Before the Last Conclave: "What I Told the Future Pope"
My fav. from Cardinal Biffi's book on their time in the conclave and his comments to the soon to be elected pope:
My fav. from Cardinal Biffi's book on their time in the conclave and his comments to the soon to be elected pope:
"1. After hearing all of the statements - correct, opportune, impassioned - that have been made here, I would like to express to the future pope (who is listening to me now) my complete solidarity, concord, understanding, and even a bit of my fraternal compassion. But I would also like to suggest to him that he not be too worried about what he has heard here, and that he not be too frightened. The Lord Jesus will not ask him to resolve all the world's problems. He will ask him to love him with extraordinary love: 'Do you love me more than these?' (cf. John 21:15).
GO HOLY SPIRIT GO!
I don't know if this book is available stateside tho... = (
In Iowa:Report: Illegal workers no burden
The real reason we have an illegal immigration situation...$$$ and votes! Duh...
The $40 million paid to the state treasury by undocumented workers would increase if more of them worked "on the books" and if the state cracked down on employers paying cash and not withholding taxes, the researchers said.
"If Iowa wants to increase state tax revenue, it can do it two ways," said Pearson. "By increasing the percentage of workers paying tax on their income or by increasing the workers' wages."

Something's not right....why isn't that an issue for our Defense Departments or our Homeland Security? Something's REALLY wrong with these statement!There's an effort to try to get North America more prosperous to continue in the global economy, and maybe be prepared to deal with cross-border emergencies so if something happened at this bridge or the Ambassador Bridge it wouldn't shut the border down. Or with an avian flu epidemic, we could help each other out. Or make more compatible our regulations so we don't bog each other down with red tape."

St. Joseph's pastor, the Rev. Ron Barker, removed the books, declaring that the themes of witchcraft and sorcery were inappropriate for a Catholic school.
"He said that he thought most children were strong enough to resist the temptation," said one mother who asked that her name not be used because she did not want her family to be singled out. "But he said it's his job to protect the weak and the strong."

Fr. Euteneuer sees ‘Irony’ in Archbishop of Canterbury’s Abortion Statement
FRONT ROYAL, VA — The Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, STL, president of Human Life International, (HLI) today remarked on an op-ed appearing in the British publication The Observer on October 21, entitled, “Britain's abortion debate lacks a moral dimension” by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams.
Father Euteneuer said, “While not agreeing with everything Dr. Williams said, I certainly appreciate his comments on the tragedy of abortion in commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the British Abortion Act. He is certainly correct about the moral ‘slippage’ that has occurred, where abortion is viewed far more casually today than was foreseen in 1967.”
“However,” Fr. Euteneuer said, “As a Roman Catholic priest I see a genuine irony in his comments. At one point Dr. Williams asks, ‘We may well ask what has happened’ in regard to this slippage. For a Roman Catholic what has happened is all too clear: In 1930 The Church of England was the first Christian church to allow the separation of procreation from the marital act in the Lambeth decision on contraception and gave endorsement, even if unwittingly, to future policies which would allow the killing of children. It's a small step from excluding children from sex to expelling children from the womb.” Fr. Euteneuer said.
“The ‘slippage’ Dr. Williams speaks of is precisely what Pope Pius XI warned of in the Papal encyclical, Castii Conubii, issued in response to Lambeth, and what Pope Paul VI reiterated in his 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae. These popes said that the widespread use of contraception would lead to ‘a general lowering of morality’. By now we see this in our entire society. On the social as well as the personal levels, contraception and abortion are two sides of the same bad penny.” Fr. Euteneuer said.
He continued, “If you think it through, Dr. Williams’s comments on our current moral climate tend to vindicate the Roman Catholic position on birth control as still the only realistic position if we hope to restore moral sanity. HLI hopes that all good-willed people will take a hard look at how we got where we are today and recognize the role contraception played in it. It is my prayer that the centuries-old Christian consensus on the sin of contraception, which all but vanished at Lambeth, will be restored.”

PRAYER ALERT: Research in "womb-on-a-chip"
Scientists try to build a better 'womb' for IVF
"10 mouse eggs on a razor-thin microchip lined with a "bed" of cultured uterus tissue."
Teruo Fujii and his colleagues believe their "womb-on-a-chip" is superior to growing embryos in the static environment of a Petri dish, the way in-vitro fertilization clinics now prepare embryos for implantation into a mother's womb. Eventually, they hope it will lead to better outcomes for infertile women.

'WEEPING' STATUES MAY REFER TO TROUBLES IN CHURCH AS FOCUS IS ON RENEGADE PARISH

Please don't cry 'Momma'...we'll make it better...we'll pray more and accept our crosses for love of HIM and YOU!

Is this part of the 'plan'?
Lay Catholics step up during priest shortage
[snip]
Well apparently, she sees this for the future....hmmmm...'plan'....?
Well there ya' go....it is the 'plan'.
I pray and hope so!Gautier considers the emergence of people in this role a stop-gap measure. "It's not like all parishes are going to be replaced by lay people," Gautier said. "It's to help them out until there's such a time as there's enough priests to go around."
With Minninger empowered as a pastoral minister, she's not only able to counsel church members but can pick up such duties as preaching, presiding over funerals and baptizing children when a priest isn't available.
[snip]
Well apparently, she sees this for the future....hmmmm...'plan'....?
But Minninger said her family fully supports her new career, and its rewards far outweigh its challenges. "I would hope that in this position that I or anyone else in this ministry will be able to model for other people the many ways that you can serve in the church," she said. "I do see this as a part of the future of the church."
Well there ya' go....it is the 'plan'.

Catholic group accused of not supporting abuse victims
And since they've got no where else to go on issues...why not jump on the same old worn out issue---Allowing married priests may be group’s next goal
"Rev. Richard McBrien, a theologian at the University of Notre Dame and a longtime friend of the group"... again visits...celibacy:
Nah....the issue is HOLINESS and Mr. Hayes hits it (DITTO!) :
And since they've got no where else to go on issues...why not jump on the same old worn out issue---Allowing married priests may be group’s next goal
"Rev. Richard McBrien, a theologian at the University of Notre Dame and a longtime friend of the group"... again visits...celibacy:
There is another reason as well for reconsidering the rule, he said. In such a pool of men for whom lifelong celibacy is not a problem there is bound to be a disproportionate number of “sexually immature or sexually dysfunctional candidates,” he said. Opening the door of the priesthood to married men would broaden the pool of quality candidates, he said.
Nah....the issue is HOLINESS and Mr. Hayes hits it (DITTO!) :
Michael Hayes, managing editor of a Web site, BustedHalo.com, and author of Googling God, offered members in a workshop yesterday some of the challenges that Voice of the Faithful faces in trying to reach out to younger Catholics, particularly those in the so-called Millennium Generation, born after 1980.
In contrast to the Voice of the Faithful members, who are often perceived as more distrustful of authority, including church leaders, the Millenniums, said Hayes, are far more trusting of civil and church authority. They are more likely to get involved in helping one’s neighbor not because it’s a nice thing to do but because it is what Jesus asks of them, and far more comfortable than Baby Boomers to pray alone before the Blessed Sacrament and to seek out a priest for confession — all things the Voice of the Faithful members need to appreciate more if they’re ever going to reach a new generation.
