<span class="itemfrom">[<a href="http://opuspublicum.com">Opus Publicum</a>]</span>
</p>
<div class="itemdescription">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Christian Democracy</i>, an online publication to which I have contributed, appears to have fallen temptation to what I would call the “socialist seduction” prevalent in certain Christian—including Catholic—circles. Rightly dissatisfied with contemporary capitalism (which finds no support in the Church’s authentic social magisterium), socialist Catholics are in pursuit of a socio-economic order which, broadly speaking, is more just, equitable, and stable then the present <i>ordo</i>. Instead of looking to Catholic-grown theories like distributism or solidarism, these Catholics believe that socialism—or at least some form of socialism—can cure our present woes. The problem facing socialist Catholics is that numerous magisterial statements, including Pope Leo XIII’s <i>Rerum Novarum</i> and Pius XI’s <i>Quadragesimo Anno</i>, appear to condemn socialism outright. What is a good socialist Catholic to do? <i>Christian Democracy</i> authors Jack Quirk and Doran Hunter think they have the answer. In two separate articles (see <a href="http://www.christiandemocracymagazine.com/2015/10/catholicism-socialism-and-expressing_21.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.christiandemocracymagazine.com/2015/11/can-catholic-be-socialist_38.html">here</a>), both men attempt to lay forth a version of socialism which does not run afoul of the magisterium. So long as socialism isn’t atheistic and hell-bent on destroying the family, private property, or social hierarchies then the conflict is resolved, or so Quirk and Doran opine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The problem with both men’s analyses is that they largely ignore the central role subsidiarity plays in Catholic social teaching. Although forms of socialism more compatible with subsidiarity have been proposed over the past two centuries, Doran’s preferred brand of socialism seems awfully top heavy with its vision of large social safety nets, agricultural subsidies, and state-aid for select business enterprises. While Doran is right to decry the economic injustices found within our capitalist system, he fails to account for how a socialist system with a large regulatory apparatus can lead to equally problematic injustices such as a “picking winners” approach to industrial policy which can deaden entrepreneurial initiative and waste resources. Although Catholic social teaching contemplates some role for welfare programs and regulation, these ought to be “last resort” measures intended to insure that gross injustices do not befall the least fortunate in society. They should not be prioritized.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Quirk doesn’t deal with subsidiarity at all. He simply defends a type of socialism which “expand[s] ownership of the means of production to working people,” a system Quirk believes “enjoys specific papal approval.” But the mechanism of expansion is key. For decades, neoliberal/libertarian Catholics have accused distributists of simply wanting to capture state power in order to strip people of their wealth and redistribute it across the board. Although distributists have vehemently denied this, Quirk appears to have no problem with it. But that raises all sorts of questions, such as who decides who gets what and under which circumstances? How much wealth is “too much”? And if the means of production are to be forcibly transferred, which means go where and to whom? There seems to be too much top-level guesswork involved, and besides, it’s far from clear that the Church’s magisterium comes close to supporting such a radical, command-planned reorganization of the economy in the first place.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">None of this is to say that Quirk and Doran do not have their instincts in the right place. Clearly they do. Economic liberals, such as those housed at the Acton Institute, no longer even try to square their tenets with the Church’s magisterium; their “rigorous economic science” is “above” mere papal pronouncements. To Quirk and Doran’s credit, they try hard to make sure that their brand of socialism is compatible with Catholicism. And even though their respective accounts are not entirely convincing, hopefully they will lead thoughtful readers to explore the Church’s social magisterium more deeply and, from there, to seek out more grounded approaches to restructuring the economy in a thoroughly Catholic manner.</p><br />Filed under: <a href="http://opuspublicum.com/category/catholic-social-thought/">Catholic Social Thought</a>, <a href="http://opuspublicum.com/category/uncategorized/">Uncategorized</a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godelicious/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/delicious/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gofacebook/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/facebook/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gotwitter/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/twitter/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gostumble/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/stumble/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godigg/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/digg/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/goreddit/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/reddit/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1502/" /></a> <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=opuspublicum.com&blog=70036207&post=1502&subd=opuspublicum&ref=&feed=1" width="1" />

<p><br /><br />As I watched this video I thought of St. Therese entering the Carmel at fourteen and of St. Clare running away in the middle of the night to be shorn and clothed in the robes of what came to be the Poor Clares. What a blessing for this young woman as she knocks on the door and enters into the Eucharistic Presence to try her vocation. Please pray for her and all those exploring religious vocations. And pray for Mother Angelica whose medical situation is precarious. They have put her on a feeding tube and she continues to suffer for all of us. May God bless her with strength and courage.

<span class="itemfrom">[<a href="https://canonlawblog.wordpress.com">In the Light of the Law</a>]</span>
</p>
<div class="itemdescription">
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">There is, I fear, no end in sight of the nonsensical nonsense being unleashed in the wake of various high-level ecclesiastic dalliances with doctrinal ambiguity and disciplinary confusion in regard to holy Communion for divorced-and-remarried Catholics. Call it Life in this Valley of Tears. Anyway, Pope Francis is going to do about this whatever he is going to about it and the Church will respond to whatever he does in due course. For now, I simply write to urge caution about some proposals to facilitate irregular reception of the Sacrament in these cases even if such proposals are couched in apparently sophisticated scholarly terms.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">For example, <a href="http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/articolo/1351182?eng=y">an Australian theologian has proposed a rescript</a> to be issued by a bishop in accord with norms supposedly to be devised by Pope Francis, granting permission for divorced-and-remarried Catholics to take holy Communion. The proposal includes impressive vocabulary such as “juridical” and “administrative” and “canons”; it sports footnotes to “assessors” and “<em>salus animarum</em>” and warns about “anomalies”; it underscores Church teaching on the permanence of marriage and assures readers that it offers no doctrinal or canonical changes to this teaching.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">Balderdash. Pure, unadulterated, balderdash. This proposed rescript is really a license to sin.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">More specifically, this rescript would (purport to) grant permission to ignore one sin (adultery) and to commit another (sacrilegious reception of holy Communion). It even manages to suggest a <em>third</em> sin (attempting sacramental Confession without firm purpose of amendment)! Couched in mellifluous pastoral, sacramental, and canonical language, to be issued on arch/diocesan letterhead, such a letter, expressly invoking Our Lord’s teaching on marriage and to be signed by a Successor of the Apostles in the name of Christ, who—I kid you not—congratulates the couple on their perseverance in allowing the Church to grant them this favor(!), would constitute, I suggest, a blasphemy (CCC 2148).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">As <a href="https://canonlawblog.wordpress.com/2013/12/12/lets-understand-whats-at-stake/">I and many others have said from the outset of this mess</a>, holy Communion for divorced-and-remarried Catholics—except for those committed to living as brother-and-sister, and besides some (vanishingly rare, if correctly understood) <a href="https://canonlawblog.wordpress.com/2015/11/20/toward-informed-discussion-of-the-internal-forum/">‘internal forum’ cases</a>—cannot legitimately be approved unless marriage is not what Jesus plainly said it was, and/or adultery is not what Jesus plainly said it was, and/or the Eucharist is not what Jesus plainly said it was. Every attempt I’ve seen so far to prove otherwise rests on doctrinal and disciplinary interpretations so tortured they would make a Pharisee blush.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">If it matters, the article published in support of this proposed rescript is also a hodge-podge of amateur’s errors, including: claiming that mental instability (whatever exactly <em>that</em> is) is a “diriment impediment” to marriage; misreading <em>Mitis</em> to authorize its shorter process only in documentary cases; not realizing that “administrative” acts ARE “juridical” acts; dragging Canon 59 into a discussion of “privileges <em>of the faith</em>” cases; and so on. While some sentences are just funny (“Such administrative acts may address canonically irregular and practically messy situations in respect of which a moderated pastoral response is prudent”) others, such as the paragraph beginning “Such undesirable prospects…” are, well, I don’t know what they are, except that most can mean a fantastically large number of things, and I don’t feel like guessing which points might be uppermost in the author’s mind. But it doesn’t really matter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">The bottom line remains the bottom line: anyone who claims that holy Communion may be approved for divorced-and-remarried Catholics <em>without</em> repudiating one of the three fundamental assertions above simply does not know, or care, what he is talking about. I do not know how many ways there are left to re-state this point. Personally, I’ve about run out.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">Still, there is, I suppose, one way to secure holy Communion for divorced-and-remarried Catholics without attacking any of the fundamental assertions upon which the current prohibitory discipline rests: Simply refuse to <em>defend</em> the doctrine or, less obviously, just decline to <em>enforce</em> the discipline. Don’t <em>change</em> anything; just, you know, ignore certain things, like, say, Canons 915, 916, and 987 in light of, say, Canons 1055 and 1085.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;"><em>That</em> approach is <em>greatly</em> to be feared.</span></p><br /> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/canonlawblog.wordpress.com/3466/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/canonlawblog.wordpress.com/3466/" /></a> <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=canonlawblog.wordpress.com&blog=30834243&post=3466&subd=canonlawblog&ref=&feed=1" width="1" />

In the trailer All is asked by Stiller and Owen Wilson if he or she is a man or a woman. "Do you have a hot dog or a bun?" Wilson asks. <br /><br />The transgender community has a petition to boycott the film ad the petition reads<blockquote>On November 18th, the much-anticipated trailer for the sequel to Ben Stiller’s hit film ‘Zoolander’ was released.<br /><br />In the "Zoolander 2" trailer, an androgynous character played by Benedict Cumberbatch is asked by Zoolander and Hansel if he is a ‘male or female model’, and if they ‘have a hot dog or a bun’.

<span class="itemfrom">[<a href="http://branemrys.blogspot.com/">Siris</a>]</span>
</p>
<div class="itemdescription">
<p><a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/phc3.12184/full">Joshua Rollins on traditional <i>consensus gentium</i> arguments</a>:<br /><br /><blockquote>Here is the argument's basic form:<br /><br />P1:<br />(UA) Belief in God is (nearly) universal.<br />P2:<br />For any given proposition P, if belief in P is (nearly) universal, P must be true (i.e,, P must obtain).<br />P3:<br />So, if belief in God is (nearly) universal, God must exist.<br /><br />∴ God must exist.<br /><br />The traditional formulation is perhaps the most well-known version of the common consent argument. Versions of the traditional formulation appear in Cicero's On the Nature of the Gods (book 1, section 17) and Plato's Laws (book X, 886).</blockquote><br />I think we need to be careful about assuming that Plato's argument in Laws X is actually in this family of argument; the point being addressed in context is whether it is <i>easy to show</i> that gods exists, and Clinias says that it is, for two reasons: (1) the order of the world makes it obvious to the senses; and (2) Greeks and barbarians alike already accept the existence of gods. It's possible to read this as two arguments for the existence of gods; it's also possible to read it as an argument for the existence of gods and an argument that you hardly even need that; and it's also possible to read it as an argument that it's easy to show, or perhaps that it's the sort of thing that one need not worry about accepting. The Athenian agrees, but goes on to say that there are people whose corruption of mind Clinias has hardly begun to grasp. Thus one could well interpret it as just saying that since lots of people regardless of society agree that gods exist, there's not much need in the context of law to worry about defending it -- if we take that interpretation, the Athenian rejects it in the dialogue on the grounds that it underestimates how perverse atheists are, but it is in any case not in the particular family of argument identified by Rollins.<br /><br />Cicero, who is presenting what he regards as Epicurus's argument, does put forward something roughly like this, but it's not the mere fact of universality that is doing the work in the Epicurean argument: it's that it is such as to suggest that the belief is not purely dependent on education and custom, and thus that it is implanted or innate in us. Then <i>this</i>, the claim about its entanglement with human reason, is what yields the conclusion. Cicero later in the work (book II, section 2) has his Stoic philosopher note the resilience of the belief as a confirmation: time destroys error and fiction, but belief in the gods is quite stable and resistant to change among populations. The argument too seems to be a somewhat different argument from what Rollins has in mind; for instance, this form of argument does not fall victim to the criticisms that Rollins goes on to give of the traditional argument. For instance, Rollins says, " traditionalists fallaciously presuppose that (near) consensus on any given proposition P provides proof that P is true". This is certainly false of the argument as we find it in Cicero.<br /><br />It's worth noting that neither the argument as we find it in Plato (regardless of the interpretation we take) or as we find it in Cicero has any problem with the first difficulty Rollins notes: "it's highly unlikely that belief in God (or gods) was ever universal, or even nearly so". The Ciceronian version does not depend on universality, but on naturalness. And the Platonic version is presented explicitly in a context in which everyone recognizes that there are atheists -- it's just not relevant to the point at hand, which is whether atheism is a serious enough issue to address directly. And we also have to keep in mind that ancient and medieval philosophers tend not to be very strict about universality in general -- they don't treat occasional exceptions as counterexamples to universal statements as long as the exceptions can be explained by some kind of impeding or defective cause. (Their universals tend to be 'Aristotelian universals', as we call them now.) That nature occasionally produces freaks of nature, the odd lusus naturae, some preternatural phenomenon or out-of-the-ordinary monster, was an extremely common view.<br /><br />I think, if we are going to talk about 'traditional formulations' of <i>consensus gentium</i> arguments, we should take the Ciceronian argument seriously and hold that they involve an intermediate step to what is natural or fitting to a rational creature.

<p>How do you:</p>
<ol>
<li>Promote Catholic vocations to the <strong>priesthood</strong>?</li>
<li>Cultivate virtuous, manly, financially successful <strong>husbands</strong>?</li>
<li>Attract young men and grown men to study Catholic <strong>theology</strong>?</li>
</ol>
<p>One way you can do this is start a Troop of Saint George in your community. <strong>The Troops of Saint George is an outdoor, bushcraft, adventure fraternity for Catholic priests, deacons, fathers, and sons. </strong><strong>Here are some photos of what we do:</strong></p>
<p>This is not a rubber chicken. The boys prepared their dinner from live chickens, to plucked, to quartered, to cooked on the campfire. These young men now know how to bring a bird from yard to table. #realfood<a href="http://1ywpi925eu8i25ne6noy0131.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/2015-11-21-16.17.34-1-e1448383546942.jpg"><br />

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">by Tommaso Maria Cardinal Zigliara, OP</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">Translated by Timothy Wilson</h4>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><em>Today we continue <a href="http://thejosias.com/translations/" target="_blank">our series of original translations</a> of important texts relating to Catholic political philosophy. <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15759a.htm" target="_blank" title="Tommaso Maria Zigliara">Tommaso Maria Cardinal Zigliara</a> was a prominent Thomist philosopher and theologian in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Among many other accomplishments, he was closely involved with the preparation of the Leonine edition of the Angelic Doctor’s </em>Opera Omnia <em>(<a href="http://archive.org/stream/operaomniaiussui01thom#page/n11/mode/2up" target="_blank">the first volume of which</a> contains his synopses and annotations on St. Thomas’</em> Organon <em>commentaries)</em>,<em> and assisted in preparing the encyclicals </em></em>Aeterni Patris<em><em> and </em></em>Rerum novarum<em><em>.</em></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><em>The chapter translated here is taken from book two of the third part of Zigliara’s widely circulated </em></em>Summa philosophica<em><em><em> (14<sup>th</sup> ed., 1910).</em></em> Having treated of domestic, civil, and religious society in their principles and particulars in the preceding books and chapters of this part, he now sets himself the task of treating in brief the relations which should obtain between those two perfect societies, the Church and the State. The original text can be found <a href="https://archive.org/stream/summaphilosophic03zigluoft#page/296/mode/2up" target="_blank">here</a></em><em>.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>This is the third of the five articles of the chapter, treating of liberty of cult. The remaining articles will be posted serially over the next few days.</em></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: center;">THIRD ARTICLE</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>On liberty of cult</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>I. The notion of liberty of cults.</strong> Liberty of cult is intimately involved with liberty of conscience. For if each and every citizen is free to decide upon a religion for himself according to his will, since religion implies also an external cult, each and every citizen ought to be free to profess his religion by any extrinsic cult whatever: and because the State is not able to offend against liberty of conscience, so neither may it prohibit liberty of cult; no indeed, it ought to sanction it by its laws. Thus teaches liberalism, the opinion of which the Church has condemned, as has been related in no. VII of the preceding article. Since, therefore, the liberty of cult is wholly founded in the liberty of conscience, it is to be refuted by the same process and with the same principles which we have laid down against liberty of conscience. Therefore let the first conclusion be set forth:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>II. Liberty of cult, considered in itself, is absurd.</strong> This proposition remains proved in the first place from the things said above. For liberty of cult is inferred from the liberty of conscience. Because, therefore, this latter is absurd, the former ought also to be called absurd. — But furthermore: liberty of cult having been conceded to man, there is removed from God the power of assigning a determinate cult to men, and there is imposed upon God an obligation of accepting or at least approving any cult shown to Him by human reason. And indeed, if God is able to command a cult, if it is clear that He has prescribed a determinate cult, if He is held by no reason to accept the arbitrary cults of men, men are not able, without manifest irreligion or impiety, to oppose the commands of God, and their cult is an arbitrary and true mockery of God, and liberty of cult is superstition and an impiety. But it is an impiety to deny to God the ability of determining cult, and to impose in any way the duty of approving any cult whatsoever indiscriminately. Therefore liberty of cult is absurd. — In addition, let the second conclusion be stated:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>III. Although the civil social authority is able at times to tolerate liberty of cult, yet it is in no way able to sanction it by any law.</strong> There is nothing to be added concerning tolerance after <a href="http://thejosias.com/2015/11/23/on-liberty-of-conscience/">the things said concerning tolerance of liberty of conscience</a>. And so the thesis is proved with respect to approbative or prescriptive law. We have proved above that political atheism is entirely repugnant. Therefore, just as any citizen, so also society itself, endued as it is with the nature of a moral person, is obliged to the duties of religion, and of true religion, by a most strict precept of nature. But religion implies external cult. Therefore the civil authority, to which it belongs to direct society, is most strictly obliged to observe, inculcate, and promote this external cult: I say that the civil authority is held to a cult consentaneous to the nature of sociality, that is, public, social, and finally, proper to society as it is society, or as a public and moral personality. But a false cult is not religion, but superstition and consequently error and impiety. Therefore to sanction liberty of cult, is to sanction impiety, but the denial of some social <em>cult</em> is the negation of religion in society <em>qua</em> society. Therefore social authority, although at times it is able to tolerate liberty of cult, yet is in no wise able to sanction it in law.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These things seem to me to be evident, and I wonder that they are denied not only by the rationalists—who, since they either explicitly deny God or retain Him in word only, logically reject any religion by the individual and from society—but by the liberalism which wishes to be called Catholic. For a Catholic would know that God ought to be worshiped with a true cult, and thus a false cult is not able to be endorsed; that God has spoken to men, has commanded a determinate cult, has constituted the Catholic Church as the sole <em>magistra</em> in those matters which pertain to religion—and hence there ought not to be approved any cult but that ordained by the Church, commanded by God Himself.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>IV. Note. A difficulty is resolved.</strong> You may say: by means of liberty of cult, the Catholic Church also is able freely to practice its worship, while on the contrary, this liberty having been removed, the Church loses even her juridical liberty. — I respond, that this sort of argument effects a sham, and confounds things which, among themselves, are distinct and ought to be distinguished. For we are able to speak in a twofold manner concerning liberty of cult, <em>relatively</em> and <em>absolutely</em><a href="http://thejosias.com/feed/#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup><sup>[1]</sup></sup></a>. <em>Relatively,</em> against those who proclaim liberty of cult and yet (just as we have heard from Rousseau concerning liberty of conscience) plague the Church, and prohibit her from practicing her worship, we argue in this manner: Either liberty of cult is to be admitted as a true social principle, or not. If it is to be admitted, therefore unjustly and irrationally are Catholics prohibited from profiting by their liberty; but if not, therefore liberty of cult is merely proclaimed by means of a solemn lie. This argumentation is indeed right, and strikes against the adversaries: wherefore also the Catholic Church does not scornfully reject it, but urges it so that she might defend the claims of her liberty.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But this does not imply that the liberty of cult is able to be defended <em>absolutely</em> by Catholics. For liberty of cult, considered in itself, is absurd and impious, as has been proved. Therefore it is absurd and impious to defend it in an absolute manner. And although from such liberty there sometimes arise goods, namely the liberty of Catholics, Catholics are not for this reason able to teach or defend it; for it is not licit to speak error for the apparent defense of truth: «For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie, unto his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner? And not rather (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil, that there may come good? whose damnation is just» (Rom. III, 7-8).</p>

