the Philadelphia archdiocese received six-page guidelines July 1 for implementing Pope Francis’ exhortation on marriage and family, “Amoris Laetitia” (“The Joy of Love”).

The guidelines cover topics that were the focus of intense debate by two synods of bishops in Rome, in 2014 and 2015, and among Catholics in communities the world over, particularly concerning divorced and remarried Catholics and homosexual Catholics. Pope Francis has urged that pastors and all Catholics strike a balance between teaching the truths of the permanence of marriage and the dignity of human sexuality with a merciful approach to people in broken marriages or with same-sex attraction.

According to the Philadelphia guidelines, the pope is calling “for a sensitive accompaniment of those with an imperfect grasp of Christian teaching on marriage and family life, who may not be living in accord with Catholic belief, and yet desire to be more fully integrated into church life, including the sacraments of penance and Eucharist.” the guidelines frequently use the word “accompany” in stressing that pastors and lay ministers must take a sensitive approach in pastoral conversations.

US and Spanish journalists will lead Vatican press office Junno Arocho Esteves Catholic News Service

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis named two experienced journalists – including its first female vice director – to lead the Vatican press office.

Greg Burke, a native of St. Louis, succeeds Italian Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, who retires after 10 years as head of the Vatican press office, the Vatican announced July 11. Spanish journalist Paloma Garcia Ovejero fills in Burke’s spot as vice director, making her the first female to hold that position.

Burke served as special communications adviser in the Vatican’s Secretariat of State starting in 2012 before he was named by Pope Francis as the vice director of the press office last December.

A graduate of Columbia University’s school of journalism, Burke spent 24 of his past 28 years based in Rome as a journalist – with the National Catholic Register, Time magazine and the Fox News network.

The middle child of six, Burke grew up in St. Louis Hills and went to Jesuit-run St. Louis University High School. He is a numerary member of Opus Dei. Msgr. Dario Vigano, prefect of the Vatican’s Secretariat of Communications, paid tribute to Father Lombardi’s 10 years of service at the press office.

Speaking to journalists July 11, Msgr. Vigano praised Father Lombardi’s professional work and his “ecclesial vision” of the church.

During the reorganization of Vatican offices under Pope Benedict XVI, Father Lombardi was appointed general director of the radio in 2005 and head of the Vatican press office in 2006, while continuing to lead CTV. Before his retirement in

Pope taps Chicago archbishop for bishops’ congregation

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has named Chicago Archbishop Blase J. Cupich a member of the Congregation for Bishops, the office that advises the pope on the nomination of bishops around the world. Archbishop Cupich, 67, takes the place left vacant

by U.S. Cardinal William J. Levada, who turned 80 in mid-June and automatically ceded his membership.

The congregation is led by CaArchbishop nadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet, its Cupich prefect. Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl of Washington also serves as a member.

In a statement from Chicago, Archbishop Cupich said: “I am humbled by the Holy Father’s trust and confidence in me. While my primary responsibility remains here in the Archdiocese of Chicago, I look forward to joining other members of the Congregation for Bishops to serve the pope and the church in this ministry.”

Nuncios, or Vatican ambassadors, around the world conduct the initial search for priests suitable for the office of bishop and forward their names to the congregation. Congregation members review the biographies of potential candidates and comments and recommendations collected by the nuncios before making their recommendations to the pope.

‘Vatileaks’ acquittal

Italian journalists Gianluigi Nuzzi and Emiliano Fittipaldi embrace after leaving the final session of the so-called “Vatileaks” trial at the Vatican July 7. A Vatican court, citing freedom of the press, acquitted the two journalists who published confidential Vatican documents. Their source, Spanish Msgr.

islation that would have allowed abortion of fetuses diagnosed with life-limiting conditions. Members of the Dail – the lower house – voted 95-45 July 7 to reject an amendment that would permit abortion in cases described as “fatal fetal abnormality.”

Pro-life campaigners pointed out that children in

2013, Pope Benedict named Msgr. Vigano the new director of CTV. Father Lombardi retired as head of Vatican Radio in February this year when the Secretariat for Communications took over the general administration of the radio.

