ARCHBISHOP’S COLUMN MOST REV. CHARLES J. CHAPUT O.F.M. CAP. Mount Loretto: faith in action Catholic community’s cooperative effort provides housing to struggling families

Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments” (Jn 14:15). Real love is never just a feeling. It always involves self- sacrifice and action. Being a disciple means seeing Christ in the people around us. It also means serving their needs, especially the needs of the poor. This is why the Church has always made herself active in the public square. It’s also why she can never re- move herself from the discussion of public issues with a moral dimension without betraying her mission.

Every other right depends Mount Loretto housing complex offers on the right to life for its foundation.

It was a remarkable perform- ance that earned the respect of everyone in Rome. At the same time, he launched a series of initiatives that deepened the conversation between the U.S. Government and the Vatican on key global issues of mutual concern. One of the gravest human rights abuses of the early 21st century is the awful practice of trafficking in persons, usually for purposes of sexual exploitation. Jim Nicholson brought the trafficking issue to Rome and compelled the representa- tives of countries that might prefer to ignore the issue to face it squarely, in all its moral squalor and human drama. Ambassador Nicholson did the same in addressing the question of genetically-modified foods. Working with the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Nicholson staged an international conference that usefully challenged European protectionists and western anti-corporate ac- tivists more inclined to scratch their ideological itches than to see Odo was born of Danish poor people fed; as the once-poor and hungry Nicholson put it in a parents in East Anglia.