<div class="itemdescription">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mattias A. Caro, <a href="https://ethikapolitika.org/2015/11/23/the-detached-servants-of-christ-the-king-and-of-caesar/">writing over at <i>Ethika Politika</i></a>, calls on Catholics to detach themselves from the petty things of this world in order to better serve Christ the King. I couldn’t agree more. Quoting Pope Pius XI’s <i>Quas Primas</i>, Caro reminds readers that before Christ can reign in society, He must first reign in our hearts, minds, and wills. In most instances, Christ’s social reign begins in the home and then moves outward into the schools, workplaces, and seats of political authority. It is a pious practice for Latin Catholics to enthrone the Sacred Heart of Jesus in their homes, reciting this prayer nightly:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1495"></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most sweet Jesus, humbly kneeling at Thy feet, we renew the consecration of our family to thy Divine Heart. Be Thou our King forever! In Thee we have full and entire confidence. May Thy spirit penetrate our thoughts, our desires, our words and our works. Bless our undertakings, share in our joys, in our trials and in our labors. Grant us to know Thee better, to love Thee more, to serve Thee without faltering.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of Peace, set up Thy kingdom in our country. Enter closely into the midst of our families and make them Thine own through the solemn enthronement of Thy Sacred Heart, so that soon one cry may resound from home to home: “May the triumphant Heart of Jesus be everywhere loved, blessed and glorified forever!” Honor and glory to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary!</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Such acts of devotion are spiritually beneficial, but not essential. Eastern Christians, for instance, can make a point of honoring Christ the King in the icon corner during their evening prayers by simply reciting, “O come let us worship Christ, our King and our God.” What is important is that these words never become routine. We must not fail to make them a part of our daily lives, even when faced with scorn or worse from others. As I have <a href="http://thejosias.com/2015/01/23/catholic-integralism-and-the-social-kingship-of-christ/">discussed over at <i>The Josias</i></a>, taking Christ’s Kingship seriously, that is living as an <i>integral Catholic</i>, has real social consequences that cannot be ignored:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even in the absence of states and more localized political communities which are fully permeated with the teachings of the Catholic Church, integralists live out their public lives, be it in the workplace or the voting booth, under the reign of Christ. That is, there is no separation between private “religious life” and public “citizen life”; the obligations in justice which should bind all nations at all times continues to bind all Catholics, regardless of what the civil authority recommends. While prudential considerations will affect application, no Catholic businessman, for instance, holds the right to pay his workers unjust wages simply because liberal economic ideology equates “justness” with the prevailing market wage. Similarly, no Catholic politician, regardless of which level of office he holds (municipal, state, or national), has the right to support immoral laws legalization, inter alia, abortion, same-sex unions, narcotics, prostitution, and pornography. Integralism recognizes no right to abscond from moral duty in the name of temporal convenience.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How many Catholics in the United States today are willing to live out their public lives in this manner? Let’s take ten steps back. How many Catholics in the United States today are willing to pray in restaurants before their meals or make the Sign of the Cross in public when they pass by a church or a cemetery? As Caro notes in his article, Catholics are fine and dandy engaging in social-media bickering over transient political causes, but remain unwilling to fully invest themselves in the Faith. Catholicism, sadly, is too often degraded into an adjunct for any number of prevailing ideologies. Instead of being the driving force in our lives, one which will lead us to the Kingdom of Heaven, the Catholic Faith fills-in some moral and metaphysical gaps to help us better negotiate late-modern liberalism.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Is it any wonder then that we find ourselves—and the Church—in such a deplorable state of affairs? When the Faith becomes nothing more than a culturally custom, an ornament, or matter of passing intellectual interest, it becomes nothing at all. At every moment God invites us to renew our love and dedication to Him through shriving and receiving the Eucharist. Without the sacraments and prayer, there is no hope for living detached from worldliness under the banner of Christ the King, nor shall we have the strength to renew society in the Light of the Gospel.</p><br />Filed under: <a href="http://opuspublicum.com/category/church/">Church</a>, <a href="http://opuspublicum.com/category/integralism/">Integralism</a>, <a href="http://opuspublicum.com/category/politics/">Politics</a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godelicious/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/delicious/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gofacebook/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/facebook/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gotwitter/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/twitter/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gostumble/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/stumble/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godigg/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/digg/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/goreddit/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/reddit/opuspublicum.wordpress.com/1495/" /></a> <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=opuspublicum.com&blog=70036207&post=1495&subd=opuspublicum&ref=&feed=1" width="1" />

<p>Most definitely, they do. And let's admit there is an antagonistic relationship between police departments and black men that leads to innocent black men being shot and--yes--murdered. We practice a destructive form of denial if we try to pretend that racism isn't a part of it.
All that said, I can't get on board with BLM for one simple fact: they only get involved when some black lives are

On another front, meanwhile, the timing of the appointment coincides with this weekend's introduction of <i><a href="http://ordinariate.net/divine-worship-missal" target="_blank">Divine Worship: The Missal</a></i>, the culmination of a years-long effort which saw centuries of Anglican texts culled into a single volume for the ordinariates' universal use, replacing the US-centric <i><a href="http://church.atonementonline.com/wp-content/uploads/Book-Of-Divine-Worship.pdf" target="_blank">Book of Divine Worship</a></i> in use since 2003. With the new work's preparation overseen by Rome, Lopes handled the bulk of its coordination as secretary of the special commission charged with integrating Anglican traditions into Catholic liturgy. (The bishop-elect is seen above presenting the new Missal to the Pope, aided by the top American at the "Holy Office," Archbishop Gus diNoia OP, who likewise aided in the project.)<br /><br />While the choice of a Roman-rite cleric as "flying bishop" of the sprawling Anglo-Catholic diocese might appear unusual on the surface, beyond being steeped in the ordinariates from their inception given <a href="http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-popes-project-in-us-debut-grand.html">CDF's lead responsibility</a> for the <i>Anglicanorum</i> project, Lopes' disposition fulfills both the theological and practical requirements for the unique post to function as effectively as possible. For one, as Steenson as well the heads of the English and Australian ordinariates – all of whom were Anglican bishops before "swimming the Tiber" – are married, the founding ordinaries couldn't become Catholic bishops, even whilst being granted all the jurisdiction and insignia of the episcopacy, save for the ability to ordain. As having a bishop of their own has been seen as a key aspect toward affirming the project's ecclesial "maturity," then, a celibate was needed. Practically speaking, meanwhile, as the securing of a bishop frees the ordinariate from having to call on Latin-church prelates to ordain the steady stream of clerics who've joined its ranks – 62 so far, most of them married – Lopes' youth and lack of a family will likewise make it easier to handle the ferocious traveling Steenson took on to be present to his scattered flock.<br /><br />In a <a href="http://ordinariate.net/documents/2015/11/JNS_Statement_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank">message to the ordinariate</a> released this morning, the retiring prelate – a onetime sportswriter and Oxford-trained patristic scholar – indicated that the choice of the new ordinary was made using the "significant consultative process" laid out by the retired pontiff in <i>Anglicanorum</i>, under which the ordinariate's <a href="http://ordinariate.net/governing-council" target="_blank">13-cleric governing council</a> prepared the <i>terna</i> from which Lopes was chosen.<br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KAPIEeR4Yig/VlSH4h9GjZI/AAAAAAAASEM/9VeFwe18vhk/s1600/usordch.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KAPIEeR4Yig/VlSH4h9GjZI/AAAAAAAASEM/9VeFwe18vhk/s400/usordch.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span>Beyond the completion of the missal project, earlier this year the Stateside Ordinariate dedicated an ample headquarters of its own: a jewel-box of a Chancery (above) adjacent to its "principal church," Houston's <a href="http://olwcatholic.org/" target="_blank">Our Lady of Walsingham parish</a>, which now becomes a cathedral in the proper sense with the arrival of a bishop. Upon his ordination on Candlemas Day, 2 February, Lopes will be based there, inheriting a staff led by now-Msgr <a href="http://www.al.com/living/index.ssf/2012/11/former_dean_of_advent_cathedra.html" target="_blank">Larry Gipson,</a> the onetime pastor of the largest parish of the Episcopal Church, H-Town's St Martin's, where his congregation included former President George H.W. Bush.<br /><br />The ordinariate's administrator until Lopes' arrival – after which he'll bear the title "Ordinary-emeritus" – Steenson will introduce his successor at a 10.30 Central press conference today in the Walsingham Chancery. For reasons of space, the bishop-elect's ordination is most likely to be held in Houston's Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, with the CDF prefect Cardinal Gerhard Müller ostensibly to preside. Given the spread of the ordinariate's charge, with the appointment Lopes becomes the sole Latin-church bishop to hold joint membership in the episcopal conferences of both Canada and the US, a distinction likewise enjoyed by a handful of Eastern-church hierarchs.<br /><br /><b>-30-</b></span>

<div class="itemdescription">
<p><a href="http://angeluspress.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/turkey-copy.jpg"><img alt="Pope Pius XII Indult Turkey Friday After Thanksgiving" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1334" height="666" src="http://angeluspress.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/turkey-copy.jpg" width="1000" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 300;">There have recently been disagreements among some parishioners about whether or not American Catholics can, are able, or should eat meat on the Friday after Thanksgiving.</span></p>
<p>His Holiness, Pope Pius XII did, in fact, grant a papal indult, lifting the abstinence requirement for Catholics on the day following Thanksgiving. This was not done, as many believe, because of poor refrigeration techniques, since this indult was given in the 1950’s, when refrigeration was nearly as good as it is today. It was granted to Americans as a fatherly recognition of our naturally good holiday, which centers around a tasty bird.</p>
<p>It seems pretty clear. But what muddies the waters are the new regulations on penance.  In past years the abstinence requirements have been greatly diminished, both in the declaration made by the American Bishops in 1966 and the new code of Canon Law from 1983.  This means that even without the indult, eating leftovers on the Friday after Thanksgiving would carry no weight of sin – as long as other penance is substituted.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Pastoral Statement on Penance and Abstinence – 1966</strong><br />
<i>This said, we emphasize that our people are henceforth free from the obligation traditionally binding under pain of sin in what pertains to Friday abstinence, except as noted above for Lent.</i></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Code of Canon Law – 1983</strong><br />
<i>Can. 1253: The Episcopal Conference can determine more particular ways in which fasting and abstinence are to be observed. In place of abstinence or fasting it can substitute, in whole or in part, other forms of penance, especially works of charity and exercises of piety.</i></p>
<p>This leaves Catholics with the opportunity to substitute some other form of penance on Fridays. So, very technically speaking, the  “Turkey Indult” of Pius XII has been abrogated, since the new Code of Canon Law supersedes it.</p>
<p><a href="http://angeluspress.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/pope-pius-xii-with-bird.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignright" height="320" src="http://angeluspress.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/pope-pius-xii-with-bird.jpg" width="294" /></a>However, many of us Catholics still traditionally maintain abstinence from meat as their chosen form of penance on Fridays. At Angelus Press, we list the traditional days of fast and abstinence on our calendar, noting that they are no longer sinfully binding, but traditional – except, of course, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Conclusion</strong></span>: This leaves us with a traditional practice that stems from an old church law – a church law that was lifted for this specific day for American Catholics. It follows, then, that traditionally, one could, in a clear conscience, follow the indult of Pius XII.</p>
<p>So we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving with your family, and with turkey sandwiches on Friday. We’ll join you in this, and in offering prayers of Thanksgiving for our blessings and for the freedoms we still enjoy. And if you feel compelled to do something extra, may we humbly suggest an extra decade for the cause of Canonization for Pope Pius XII – who, we would posit, liked his turkey and stuffing sandwich toasted and on rye, with a <em>schmear</em> of mayo and cranberry sauce.</p>
<p>…Or maybe that’s just this author.</p>