Garcia Ovejero, who studied journalism in Spain and earned a masters degree in management strategies and communications at New York University, worked as the Italy and Vatican correspondent for Spanish radio broadcaster Cadena COPE. “For me it’s an honor, it’s a service and it’s another way of serving the church. But it is the same church and, in some way, the same type of work: to proclaim the Good News and to transmit faithfully and with dignity the pope’s message,” Garcia Ovejero told Catholic News Service.

The Spanish journalist downplayed her role as the first female vice director of the press office, saying that the first women who served the church “were the ones who found the empty tomb and proclaimed the Resurrection to the apostles.”

“I am in no way the first woman. The first woman above all in the church, in the Vatican and in the press office is the Virgin Mary,” she told CNS. Garcia Ovejero said she hoped her role will be to serve and fulfill “the will of God, the will of the pope and, in every possible way, the will of the journalists.” these circumstances often live beyond birth and some go on to lead healthy lives. Ireland’s attorney general had declared the proposed law unconstitutional. However, the government did not publish that legal advice, and three senior government ministers broke ranks and voted in favor of the law.

The Irish Constitution provides for an equal right to life for mothers and their unborn children. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that this permits abortion in limited circumstances. Health Minister Simon Harris, opposing the legislative change, told the parliamentary debate: “It can never be said that a fetus with a fatal fetal abnormality will not be born to live for a short time, even if that is only to be minutes, to draw a breath and to have a detectable heartbeat. If a fetus has the capacity to be born, it has the protection of the constitution.”

Sunday readings

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time GENESIS 18:1-10A The Lord appeared to Abraham by the terebinth of Mamre, as he sat in the entrance of his tent, while the day was growing hot. Looking up, Abraham saw three men standing nearby.

When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of the tent to greet them; and bowing to the ground, he said: “Sir, if I may ask you this favor, please do not go on past your servant. Let some water be brought, that you may bathe your feet, and then rest yourselves under the tree. Now that you have come this close to your servant, let me bring you a little food that you may refresh yourselves; and afterward you may go on your way.” The men replied, “Very well, do as you have said.” Abraham hastened into the tent and told Sarah, “Quick, three measures of fine flour!

Knead it and make rolls.” He ran to the herd, picked out a tender, choice steer, and gave it to a servant, who quickly

prepared it. Then Abraham got some curds and milk, as well as the steer that had been prepared, and set these before the three men; and he waited on them under the tree while they ate.

They asked Abraham, “Where is your wife Sarah?” He replied, “There in the tent.” One of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah will then have a son.”

PSALM 15:2-3, 3-4, 5 He who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.

One who walks blamelessly and does justice; who thinks the truth in his heart and slanders not with his tongue.

He who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.

Who harms not his fellow man, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor; by whom the reprobate is

despised, while he honors those who fear the Lord.

He who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.

Who lends not his money at usury and accepts no bribe against the innocent. One who does these things shall never be disturbed.

He who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.

n a Peanuts cartoon, Lucy, seeing a record of Brahms’s Fourth Symphony in Schroeder’s hands, asks him what he is going to do with it. Schroeder says he is going to take it home and listen to it.

She asks him if he is going to dance or march to it.

“No, I’m just going to sit and listen to it,” he replies.

Lucy persists: “You mean you are going to whistle or father charles sing to it?” puthota Schroeder insists he is just going to listen to it. As he leaves, Lucy gazes at him in disbelief, exclaiming, “That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.”

Listening is hard for us. At times impossible. Being busy doing something is what everyone seems to want. With competing and conflicting voices within and without, coupled now with the so-called multitasking, just listening to someone or something deeply with undivided attention is not at all easy. The word of God calls us to just listen to God. He speaks: All we have to do is listen to him. Just hear his word.

scripture reflection

There are other traditionally emphasized themes in the word of God this Sunday. One is of hospitality, shown by Mary and Martha to Jesus, placed alongside Abraham’s incredible hospitality as he entertains angels. A vital sign of Christian faith, hospitality is crucial for building up faith communities, evangelization, and stewardship. Reimagining the church for our times depends on our practice of the ministry of hospitality so that everyone is welcome and no one is a stranger. It consists not so much in words as in making everyone an essential and precious part of the community. Unless each one is welcomed with the inclusive and life-giving spirit of Jesus and made sharers of the treasures of the grace of God, we cannot revitalize the church, especially in these times when secularization is rampant and faith is pushed to the edges of life.

