Fish Fry Fridays 18 T HE S PIRIT P A G E 2 Grand Knight’s Message Anyone hungry? How about some...fish? Lent is here and that means our Council is once again hosting Fish Fry Fridays in the St. John’s Assembly Room and gym. One of the last things we did as a Council before February ended was hold our first Fish Fry of the year. We had a good turnout, and lots of help! Thank you to all of those that helped, I know Obie Obregon surely appreciated the help on his first night as the Fish Fry chairman. So, why no meat on Friday during lent? The answer should be obvious. Abstaining from meat is a penance im- posed by the Church to commemorate the day of the Crucifixion of Our Lord. But, are you aware that the Fri- day abstinence rule is still in effect throughout the entire year? Technically, The the consumption of meat is allowed only if some other sacrifice or good work was substituted in its place. Well now. What sort of penance have you been doing since last year’s Lent? I guess praying the Stations of the Cross, saying extra Rosaries, or some other additional similar offering are in my future if I want that big ol’ juicy burger on Friday once Lent is over. Did you know that the Catholic practice of abstaining from meat on Friday was the reason for the creation of McDonald’s Filet-o-Fish sandwich? Because hamburger sales dropped off noticeably on Fridays, the owner of the franchise in Cincinnati introduced the new offering, and sales picked up again. Wow! When do you think we as Catholics had so much influence on society since then? The answer is every day! The way in which we choose to live our lives as Catholic gentlemen, and whether we choose to be firm in our convictions, can be influential. Imagine if all Catholics voted the same way on the issue of abortion, whether Republican or Democrat. Pick your issue. If Catholics acted as one, think of the possibilities! Oh, but think how “boring” life would be if we really lived out our Catholic faith. Do you think the most recent Superbowl halftime show would have occurred if modesty were more important than the so-called ‘dancing’ we saw? Television would be Hallmark Channel 24/7. College spring break would pale in comparison to today’s version. I could go on and on, and I’m sure you could come up with some examples of your own. The point is, we Catholics have become more tolerant of things that would have been seen as scandalous a few as 25 years ago. Tolerance has led to acceptance, and even to normalization of certain behaviors or actions. For example, when married couples felt they could not continue in their marriage, they divorced, but their divorce was done quietly so as to avoid scandal. Over the years, as more and more couples divorced, the break-up of marriages became less scandalous. Today, I’ve seen plenty of examples of young adults living together without getting married, as they don’t seem to understand marriage’s significance in society, or perhaps it’s just they fear commitment. I’ve seen that in my extended family and with co-workers. This month, as we move through Lent preparing ourselves for Easter, the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, most of us will be focused on giving up something we “can’t live without” as a Lenten sacrifice. Giving up that cup of Starbucks or your favorite chocolate is admirable, and can be a difficult proposition. However, rather than focusing on giving up something as a self-sacrifice, where do you think society would be if we actually lived out our Catholic faith more ardently? What do you think you can do for penance for eating meat on Fridays outside of Lent? Could it be something personal like reading up on your Catholic faith, or something more open like volunteering at some parish minis- try activity? Whatever you choose, I can almost guarantee you’ll get more out of your experience than what you put in. I’ve heard it said that Sundays are mini Easters. Although we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection on Easter Sunday, we do so each weekend at mass. If we commemorate Easter every Sunday, then wouldn't every Friday be like Good Friday? Abstaining from meat on every Friday would serve to pre- pare us each week for Jesus’ resurrection. It would be a good thing for our souls to prepare each week as we do each Lent. Tempus fugit, memento mori. Vivat Jesus! SK Mike Dellies, Grand Knight NEW EXEMPLICIATION CEREMONY Beginning this month, there will be a new exemplification ceremony to replace the First Degree and Major De- gree Ceremonies. The new ceremony will still incorporate a significant amount of the previous content, but will no longer be ‘secret’ and is open to all family members. Watch for more details as we get farther into the new calendar year.

  • Italy 2016 International Religious Freedom Report
    ITALY 2016 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution protects freedom of religion and the right of religious communities to establish their own institutions. The constitution specifies the state and the Catholic Church are independent, their relations governed by a concordat granting the Church a number of privileges and benefits, as well as financial support. Other religious groups must register to receive tax and other benefits. Registered groups may request an accord with the state that provides most of the same benefits granted the Catholic Church. Muslims continued to report difficulties in acquiring permission from local governments to construct mosques. The regional governments of Veneto and Liguria enacted laws restricting the construction of places of worship. Critics said the laws were aimed at Muslims. The Constitutional Court ruled a regional law on religious buildings adopted by Lombardy in 2015 was partially unconstitutional because it could make the establishment of new mosques or other religious buildings by non-Catholic groups more difficult. The city of Milan suspended the designation of sites for the construction of two mosques and a Protestant church announced by the previous mayor in 2015, although the newly elected mayor announced on October 17 a new mosque might be built within two years and the city might allow the construction of several smaller mosques. The city of Rome ordered the closure of five “garage mosques” of the Bangladeshi community between July and September, citing lack of authorizations and safety reasons. Some Bangladeshi Muslims protested the closures in October. The Ministry of Interior (MOI) created an Islamic advisory council to promote the integration of Muslims in society, and the interior minister made statements reaffirming the freedom of religion, including for Muslims.

    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI TO THE METROPOLITAN ARCHBISHOPS WHO RECEIVED THE PALLIUM ON THE SOLEMNITY OF THE HOLY APOSTLES PETER AND PAUL Paul VI Hall Saturday, 30 June 2012 Dear Brothers and Sisters, I am glad to address my cordial welcome to all of you who have accompanied to the Tombs of the Apostles in Rome the Metropolitan Archbishops upon whom I had the joy of conferring the Pallium yesterday at a solemn celebration in the Vatican Basilica at which we commemorated the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul. At our meeting let us, as it were, prolong the atmosphere of profound ecclesial communion which we experienced yesterday. Indeed, the presence of the Metropolitan Archbishops who come from different parts of the world visibly demonstrates the universality of the Church, called to make Christ known and to proclaim the Gospel on all the continents and in the various languages. I greet each one of you with affection, venerable and esteemed Brother Metropolitans, and together with you I greet your relatives, your friends and the faithful entrusted to your pastoral care who have gathered round you during these most important days. I also extend a cordial greeting to the dioceses you come from. I address my thoughts first of all to you, dear Pastors of the Church in Italy! I greet you, Archbishop Francesco Moraglia, Patriarch of Venice; I greet you, Archbishop Filippo Santoro of Taranto — as can be seen you have a large family of friends — and you, Archbishop Arrigo Miglio of Cagliari. I assure you of my constant prayers that you may carry out your episcopal ministry joyfully and faithfully, to build your diocesan communities in charity, sustaining them in the witness of faith and helping them to make more and more evident their renewed enthusiasm in the 2 encounter with the Person of Christ.