<div class="itemdescription">
<p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am eagerly looking forward to teaching my ecclesiology class again next year so that I can make use of Cyril Hovorun's splendid new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1137545410/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1137545410&linkCode=as2&tag=eastern-20&linkId=JQLV4VRL4LYOY2DK" rel="nofollow"><i>Meta-Ecclesiology: Chronicles on Church Awareness</i> (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015), 242pp.</a> It is an excellent survey of ecclesiology from the New Testament through the Fathers and into the modern period, treating the Syriac, Byzantine, Latin, and Protestant traditions. A vast amount of material covering an enormous terrain is handled skillfully and lightly, making this an excellent introductory text for students. </span></span><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UdVSChTs5Js/VlMv0TWBRBI/AAAAAAAACkU/MwQRuOtu03I/s1600/CH.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UdVSChTs5Js/VlMv0TWBRBI/AAAAAAAACkU/MwQRuOtu03I/s400/CH.jpg" width="238" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I first met the author at the 2012 meeting of the American Academy of Religion in Chicago, where I was on a panel about the question of married priests in the Catholic Church. That evening I met up with the incomparable Peter Galadza who introduced me to Fr. Cyril and several of us had a fascinating conversation over drinks and then dinner that night about what Putin was up to in Russia and Ukraine, about relations between Orthodox in Ukraine, and Orthodox-Catholic relations--among other things. Fr. Cyril is a first-rate scholar with a fascinating history, and I asked him about that in the context of an interview about his latest book, which I warmly recommend. Here are his thoughts. </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>AD: Tell us about your background. </i></span></span><br /><br /><br />CH: I am an Orthodox priest from Ukraine. I am happy to having had many opportunities to study and work in different contexts, and to encounter many other religious traditions. I began my studies in nuclear physics and then shifted to theology. I did my undergraduate theological studies in Kyiv and Athens, then wrote my PhD thesis at Durham University under the supervision of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Andrew-Louth/e/B001ILHJJU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&qid=1448292497&sr=8-2-ent&tag=eastern-20&linkId=UDDSECQFIYMUFNWB" target="_blank">Andrew Louth</a>.<br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">While studying at Durham, I began working at the Department of external church relations of the Moscow Patriarchate. From 2007 to 2009 I chaired a similar department of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. After that, I moved back to Moscow, where my responsibility was to reform the system of theological education of the Russian Orthodox Church. At the same time, I never abandoned teaching and research. My initial field was patristics, and recently I moved to ecclesiology and public theology. I spent several years at Yale working on my ecclesiological project, which led to publishing this book. Now I teach at Sankt Ignatios Theological Academy in Sweden. I am often invited to lecture and present at other Universities in the US, Canada, and Europe. I do regular teaching tours to China. I have been heavily involved in various dialogues, including the one between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches.</span></span><br /><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"></i></p><p><i><i>AD:What led to this book </i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1137545410/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1137545410&linkCode=as2&tag=eastern-20&linkId=JQLV4VRL4LYOY2DK" rel="nofollow">Meta-Ecclesiology: Chronicles on Church Awareness</a>, <i>particularly its focus on the Church's self-awareness? </i></span></span></div><br /><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">For over 10 years I have been a part of the church bureaucratic machinery, and had plenty of opportunities to observe how the church functions on the level of its administrative apparatus and hierarchy, how its different structures and strata interrelate with each other, and how this affects the way in which the church becomes perceived on its different levels. I realized that the church is often understood in the way it is governed. In other words, church bureaucracy defines what the church is. This is certainly wrong, because the right way should be the other way around: the church should define what is its bureaucracy. </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">To sort out and critically assess my experiences in the church administration, I undertook an ecclesiological inquiry. An opportunity to do this was provided by Yale University, which invited me to its fellowship program. Through the systematic study of the ecclesiological doctrines, I realized that ecclesiology, as the self-awareness of the church, was never a constant. It changed all the time, under the influence of various circumstances, including political and social ones. In other words, the circumstances and structures of the church, including administrative ones, always defined what the church is. And the church, as the body of Christ and the vessel of the Holy Spirit, always resisted the reductionisms implied or incurred by its structures. It is a permanent dialectical struggle, and my personal experience of the church administration reflected this struggle at a tiny spot on the ecclesial timeline.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /><br />AD:You review(p. 10) a number of metaphors used to describe the Church and then note that the list is not closed.Which metaphors today seem especially popular or apt?</i></span></span></div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The metaphors of the body and of the ship are still most popular, I believe. They are good, but they continue serving the church divisions. Even the metaphor of the body, which is most often employed by<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">e</span></span>ucharistic ecclesiology, is reductionist, as <span style="font-family: inherit;">e</span>ucharistic ecclesiology is, even though they certainly try to broaden our perception of the church. I think the metaphor of the Kingdom of God is less reductionist than others, and this is the one which was favored most by the early Church.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i></i></p><p><i>AD: Your discussion of Photius (p.17) notes that since his time the East has been unable to agree on a definition of primacy--except that it doesn't want primacy as Rome exercises it. Are we not closer today to a consensus on this question? Has the international Orthodox-Catholic dialogue, from the Ravenna statement onwards, not helped the East come closer to consensus on primacy? </i></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">CH: To be honest, I do not see that now we are closer to the Orthodox consensus on primacy than in the times of Photios. The Orthodox-Catholic dialogue and the process of preparation to the Pan-Orthodox council made more obvious our disagreements and helped us to realize better their nature, but they did not bring us much closer to the solution of the issue of primacy. Nevertheless, even the fact that we are now more aware and better understand our disagreements, is positive. This awareness makes us less mislead and better equipped in solving the quest of primacy from the Orthodox perspective.</span></span></div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>AD:You note the possibility of looking at ecclesiology <span style="font-family: inherit;">from the <span style="font-family: inherit;">perspectives of phenomenology and analytic <span style="font-family: inherit;">philosophy. What do you see as the promises and prospects of such perspectives? Why would they be important to consider?</span></span></span></i></span></span><br /><br />Both analytic philosophy and phenomenology are the most advanced modern lines of thought that analyze how we perceive the world and ourselves. I believe that they are relevant to ecclesiology, which is also an epistemological discipline that deals with the ways of perception and self-perception of the Church. If we take classical theology, it has been articulated in the language borrowed from philosophy. In the same vein, when we speak today about new theological reflections on the Church, then modern epistemologies are very appropriate places where to go and borrow their ideas for new ecclesiological syntheses. Such syntheses are not just desirable, they are needed for the renewal of our perception of the Church, to make the church better understood by the people familiar with the modern intellectual culture, and finally to demonstrate that the Church is not an archeological artifact, but an alive reality capable of engaging with, and changing the modern world.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /><br />AD: Several times throughout the book you draw on Syriac sources and note that they differ from Latin and Byzantine sources. What, in your view, does the Syriac tradition give us that the Latin and Byzantine might <span lang="RU">not?</span></i></span></span><br /><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Syriac tradition is among the greatest in the Church of the first millennium. It was dynamic and open, and reached as far as India and China because of its extraordinary flexibility. Therefore, it would be an unforgivable omission to ignore it when describing ecclesiological doctrines of the past. Its characteristic feature was the language in which it expressed itself. It was the language of poetry and images. The Syrians were particularly fond of the metaphors, and not much fancy about sophisticated and abstract concepts. They could use Greek language, but still their theological language was Syriac, inasmuch as it employed images and metaphors.</span></span></div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br />AD: Your treatment of Photius notes his complaints about "ritual" questions--how Latin rituals differed from those of the East. Are these still important or valid complaints today? Or have most Christians generally decided that liturgical diversity is not a seriously Church-dividing issue? </i></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I argue that diversity of the Church practices, including liturgical ones, was a norm in the early Christianity. Photios witnessed a shift in the attitude to the diversity, when unity of the Church became understood as uniformity. Photios himself was a man of his time, and emphasized ritual differentiations as a Church dividing issue. I tried to demonstrate in the book that this was a weak point shared not just by Photios, but by many in his time, including his western counterparts. It does not fit the perennial idea of the Church and today, Photios's judgements regarding the role of rite in the Church should be taken with a grain of criticism.</span></span></div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br />AD: Your treatment of Vatican I (p.90) notes that nothing in its prior history--not Islam, nor the Reformation, nor the collapse of the Roman Empire--called forth such a radical ecclesial reaction in the Latin West as Vatican I did in confronting modernity. Tell us a bit more about this, for it seems to me a crucial point for "re-interpreting" the council--as Walter Kasper and others have argued. </i></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The western Church waged several ecclesiological wars in the past. I call these wars ecclesiological, because they were about redefining what the Church is. In what we now call "culture war", which is a polemic between conservatives and liberals, Vatican I clearly identified the Church with only one side and thus reduced what the Church really is. Instead of engaging with modernity, Vatican I led to building an alternative to it. This alternative, "a perfect Christian society", failed and was to a great extent deconstructed by Vatican II. With much regret I observe similar processes in some Orthodox Churches. They choose to be partisan in the culture wars of our time and instead of engaging in the meaningful dialogue with modernity try to reconstruct primordial models of relations with the society and the state. These models are destined to fail. The Church, however, will suffer and already suffers from their failure.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></div><div class="Body"><i><br />AD: This summer I published an article* on Joseph de Maistre's influence on ecclesiology. So I looked for him in your treatment of the First Vatican Council, especially the years leading up to it, but did not find a lot of engagement here with ultramontanist thought, including <a href="http://easternchristianbooks.blogspot.com/2012/06/joseph-de-maistre-then-and-now.html">Joseph de Maistre</a>.Why not? </i></div><br />Certainly, Joseph de Maistre was an important figure in the ultramontanist movement, which I explore a bit when I talk about the evolution of ecclesiology during the nineteenth century. He had close connections with the Russian court in the beginning of that century. However, his influence on theology per se was not as noticeable as the one of Johann Adam Möller, for instance. For this reason I pay more attention to Möller and his influence on the father of the Russian ecclesiology, Alexey Khomiakov, even though Khomiakov did not recognize such influence. I give more credit to de Maistre in my second book, where I demonstrate how his political ideas about sovereignty echoed in the renewed concept of Orthodox autocephaly in the same period. <i> </i><br /><br /><i>AD: Your appendix on the St. Irenaeus Working Group was fascinating. I suspect few people know much about them. Tell us a bit more about the group and your involvement with it. What are their hopes, and projects? </i><br /><br />We call it an unofficial Orthodox-Catholic dialogue. The group began its work in 2000, when the official dialogue was suspended after the unfortunate meeting in Baltimore. It consists of the theologians from both sides of the dialogue. However, unlike in the official dialogue, they are not appointed by Churches, but invited by their colleagues on the basis of their academic merits. The group therefore is meritocratic. I think this is a productive format, which allows to openly tackle difficult issues. In the official dialogue, such issues are discussed with the official positions of the Churches in mind, which often leads the discussions to deadlock. The group enjoys its academic freedom, which facilitates our search for the solution to the burning issues from the agenda of the official dialogue. <br /><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="Body"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i></i></p><p><i>AD: Having finished </i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1137545410/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1137545410&linkCode=as2&tag=eastern-20&linkId=JQLV4VRL4LYOY2DK" rel="nofollow">Meta-Ecclesiology: Chronicles on Church Awareness</a><span>, </span><i>what are you at work on now? What other projects are in the works? </i></span></span><br /><br />I am about to finish a second book, which continues the "Meta-ecclesiology." While the first book from my ecclesiological series deals with the epistemological aspect of the Church, in the second book, whose working title is "The Scaffolds of the Church", I take a structuralist approach. I analyze the evolution of the structures of the Church and argue that they don't belong to its nature. They are rather scaffolding that facilitate building and maintaining the edifice of the church. Like in my first book, I continue applying to the Church the traditional language of the Aristotelian/Porphyrian dialectics, and experiment with new philosophical languages, in this case the language of structuralism/post-structuralism.</div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>_________________</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>* "<span>Sovereignty, Politics, and the Church: Joseph de Ma<span>istre's Legacy for Catholic and Orthodox Ecclesiology," <i>Pro <span>E</span>cclesia </i>24 (Summer 2015): 366-389.</span></span> </span></span></span>

</p>
<div class="itemdescription">
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;"><a href="http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/2015/11/papal-fallibility.html">Dr. Edward Feser’s recent post on papal infallibility</a> will be required reading next time I take students through Book III of the Code, especially <a href="http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__P2H.HTM">Canons 749-750</a>. But in any post of 6,328 words dealing with papal infallibility (and, I might add, <em>only</em> with papal infallibility, that is, not with, say, collegial or ecclesial infallibility, but just <em>papal</em> infallibility), it should not be surprising if I find a few words with which to disagree. If Feser disagrees with Cdl. Dulles in regard to a technical point (as Feser does once, correctly in my view), then I may demur from Feser’s phrasing in one respect, too.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">Feser writes in regard to <a href="https://w2.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/apost_letters/1994/documents/hf_jp-ii_apl_19940522_ordinatio-sacerdotalis.html">John Paul II’s ap. lit. <em>Ordinatio sacerdotalis</em> (1994)</a> that “The reason [<em>Ordinatio</em>] is to be regarded as infallible is not that the papal document in question constituted an exercise of the extraordinary Magisterium, but rather because of the teaching’s status as part of the constant and universal doctrine of the Church.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">Hmmm. Of course documents aren’t infallible, acts are infallible (under certain circumstances, etc., etc.). But infallible acts can be, and usually are, performed <em>through</em> documents. <em>Ordinatio</em> is, I suggest, an example of extraordinary, papal infallibility being exercised <em>through</em> a document.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">St. John Paul II wrote in <em>Ordinatio:</em> “Wherefore, in order that all doubt may be removed regarding a matter of great importance, a matter which pertains to the Church’s divine constitution itself, in virtue of my ministry of confirming the brethren (cf. Lk 22:32) I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church’s faithful.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">Now, if that language—language acknowledging that the assertion in question is already knowable by the ordinary infallible magisterium but is still in evident need of authoritative reiteration, language that states the matter in question to be doctrinal (specifically, ecclesiological) in nature, language that quotes Vatican II’s explanation of papal infallibility (<a href="http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19641121_lumen-gentium_en.html"><em>Lumen gentium</em> 25</a>) and quotes the same foundational passage from Luke, language that asserts the ‘definitive’ (not prudential, not advisory) character of the assertion, and language that refers to the assertion as needing to be ‘held’ (as a secondary object of infallibility), not ‘believed” (as if it were a primary object),—if, I say, the language used by the pope in <em>Ordinatio</em> does <em>not</em> represent an infallible act papal magisterium, then one will never know what language <em>does</em> qualify as connoting such infallibility, not, that is, short of setting up ‘magic word’ criteria for infallibility precisely of the sort repeatedly rejected by all teachings on infallibility.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">Yes, I know that then-Cdl. Ratzinger said he did not regard <em>Ordinatio</em> as infallible and there is language from John Paul II suggesting the same thing. What can I say? <em>Ordinatio</em> is infallible, Ratzinger was not; John Paul’s infallible teaching authority was engaged when he issued <em>Ordinatio,</em> not when he briefly commented on it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">As this post is, as mentioned above, simply a demurral from—and not a refutation of—Feser’s brief comment on <em>Ordinatio,</em> and is made mostly to preserve the argument for another day, I’ll not defend my views further, except to quote from a respected scholar of infallibility, Rev. James O’Connor, who, in discussing <em>Ordinatio,</em> said this: “It is clear that here the pope meets all the requirements set forth by Vatican I and explained by Gasser for an infallible papal definition. … Some have thought that the papal teaching in <em>Ordinatio [s]acerdotalis</em> was not itself infallible, but a ‘witness’ to the infallible teaching of the ordinary, universal Magisterium. Such was the personal theological opinion of Cardinal Ratzinger … However, the teaching of<em> Ordinatio [s]acerdotalis</em> is probably best viewed in light of what has been said above.” J. O’Connor, <em>The Gift of Infallibility</em> (Ignatius, 2008) 115-116.</span></p>

<div class="itemdescription">
<p>St. Clement of Rome is celebrated on November 23 in the Roman calendar, on November 24 in Greek Orthodox and most Eastern Catholic calendars, and November 25 in the Russian Orthodox and Coptic calendars (although some of these celebrate according to the Julian rather than Gregorian calendar, which would put the day in December according to the Gregorian calendar). I had intended to put something up about him yesterday, but forgot; but since today is also the feast of Clement, as is tomorrow, I figure I have some leeway.<br /><br />In papal lists he is sometimes placed second after Peter, sometimes third after Linus, and sometimes fourth after Linus and Anacletus; according to Tertullian, at least, Peter consecrated all three men as bishops to care for the community or communities at Rome so that he could devote himself to preaching, and Clement was the one with the most responsibility while Peter was alive. In any case, the papal lists usually follow St. Irenaeus, and that list puts the order as Peter, Linus, Anacletus, Clement. From his letter to the Corinthians (<a href="http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/1clement-roberts.html">Chapter 38</a>):<br /><br /><blockquote>Let our whole body, then, be preserved in Christ Jesus; and let every one be subject to his neighbour, according to the special gift bestowed upon him. Let the strong not despise the weak, and let the weak show respect to the strong. Let the rich man provide for the wants of the poor; and let the poor man bless God, because He has given him one by whom his need may be supplied. Let the wise man display his wisdom, not by [mere] words, but through good deeds. Let the humble not bear testimony to himself, but leave witness to be borne to him by another. Let him that is pure in the flesh not grow proud of it, and boast, knowing that it was another who bestowed on him the gift of continence. Let us consider, then, brethren, of what matter we were made, -- who and what manner of beings we came into the world, as it were out of a sepulchre, and from utter darkness. He who made us and fashioned us, having prepared His bountiful gifts for us before we were born, introduced us into His world. Since, therefore, we receive all these things from Him, we ought for everything to give Him thanks; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. </blockquote><br />First Clement, as it is usually called, was one of the candidates for books to be part of the New Testament; this seems to have arisen because the Corinthians began to read it in their churches after having received it from Clement, and the practice spread to other churches influenced by the Corinthians. Evidence of its authenticity is quite good. The best estimates for the date it was written place it in the last decade of the first century, making it roughly contemporary with the book of Revelation.<br /><br />According to a (very late) legend he was martyred by being tied to an anchor and thrown into the sea, so the symbol associated with him is the anchored cross, also known as a St. Clement's Cross. He is sometimes identified with the Clement of Philippians 4:3, and very often with the Clement mentioned in the Shepherd of Hermas. He is also sometimes said to have been a freed slave. While the testimony that he was a contemporary of the apostles is universal, what we know about his life is practically nil, beyond what we can glean from his one surviving authentic text and his appearance on the succession lists for the episcopate of Rome.

<p>This ad from the Church of England got turned down by a chain of theaters in the UK. God no longer allowed in England, I guess. <br /><br />Sadly, the ad is actually pretty nice.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://cnsnews.com/blog/mark-judge/just-pray-advertisement-featuring-lords-prayer-rejected-british-cinemas">CNS News</a>:<blockquote>The Digital Cinema Media (DCM) agency, which handles British film advertising for the major movie chains, Odeon, Cineworld and Vue, refused to show the 60-second film because it believed it would risk upsetting or offending audiences. In a statement, DCM said it had a policy of not accepting political or religious advertising content. The statement said that "some advertisements - unintentionally or otherwise - could cause offence to those of differing political persuasions, as well as to those of differing faiths and indeed of no faith," and that "in this regard, DCM treats all political or religious beliefs equally".<br /><br />On Sunday, Church of England Archbishop Welby offered a statement to the Daily Mail: ‘I find it extraordinary that cinemas rule that it is inappropriate for an advert on prayer to be shown in the week before Christmas when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Billions of people across the world pray this prayer on a daily basis. I think they would be astonished and deeply saddened by this decision, especially in the light of the terrorist attack in Paris where many people have found comfort and solace in prayer. This advert is about as ‘offensive’ as a carol service or church service on Christmas Day.”</blockquote><br /><br /><br /> <div style="height: 0px; width: 0px;">*subhead*No God Allowed.*subhead*</div>

Will the distressing news of the sacrilege perpetrated in Pamplona, Spain provoke any kind of concrete response? Spanish “artist” Abel Azcona stole more than 240 consecrated Hosts by pretending to receive Holy Communion at Mass. He then placed the hosts on the ground to form the word “pederasty” in Spanish. The sacrilege is being prolonged by a display of photographs in a public art gallery in Pamplona, sponsored by the city’s Department for Culture.</p>
<blockquote><p>Could not as many Holy Masses of Reparation be offered in Pamplona (and indeed in all of Spain and Europe) as there were Sacred Hosts desecrated?</p>
<p>Could not there as many public Hours of Adoration and Reparation be made as there were Sacred Hosts desecrated?</p>
<p>Could not there not be a Eucharistic procession of reparation through the city of Pamplona?</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Proposal for the Year of Mercy</strong><br />
Even if these things were done, it remains that other questions need to be addressed. A priest friend said to me this morning that bishops the world over need to consider a moratorium on Holy Communion in the hand. Perhaps for the <em>Year of Mercy</em>? Are we to show no mercy to the One who is present among us under the appearances of a thing so fragile as the Host? Do we not recognize in the Sacred Host God become, for love of us, vulnerable, poor, silent, and defenseless? Do we not see that the Sacred Host is the ultimate expression of what Saint Paul (see Philippians 2:7) calls the <em>kenosis</em> of the Son of God, that is His utter self–emptying?</p>
<p><strong>More than a Mere Oversight?</strong><br />
The Instruction <em>Redemptionis Sacramentum</em> promulgated eleven years ago by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments 25 March 2004, seems, in most places, to have had little or no effect. One wonders if the clergy were at all given the opportunity to come together to study the document and, with one mind, plan its implementation. Among other things, in article 92,the Instruction says clearly:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“If there is a risk of profanation, then Holy Communion should not be given in the hand to the faithful”.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Many times I have had Sacred Hosts, sometimes bearing the imprint of shoes after having been trampled, brought to me by aggrieved layfolk who picked them up from the floor of churches. I think it only reasonable to conclude that there is, in fact, widespread risk of profanation. Consequently, article 92 of <em>Redemptionis Sacramentum</em> needs to be invoked and implemented. Not to do so would be, I think, more than a mere oversight.</p>
<p><strong>Sins Against the Body</strong><br />
What has so inured the clergy and laity to the extreme abasement of Jesus Christ in the Sacred Host that sacrileges and profanations meet with no more than a passing measured expression of regret? Have we no  mercy for the defenceless Christ? No tears for God? No voice to cry aloud when the Body of God is defiled?  One forgets, I think, that the culture of death denounced by Saint John Paul II is, in fact, an attack on the human body. Every attack on the human body and every profanation of the human body is, in the final analysis, an attack on the Body of Christ. Conversely, every attack on the Eucharistic Body of Christ and every profanation of that Sacred Body attacks and profanes the human body. “Amen, I say to you, as long as you did it to the body of one of these my least brethren, you did it to my Body; and as long as you did it to my Body, you did it to the body of one of these my least brethren” (cf. Matthew 25:39).</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Ave verum Corpus natum</em><br />
<em> De Maria Virgine:</em><br />
<em> Vere passum, immolatum</em><br />
<em> In cruce pro homine:</em><br />
<em> Cuius latus perforatum</em><br />
<em> Fluxit aqua et sanguine:</em><br />
<em> Esto nobis praegustatum</em><br />
<em> Mortis in examine.</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Hail, true Body, truly born<br />
Of the Virgin Mary mild<br />
Truly offered, wracked and torn,<br />
On the Cross for all defiled,<br />
From Whose love pierced, sacred side<br />
Flowed Thy true Blood’s saving tide:<br />
Be a foretaste sweet to me<br />
In my death’s great agony.</p></blockquote>
<p>A society that admits the practice of abortion — dismembering the body of a child — will, ineluctably, feel indifferent towards sins against the Eucharistic Body of Christ, the <em>hóstia pura, hóstia sancta hóstia immaculáta – </em>the pure Victim, the holy Victim, the spotless Victim. By the same token, irreverence towards the Eucharistic Body of Christ opens the door to every manner of sin against the human body: abortion, pornography, sexual perversion, and every manner of violence and abuse. Everything that affects the body has repercussions upon The Body; and everything that affects The Body has repercussions upon the body.</p>
<p><em><strong>Il pesce puzza dal capo</strong><br />
</em>“The stench of putrefaction”, says the old Italian proverb, “begins from the head of the fish”. I would argue that every loss of reverence at the altar leads to a loss of reverence in the sanctuary; that every loss of reverence in the sanctuary leads to a loss of reverence in the body of the church; that every loss of reverence in the body of the church leads to a loss of reverence in the marketplace, schools, hospitals, and theatres; that every loss of reverence in the marketplace, schools, hospitals, and theatres leads to a loss of reverence in the home; and that every loss of reverence in the home leads to a loss of reverence in the marriage bed.</p>
<p><strong>Foremost and Indispensable</strong><br />
It becomes to me increasingly clear why Pope Saint Pius X envisaged that the restoration of all things to Christ had to begin with the sacred liturgy.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Arial; font-size: medium;">Filled as We are with a most ardent desire to see the true Christian spirit flourish in every respect and be preserved by all the faithful, We deem it necessary to provide before anything else for the sanctity and dignity of the temple, in which the faithful assemble for no other object than that of acquiring this spirit from its foremost and indispensable font, which is the active participation in the most holy mysteries and in the public and solemn prayer of the Church. (<i>Tra le Sollecitudini</i>, <em>Motu Proprio</em> promulgated on November 22, 1903)</span></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Priests: Guardians of the True Body of Christ</strong><br />
The lack of a reaction to sins perpetrated against the Body of Christ comes, I fear, first of all, from a clergy that, for fear of accusations of clericalism, has become, in some very crucial matters, disempowered and ineffectual. Saint Thomas’s clear teaching on the duty of the priest to care, first of all, for the “true Body of Christ”, needs to be reiterated and affirmed:</p>
<blockquote><p>A priest exercises a twofold action: the one, which is principal, over the true body of Christ; the other, which is secondary, over the mystical body of Christ. The second act depends on the first, but not conversely. (Suppl. q. 36, a.1)</p></blockquote>
<p>The hour has come for priests to reclaim their rightful guardianship over the that most fragile, vulnerable, and silent of mysteries, the true and adorable Body of Christ. On this one thing depends the exercise of every priest’s ministry to the members of the Mystical Body. Nothing done at the altar or from the altar is without significance. It time to critically re-evaluate those liturgical practices and malpractices that leave the Body of Christ exposed to profanation and that have opened the door to sacrileges like the one so recently in the news.</p>