In the Gospel, there is the other theme of the dialectic between contemplation (Mary) and action (Martha); between faith and justice; between worship and service. With Martha as my mother’s name, I have forever been biased in favor of youguessed-who. It is important for us as church to live out the charisms of union with God and service of fellow human beings. Endowed with varying emphases on these charisms, the church celebrates the dynamic journey from contemplation to action and vice versa. Faith necessarily flows into service and service brings us back to faith. Faith does justice,

but justice leads us back to union with God. However, the central theme in the Mary-Martha story is that we hear the word of God. Martha’s hospitality is impeccable. We no longer consider Martha as an overzealous or jealous woman. Jesus in Luke’s Gospel emphasizes that “listening to him speak” is vital for both worship and service. Similar emphasis is seen in other passages in Luke: Mary is blessed rather because she hears the word of God and keeps it (Luke 11:28) and anyone who hears God’s word and obeys it is Jesus’ mother and brother (Luke 8:21). In the other book Luke wrote, the Acts of the Apostles, deacons’ ministry originates in this concern: “It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table” (Acts 6:2) so that the Apostles can “devote” themselves “to prayer and to the ministry of the word” (Acts 6:4). Lukan Jesus’ vision is that the essential “service” of the church is to the word of God, out of which all ministries and missions will flow.

The invitation and challenge for us, therefore, is to hear God’s word in the Scriptures and the sacred traditions of the church, in history and in mystery, in prayer and in the signs of the times, and, ultimately, to hear Jesus himself, God’s own word. Let’s just listen to Jesus.

Pray for those who scorn, take advantage of you, pope tells poor you that if you do this, there will be great joy in the church, in your hearts and also in beloved France,” the pope told his audience in Vatican City on July 6.

LUKE 10:38-42 Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.”

The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.”

Struggling with grandiosity

e live in a world wherein most everything overstimulates our grandiosity, even as we are handed fewer tools to deal with that.

Several years ago, Robert L. Moore wrote a very significant book entitled, “Facing the Dragon.” The dragon that most threatens us, he believes, is the dragon of our own grandiosity, that sense inside us that has us believe that we are singularly special and destined for greatness. This condition besets us all. Simply put, each of us, all 7 billion of us on this planet, cannot FATHER ron help but feel that we are the rolheiser center of the universe. And, given that this is mostly unacknowledged and we are generally ill equipped to deal with it, this makes for a scary situation. This isn’t a recipe for peace and harmony, but for jealousy and conflict.

And yet this condition isn’t our fault, nor is it in itself a moral flaw in our nature. Our grandiosity comes from the way God made us. We are made in the image and likeness of God. This is the most fundamental, dogmatic truth inside the Judaea-Christian understanding of the human person. However it is not to be conceived of simplistically, as some beautiful icon stamped inside our souls. Rather it needs to be conceived of in this way: God is fire, infinite fire, an energy that is relentlessly seeking to embrace and infuse all of creation. And that fire is inside of us, creating in us a feeling of godliness, an intuition that we too have divine energies, and a pressure to be

singularly special and to achieve some form of greatness.

In a manner of speaking, to be made in the image and likeness of God is to have a microchip of divinity inside us. This constitutes our greatest dignity but also creates our biggest problems.

The infinite does not sit calmly inside the finite.

Because we have divine energy inside us we do not make easy peace with this world, our longings and desires are too grandiose. Not only do we live in that perpetual disquiet that Augustine highlighted in his famous dictum: “You have made us for yourself, Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you!” but this innate grandiosity has us forever nursing the belief that we are special, uniquely destined, and born to somehow stand out and be recognized and acknowledged for our specialness.

And so all of us are driven outward by a divine gene to somehow make a statement with our lives, to somehow create a personal immortality, and to somehow create some artifact of specialness that the whole world has to take note of. This isn’t an abstract concept; it’s utterly earthy. The evidence for this is seen in every newscast, in every bombing, in every daredevil stunt, and in every situation where someone seeks to stand out. It’s seen too in the universal hunger for fame, in the longing to be known, and in the need to be recognized as unique and special.

But this grandiosity, of itself, isn’t our fault, nor is it necessarily a moral flaw. It comes from the way we are made, ironically from what is highest and best in us. The problem is that, today, we generally aren’t given the tools to grapple with it generatively. More and more, we live in a world within which, for countless reasons, our grandi-

osity is being overstimulated, even as this is not being recognized and even as we are being given less and less the religious and psychological tools with which to handle that. What are these tools?

