From the Archives First Communion at St. Rita

These youngsters made up a first Communion class at St. Rita Parish in the late 1940s or early 1950s. Society of the Divine Word Father Vincent Smith is in the rear on the left. To his left is Father Raymond Gates, assistant pastor, and Father Bernard Strange can be seen in the rear on the right. Father Strange was administrator of the parish from 1935-1947 and pastor from 1947-1973. St. Rita, which was organized in 1918, is the mother church of African-Americans in the arch- diocese. †

Church teaching on homosexuality needs no apology VATICAN CITY (CNS)— The Catholic Church cannot apologize for its teaching about homosexuality because that teaching flows from the truth, said an article in the Vatican newspaper. Franciscan Father Gino Concetti, writing in L’Osser- vatore Romano, said people who had wanted or expected Pope John Paul II to apolo- gize for the way the Catholic Church has treated homosex- uals do not understand Catholic moral teaching. “A distinction between the person and his actions or concrete behavior is funda- mental in the Catholic This Ad Is Church,” Father Concetti wrote in early April. “A person is always to be Camera Ready! loved and helped to grow in humanity and freedom,” he St. Francis said. But, an error “being a negation of the truth is always to be refuted because it is 1844 detrimental to justice and to right.” 5x10 Father Concetti’s article responded to gay rights Neg organizations which said the pope should have apologized to homosexuals during the March 12 liturgy in which he asked forgiveness for the sins committed by members of the Church in the past. The claims of some groups that homosexuals formed a disproportionate number of the victims of the Inquisition “are exagger- ated,” he said. Father Concetti said schol- ars at a Vatican-sponsored symposium on the Inquisition concluded that “the category of homosexual persons was not a particular target of Inquisition tribunals.” However, he said, “this certainly does not justify” the actions of anyone at any- time who attacked or unjustly discriminated against homosexuals. † Page 14 The Criterion Friday, April 28, 2000