Catholics naturally look to the leadership of the Church for guidance on the nature of Islam, its relation to the ideology of ISIS, and the approach that Catholics should take to the threat of ISIS terrorism and to Islam itself. Unfortunately, the episcopal leadership of the Church has not provided such guidance. If anything it has done the opposite, in Europe and North America at least; it has misled the faithful on the nature of Islam and the relationship between terrorist extremism and the main tenets of the Muslim religion. A good example of this deception can be found in a pamphlet recently issued by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, entitled <b>'<a href="http://www.cccb.ca/site/images/stories/pdf/CCCB_Muslim_EN_web.pdf">Catholics and Muslims in Canada: Believers and Citizens in Society</a>'</b>. It is worth examining this pamphlet in some detail, to better understand both the character of this deception and the real content and implications of Muslim belief. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><a name="more"></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The stated purpose of this pamphlet is to 'help Canadian Catholics better understand their Muslim neighbours'. It is signed by Archbishop Paul-André Durocher, the Archbishop of Gatineau in Quebec, in his capacity as president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. Its contents give Catholics a false conception of the nature and teachings of Islam. This is done more by omitting facts than by making false statements about Muslim belief, although such falsehoods are to be found in the pamphlet. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The principal omissions are the following.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>1. Attitude of Islam to Christianity.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The pamphlet acknowledges that the Koran specifically condemns the central Christian doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation, and that it denies that Christ died on the cross: </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #990000;">'Oh People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion, nor say of God anything but the truth. Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, was (no more than) a messenger of God, and His Word which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him. So believe in God and His messengers. Say not, 'Trinity.' Desist! It will be better for you, for God is One God, Glory be to Him! (Far exalted is He) above having a son.' (Sura 4:171). 'Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him.' (Sura 5:75). 'They did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so' (Sura 4.157). </span></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>However, the pamphlet does not acknowledge that Islam is the only major religion that was founded with the specific purpose of destroying and replacing Christianity, and that these denials of Christian teaching are intended to further this purpose; they are not simply expressions of theological disagreement. No other major religion contains specific denunciations of the basic Christian doctrines in its sacred texts. Mohammed is presented by Islam as having written to the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius demanding that he embrace Islam and abandon the worship of Christ. Both the Old and New Testaments are asserted by Islam to have been falsified by Jews and Christians, and to have originally supported the teachings and prophetic office of Mohammed. The reading of the Bible was accordingly forbidden by Mohammed, to prevent its undermining Muslim belief. Christ is alleged by Muslims to have been a prophet in the succession of prophets leading up to Mohammed, whose message is subordinate to and in the service of Mohammed's own prophecies. Being a true follower of Christ, on the Muslim view, thus consists in adhering to Islam and rejecting Christian teachings and practice. This anti-Christian mission has always been central to Islam, and has been pursued in every stage of Muslim history.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><b>2. Nature and implications of sharia law.</b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the most important differences between Islam and Christianity is that Islam claims to possess a divinely revealed code of civil law, referred to as sharia law. This code of law is based on the Koran and the Hadiths, which are collections of traditions relating to the life, teachings and example of Mohammed. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>There is a divinely revealed code of civil law in the Old Testament, but it applies only to the Jewish people, not to the human race as a whole. Rabbi Samuel, an early Talmudic authority, qualified the claims of the Old Law in an important respect by ruling that ‘the law of the kingdom is law’; this principle was followed by all subsequent Orthodox Jews, and was understood to mean that the legislation of non-Jewish states was authoritative unless it explicitly contradicted a tenet of the Old Law. The Mosaic law is not binding on Christians, who do not believe in a currently existing, divinely revealed civil law. The Catholic Church teaches that civil law is to respect divine revelation, but is itself to be based on the natural law; in practice most Catholic states simply adopted and extended Roman law, a legal system of pagan origin, for civil purposes. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Sharia law as traditionally understood by Muslims differs from the Jewish and Christian conceptions of civil law. It is not based on human reason, but is claimed to be entirely composed of divine revelation. It does not apply only to Muslims, but is held to be God's command to the entire human race. It is understood to be a complete legal system that admits of no competitors or supplements; there is no idea that ‘the law of the kingdom is law’. It can be extended to new situations by the interpretations of jurists, but this extension is supposed to be a discernment of what is already present in it, not an addition of rules that it did not previously contain. There are different traditional schools of interpretation of sharia law, but these schools do not differ radically from each other, and agree on the teachings described here. They all hold that since God's commands ought to be obeyed, it is an obligation for Muslims to bring it about that sharia law is imposed on the entire human race. This obligation is the basis for jihad, the Muslim holy war, whose aim is to subject non-Muslims to Muslim rule and Muslim law. Muslims are required by their religion to carry on this war if it has a chance of success. Sharia law states that non-Muslims who worship idols are to be given a choice between conversion to Islam and death. Christians are included in the 'peoples of the book' – followers of monotheistic religions older than Islam – and as such are permitted to retain their religion. They are however given an inferior status in sharia law, that of the 'dhimmi'; they are required to pay a special tax, and are subjected to severe discrimination that is designed to induce them to convert to Islam. Such conversion cannot be reversed, since leaving Islam is punishable by death in sharia law.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>To some extent the question of terrorism is a side issue when it comes to the establishment of sharia law. The centrality of terrorism as a tool for Islamic extremists simply reflects the fact that they do not control a large and powerful empire, as was the case in previous centuries. Because of this fact, they have to resort to terror as a means of armed attack. Under the early Caliphs and the Ottoman Empire, the expansion of Islam was pursued by regular, well-organised military campaigns. These involved the use of terror at times – as is often the case in all military conflicts – but military victory by regular armies was historically the main tool of expansion of sharia law. This form of conflict was not less destructive and horrible than terrorist campaigns; in fact, it was far worse. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The changes in the political situation of Islam over the centuries have nonetheless had an influence on the religion that is worth examining. From the early period after the death of Mohammed until the fall of the Ottoman Empire after its defeat in the First World War, Islam was shaped and constrained by the demands of empire. Religious positions that impeded the operation of an imperial state could not be accepted, and this sometimes discouraged the more violent and fanatical manifestations of Islam. Under the Ottomans, who depended to a considerable extent on Jews and Christians to perform essential functions in governing their empire, Muslim religious intolerance was of necessity considerably modified. The Ottoman empire was succeeded by a secularist regime in Turkey, and by states created by the British and the French in the Middle East. These colonialist powers imposed various forms of cultural imperialism on their client states, such as the abolition of slavery in Iraq in the 1920s, and their dominance did not favour political Islam. British and French power in the Middle East was broken by American opposition during the Suez crisis, and the states of Iraq, Syria, and Libya have been destroyed directly or indirectly by American and European military action. This has largely destroyed the structure of the post-Ottoman states, many of whom were secularist. The remaining powers in the Middle East are Iran on the one hand, and the Saudis and the Gulf States on the other. Both these power groups are committed to militant forms of Islam that exemplify the worst traits of that religious tradition. Their economic position depends on oil wealth, and does not impose any constraints on their religious extremism. The House of Saud has enjoyed a close alliance with the Americans since the time of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the Saudis have bribed official Washington from top to bottom. As a result they have been able to promote their Wahhabist ideology with impunity. The character of this ideology needs to be described.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>3. The innovation of modern Islam.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Everything said above about Islam applies to the traditional forms taken by that religion in the first millennium and a half of its existence. The forms of Islam espoused by contemporary Muslim radicals depart from traditional Islam in important ways. This contemporary Islam stems from the ideas of the 18th century Saudi religious leader Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhab, who sought to return to what he considered the original purity of Islam. He rejected the philosophical and rational components of traditional Islam, and held that Christians and Jews are idolaters who should be killed if they do not convert to Islam. Al-Wahhab allied himself with the House of Saud, and a relation of mutual support has existed between Wahhabi Islam and the House of Saud ever since. Wahhabi Islam is the official religion of Saudi Arabia, and the Saudis have poured money into spreading Wahhabism all over the world. The basic idea of Wahhabism is also termed Salafism; it is the idea of a return to the original purity of Islam as practiced by Mohammed and described in the Koran and the hadiths. This is precisely the religious belief of ISIS, which is a Salafist offshoot, and which does not differ much from these other Islamic movements in its religious conceptions. The well-funded Saudi-supported Muslim institutions that are spread all over Africa are devoted to the Wahhabi version of Islam (some details are provided <b><a href="https://freedomhouse.org/sites/default/files/inline_images/Saudi%20Publications%20on%20Hate%20Ideology%20Invade%20American%20Mosques.pdf">here</a></b>). Saudi support is making Wahhabism the most active and powerful form of Islam in the world. It is an even worse threat to Christians than the traditional forms of Islam, and is destroying the Christian communities that managed to survive for centuries in the Middle East under Islamic rule.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Omission of the above facts about Islam gives Catholic an incorrect and dangerous conception of the nature of Muslim religion. This is aggravated by the document’s claim that Muslims highly esteem an upright life. Of course, Muslims highly esteem a life of the kind the Islam proclaims to be upright. But it is clear that the Islamic conception of an upright life is incompatible with the Christian concept, and with the natural law. Sharia law requires some evil actions such as the forcible imposition of Islam, the execution of converts from Islam to Christianity, and the discrimination against non-Muslims noted above. It permits or encourages other kinds of evil behaviour, such as divorce at the will of the husband. The example of Mohammed is particularly significant here. It is a central Islamic teaching that Mohammed was sinless, and hence that all his actions were perfect and serve as models for the behaviour of Muslims. But Mohammed's actions, as portrayed in the Koran and in universally accepted hadiths, include robbing caravans, consummating his marriage to his youngest wife Aisha when she was nine years old, and massacring all the men of the Jewish tribe of the Banu Qurayza and taking the women and children as slaves. The worst crimes of contemporary Islamic terrorist organisations are presented by them as being legitimated by the example of Mohammed, and this argument is plausible if the sinlessness of Mohammed is accepted. (In fairness to Muslims, however, it should be noted that when the CCCB document says that both Muslims and Catholics ‘pray, give alms and fast’, this description applies far more to Muslims that to Christians at the present time.)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This exposure of the deceptions of the CCCB document enables us to identify the main features of Islam that are a deadly threat to Catholics. They are the ambition to destroy and replace Christianity, the understanding of sharia law as divinely revealed, and the belief that Mohammed was sinless and a perfect exemplar of Muslim behaviour. These are all central to the traditional conception of Islam and well supported by Islamic sacred documents. Permanent coexistence with Muslims who reject these features is possible, but it must be acknowledged that there is no large, organised religious body that adheres to a form of Islam that denies these teachings. There is no logical impossibility in developing such a form of Islam, but it may be questioned if it is a practical possibility; these teachings are so central to Islam that if they are removed from it, constructing a coherent religious position would be difficult. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Having examined the real character of Islam, we can give a correct answer to the question of how Canadian and other Catholics should understand and relate to their Muslim neighbours. The only way in which Catholics can promote the ‘harmonious relationship’ with Muslims that Archbishop Durocher calls for is by convincing them that the dangerous features of Islam mentioned above are not in fact true and should not be acted upon. It should be kept in mind that a large proportion of Muslims do not in fact believe them, and adhere to their religion out of loyalty to their traditions and past and a general sort of belief in God and the moral law; this provides a starting point for persuasion. The active minority who both believe and attempt to implement these dangerous features cannot however be ignored or neglected by Catholics, for obvious reasons. If anything, they are the main group that needs to be convinced. The unique nature of the relation between Islam and Christianity means that for Catholics, making the case against the dangerous features of Islam cannot be separated from making the case for Christianity. Since the Koran contains specific denials of basic Christian teachings, logic entails that either Christian teaching is true and Islamic teaching is false, Islamic teaching is true and Christian teaching is false, or both Christian and Islamic teaching are false. Catholics cannot accept the second and third of these alternatives, so they can only argue that these denials are wrong because the Christian doctrines they attack are true.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This conclusion does not answer all the questions raised by the CCCB document. How is it that this document can offer a careful falsification of the nature of Islam, a falsification that seems to have been designed to leave Catholics in ignorance of the threat that traditional Islam poses, and in consequence to disarm them in the face of that threat?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The answer to this question lies in the outlook held by Archbishop Durocher. When he was speaking at a press conference at the recent session of the Synod on the Family, he was asked if the question of giving communion to divorced and civilly remarried Catholics concerned doctrine or discipline. He replied ‘If you want doctrine, go read Denzinger’.<b>(1)</b> Such a remark could only be made by someone who holds the content of Catholic doctrine, and the very notion of Catholic doctrine itself, in contempt. This neomodernist outlook <b>(2)</b> on the Catholic faith is not restricted to Archbishop Durocher; it is the dominant culture within the leadership of the Catholic Church in Canada, and is the basis of the interfaith and ecumenical activities of the CCCB. For example, Fr. Damian Macpherson S.A., a member of the National Christian Muslim Liaison Committee of the CCCB, has stated that ‘The Roman Catholic Church does not proselytize, that is, actively seek the conversion of others. The Catholic Church, on the other hand, is committed to active evangelization and those who respond are welcomed as members of the Catholic Church’. <b>(3)</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When ecclesiastical functionaries with this outlook consider Islam, there are two consequences. One is mirror imaging; because they do not take the doctrine of their own Church seriously, they cannot grasp that Muslims take their own religion seriously and literally, and consider themselves to be subject to its teaching. In presenting Muslim doctrine they change its content into what they consider to be an acceptable form, just as they change Catholic doctrine for the same purpose in their own religious views. The second is sympathy and attraction to Islam on account of its opposition to basic Christian doctrine. Not all of the Christian doctrines rejected by Islam are necessarily rejected by neomodernists, but the essential Muslim stance on Christian teaching – that the doctrines of the Christian faith do not have divine authority and do not need to be accepted on account of this authority – is the fundamental principle of neomodernism. The neomodernist hatred of the doctrines they reject is also stronger than their adherence to the doctrines they find acceptable for their own reasons. The Muslim position on Christian doctrine is thus a sympathetic one to neomodernists, and it predisposes them in favour of that religion.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At the Synod on the Family Cardinal Robert Sarah remarked that ‘A theological discernment enables us to see in our time two unexpected threats (almost like two “apocalyptic beasts”) located on opposite poles: on the one hand, the idolatry of Western freedom; on the other, Islamic fundamentalism’. He observed that it is possible to discern that these two threats have the same demonic origin. The neomodernist establishment in the Catholic Church is a third such beast. Its cooperation with the idolatry of Western freedom was evident at the Synod on the Family; Archbishop Durocher himself was actively involved in this cooperation at the Synod. Its cooperation with Islamic extremism is manifested in the CCCB document and in many other statements by influential priests and bishops about Islam made in reaction to the recent attacks in Paris. As has been shown, the CCCB document carefully conceals those aspects of Islam that pose a real danger to Catholics. This deception betrays those very numerous Christians who are now suffering and dying at the hands of Islamic persecutors, and it facilitates the further persecution of Christians by concealing the nature of the threat that they face. In doing this, neomodernism lets its mask slip for anyone with knowledge of Islam, and shows its malice and its origin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">(1) LifeSite News: <b><a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/at-tuesdays-synod-briefing-catholic-doctrine-was-apparently-an-open-questio">Synod Day 2: Doctrine apparently ‘open question’, call for ‘end to exclusionary language’ for ‘gays’</a></b>; ‘Denzinger’ is a standard reference work containing formal Church teachings.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">(2) For an account of neomodernism see here: "<b><a href="http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-christmastide-gift-for-our-readers.html">A Christmastide Gift for our Readers: Attacks on Thomism: a special historical and theological essay</a>"</b> - <i>a special essay for Rorate Caeli by John Lamont.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">(3) "<b><a href="http://canadianchristianity.com/state/interviews/macpherson.html">Email interview with Damian Macpherson, director for interfaith affairs, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto</a>"</b>: spelling and grammar have been corrected.