Psychologically, we need images of the human person that allow us to understand ourselves healthily but in ways that include an acceptance of our limitations, our frustrations, our anonymity, and the fact that our lives must make gracious space for everyone else’s life. Psychologically, we must be given the tools to understand our own life, admittedly as unique and special, but still as one life among millions of other unique and special lives. Psychologically, we need better tools for handling our grandiosity.

Religiously, our faith and our churches need to offer us an understanding of the human person that gives us the insights and the disciplines (discipleship) to enable us to live out our uniqueness and our specialness, even as we make peace with our own mortality, our limitations, our frustrations, our anonymity, and create space for the uniqueness and specialness of everyone else’s life. In essence, religion has to give us the tools to healthily access the divine fire inside us and act healthily on the talents and gifts God has graced us with, but with the concomitant discipline to humbly acknowledge that these gifts are not our own, that they come from God, and that all we are and achieve is God’s grace. Only then will we not be killed by failure and inflated by success.

The task in life, Robert Lax suggests, is not so much finding a path in the woods as of finding a rhythm to walk in.

Letters Refugees’ article seemed one-sided

Re “World’s 20 million refugees deserve a compassionate hand,” June 23: The article by Mercy Sisters Diane Clyne and Marilyn Lacey seems to represent only one side of this issue, especially when they write opposing any legislation that would block resettlement of refugees who seek asylum in the U.S. As a third-order Dominican and a Catholic who has taught religion most of my life, I feel that there are ways to be compassionate and still keep Americans safe. Instead of blocking legislation we must block refugees from crossing our borders.

The FBI reported to us that ISIS stole our passport machines and can easily falsify documents and that it is absolutely a fact that terrorists are coming into America with the refugees. We were warned that the refugees cannot be vetted; the terrorist who killed our military did enter America as a refugee. Now, when every month we have ISIS attacks we must protect our citizens.

A compassionate viewpoint was offered and that is to create a safe haven in the Middle East and monitor it so that the refugees can live in safety without all the perils of traveling so far from their homes. The second suggestion is to finally have a plan to defeat ISIS so that eventually the refugees can go back to their homelands.

I hope this paper will allow my viewpoints to be read as well as the sisters’. I feel that my values have not been represented. I believe that as Catholics we should put God first. Mother Teresa said that America would not have peace as long as we support abortion. We need to keep alive our religious freedoms, The Little Sisters of the Poor were to be fined because they did not offer to pay for abortions and contraceptives in their health care. As Jesus told us, “Put God first and everything else will follow.”

The lighter side of marriage prep

Re “Pope: Many couples do not see marriage is for life,” June 23: We agree with the story on Pope Francis calling many Catholic marriages null because of a lack of sacramental intent.

My wife and I did 2,500-plus marriage preparations over 25 years. We agree with Francis: A

sacramental marriage needs intention. And many, many don’t.

My wife, whom everyone confides in, has kept track of the many spoken reasons for “marriage in the church” all-too-often spoken in marriage prep.

Percentages are for humor.

1. Grandma won’t attend if it’s not in church: 8 percent 2. Golly gee, we are “doing the church thing” because we are Italian, Irish, Polish, etc.: 9 percent 3. We want the church venue because daddy’s American Legion Hall is tacky: 5 percent 4. We want a pretty church for the pics and video (Sts. Peter and Paul in San Francisco) where Joe DiMaggio was married: 15 percent 5. The church is only two blocks from the reception place and we can use church parking: 20 percent 6. No long Mass, as our friends want to party: 10 percent 7. We really want it in the park but San Francisco is too rainy/foggy to plan: 5 percent 8. My uncle priest coming from Chicago insists on a church: 3 percent We gave up marriage prep in 2000 when during the faith session we had the couples break into couple groups to discuss “how are we going to pass on the faith to children?” The first group reported that “we will let the nuns do it.” Other groups said that was their idea, too. I started yelling that there will be no nuns for their children five years from now. My wife said to me, “You’re done we’re done.”

Francis is easy to talk too so he knows about sacramental intent; some bishops are not so easy to talk too so they have not heard goofy reasons for marriages.