It is Traddy Tuesday,the day I rekindle the flame in the hearts of would-be converts to Catholicism who have been <strike>misled</strike> entranced by Catholic books written before 1960, only to be shocked by their local RCIA class/parish liturgy/obscenity-dropping parish priest. Oh dear, I see your astonished faces in my mind's eye: "B-b-b-b-but Chesterton!" Yeah, I know.<br /><br />But despair not! There a gazillion Roman Catholics who believe as (and what) Chesterton did and thousands who do their best to worship as he did, too. Our world is considerably worse than his was, so we are much crankier than he, however. Sorry about that. I apologize on behalf of the old lady who turned around at the Extraordinary Form of Mass and snarled at your friend's noisy baby. In her defense, she either traveled two hours to get to this Mass or she sold her house to live within walking distance. Try to forgive her--and offer to take the baby out.<br /><br />So today's theme is ADVENT and the challenge of keeping it a penitential season when most of the English-speaking world thinks that Christmas begins the day after American Thanksgiving (at latest) and ends at midnight on Christmas Day. If I still have any Eastern Orthodox readers or Byzantine Catholic readers, please reveal in the combox how you manage to keep your fasts when all around you are having Christmas parties.<br /><br />My dear friend Calvinist Cath does not believe in Christmas <i>at all</i>, so avoiding the December-long celebration of Christmas is a challenge for her too. Amusingly, the challenges of not observing Christmas before Christmas could unite the Orthodox, the Greek Catholics, the Latin Catholics and, amazingly, the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland.* (This last avoids it completely , of course, but never mind that for now.) <br /><br />I read somewhere that one of the reasons why the Latin Church doesn't fast like the Greek Church or the Eastern Orthodox Churches is the large number of important feast days during Advent. Just now I looked them up on the trad calendar on the front hall (from the <a href="http://www.papastronsay.com/bookshop/">monastery of Papa Stronsay</a>), and the only one that leapt to the eye is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8), for both the Feast of Saint Nicholas (December 6) and the Feast of Saint Lucy (December 13) fall on Sundays this year. That said, for Latins Sunday is always a Feast Day, and never a Fast Day, except for the Eucharistic fast, of course.<br /><br />Feasting and fasting are hallmarks of traditional Catholicism, and B.A. and I can't have a dinner party with Catholics without B.A. leaping up to see whose feast day it is. He flips the pages in his missal looking for the right Collect (prayer of the day) while the soup gets cold. Drives me nuts. However, B.A. has the right attitude, and the solution is for me to mark the place beforehand. My church friends take feasting very seriously and are wont to chide those who refuse to partake of wine on Sundays, which I think is taking feasting a bit too far.<br /><br />Rather less fun is fasting, although fasting is the good servant of feasting. As two nice Byzantine Catholic girls explained to B.A. and me recently, if you don't fast, you can't really feast. And it is certainly true that food, wine and coffee all taste amazingly better if you have done without them for a bit.<br /><br />However, we are Christians, not Epicureans, so fasting is also supposed to make us feel physically uncomfortable, a discomfort we willingly embrace so as to do penance for our sins and the sins of others. Meanwhile we have to look cheerful when we do it, and not tell others we are fasting so that they will think well of us (Matt 5: 16-18). It's supposed to be between us and God, which I remember when Toronto Greeks get too noisy about how much better they keep Lent than us rotten Roman Catholics. (Admittedly, they do.) However, I suppose "I'm sorry, it's against my religion" is okay when well-meaning people tempt us into Advent gluttony. It has the added bonus of making us socially uncomfortable, too--yay!<br /><br />Occasionally I get emails from women from traditional Catholic backgrounds who have developed eating disorders from fasting. It is dreadful when this happens, and it really shouldn't. A good spiritual director will not let this happen, and in the absence of a good spiritual director, the fasting Catholic should just use her head. If you don't eat at all on Friday, you had better have a good nutritious breakfast on Saturday. If you fast on Wednesdays, don't fast on Thursdays. Meanwhile, contemporary eating is such that if you merely eschew anything made with refined sugar, that's a painstaking fast. Especially if you try to eschew refined sugar in Advent, aka secular Christmas.<br /><br />I'm kidding about having a gloomy Advent. However, the fact is the Advent is a penitential season, traditionally involving fasts, abstinence, prayers, special masses and almsgiving. But, also traditionally, there are Feast Days to break it up a bit, like St. Nicholas' Day, and every Sunday.<br /><br />One of the tricky things about re-establishing traditional fasting and abstinence procedures in a Roman Catholic household is that all the other healthy adults have to agree to it. If the Church doesn't impose fasting-and-abstinence, who is the lady of the house to do it, eh? (My mother didn't bring back Friday abstinence until John Paul II said he thought it a good idea. "Right," said Mum and fed us the orange sawdust fish triangles of doom ever after.) So I have consulted with my Liege Lord (i.e. B.A.) and we have come up with our own private Advent plans.<br /><br />Because, really, it's not cricket to embrace all the fun things about traditional Catholicism without cheerfully taking on its disciplines, too. One helpful community penance would be to help dust and clean the church, any fellow Edinburgh traddies who are reading this (Saturday 2-4).<br /><br />But to end on a celebratory note, we rejoice in the establishment of the Fraternity of the Priests of Saint Peter's first proper parish church in the United Kingdom. (The rest of us piggyback, like the Maronites who shared my childhood church.) The archdiocese of Liverpool gave the FSSP a BEAUTIFUL church first owned by the Benedictines, and you can see photographs of the inaugural Mass <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24855617@N05/sets/72157661499128886/">here.</a> Naturally we EF-loving Catholics are still praying for a church of our very own. I like the pretty wooden one we <strike>steal</strike> <strike>borrow</strike> share, but the choir wants one with better acoustics.<br /><br />*Leaving aside the age-old Dec 25/Jan 6 issue, naturally.<br /><br /><b>Update:</b> Note the complete lack of women in the sanctuary, o-the-humanity #weeping #wailing. There's some in the choir. Presumably they made up at least a third of the congregation.

He also outlines some of the chief concerns arising from the final report of the synod. The address was given in Limerick, Ireland on 21 November 2015.</p>
<p><strong>Introduction to Synod</strong></p>
<p>I’m here today representing Voice of the Family, a coalition of 26 pro-life and pro-family organisations, managed by the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children. Voice of the Family was established by SPUC in August 2014 because of our growing concerns ahead of the Extraordinary Synod on the Family that met in Rome in October last year. The lead-up to the synod had been dominated by the proposal, made most prominently by Walter Cardinal Kasper, that divorced and civilly remarried Catholics should be admitted to Holy Communion without amendment of life.</p>
<p>A Voice of the Family team was present in Rome throughout both the Extraordinary Synod in October 2014 and the Ordinary Synod in October 2015. During that time we sought to assist synod fathers in their defence of Catholic teaching on the family and to assist the wider public to understand what was taking place by offering accurate reporting and in-depth analysis.</p>
<p>The two synods were called to address the challenges facing the family in the modern world and the mission of the family in modern world.</p>
<p>Unfortunately both synods were in fact dominated by attempts to undermine or alter the teaching and discipline of the Church on a wide range of issues relating to marriage, the family and human sexuality. Both assemblies witnessed division between synod fathers who wished to uphold Catholic teaching and those who wished to undermine or alter it.</p>
<p>Despite the efforts of some synod fathers to raise the real challenges facing the family, very little attention was paid to these threats in the official documents of either synod.</p>
<p>Issues which were either entirely neglected or paid insufficient attention include: abortion, IVF, embryo experimentation, euthanasia, assisted suicide, anti-life anti-family sex education, attacks on parental rights and the increasing threat to the civil freedom of citizens of many western nations who wish to live lives faithful to the Catholic faith and the natural law.</p>
<p>As indicated earlier, much discussion in the media and among concerned Catholics has centred around the question of the reception of Holy Communion by the “divorced and civilly remarried”. However, this was not the only issue which the so-called “progressive” synod fathers were determined to pursue.</p>
<p>The discussions at the Ordinary Synod this October were conducted according to the content of the <em>Instrumentum Laboris</em>, the working document for the Synod. Voice of the Family produced a detailed analysis of this document and concluded that it posed a serious threat to the integrity of Catholic doctrine.</p>
<p>We argued in our analysis of the document, which can be found on our website, that the key to understanding the <em>Instrumentum Laboris, </em>and by extension to the wider debates at the Synod, could be found in the following statement, that the principle “describing the synodal experience and indicating the task at hand” is “to read both the signs of God and human history, in a twofold yet unique faithfulness which this reading involves”.</p>
<p>This statement proclaims that the task of the synod is to be faithful to two different sources of authority, on the one hand “the signs of God” and on the other hand the signs of “human history”. It therefore sets up human history, the changes of human society over time, as an <em>object of fidelity</em> which must be obeyed alongside the fidelity due to God.</p>
<p>It is in accordance with this principle that we would argue that the<em> Instrumentum Laboris, </em>and many of the synod fathers, strove to bring the Church into conformity with the modern world.</p>
<p>If man must be faithful both to the “signs of God and “human history” it follows that whenever there is a clash between their mutual demands a compromise must be found. When this approach is adopted, the natural moral law is no longer regarded as immutable but rather as subject to change over the course of time.</p>
<p>The consequence of this is that the <em>Instrumentum Laboris, </em>which was the basis of the Ordinary Synod’s work, threatened the entire structure of Catholic teaching on marriage, the family and human sexuality.</p>
<p>It did this:</p>
<ul>
<li>by undermining the doctrine of <em>Humanae Vitae </em>by proposing a false understanding of the relationship between conscience and the moral law (paragraph 137)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>by discussing artificial methods of reproduction without giving any judgment on the morality of such methods or making any reference to the enormous loss of human life that they entail (paragraph 34)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>by preparing the way for the admission of the “divorced and remarried” to Holy Communion without amendment of life (paragraphs 120-125)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>by reducing the indissolubility of marriage to the level of an “ideal” (paragraph 42)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>by suggesting that cohabitation has “positive aspects” and can, to some extent, be considered a legitimate form of union (paragraphs 57, 61, 63, 99, 102)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>by preparing the ground for the acceptance of same-sex unions by acknowledging the need to define “the specific character of such unions in society” (paragraph 8)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>by adopting modern secular notions of “gender equality” and acquiescing in the need for “a rethinking of the duties of the spouses” thus contributing to the dissolution of traditional family structures (paragraph 30)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>and, finally, by denying the full rights of parents as the primary educators of their children (paragraph 86).</li>
</ul>
<p>This document was, as I have said, the basis for discussion at the Ordinary Synod. And it was precisely this approach that was evident as a significant number of cardinals and bishops worked strenuously towards the goal of bringing Catholic teaching into conformity with the principles prevalent in the modern secular west. There was however strong resistance offered by other synod fathers, especially those from Africa and Eastern Europe, who were determined to defend the unchanging teachings of the Church.</p>
<p>The heterodox party were therefore forced to adopt a variety strategies directed towards changing church teaching while giving the impression that doctrine would remain untouched. I would like to discuss three of the most important and dangerous of these strategies beginning with the emphasis on the need to alter the language that the Church uses to express her teachings.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong> Changing the language</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>This argument was based on the assertion that the language that is currently used by the Church is no longer understood by the majority of people, either because it is too technical, or because it sounds “too judgemental”. It must therefore be replaced with a language that is “relevant”, “pastoral” and, above all “merciful.”</p>
<p>A prominent voice throughout the synod for those advocating a radical change in the church’s language was Fr Thomas Rosica, the English-speaking press spokesman for the Holy See.</p>
<p>On the first day of the synod, during a press briefing, Fr Rosica made the following passionate call:</p>
<p>“There must be an end to exclusionary language”, he said. “The Jubilee of Mercy also requires a new form of language, both public and private. [It] requires a language of mercy. … The language of inclusion must be our language, always considering pastoral and canonical possibilities and solutions.”</p>
<p>Obviously there is a great deal that could be said about this passage, not least as regards the use of ideological language such “exclusion” and “inclusion” but I want to concentrate on the claim that the Church requires “a new form of language.”</p>
<p>In particular I want to draw attention to two examples of terms that prominent synod fathers felt should no longer be used by the Church. These are “intrinsically disordered”, most specifically with reference to homosexuality, and “indissolubility.”</p>
<p>These were terms deemed unsuitable for our current age and in need of being replaced by “pastoral” and “merciful” language without changing her underlying teachings.</p>
<p>But is this in fact the case?</p>
<p>The purpose of language, after all, is to convey meaning. It is necessary for words to express a clear meaning if they are to be understood by the listener or reader and this is particularly important for the Church, which has the duty of transmitting intact the deposit of faith “delivered once to the saints.” (Jude 1:3) In order to transmit the content of that divine revelation unchanged she must make use clear and precise terminology, which retain a stable meaning.</p>
<p>I would argue that the suggested changes to language would indeed lead to a change in the Church’s teaching, and, that that is in fact the very thing the synod fathers who propose these changes desire.</p>
<p><strong>“Instrinsically disordered”</strong></p>
<p>Of the phrase “intrinsically disordered” Archbishop Mark Coleridge, of Brisbane, Australia, said:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“When we say that this or that act is “intrinsically disordered” or evil, we are taken to be saying that the person who commits the act is “intrinsically disordered” or evil. Because sexuality is no longer seen as being a matter of what a person does; it’s seen now as what a person is… So we can no longer condemn the sin but not the sinner.”</p>
<p>Now one might question whether Archbishop Coleridge’s account of how sexuality was seen, or now is seen, is accurate but his approach is nonetheless clear. I’ll repeat the key line:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Because sexuality is <em>no longer seen</em> as being a matter of what a person does; <em>it’s seen now</em> as what a person is… <em>So we can no longer</em> condemn the sin but not the sinner.”</p>
<p>In other words, because the secular world has changed its view about sexuality the Church must change her language in order to conform to modern trends. So, because many people identify themselves as <em>homosexual</em> and consider that to be normal and natural identity, therefore the Church must, according to Coleridge, accept that by no longer referring to homosexuality as “intrinsically disordered”.</p>
<p>So what is happening here is not fundamentally about making the Church’s language sound more “pastoral”, but rather about conforming the Church’s teaching to modern ideas.</p>
<p><strong>“Indissolubility”</strong></p>
<p>The second term I would like to look at is “indissolubility”. The Catholic Church teaches, as we know, that there is no authority on earth that has the power to dissolve a ratified and consummated sacramental marriage. Such a marriage only ends with the death of the one of the spouses. This is what it means to say that marriage is “indissoluble”.</p>
<p>A number of synod fathers however believe that the term should no longer be. Archbishop Blaise Cupich of Chicago thinks it’s “too juridical” and “too hard” for many to understand. It conveys not “the indissolubility of a wedding band, but handcuffs.” He suggested “life-long fidelity” as an alternative. Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin agreed “Most families would not feel that they live indissolubility” he said “they live fidelity and closeness and care.”</p>
<p>A third synod father, Vincent Cardinal Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, also contrasted the two terms, saying that “indissolubility” could be seen as “unattractive and objective” while “faithfulness” was a “down to earth” term. He emphasised the importance of using language that people can understand.</p>
<p>So we have synod fathers suggesting a replacement of a term in order, they say, to further clarity.</p>
<p>However, of course the opposite in fact occurs because “indissolubility” and “faithfulness” certainly do not have the same meaning.</p>
<p>The indissolubility of the marital bond lasts until one of the spouses dies, whereas faithfulness to the marital bond may or may not be present. The marriage remains indissoluble irrespective of whether the spouses are faithful to other during the time of their marriage.</p>
<p>So the term “indissoluble” simply cannot be replaced by the term “faithfulness”. And if it was, it would suggest that a marriage would only last as long as the two parties are faithful to each other. This is in fact one of the positions held by some Eastern Orthodox theologians to justify the practice of tolerating second marriages.</p>
<p>So it simply isn’t true that replacing “indissolubility” with “faithfulness” would make it easier for Catholics to understand what the Church teaches, it would actually lead to a change of doctrine.</p>
<p>That the changes in language proposed would lead to a break with the Church’s Tradition was frankly admitted by Bishop Lucas Van Looy of Ghent, Belgium, when he told a Vatican press briefing that: “It could be the start of a new Church” he said and “the end of a Church that casts judgement over every situation.</p>
<ol start="2">
<li><strong> Denial of moral absolutes</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>The second element of the “progressive” strategy that I wish to discuss, which is closely related to the calls for a change in language, is the attempt to effectively abolish the notion that some actions are intrinsically evil, and this is done, by stressing the positive aspects of objectively sinful acts.</p>
<p>For example, the <em>Instrumentum Laboris </em>stressed the so-called “positive aspects” of cohabitation in its various forms, without giving a clear presentation of the sinful nature of sexual acts outside of marriage, and the resultant harm caused to individuals and to society.</p>
<p>In fact the document went so far as to imply, in paragraph 102, that civil marriage <em>and</em> simple cohabitation can be described as “an enduring bond, stable and open to life” and that sacramental marriage is “a possible good which ought to be proclaimed as a gift to enrich and strengthen married life”. The implication clearly being that civil marriages, not recognised as valid by the Church, and even cohabitation, are a form of married life.</p>
<p>This was also implied in paragraph 99 which spoke about valuing the positive aspects of cohabitation, until such a time as the “fullness of union in the Sacrament might be achieved”, as if there was already some degree of legitimate union in a sexual relationship outside of marriage.</p>
<p>So what really occurs when “the positive aspects” of sinful unions are praised is that the intrinsic evil of the sinful acts that they involve are obscured or even denied.</p>
<p>However many synod fathers were determined to pursue this approach at the Ordinary Synod. One cardinal, Vincent Nichols of Westminster, went so far as to publicly criticise synod fathers who took the opposite view. In an interview with <em>America</em> magazine he said that there were bishops who found it “very difficult to acknowledge in any way at all that we could point to the evidence and the seeds of goodness in a situation which they wanted to categorize simply as immoral”. He continued by accusing such bishops of being motivated “by fear and anxiety”.</p>
<p>The denial of moral absolutes which underpins such views can be seen in the intervention of Cardinal Marx, the Archbishop of Munich and Freising, and a member of Pope Francis’ inner council of nine cardinals, who said: “Can people truly have the feeling to be part of us when they are regarded as living in the state of grave sin?”</p>
<p>He continued:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“It is also questionable whether sexual acts in a second civil marriage can be judged independently of the circumstances in life. Can we without exception judge sexual acts in a second civil marriage as adultery?”</p>
<p>The answer to Cardinal Marx’s question can be found in the unchanging teaching of the Church, expressed here by Pope John Paul II in his Encyclical Letter <em>Veritatis Splendor, w</em>hich teaches that:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Reason attests that there are objects of the human act… which, in the Church’s moral tradition, have been termed ‘intrinsically evil’: they are such <em>always and per se, </em>in other words, on account of their very object, and quite apart from the ulterior intentions of the one acting and the circumstances.”</p>
<p>Cardinal Marx’s statement is just one of many examples of leading prelates openly rejecting Catholic doctrine; it is no surprise therefore that Archbishop Peta, of Astana in Kazakhstan, felt moved to tell the synod that he could smell the “infernal smoke” in the interventions of many the synod fathers.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li><strong> The call for “decentralisation”</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Cardinal Marx provides a good introduction to the third aspect of “progressive” strategy that I would like to discuss. Back in February of this year Cardinal Marx said, with reference to the Church in Germany, that:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“We are not a subsidiary of Rome. Every episcopal conference is responsible for pastoral care in its own cultural context, and must preach the Gospel in its own original way. We cannot wait for a synod to tell us how we must shape the pastoral care of marriage and the family.”</p>
<p>Such calls for decentralisation of doctrinal authority to bishops’ conferences were heard frequently throughout the synod. Jeremias Schröder, a German Abbot who was attending the Synod on behalf of the Union of Superiors General, told a Vatican press conference that:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Many of the speeches in the general discussions mentioned the possibility of dealing with questions on the basis of a given cultural context. I would say there were about twenty or so speeches and only two or three were against, claiming that for the sake of the Church’s unity handing over powers would have fatal consequences. … I, for example am German and it seems to me that the remarried divorces issue is very strongly and widely felt in Germany and much less so elsewhere. This is an area where there could be space for original pastoral ideas, also as far as the understanding of homosexuality goes, an issue that really varies from culture to culture. National Episcopal Conferences could be allowed to search for pastoral solutions that are in tune with their specific cultural context.”</p>
<p>This same abbot is also quoted in a German newspaper as saying:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“We do not need for every problem a uniform, whole-church solution which was compiled in Rome. The church must maybe come to an agreement about the fact that in different world regions and societies another contact with the complicated subject Family is allowed.”</p>
<p>In other words different parts of the Church can adopt different approaches to moral issues.</p>
<p>The move towards decentralisation of doctrinal authority was given impetus by Pope Francis a major address delivered on 17<sup>th</sup> October 2015, when he said that he: “felt the need to proceed in a healthy ‘decentralization’” of power to the “Episcopal Conferences”.</p>
<p>This echoed a call he had already made, in the Apostolic Exhortation <em>Evangelii Gaudium</em> that bishops’ conferences should be given “<em>genuine doctrinal authority</em>”.</p>
<p>Such calls are troubling given that those prelates, such as Cardinal Marx, who are most ardently asking for such devolution of authority are precisely those who wish to use it to pursue paths incompatible with the teachings of the Catholic Church, such as admitting the “divorced and civilly remarried” to Holy Communion with amendment of life.</p>
<p>Indeed, an image of what a decentralised Church might look like was provided by Archbishop Cupich of Chicago who held an impromptu press conference in Rome where he spoke not only of admitting the “divorced and civilly remarried” to Holy Communion but also those actively living the homosexual lifestyle.</p>
<p>If such a route was followed we would see a practice denounced as a grave sin in one part of the world being viewed as perfectly acceptable in another.</p>
<p>Such an approach is of course completely incompatible with an orthodox understanding of the nature of the Catholic Church, that Church which is defined by St Robert Bellarmine as “a body of men united together by the profession of the same Christian Faith, and by participation in the same sacraments, under the governance of lawful pastors, more especially of the Roman Pontiff, the sole vicar of Christ on earth.”</p>
<p>The Church simply cannot teach different doctrines on matters of faith and morals in different parts of the world and remain the Catholic Church.</p>
<ol start="4">
<li><strong> The rights of parents as primary educators </strong></li>
</ol>
<p>The Ordinary Synod closed on 24<sup>th</sup> October with the release of a final report. This report, remarkably, has still not been released in any language other than Italian. However we have had various extracts translated and there is much about which we should be extremely concerned. Paragraphs 84-86 provide a number of openings to Holy Communion by the “divorced and civilly remarried”. Other paragraphs, such paragraph 71 on cohabitation, adopt the erroneous emphasis on “positive aspects” on sinful unions that we considered earlier.</p>
<p>However to close my talk today I want to draw attention to paragraph 58 which deals with sex education. The paragraph states: “The family, while maintaining its primary space in education (cf. <em>Gravissimum Educationis</em>, 3), cannot be the only place for teaching sexuality.”</p>
<p>To understand why this passage is such a serious threat to parental rights we need to examine two things: first, the threat currently being posed to parents and children by governments and international organisations and, secondly, the Church’s traditional response to such threats.</p>
<p>So, first we must understand that there is a strong determination on the part of the world’s most powerful politicians, including both national governments and international organisations such as the United Nations, to obstruct the exercise of the right of parents to be the primary educators of their children.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says “Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children” powerful bodies such as the UN’s Compliance Committee for the Convention on the Rights of the Child are putting pressure on developing nations, particularly African nations, to give children from 12 years old access to contraception and abortion, without the knowledge of their parents.</p>
<p>In addition UNESCO and the World Health Organisation are promoting anti-life and pornographic sex education programmes which seek to eliminate the role of parents as the primary educators and protectors of their children.</p>
<p>Parents of families in western nations are also denied the right to control sex education in their children’s schools, including in Catholic schools. In England and Wales, for example, children have access to contraception and abortion without the knowledge of their parents, including in Catholic schools with the authority of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. In addition, teachers in British primary schools are being trained by “Stonewall”, a militant homosexual “rights” group which has a policy that children must be taught that they might grow up to marry a person of the same sex. Training by Stonewall for teachers is taking place in Catholic primary schools with the co-operation of the local Catholic bishop.</p>
<p>So how has the Church previously dealt with this threat?</p>
<p>Pope John Paul II repeated the constant teaching of the church when he said, in his Apostolic Exhortation <em>Familiaris Consortio</em>, that, and I quote:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“Sex education, which is a basic right and duty of parents, must always be carried out under their attentive guidance, whether at home or in educational centres chosen and controlled by them.”</p>
<p>Compare and contrast the two statements:</p>
<p>The synod says: “The family… cannot be the only place for teaching sexuality.”</p>
<p>But John Paul II taught that it is entirely the parent’s responsibility to decide if they involve institutions outside the family and furthermore that if they choose to so those institutions must be controlled by the parents and their children must remain “under their attentive guidance.”</p>
<p>Pope Leo XIII taught the same doctrine in his encyclical <em>Sapientiae Christianae</em>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“By nature parents have a right to the training of their children, but with this added duty that the education and instruction of the child be in accord with the end for which by God’s blessing it was begotten. Therefore it is the duty of parents to make every effort to prevent any invasion of their rights in this matter, and to make absolutely sure that the education of their children remain under their own control in keeping with their Christian duty.”</p>
<p>In his encyclical <em>Divini Illius Magistri</em> Pope Pius XI was able to state:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“History bears witness how, particularly in modern times, the State has violated and does violate rights conferred by God on the family. At the same time it shows magnificently how the Church has ever protected and defended these rights, a fact proved by the special confidence which parents have in Catholic schools.”</p>
<p>Regrettably Pius XI would not be able to say those words today, because the trust placed by Catholic parents in Catholic schools has been systematically violated.</p>
<p>Last week the Pontifical Academy for Sciences held a workshop which it was announced would be discussing how to deploy children as “agents of change” in the cause of sustainable development. The workshop was addressed by leading architects of the international population control movement, including Jeffrey Sachs, special advisor to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.</p>
<p>Jeffrey Sachs is an ardent proponent of population control, calling in particular for the birth rate in Africa to be drastically reduced through government programmes aimed at increased use of contraception. In his 2008 book <em>Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet</em> he also set out the supposedly positive effects that legalising abortion has on population levels</p>
<p>The briefing document for this workshop claims that children are at risk from their “parents” and “official agencies, basing themselves on religious principles” which hold views deemed anti-scientific.</p>
<p>It is also necessary, the briefing argues, for Catholic schools to “absorb the UN sustainable Development Goals” – the same sustainable development goals that call for universal access to “reproductive health”, that is, universal access to abortion and contraception.</p>
<p>In this connection it is extremely disturbing to note that the encyclical letter <em>Laudato Si</em> discusses education in environmentalism in paragraphs 209-215, without making any reference to parents.</p>
<p>In this context the approval of paragraph 58 of the final report of the synod by 94% of the synod father indicates a very serious failure by the hierarchy of the Church to recognise the severity of the threat currently facing parents.</p>
<p>I would like to end with a quotation from another pope, Pius XII, who in 1946 was already discerning the crisis that we face today, and the question that he asked is one that we must all ask ourselves today. He said:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“There is a good deal of talk, but without the necessary clarity of concept, about a ‘new theology’, which must be in constant transformation, following the example of all other things in the world, which are in a constant state of flux and movement, without ever reaching their term. If we were to accept such an opinion what would become of the unchangeable dogmas of the Catholic Faith; and what would become of the unity and stability of that Faith?”</p>
<p>Today more than ever we must remain faithful to unchanging teachings of the Catholic Church.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Pink was on top form at Notre Dame and it is delightful to see him admit the wisdom of Aegedius Romanus with his closing remarks. Given that Pink holds it to be part of the state’s <em>essential duties</em> to recognise the true religion and then (due to the nature of Divine Law) enter into soul-body union with the Church, it seems to me he has answered the central criticisms of John Lamont. The assumption of various patristic writers that it is part of the essential duties of the state to repress religious error stem from the more fundamental assumption that it is part of the state’s essential duties to recognise the true religion. Insofar as the state only truly realises its own definition when it adopts the true religion the state only truly is the state when it functions as the instrument of the Church in these matters. This is the pure doctrine of St Augustine (enthusiasitically endorsed by Leo XIII in <em>Humanum Genus</em> and <em>Immortale Dei</em>). It is because of the revealed <em>Divine Law</em> by which the state’s acts must be informed that it can only repress religious error as the Church’s instrument. In a state of pure nature the state would supress religious error in its own right, but in this order of providence the state was made to be the instrument of the Church.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The most remarkable factor in this debate is how uninterested Rhonheimer is in the truth of the matter or the intentions of the Council Fathers. What he wants is the repudiation of the prior teaching of the Church. He promotes a tendentious understanding of St Gelasius and then quotes the ‘erring’ views of St Gregory the Great and St Isidore of Seville (both Doctors of the Church). He never mentions <em>Quanta Cura</em> whose doctrine he passionately rejects but in which as Bl. John Henry Newman observes the “infallible teaching voice” is distinctly heard. The only way he has of avoiding this problem is to say that the Popes can err concerning what is or is not a matter of faith and morals. Thus Rhonheimer renders empty the entire concept of ecclesiastical infallibility. As Rhonheimer says, in his view, “the Vatican Council exactly teaches as a right what the Pontiffs of the nineteenth century have condemned, there is a real contradiction.” But this is not a problem for Rhonheimer, because this is what he most earnestly desires for its own sake, quite independently of the whole question of religious liberty. <em>Dignitatis Humanae</em> (and contraception in his other writings) are merely test cases by which he pursues his real goal of overthrowing the irreformability of the magisterium. This is why Rhonheimer wastes so much time of the interpretation of a curial address of Benedict XVI and spends so little time on <em>Dignitatis Humanae</em> itself. As a conservative Modernist Rhonheimer treats not the solemn definitions of Popes and Councils but rather the most recent statements of the ecclesiastical establishment (regardless of their magisterial weight) as the theological norm that outranks all others. We must recall the Anti-Modernist Oath which declares “I am completely opposed to the error of the modernists who hold that there is nothing divine in sacred tradition; <u>or what is far worse, say that there is, but in a pantheistic sense</u>“. It is this ‘far worse’ error that Rhonheimer really cares about and seeks to insinuate by his mutationist reading of <em>Dignitatis Humanae.</em></p>