Our work in Retrouvaille mirrored Francis’ caution on marriage because of pregnancy. The yelling of “you married me because I was pregnant” can last about 30 years or a lot sooner.

Speaking the truth in love

Re “Bishops call on Filipinos not to bully, harass gay community,” June 23: Yes, sincere deep compassion for the Orlando shooting victims and their families is unquestionably the humane and Christian response. But I wonder if the bishops were actually being quoted when phrases like “sexual orientation” and “sexual preferences” were used in the article?

I hope not – and am guessing those were the unwary reporter’s words – as such language buys into the extremely murky ideology of random gender identity, which is a Pandora’s box and a tragedy itself.

God help us all to “speak the truth in love.”

Jay Strickwerda San Francisco

Facing our Lord in worship

Isn’t it wonderful news that the Vatican, through Cardinal (Robert) Sarah, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, has recently called on all priests to return to offering Mass facing “ad orientem,” which is facing East. That way, priest and parishioners together are facing the Lord as they worship him. And the priest can then lead us all, in his role of “persona Christi,” to offer God the holy sacrifice of the body and blood of our Lord, on our behalf. This is actually in accord with Vatican II, which never required the priest to change to facing the people. Already our neighboring Diocese of Santa Rosa is implementing this in its Cathedral of St. Eugene. And when we are being obedient to the Vatican we act Christ-like, for Christ “became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name ...” (Philippians 2:8). And we focus more on God this way. Surely we will receive blessings from God for this.

The last Puritan statesman and the 2016 conventions

H

ad I the resources, the one new book I’d give every delegate to the national political conventions meeting later this month is James Traub’s masterful biography, “John Quincy Adams: Militant Spirit” (Basic Books).

Traub grabs your attention quickly, seven sentences in: “(Adams) did not aim to please, and he largely succeeded.” Why? Because “he lived according to principles he considered self-evident.

Others of his contemporaries did so as well, of course; what set Adams george weigel apart was that his principles were so inviolable that he eagerly sacrificed his self-interest to them. As president he accomplished very little of his ambitious agenda in part because he refused to do anything to reward his friends or punish his enemies. Such inflexibility is a dubious virtue for a politician.”

Some 544 pages later, I had gotten the distinct impression that Traub wished there were a bit more principled inflexibility and disdain for self-interest in our politics today. And truth to tell, James Traub signals his admiration for his subject early on, cataloguing others of Adams’ virtues that we’d do well to find examplars of today: “Though he never wore a uniform or saw battle, Adams was a figure of immense physical and moral courage. His bravery was a form of patriotism. see weigel, page 13

Precious decisions This is the third in a series by Basilian Father Anthony Giampietro, archdiocese development director, on topics related to personal planning, especially estate planning. Father Giampietro’s goal is to provide up-to-date information for you and your loved ones as you plan for the future. The first article, “Planning ahead is a great gift to loved ones,” appeared in the May 26 issue. The second, “About trusts,” appeared June 9.

I

n the first article in this series, I mentioned the importance of naming persons who can act on your behalf when you are no longer able to make medical or financial decisions for yourself.

It is important to note that the person you empower to make medical decisions will not necessarily be the same person you empower for financial decisions. For example, one of your children or friends may simply have more expertise and experience in one area or another. It is essential that in each case you choose an FATHER individual you think will best anthony represent your wishes. This giampietro, csb can be difficult, especially if the person you name is not someone you might be expected to name. Your eldest child might seem like a natural choice, for example, but he or she may not be as well suited as someone else.

When selecting your health care representative, it is important that he or she be aware of the principles of our Catholic faith. For example, the state of California now allows euthanasia, something which is very much contrary to Catholic teaching.

While we ought not be “kept alive at all costs,” it is always wrong to intentionally kill an innocent human being. Many persons now fear being kept alive by machines rather than being allowed to die, and

this can be a legitimate concern. This is why it is important to be aware of the reasons for our Catholic teachings and also to be aware of how to apply these teachings appropriately in difficult situations.

There is much valuable literature available on this topic. For now I will point you to the Advance Health Care Directive that I mentioned in my first article. It can be found at SFArch.org/directive.

Please contact me if you would like to receive a copy in the mail.

Naming an appropriate person to handle your financial affairs is also of great importance. Your will and trust should be very clear as to how you would like your assets to be distributed. However, for most of us, there will come a time when we are no longer really competent to make our own finance and estate related decisions. This is why a Durable Power of Attorney is needed. It is one of those documents that your lawyer will help you prepare as you put your affairs in order. It is a great source of peace to everyone involved when your wishes are clear and when you have specified those who are empowered to act on your behalf. Please consider today how you can begin the process of putting things in order, if you have not done so already.

As we did in the spring, this fall we will hold personal planning seminars on end of life bioethical decisions, cemetery and funeral planning, and estate planning. These seminars will take place on Sept. 10, Sept. 17, Oct. 22 and Oct. 29. The announcements detailing the specific locations and times of these seminars will be posted in the Catholic San Francisco and your parish bulletins in August.

Please call or email the Office of Development if there are particular topics about which you would like to have more information. Have a wonderful summer!

Weigel: The last Puritan statesman and the 2016 conventions FROM PAGE 12

So complete was his identification with the nation that came into being when he was a boy of nine that he did not flinch at either the prospect of death or – what may be harder for men of great ambition – the wreckage of his career, so long as he believed that service to the nation required it.”

John Quincy Adams had a lot going for him: two remarkable parents, Abigail and John; natural gifts of intellect; a ferocious capacity for work; a heart that could be touched by tenderness. Yet what struck me in pondering his long life, during which he served in more great offices to greater effect than perhaps any other American, was Adams’ constant determination to live virtuously. He believed that there were moral truths built into the world and into us; that we can know those truths by reason; that knowing those truths, we know our obligations; and that, with that knowledge, we find the measure of how we should behave.

His commitment to be a man of virtue went hand-in-glove with an abiding concern about the fragility of democracy – another recurring theme in Adams’s long life in the arena. Nor was he alone in his determination and concern. James Madison may have drafted the Constitution knowing that he was not crafting an instrument of governance for angels.

But Madison and the other founders and framers – be they Anglicans, Congregationalists, Unitarians, Baptists, Calvinists, or the occasional Catholic – were convinced that only a virtuous people could sustain an experiment in democratic self-governance over time, and they worried, rightly, that a virtue deficit, especially one that expressed itself in what they called “faction,” could unravel the new republic.

Similar concerns about republican fragility are probably not high on the worry list of most convention delegates heading for Cleveland or Philadelphia this month. But they should be. The machinery of our democracy is not working very well right now.

Authoritarian winds are blowing at both ends of the

ideological spectrum. Political correctness is rotting our political culture, in a debauchery exacerbated by vulgar reactions to the “pc” police. “Faction,” in the form of gender, racial, or ethnic tribalism, is everywhere. How many 2016 convention delegates suspect that the national discontent has something to do with a virtue deficit in our national political culture? How many public officials, and how many of those who seek to lead us, know, like John Quincy Adams, the line they will not cross, if principle demands “Stop here”?

Adams was the last great Puritan in American public life, most frequently celebrated today for his role in the Amistad case, in which he struck a blow against America’s original sin, slavery. To my mind, however, John Quincy Adams stands out as a model for 21st-century American politicians because he did not aim to please, but to do the right thing, irrespective of the cost.

Dallas: Violence calls for ‘moment of national reflection’ FROM PAGE 1

He said the tragic shootings are reminders of the need to “place ever greater value on the life and dignity of all persons, regardless of their station in life” and hoped that in the days ahead people would look to ways of having open, honest and civil dialogue on issues of race relations, restorative justice, mental health, economic opportunity, and addressing the question of pervasive gun violence.”

Archbishop Blase J. Cupich of Chicago said: “Every corner of our land is in the grip of terror fueled by anger, hatred and mental illness and made possible by plentiful, powerful weapons.”

“It is time to break the cycle of violence and retaliation, of fear and powerlessness that puts more guns in our homes and on our streets,” he said in a statement.

Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Philadelphia similarly pointed out violence is not an answer.

“The killings in Baton Rouge (Louisiana), Minnesota and Dallas have proven that by deepening the divides in our national life,” he said in a July 8 statement.

“Black lives matter because all lives matter – beginning with the poor and marginalized, but including the men and women of all races who put their lives on the line to protect the whole community,” he said.

Other bishops have also responded with statements to the recent fatal shootings.

Pittsburgh Bishop David A. Zubik said: “If someone does something

We must build bridges.