<p>‘What do they teach them at Cranmer Hall?’ you will have been asking, as Justin Welby has been very publicly wrestling with theodicy over the Paris bombings.</p>
<p>In a world where the expectation of the security forces is that another and similar atrocity is imminent, we can be pretty sure of further existential cris de coeur from Lambeth Palace.</p>
<p>But things are perhaps not as serious as they seem. The Archbishop of Canterbury and ‘Focus of Unity’ (sic) of the Anglican Communion is not in any real danger of losing his faith. The posturing is merely part of a curious Anglican desire to gain street cred.</p>
<p>Believe it or believe it not, Anglicans seriously think that the man on the Clapham omnibus is encouraged in his religious faith by the doubts of Archbishops, and can more easily be lured to salvation by someone who is unsure of the very gospel they preach.</p>
<p>This counter intuitive perception lies at the heart of modern Anglicanism. It is the essential key to understanding it.</p><br /> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/ignatiushisconclave.wordpress.com/610/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/ignatiushisconclave.wordpress.com/610/" /></a> <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=ignatiushisconclave.org&blog=90420565&post=610&subd=ignatiushisconclave&ref=&feed=1" width="1" />

<strong>Horror in Pamplona</strong><br />
The sacrileges and profanations of the Thirty Years War in 17th century France pale in comparison to the  horrible sacrilege that took place in Pamplona, Spain earlier this year. Spanish “artist” Abel Azcona stole more than 240 consecrated Hosts by pretending to receive Holy Communion at Mass. He then placed the hosts on the ground to form the word “pederasty” in Spanish. The sacrilege is being prolonged by a display of photographs in a public art gallery in Pamplona, sponsored by the city’s Department for Culture. Protestors demonstrated against the sacrilegious exhibit in Pamplona last evening and more than 75,000 people have signed a petition asking the city council to remove the exhibit immediately.</p>
<p><strong>A Lively Eucharistic Faith</strong><br />
The Benedictine Adorers founded by Mother Mectilde de Bar (1614–1698) bind themselves to cultivate a lively faith in the adorable Sacrament of the Altar. It is by faith that one penetrates beyond the veil of the Sacred Species; it is by faith that one lays hold of the Mystery at once concealed and revealed in the Most Holy Eucharist. Eucharistic faith waxes strong when it is exercised and expressed; Eucharistic faith wanes when the soul becomes listless and indifferent.</p>
<p><strong>Reparation for Infidels and Heretics</strong><br />
Mother Mectilde’s faith made her acutely sensitive to the blasphemies, sacrileges, and profanations perpetrated by the faithless (infidels) and by heretics. Even within the Church, there are those who have lost the orthodox faith in the Most Holy Sacrament; even within the Church, there are those who hold heretical opinions concerning the adorable Mystery of the Eucharist. In her introduction to the <em>Constitutions</em> of her Institute, Mother Mectilde writes:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>They will be victims to repair by their lively faith, the honour due the real Person of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ that infidels and heretics take away by their blasphemies, by their sacrileges, and by their profanations.</strong></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><strong>They will be victims of love to repair by their union the respect that sinners have lost for the Holy of Holies when they approach It having affection for their sins, and when they try to unite Jesus Christ to Belial, and Dagon with the Ark in a profaned temple and in a soiled heart. </strong></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><strong>Finally, they will be victims to repair by their prayer the reverence that libertines and the greater part of Christians refuse or neglect to bring to the Holy Mysteries, at which they assist without a spirit of prayer and without devotion.</strong></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><strong>Happy the soul who will be found worthy of making such reparation to the Most Holy Sacrament; happier still if that soul fulfills as she ought the great obligation that makes her guilty of all the profanations of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, and consequently, subject to suffer the chastisements and all the pains merited by those who have profaned this Most Holy Sacrament and who will profane it until the end of the ages.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Loss of Faith</strong><br />
It would be naive to imagine that a certain complexus of imprudent liturgical reforms has not contributed to a loss of faith and to a proliferation of blasphemies, sacrileges, and profanations.  One can no longer afford to look uncritically at such practices as the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass “facing the people”; Holy Communion given in the hand; the suppression of kneeling at Holy Communion; the use of Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion in ordinary circumstances; the disappearance of the altar rail;  and the desacralization of the sanctuary. All of these things, and the various other liturgical aberrations that have so troubled the peace of the Church over the past fifty years, have fomented indifference to the sacred and widespread irreverence. The shocking confiscation of Sacred Hosts with a sacrilegious intent is not unrelated to the casual handling of the Most Holy Sacrament that, in many places, has become routine.</p>
<p><strong>Blasphemies, Sacrileges, and Profanations</strong><br />
During Mother Mectilde’s lifetime, the unrest of The Thirty Years War, and the incursions of Protestant soldiers bent on destroying Catholic worship, led to blasphemies, sacrileges, and profanations. In our own day, as the events in Pamplona, Spain, tragically demonstrate, these same affronts against the Most Holy Sacrament are committed within the Church herself, by those who, dissimulating themselves among the faithful, approach Holy Communion with wicked motives.</p>

(Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face)</em></p></div>
<p><strong>A Forerunner of Saint Thérèse</strong><br />
The appropriate response should be one of sorrow, of love, of reparation, <u>and of solidarity</u> with the poor souls who offend Our Lord in this way. Mother Mectilde’s charism is not to condemn such souls from above, but rather to descend into their spiritual darkness, and to identify with them, choosing solidarity with them, and representing them before the Most Blessed Sacrament. In her solidarity with those who sin against the adorable Mystery of the Eucharist, Mother Mectilde is a forerunner of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face, who wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>But, Lord, your child knows that you are the Light. She asks you to forgive her unbelieving brethren; she will willingly eat the bread of sorrow for as long as you wish; she will, for love of you, sit at this table where the wretched sinners eat their bitter food and will not leave it until you give the sign. But may she not say in her own name and in the name of her guilty brethren, “O God, be merciful to us sinners! Send us away justified! May all those who have never been illumined by the light of faith see it shine at last! O God, if the table defiled by them must be cleansed by one who loves You, I will gladly stay there alone and eat the bread of sorrow until You are pleased to lead me to your kingdom of light. I ask of you only one favour, that I may never displease You.</p></blockquote>
<p>What Saint Thérèse expresses in this text, Mother Mectilde sought to express symbolically. Thus do her Benedictine Adorers make reparation before the Blessed Sacrament, kneeling at a column surmounted by a candle in the midst of the choir, with a rope about their necks.</p>
<p><strong>If Thou, O Lord, Wilt Mark Iniquities</strong><br />
Mother Mectilde would have her Adorers make reparation, not by standing aloof from sinners, but by identifying with them, and by taking upon themselves whatever sufferings the severe and tender mercy of God permits for the healing of their souls. The Benedictine Adorer making reparation takes his place among sinners and, out of love, is content to remain in their darkness, to eat the coarse bread moistened by tears that is theirs, and to say:</p>
<blockquote><p>If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities:<br />
Lord, who shall stand it.<br />
For with thee there is merciful forgiveness:<br />
and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord.<br />
My soul hath relied on his word:<br />
My soul hath hoped in the Lord.<br />
From the morning watch even until night,<br />
let Israel hope in the Lord.<br />
Because with the Lord there is mercy:<br />
and with him plentiful redemption.<br />
And he shall redeem Israel<br />
from all his iniquities. (Psalm 129:3-8)</p></blockquote>