We must tear down walls. We must break the cycle of violence.”

He also called on people to recognize that each person is an individual. “We must not judge any person based on their race or color, their national origin, their faith tradition, their politics, their sexual orientation, their job, their vocation, their uniform.”

Bishop John E. Stowe of Lexington, Kentucky, said the shootings should cause us to ask God “to show us the way to peace and how to live in harmony with each other.”

He urged Christians to be “people of hope promoting reconciliation in a very violent world” and asked: “How much more killing must we witness before sensibly and rationally addressing the prevalence of guns, the inequalities in access to justice and the violence found in human hearts?”

Bishop Christopher J. Coyne of Burlington, Vermont, and Episcopal Bishop Thomas Ely of Vermont issued a joint statement as “faith leaders whose hearts are aching” over the violent shootings in Dallas, Louisiana and Minnesota.

“We value the hard work and faithful commitment of those entrusted with public safety in communities through-

out Vermont and beyond,” the prelates said. “Those who serve the public in dangerous situations are to be commended for their service. Violence directed against police officers in the line of duty has no place in our society.”

“At the same time,” they added, “we deplore the sin of racism that so often manifests itself in acts of prejudice, discrimination and violence toward people of color in our country. This too has no place in our society.”

Here are excerpts from other bishops’ statements issued about the shootings: Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley of Boston: “The Dallas Police Department was there to provide protection for those who were peacefully exercising their constitutional right. The purpose of the protest was to raise awareness of and call attention to a problem which cuts across the country. We are now in the second consecutive summer of turmoil linked to the deaths of AfricanAmerican men in circumstances which often cast a pall over some methods of law enforcement. Each case must be evaluated on its merits and generalized statements often risk being mistaken.

But to deny the existence of a problem is to miss an opportunity to address it. … The means and methods of addressing the problem will require the best of our civil servants and the best of our citizens.”

Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston: “It seems as though at times our hearts are stony and paralyzed. We need God’s spirit of mercy to melt them and reopen our hearts to the beauty of human life and to rebuilding human communities.”

Deacon McGhee: Former WWII Marine gunner retires as rural deacon FROM PAGE 1

the St. Vincent de Paul Society to distribute food until just recently.

He visited the boys assigned by the courts to the boys’ ranch in La Honda.

By the time John and Rosemary McGhee arrived in San Gregorio, they had served as lay missionaries building houses and schools in Ecuador, Los Angeles and Illinois.

They had adopted seven children, and he was working as a union electrician and had earned a Master of Applied Theology from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley.

John McGhee applied to be a deacon in 1990, when the Archdiocese of San Francisco was closing churches and Our Lady of Refuge was in jeopardy. “I thought if Our Lady of Refuge had a deacon, the church might not be closed,” he said. Archbishop John Quinn ordained McGhee to the permanent diaconate Feb. 25, 1995.

Deacon McGhee repaired the church, fixed the wiring and the plumbing, and made sure the landscape was kept up, said Mary Bordi, who said now that Deacon McGhee is no longer able, she and other parishioners realize even more thoroughly how much he did. “For years he dressed up as Santa Claus for the church, so they would come to the hall,” said Deacon Ghiorso.

When his wife died in 2006, Deacon McGhee barely slowed – the need seemed too great to him, his daughter Catharine McGhee Staal recalled.

“Dad was doing tons of funerals at the time. He became so popular that people would approach me that I didn’t even know (telling me) ‘Your dad gave such a nice funeral for my grandmother, my grandfather.’”

The McGhees had purchased 54 acres to open a KOA family campground. Zoning issues killed the plan and they sold all but 11 acres. For a while the family lived in three trail-

Right, Deacon McGhee is pictured with daughter Catharine and her family at Our Lady of Refuge. ers, connected by wooden boardwalks. McGhee commuted to San Jose, working as an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers electrician until he retired in 1987.

“My mom was a convert,” said Staal, who said when she was young her mother was quarantined with a bad case of tuberculosis in a Catholic institution. “The nuns were talking to her about becoming baptized. She wasn’t sure she was going to make it, and that’s when she converted. And she converted all the way! You couldn’t get more Catholic than mom!”

John and Rosemary married in 1954. First they adopted Justine, a Nicaraguan orphan in Los Angeles, then Hugo, a 15-year-old orphan living abandoned on the streets of Quito, Ecuador. The rest followed soon after, with four children adopted from Catholic Charities while the family was in Peoria, Illinois. At one point, there were four children under 5, said

McGhee. “Adopting multiracial or bi-racially in the early ‘60s was not heard of. People really looked down on that at the time,” Staal said.

The children grew up in San Gregorio. “We were doing the whole sustainable thing before it was cool. We had everything – chicken, cows, and horses and pigs. Rabbits, you name it. We had two donkeys, Jenny and Geraldine,” said Staal, who with her husband and three children, lives downstairs from her father in a house he built.

“Deacon John is a treasure for our parish and for the church,” said Father Joseph Previtali, administrator at Our Lady of the Pillar. Lorraine Moriarty, executive director of the St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Mateo, who has known the McGhees for 25 years, called them both “role models” and “a wonderful couple.”

Today Deacon McGhee is slower.

He has had five strokes through the years, and had already had a massive

heart attack in 1988 – before he even entered the diaconate program in 1990. Then in August, his health got much worse, with cancer flaring up, and he retired.

Always a Marine, Deacon McGhee attended the outdoor Mass in May for Memorial Day at Our Lady of the Pillar Cemetery, in a wheelchair and wearing a World War II veterans cap. That Marines connection circled around unexpectedly a couple years ago. Staal reached out to find her birth mother, and the two discovered she had been a Marine too. Her birth mother told Staal she always prayed her daughter was with a good family.

“She was really bummed out Mom was not still around. She said your dad is absolutely my saint. She is so grateful,” Staal said.

When she visits, she goes to Mass at Our Lady of Refuge Mission with the family. “She’s a Marine! She always says ‘Semper Fi’ to Dad!”

Books offer insights on conflict, leadership for church ministers “Redeeming Conflict: 12 Habits for Christian Leaders” by Ann M. Garrido. Ave Maria Press (Notre Dame, Indiana, 2016). 270 pp., $15.95.

“To Heal, Proclaim and Teach: The Essential Guide to Ministry in Today’s Catholic Church” by Jared Dees. Ave Maria Press (Notre Dame, Indiana, 2016). 298 pp., $16.95.

Daniel S. Mulhall Catholic News Service

In “Redeeming Conflict,” Ann M. Garrido, an associate professor of homiletics at Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, has written an easy-to-read, informative book about how to lead in situations when there is conflict. In the book’s 12 chapters, Garrido suggests key concepts that leaders should keep in mind to help them to manage these conflictual situations successfully.

Garrido, who has served as the senior editor of Human Development magazine, writes in a personal style that engages the reader immediately. She begins each chapter with a pertinent TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTRACT quotation, sets out the/ TOUR key concept of the chapPentecost Inc. ais personal not a participant in the offers California insights Travel Con- from ter Tours, using story, sumer Restitution Fund.

ing tips for religious educators.

In this book, Dees provides a mini-compendium of ideas for those in Catholic Church ministry, not just those in catechesis, although catechesis remains the focal point for much of the content. Dees is a catechist, so it is no surprise that catechesis is his reference point.

Dees’ primary argument is that religious instruction is not enough if we wish to bring people to faith. Instead, “we have to heal wounds, and we have to go deeper with our proclamation of salvation in Christ,” he says in the introduction. Dees notes that he comes to this conclusion from his personal experience as a teacher.

He writes, “I spent too many years focused on teaching people about the doctrines that I love rather than loving the people that I taught.”

The core of the book is the second part, in which he writes about our need to imitate Jesus by first caring for people’s needs (healing), then telling the story of salvation (proclamation), and only then, when we have their full attention, teaching them the beliefs of the church. In Part 3 he looks at the ways we can evangelize individuals and groups, and Part 4 looks at evangelizing various groups of people: children, teens, collegians, young adults and adults.

Dees writes with passion and conviction. He is very familiar with church documents related to catechesis and evangelization, and uses them well. His ideas for evangelizing the various age groups seem reasonable and practical. His entertaining stories always lead to a point, which he then reinforces with substance.

While I’m not willing to say that this is the “essential guide” for Catholic ministers today, I do recommend it for anyone in ministry to the To T Tour our ur 7 70302 030 0302 03 02 2 Catholic Church, and especially to those who work in the fields of evangelization and catechesis.