<h1><strong>All The Light You Need</strong></h1>
<p>I remember a bright string of tail-lights stretching out in front of us on the freeway as we drove home after dark. We had spent a long summer day in my grandparent’s pool with an army of cousins — a collective parenting strategy of peace by exhaustion that I can now appreciate as a middle-aged uncle. On the ride home I sat in the back seat of our VW bus, my vision blurred from an overdose of chlorinated pool water, California sun, and good ol’ fashioned fatigue.</p>
<p>A trail of red and white lights traced the way home through the dark hills of Brea Canyon. It seemed to me like a peppermint stick or candy cane that someone forgot to twist. I remember it now as a moment of authentic wonder — a summer memory, with a Christmas flavor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">***</p>
<p>Are we there yet? No. It’s barely Thanksgiving. But even now, at the edge of Advent [Catholic faux pas alert], I’m thinking of Christmas — just as I was in the string of summer traffic in the back of that VW bus. And now, as then, I’m tired, I’m far from home, and my vision is blurred. Red-cups and culture wars, racism and refugees, terrorism and endless war. The child in me waits for Christmas. The adult wonders who will make it happen.</p>
<p>At no other time do we feel simultaneously so old and so much a child than at the holidays. Our waiting and our wanting overwhelm us. The not-yet-happened and the happened-long-ago erupt in our hearts at the scent of candles and cookies. But also in the sadness we feel as we read the morning news, the pinch of realizing that the world is not at peace, the kingdom not yet come, the child still in exile, the wise ones still en route. We feel more the distance and the darkness, the longing and the loneliness, a child’s hope in a weary world: We’re not there yet.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">***</p>
<p>I was sitting alone at the top of the stairs in the dark early morning and looking down into a living room flooded with the soft light of our Christmas tree. Someone had left the lights on overnight, a fire-hazard to be sure, but my favorite childhood hazard by far. Those little lights on the huge tree in our living room made the most ordinary space special.</p>
<p>And it was huge. My father insisted that our tree reach the very top of our 12-foot-tall vaulted ceiling; and, trees being as they are, height comes with girth so, you can imagine. We did our Christmas tree shopping in places normally reserved for banks or, I don’t know, Rockefeller Center. The installation process involved bicycle hooks and hanging wire, lots of sap and an occasional chip of paint or drop of blood. Every year we marked the season with this outrageous gesture and made sacred the place in which we lived our normal lives day in and day out.</p>
<p>I remember most the lights. There is something about the gathering of small lights — harvest lanterns, prayer lamps, vigil candles, stars — something about the little things and the soft that remind us of the strength of tenderness and the delicate enchantment of real beauty. I sat there for some time. I have no idea why I was awake. But there I was, before the same old living room, totally alone and silent, feeling very present and far far away all at once.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">***</p>

<p>There’s always tension this time of year and if we take Advent seriously, maybe it’s seasonally appropriate. But we ought to avoid confusing cultural tension (the war on ‘x’) for liturgical tension (the mystery of ‘here, but not yet’). For if there is to be a holy tension it’s never meant to divide us, to exclude us, or to break us. It’s meant to hold us. That’s important. A divine tension is always meant to hold us — like a lover’s arms, like a mother’s embrace, like a hammock in the shade on a warm sandy beach. Divine tension, a deeply restorative tension, is always healing.</p>
<p>It’s important to remember that Advent is only possible because Christmas has already happened. I’m reminded of what philosopher Hannah Arendt calls our natality — the fact of our birth, our capacity for spontaneity, our human state of here-but-not-yet potential. In our natality the ordinary and the divine find a redemptive unity. The unthinkable is made possible. The forgotten become the most important. The vulnerable possess a real power. We’re not there yet. But we’re held in hope and our faith is one of witness. The nativity is already a reality.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">***</p>
<p>Every year we took the lights and ornaments down and put them back in their boxes after first wrapping them in excessive amounts of toilet paper (archaeologists of the future will delight in my mother’s rubber tubs full of mummified Santas). It would all go into hiding again, waiting to be unwrapped in a year’s time. And this was for me the real gift of Christmas. The same old toys wrapped and unwrapped every year with what felt like an ever-new joy — both a sweet memory and a sacred hope.</p>
<p>Theologically we call this an eschatological moment, a moment where we experience the end of things and their fullness, a moment where we are reminded that eternity is not as distant as it is ever-present. It’s tricky, but Advent plays the game well. We’re not there yet. But here? Absolutely.</p>
<p>In many places Advent is marked by lighting four candles, one at a time, over the course of four weeks – a gentle reminder of the magic, the mystery of what it means to say that God is present in our longing, born in our vulnerability, revealed in our fragile humanity. So, make your lists, check them twice, light your candles, start your countdown-calendar, for the child is here, if even not yet. And if, for whatever reason, you find yourself exhausted, far from home, sitting in traffic with watery eyes, look to the horizon and know that even here, even now, even in this sad little moment, you can find all the light you need.</p>

<p><em><strong>Editor’s Note:</strong></em> In the coming weeks, the blog-writers for TheJesuitPost.org will publish a series of stories around this theme: <em>Here. But not yet.</em> It will be our way of marking this time, of remembering this creative tension in serial, in stories linked by nothing other than our wanting to write them. And along the way, maybe we’ll find something of the Christmas we seek.</p>

Saint John of the Cross comes to us just before the First Sunday of Advent; he announces that the longest night of the year is not far off. He comes exhorting us to heed the voice of God, who says, “I am the Lord, there is no other; I form the light, and create the darkness” (Is 24:6). Saint John of the Cross comes to guide us through the night; he is familiar with all its secrets.</p>
<p><em>Blest night of wandering<br />
In secret, where by none might I be spied,<br />
Nor I see anything;<br />
Without a light to guide,<br />
Save that which in my heart burnt in my side.<br />
That light did lead me on,<br />
More surely than the shining of noontide,<br />
Where well I knew that One<br />
Did for my coming bide;<br />
Where he abode, might none but he abide.<br />
<small>(In an Obscure Night, trans. by Arthur Symons</small>)</em></p>
<p>The best poetry is born of suffering and forged in the crucible of life. Though I find in the poems of Saint John of the Cross a fire that unfailingly warms and illumines, I have, over the years, come to rely more and more on his <em>Precautions</em>, an incomparable guide for the terrible quotidian, wise rules for coping with the struggles and stress of living with oneself and others.</p>
<p><strong>His Poetry and His Precautions</strong><br />
Every year at the time of his feast, I return to the <em>Precautions</em> of Saint John of the Cross. He wrote them between 1578 and 1579 for the nuns of Beas; at the time he was living at the monastery of El Calvario, having just escaped from prison in Toledo.</p>
<p>The Mystical Doctor’s teaching in the <em>Precautions</em> interfaces in the most remarkable way with what Saint Benedict teaches us in Chapter Seven of the Holy Rule. Here is a sampling of what Saint John of the Cross says:</p>
<blockquote><p>Very carefully guard yourself against thinking about what happens in the community, and even more against speaking of it, of anything in the past or present concerning a particular religious: nothing about his or her character or conduct or deeds no matter how serious any of this seems.<br />
Do not say anything under the color of zeal or of correcting a wrong, unless at the proper time to whomever by right you ought to tell.<br />
Never be scandalized or astonished at anything you happen to see or learn of, endeavoring to preserve your soul in forgetfulness of all that.<br />
For, should you desire to pay heed to things, many will seem wrong, even were you to live among angels, because of your not understanding the substance of them.<br />
Take Lot’s wife as an example: Because she was troubled at the destruction of the Sodomites and turned her head to watch what was happening, God punished her by converting her into a pillar of salt [Genesis 19:26].<br />
You are thus to understand God’s will: that even were you to live among devils you should not turn the head of your thoughts to their affairs, but forget these things entirely and strive to keep your soul occupied purely and entirely in God, and not let the thought of this thing or that hinder you from so doing.<br />
And to achieve this, be convinced that in monasteries and communities there is never a lack of stumbling blocks, since there is never a lack of devils who seek to overthrow the saints; God permits this in order to prove and try religious.<br />
And if you do not guard yourself, acting as though you were not in the house, you will not know how to be a religious no matter how much you do, nor will you attain holy denudation and recollection or free yourself of the harm arising from these thoughts.<br />
If you are not cautious in this manner, no matter how good your intention and zeal, the devil will catch you in one way or another. And you are already fully captive when you allow yourself distractions of this sort.</p></blockquote>
<p>Recall what the Apostle St. James asserts: If anyone thinks he is religious, not restraining the tongue, that one’s religion is vain [Jas. 1:26]. This applies as much to the interior as to the exterior tongue.</p>
<p><strong>No Other</strong><br />
Two words recur in the prophet Isaiah, almost like a refrain: “No other.” “I am the Lord and there is no other” (Is 45:6). “There is none besides me” (Is 45:6) “I am God, and there is no other” (Is 45:22). Saint John, in his <em>Precautions</em>, says the same thing: “No other.” He teaches us in all our nights to train our gaze on the light that shines from the Face of Christ alone and on no other. Only then are we capable of looking upon others and ourselves rightly.</p>
<p><strong>From the Cross Shines the Human Face of God</strong><br />
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the Mystery of the Cross made present. From the Cross there shines for us the Human Face of God and no other. In the light of that Face, let us go forward, “though it be night.”</p>

A few days later there is Saint Andrew (30 November) who, in the magnificent antiphons of his Office greets the mystery of the Cross in the light of faith. The advent of Christ is marked by the sign of the Cross. Let us receive its imprint humbly, knowing that by the Cross of Christ we are healed and set free. We pray today that those called to seek God in Carmel may remain, like Saint John of the Cross, faithful to the meditation of the Word and to prayer by day and by night, until their consummation in the Living Flame of Love.</em></p>

You have now become a “religion neutral” university.  Or, how about “reality neutral” university?  Whatever it is, it certainly ain’t Catholic, it’s just plain idiotic!  Wouldn’t it be nice if you thought of “Catholic inclusive” when you came up with this game plan? <a href="http://www.cardinalnewmansociety.org/CatholicEducationDaily/DetailsPage/tabid/102/ArticleID/4512/Fordham-Changes-Restroom-Signs-as-Part-of-'Gender-Inclusive'-Campaign.aspx">http://www.cardinalnewmansociety.org/CatholicEducationDaily/DetailsPage/tabid/102/ArticleID/4512/Fordham-Changes-Restroom-Signs-as-Part-of-‘Gender-Inclusive’-Campaign.aspx</a></p>
<p>Let me just let you in on something, Fordham, as PC as it is, 99.9% of women in this world don’t want to go to the bathroom anywhere near the opposite sex. The Battlestar Galactica circa 2009 isn’t real.  Real women don’t want to “do their business” in earshot, eyeshot, or anywhere within 10,000 feet of a man.  Not only that, we don’t want men using our facilities, no matter how much they “feel like a woman.”  It’s ingrained into us, and any woman who disagrees has taken feminism to an all new and disturbing level.</p>
<p>Guys are not the neatest, and I’m sure everyone woman who’s used the Starbuck’s unisex bathroom is thinking, “Oh yeah, right!” at this point.  I’m not a guy, so I won’t presume to answer for them, but I’m pretty sure that, unless they’re completely perverted, they feel the same way.  Remember, we’re not just talking about “men who feel like women” and vice versa, we’re talking about all men and women using the same restroom.  Talk about ruining the mystery.  It’s just a new and exciting way to ruin the attraction for the opposite sex.</p>
<p>To those hipsters who think it’s going to be cool to be so liberated from the constraints of society, just you wait. I’m predicting this will be gone soon, along with your beards.  Women don’t really like those, either.  To those that claim they do…I can’t help you.</p><br /> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/onemadmomblog.wordpress.com/402/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/onemadmomblog.wordpress.com/402/" /></a> <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=onemadmomblog.wordpress.com&blog=90236438&post=402&subd=onemadmomblog&ref=&feed=1" width="1" />

<p>"Never did American Catholics do evangelization better than in World War II," wrote the correspondent who emailed me the link to this article. Indeed, it's a telling and timely piece, given what lies just over the horizon. Read on: John C. Seitz,"<a href="http://www.readperiodicals.com/201412/3529531221.html">The Mass-Clock and the Spy: The Catholicization of World War II</a>," <i>Church History</i> (December 1, 2014). What follows here are just two excerpts from the <i>Introduction</i>:<blockquote> At the back of a pocket-sized missal distributed by the National Catholic Community Service (NCCS), U.S. military personnel serving in World War II could find a particularly useful wartime device. The two-page spread centered on an image that would have been vaguely familiar to most U.S. Catholics. The largest feature was a sun-like circle rising and radiating out from a smaller ciborium beneath. In more familiar Catholic imagery the circle appeared sometimes as the sun, sometimes as the Eucharistic host itself. It was typically embossed with the letters "IHS," a Greek-derived abbreviation of the Holy Name of Jesus, or with the Greek letters A[Omega], representing Jesus as Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end of all. In these familiar forms, the image signaled the centrality and efficacy of the sacrament of communion in the religious life of Catholics. Through communion, received in the form of the Eucharistic bread consecrated and delivered by the hands of an ordained priest, Catholics united themselves with Christ, whose very name was woven into the fabric of the universe. Participation in Holy Communion, which for the properly scrupulous was preceded always by the sacrament of confession, united Catholics with Christ, activated the flow of grace into their lives, and ensured their eternal proximity to God. <br /><br />Global warfare pressed this imagery into new realms. Instead of a host or the sun rising up, the circular form here took the shape of a clock face. Inside the clock face, instead of the letters "IHS," readers found a world map, including the six inhabited continents viewed from a point high above the North Pole. In each hour segment of the clock face, the names of two different regions were listed. Text below and on the facing page offered instructions if one was "unable to attend Mass because of military service or the absence of a chaplain." Using this "World-Mass-Clock" and the accompanying "Mass-Clock-Prayer" Catholics could join themselves spiritually with the sacrifice of the Mass as it was happening at any given moment, somewhere in the world. "No matter when you look at your clock," the pages explained, "it is early morning somewhere ... and some Priest is offering Mass!" With these pages at hand, Catholics could discover where in the world, at that precise moment, the church was uniting itself with Christ's original sacrifice. In addition to studying the catechism assigned to that week's Mass (found earlier in the booklet), servicemen could recite the "Mass-Clock-Prayer" which began: <br /><br />Eternal Father, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I wish to unite myself with Jesus, now offering His Precious Blood in [mention name of country] in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. <br /><br />... But Catholics did not rest solely on the assurances provided by these powerful prayers, objects, and actions. Alongside the heavy traffic of sacramentals and stories about their potency, Catholics eagerly disseminated separatist narratives of U.S. Catholic triumph. "Mack," a "twentieth-century G.I.," offered one of these stories for the editors of the NCCS's wartime newsletter entitled Contact.... <br /><br />Well-versed in Catholic expectations for the lay apostolate, Mack riffed on the motto of Catholic Action--a very twentieth century plan for extending Catholic influence in secular democracies--to describe his role as a Catholic in the U.S. military. The main fruit of this experience, he averred, would be relatively slow to develop. Military service was a time to "OBSERVE and JUDGE," a chance for "sizing up what is pagan in our environment." Armed with "a knowledge of what this environment should be," "Contact men"--those lined up with the Catholic approach to the war--could also use their time in the service to forge plans "to change what is into what should be ." "ACT," the implementation phase of the Catholic Action mandate, would have to wait until later, when the hindrances of military life--"army discipline and organization, schedules, breaking up of outfits, fatigue, discouragement"--had been left behind. <br /><br />In the meantime, "day-to-day living in the midst of the men," what Mack described as life in a "pagan" environment, could be a kind of religious ordeal. Military life, he wrote, is "unconsciously sounding our spiritual depths and ploughing furrows in the very fibers of our being." With war's end, the "days of reconstruction " would begin, and tested and focused Catholics would manifest "a spiritual ripeness hitherto unknown to us" in the form of Catholic Action. Catholics in the military should understand themselves as spies behind enemy lines, immersed in a trying reconnaissance mission on behalf of the church. The enemy was not Germany or Japan, not Nazism or totalitarianism, nor even the lurking menace of communism. The enemy was a wayward America. Catholicism, mobilized through informed and eager lay Catholics, could be America's only hope in a future clouded by indifference, immorality, and paganism.</blockquote><a href="http://www.readperiodicals.com/201412/3529531221.html">Read more.

<p><img alt="Together this family was in the process of washing their labrado" class="attachment-rssimage wp-post-image" height="100" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ethikapolitika/wp-content/uploads/barr-100x100.jpg" width="100" /></p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Caring for others is found first in what Helen Alvare calls the interdependability of husband-and-wife. Speaking on restoring the marriage culture to a recent Love and Fidelity Network conference, she explained that this care reveals itself in the parents’ care for their child. Seeing one’s spouse care for a child leads to a new depth of love between spouses: “I love you for how you care for our child.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">During the Q&A period after the talk, I asked about the role of adoption—not just as a choice made by infertile couples—in restored marriage culture. In her brief response, she affirmed that adoption is a good thing and spoke about adoption as an exchange of gifts. This language is similar to that of Pope Saint John Paul II who, in his address to adoptive families in 2000 said, “To adopt a child is a great work of love. When it is done, much is given, but much is also received. It is a true exchange of gifts.” She assured me that her emphasis on procreative sex was in no way a negation or lessening of the significance of adoption.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I appreciated her response but was unsatisfied with it. It is one thing to affirm adoption as good in the context of civic society, but it’s another thing entirely to speak of adoption as necessary.  Not saying adoption is unimportant is very different than saying adoption is important.</span>
<b>A Lack of Language</b>
I wonder if the hesitancy among many Catholics who’ve thought deeply about the family to explore adoption in more depth stems from a lack of a developed and theologically-rich language for use in speaking of the role of adoption within marriage culture?
<span style="font-weight: 400;">We certainly have the data showing the negative effects of broken families and by extension the need for the Church to be much more involved in adoption. At the conference, sociologist W. Bradford Wilcox presented compelling research to show that marriage and family are crucial for economic flourishing. Wilcox’s statistics could, in many ways, tell my own life story. My father, a black man, was imprisoned when I was born, while my mother, a white woman, was addicted to drugs and poor. Neither, you might imagine, attended college. See the statistics.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Wilcox said low-conflict divorces—such as when the mother and father didn’t scream at each other every night—are actually more destabilizing for children than divorces stemming from high-conflict. Immediately, I thought of my two biological sisters who were adopted by a married couple vastly different from the one that adopted me: their father had an affair and deserted the family. One of my sisters became a teacher, while the other dropped out of high school and had an out-of-wedlock baby. Watch the statistics come to life.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">What stood out to me was how the research showed upward mobility to be limited in </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">communities</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of single-parent households. Wilcox spoke of this in the language of an ecology, which calls to mind Pope Francis’ encyclical </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Laudato Si’</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">: the point for both men, one speaking from the social sciences and the other from theology, is that our actions and lifestyles are intimately and intricately connected with the world and those around us.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">This language of ecology is crucial in understanding adoption. It is fundamentally an ecological reality because it does not concern itself only with the couple and the child. It also involves the child’s biological family, the native land of the child’s birth (read in the most local language possible: this street, this neighborhood, this house), the various mediating institutions involved (court, government agency, private organization) and their employees.</span>
<b>Adoption and Civil Ecology</b>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Given the reality of our broken world, if we are to speak of strengthening civic society and restoring a marriage culture, how can we not speak of adoption? If adoption has a role in the ecology of civic society and if Pope John Paul II recognized that the the parent-child adoptive relationship is not inferior to the biological relationship, why do we not have a distinctly Catholic language for talking about the necessity of adoption in marriage culture?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Since adoption is unlike procreative sex in that not all Catholic couples need be open to adoption, the language of adoption cannot be applied to everyone prescriptively. Taking a cue from Scripture, however, orphan care and adoption can be talked about prescriptively when seen as a responsibility explicitly given to the Church. More specifically, since such care is commanded by the apostle Paul in direct letters to specific churches, an argument can readily be made that care-as-an-imperative should be internalized by each local parish church.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A distinctly Catholic language of adoption would likely be centered on adoption as the work of communities, not just individuals, with an emphasis on subsidiarity and thus locality. Similarly, this language should be rooted in Pope Paul VI’s understanding (in </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Populorum Progessio</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">) of the progress of the human being’s development as needfully tied to the development of all humanity in the “spirit of solidarity.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">November is National Adoption Month. It would be appropriate for deeper thinkers than myself to take up the challenge and develop a language of adoption consistent with the great body of Catholic social teaching.</span>

Dezember)</span><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Liebe Brüder und Schwestern!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Heute möchte ich über einen wichtigen Heiligen sprechen, einen geistlichen Freund der hl. Theresia, der gemeinsam mit ihr die karmelitische Ordensfamilie reformiert hat: den hl. Johannes vom Kreuz, der 1926 von Papst Pius XI. zum Kirchenlehrer erhoben wurde und traditionell den Beinamen „Doctor mysticus“ – „Lehrer der Mystik“ – trägt.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Johannes vom Kreuz wurde 1542 in dem kleinen Dorf Fontiveros bei Ávila in Altkastilien geboren, als Sohn von Gonzalo de Yepes und Catalina Alvarez. Die Familie war sehr arm, weil der Vater, der toledanischem Adel entstammte, von zu Hause verjagt und enterbt wurde, da er Catalina geheiratet hatte, eine einfache Seidenweberin. Bereits in zartem Alter verlor er seinen Vater und zog mit neun Jahren mit seiner Mutter und seinem Bruder Francisco nach Medina del Campo bei Valladolid, ein Handels- und Kulturzentrum. Hier besuchte er das „Colegio de los Doctrinos“ und erledigte auch einige einfache Arbeiten für die Ordensschwestern des Konvents bei der Kirche „Santa María Magdalena“. Dann wurde er dank seiner menschlichen Eigenschaften und schulischen Erfolge zunächst als Krankenpfleger im Hospital „Inmaculada Concepción“ und dann in das Jesuitenkolleg aufgenommen, das in Medina del Campo gerade gegründet worden war: Hier trat Johannes mit 18 Jahren ein und studierte drei Jahre lang Humanwissenschaften, Rhetorik und klassische Sprachen. Am Ende der Ausbildung hatte er seine Berufung ganz deutlich vor Augen: das Ordensleben, und unter den vielen Orden, die in Medina anwesend waren, fühlte er sich in den Karmel berufen.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Im Sommer 1563 begann er das Noviziat bei den Karmeliten der Stadt und nahm den <b>Ordensnamen Johannes vom hl. Matthias</b> an. Im folgenden Jahr wurde er an die berühmte Universität von Salamanca geschickt, wo er drei Jahre lang die Freien Künste und Philosophie studierte. 1567 wurde er zum Priester geweiht und kehrte nach Medina del Campo zurück, um umgeben von der Liebe seiner Angehörigen seine erste heilige Messe zu feiern. Hier kam es zur ersten Begegnung zwischen Johannes und Theresia von Jesus. Die Begegnung war für beide entscheidend: Theresia erläuterte ihm ihren Plan zur Reform des Karmels auch für den männlichen Zweig des Ordens und schlug Johannes vor, sich ihm „<i>zur größeren Ehre Gottes</i>“ anzuschließen. Der junge Priester war von Theresias Ideen so fasziniert, daß er zu einem großen Befürworter des Plans wurde. Die beiden arbeiteten einige Monate lang zusammen und teilten einander Ideale und Vorschläge mit, um so schnell wie möglich das erste Haus der Unbeschuhten Karmeliten zu eröffnen: Die Eröffnung fand am 28. Dezember 1568 in Duruelo statt, einem einsamen Ort in der Provinz Ávila. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Udf3wRMMeqo/VlAM4KnCkpI/AAAAAAAAJak/OqM2C-rpzYA/s1600/Ioannes%2Ba%2BCruce.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Udf3wRMMeqo/VlAM4KnCkpI/AAAAAAAAJak/OqM2C-rpzYA/s400/Ioannes%2Ba%2BCruce.jpg" width="261" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Zusammen mit Johannes bildeten drei weitere Gefährten diese erste reformierte männliche Gemeinschaft. Bei der Erneuerung ihrer Ordensprofeß nach der ursprünglichen Regel nahmen die vier einen neuen Namen an: <b>Johannes<span> </span>hieß jetzt „vom Kreuz“</b>, wie man ihn später weltweit kennen wird. Ende 1572 wurde er auf Bitte der hl. Theresia Beichtvater und Kaplan des Klosters der Menschwerdung in Ávila, wo die Heilige Priorin war. Es waren Jahre enger Zusammenarbeit und geistlicher Freundschaft, die beide bereicherte. Auf diese Zeit gehen auch die wichtigsten Theresianischen Werke und die ersten Schriften des Johannes zurück.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Die Mitwirkung an der Reform des Karmelordens war nicht leicht und brachte für Johannes auch schwere Leiden mit sich. Das traumatischste Ereignis, im Jahre 1577, war seine Entführung und seine Kerkerhaft im Konvent der Karmeliten der Alten Observanz in Toledo infolge einer falschen Anklage. Der Heilige blieb monatelang eingekerkert und war physischen und seelischen Entbehrungen und Nötigungen ausgesetzt. Hier verfaßte er zusammen mit anderen Gedichten den berühmten Geistlichen Gesang. In der Nacht vom 16. auf den 17. August 1578 gelang ihm schließlich eine abenteuerliche Flucht; er fand Zuflucht im Kloster der Unbeschuhten Karmelitinnen der Stadt. </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Die hl. Theresia und die reformierten Gefährten feierten seine Befreiung mit großer Freude. Nach einer kurzen Zeit der Erholung wurde Johannes, um wieder zu Kräften zu kommen, nach Andalusien gesandt, wo er zehn Jahre in verschiedenen Klöstern verbrachte, vor allem in Granada. Er übernahm immer wichtigere Aufgaben im Orden, bis hin zum Provinzvikar, und vollendete seine geistlichen Abhandlungen. Dann kehrte er in seine Heimatregion zurück als Mitglied der Generalleitung der Theresianischen Ordensfamilie, die nunmehr völlige rechtliche Autonomie genoß. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Er wohnte im Karmel von Segovia, wo er das Amt des Oberen der Gemeinschaft innehatte. 1591 wurde er aller Verantwortungen enthoben und sollte in die neue Ordensprovinz Mexiko entsandt werden. Während er sich mit zehn weiteren Gefährten auf die lange Reise vorbereitete, zog er sich in ein einsames Kloster in Jaén zurück, wo er schwer krank wurde. Johannes nahm große Leiden mit vorbildlicher Ruhe und Geduld auf sich. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Er starb in der Nacht vom 13. auf den 14. Dezember 1591, während seine Mitbrüder die Matutin beteten.

Seine vier Hauptwerke sind: </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Aufstieg auf den Berg Karmel, </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Die dunkle Nacht, </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Der geistliche Gesang </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">und<b> </b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Die lebendige Flamme der Liebe</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Im Geistlichen Gesang</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> legt der hl. Johannes den Weg der Reinigung der Seele dar, also den allmählichen freudigen Besitz Gottes, bis die Seele schließlich spürt, daß sie Gott mit derselben Liebe liebt, mit der sie von ihm geliebt wird. Die lebendige Flamme der Liebe fährt in dieser Perspektive fort und beschreibt detaillierter den Zustand der umwandelnden Vereinigung mit Gott. Als Vergleich gebraucht Johannes stets das Feuer: Je mehr das Feuer brennt und das Holz verzehrt, desto mehr glüht es auf und wird schließlich zur Flamme. Ebenso erleuchtet und erwärmt der Heilige Geist, der in der dunklen Nacht die Seele reinigt und »läutert«, diese mit der Zeit, als wäre sie eine Flamme. Das Leben der Seele ist ein ständiges Fest des Heiligen Geistes, das die Herrlichkeit der Vereinigung mit Gott in der Ewigkeit erkennen läßt.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Der Aufstieg auf den Berg Karmel</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> zeigt den geistlichen Weg unter dem Aspekt der allmählichen Reinigung der Seele, die notwendig ist, um zum höchsten Punkt der christlichen Vollkommenheit zu gelangen, symbolisiert durch den Gipfel des Berges Karmel. Diese Reinigung ist als ein Weg dargestellt, den der Mensch unternimmt, indem er mit dem göttlichen Wirken zusammenarbeitet, um die Seele von jeder Anhänglichkeit oder Zuneigung, die dem Willen Gottes entgegensteht, zu befreien. Die Reinigung, die vollkommen sein muß, um zur liebenden Vereinigung mit Gott zu gelangen, beginnt bei der des sinnlichen Lebens und wird fortgesetzt durch die, die man durch die drei göttlichen Tugenden erlangt – Glaube, Hoffnung und Liebe –, die das Streben, das Gedächtnis und den Willen reinigen.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Die dunkle Nacht</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> beschreibt den »passiven« Aspekt, also das Wirken Gottes in diesem Prozeß der „Reinigung“ der Seele. Die menschliche Anstrengung allein ist nämlich unfähig, bis zu den tiefsten Wurzeln der Neigungen und der schlechten Gewohnheiten der Person zu gelangen: Sie kann sie nur zügeln, aber nicht völlig ausrotten. Um das zu tun bedarf es des besonderen Wirkens Gottes, der den Geist bis auf den Grund reinigt und ihn für die liebende Vereinigung mit ihm bereitmacht. Der hl. Johannes bezeichnet diese Reinigung als »passiv«, denn obgleich die Seele sie annimmt, wird sie umgesetzt durch das geheimnisvolle Wirken des Heiligen Geistes, der wie eine Feuerflamme jede Unreinheit vertilgt. In diesem Zustand wird die Seele allen möglichen Prüfungen unterzogen, als befände sie sich in einer dunklen Nacht.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Diese Angaben zu den Hauptwerken des Heiligen helfen uns, uns den wesentlichen Punkten seiner umfassenden und tiefen mystischen Lehre zu nähern, deren Ziel es ist, einen sicheren Weg darzulegen, um zur Heiligkeit zu gelangen, dem Zustand der Vollkommenheit, zu dem Gott uns alle beruft. Johannes vom Kreuz zufolge ist alles, was existiert, was von Gott geschaffen ist, gut. Durch die Geschöpfe können wir den entdecken, der in ihnen eine Spur seiner selbst hinterlassen hat. Der Glaube ist jedoch die einzige Quelle, die dem Menschen geschenkt ist, um Gott so kennenzulernen, wie er in sich selbst ist, als den einen und dreifaltigen Gott. Alles, was Gott dem Menschen mitteilen wollte, hat er in Jesus Christus gesagt, seinem fleischgewordenen Wort. Jesus Christus ist der einzige und endgültige Weg zum Vater (vgl. Joh 14,6). Alles Erschaffene ist nichts im Vergleich zu Gott, und nichts hat Wert außer ihm: Folglich muß jede andere Liebe, um zur vollkommenen Liebe Gottes zu gelangen, sich in Christus der göttlichen Liebe angleichen.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Daher <b>besteht der hl. Johannes immer wieder auf der Notwendigkeit der Reinigung und der inneren Entäußerung, um mit Gott, dem einzigen Ziel der Vollkommenheit, gleichgestaltet zu werden</b>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Diese „Reinigung“ besteht nicht einfach nur in der physischen Abwesenheit der Dinge und ihres Gebrauchs; was die Seele rein und frei macht, ist vielmehr <b>die Beseitigung jeder ungeordneten Abhängigkeit von den Dingen. Alles muß in Gott als Mittelpunkt und Ziel des Lebens hineingestellt werden.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Der lange und mühsame Prozeß der Reinigung erfordert natürlich die persönliche Anstrengung, aber der wahre Hauptakteur ist Gott: </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Alles, was der Mensch tun kann, ist, sich „bereit“ zu machen, für das göttliche Wirken offen zu sein und ihm keine Hindernisse entgegenzustellen. Indem er die göttlichen Tugenden lebt, erhebt sich der Mensch und verleiht seinen eigenen Bemühungen Wert. Der Rhythmus, in dem der Glaube, die Hoffnung und die Liebe wachsen, geht im Gleichschritt einher mit der Reinigung und der allmählichen Vereinigung mit Gott bis hin zur Gleichgestaltung mit ihm. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L-7CTbet8vc/VlANIBz1y4I/AAAAAAAAJas/TTBgefH12Z4/s1600/Johannes_vom_Kreuz_Kreuzbild%2Beine%2B%2BFederzeichnung%2Bvon%2Bwenigen%2BQuadratzentimetern.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L-7CTbet8vc/VlANIBz1y4I/AAAAAAAAJas/TTBgefH12Z4/s400/Johannes_vom_Kreuz_Kreuzbild%2Beine%2B%2BFederzeichnung%2Bvon%2Bwenigen%2BQuadratzentimetern.jpg" width="317" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Wenn man zu diesem Ziel gelangt, dann wird die Seele in das dreifaltige Leben hineingenommen: So sagt der hl. Johannes, daß sie dahin gelangt, Gott mit derselben Liebe zu lieben, mit der auch Er sie liebt, denn er liebt sie im Heiligen Geist. Daher hält der Kirchenlehrer der Mystik daran fest, daß es keine wahre liebende Vereinigung mit Gott gibt, die nicht in der dreifaltigen Vereinigung ihren Höhepunkt findet. In diesem erhabenen Zustand erkennt die heilige Seele alles in Gott und muß nicht mehr den Weg über die Geschöpfe gehen, um zu ihm zu gelangen. Die Seele fühlt sich nunmehr von der göttlichen Liebe überflutet und erfreut sich völlig in ihr.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Liebe Brüder und Schwestern, am Ende bleibt die Frage: Hat dieser Heilige mit seiner hohen Mystik, mit diesem mühsamen Weg zum Gipfel der Vollkommenheit auch uns etwas zu sagen, dem gewöhnlichen Christen in den heutigen Lebensverhältnissen, oder ist er nur ein Beispiel, ein Vorbild für wenige auserwählte Seelen, die diesen Weg der Reinigung, des mystischen Aufstiegs wirklich unternehmen können? Um die Antwort zu finden, müssen wir uns vor allem vor Augen halten, daß das Leben des hl. Johannes vom Kreuz kein „Schweben auf mystischen Wolken“ war, sondern ein sehr hartes, sehr praktisches und sehr konkretes Leben – als Reformator des Ordens, wo er vielen Widerständen begegnete, als Provinzoberer und auch im Kerker seiner Mitbrüder, wo er unglaublichen Schmähungen und physischen Mißhandlungen ausgesetzt war. Es war ein hartes Leben, aber gerade in den Monaten, die er im Kerker verbrachte, hat er eines seiner schönsten Werke geschrieben. Und so können wir verstehen, daß der Weg mit Christus, das Unterwegssein mit Christus – dem „Weg“ – keine Last ist, die der Mühsal unseres Leben, die schon hart genug ist, noch zusätzlich aufgebürdet wird, daß es nichts ist, was diese Mühsal noch schwerer macht, sondern etwas ganz anderes: ein Licht, eine Kraft, die uns hilft, diese Mühsal zu tragen.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Wenn ein Mensch eine große Liebe in sich trägt, dann verleiht diese Liebe ihm gleichsam Flügel, und er erträgt alle Beschwernisse des Lebens leichter, weil er dieses große Licht in sich trägt. Das ist der Glaube: von Gott geliebt zu sein und sich von Gott in Jesus Christus lieben zu lassen. Dieses Sich-Lieben-Lassen ist das Licht, das uns hilft, die tägliche Mühsal zu tragen. Und die Heiligkeit ist nicht unser Werk, ein sehr schwieriges Werk, sondern sie ist genau diese „Öffnung“: die Fenster unserer Seele zu öffnen, damit das Licht Gottes eintreten kann, Gott nicht zu vergessen, denn gerade in der Öffnung gegenüber seinem Licht findet man Kraft, findet man die Freude der Erlösten. Bitten wir den Herrn, daß er uns helfen möge, diese Heiligkeit zu finden, sich von Gott lieben zu lassen, was unser aller Berufung ist und die wahre Erlösung. Danke.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Papst Benedikt XVI.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Generalaudienz am Mittwoch, 16.
