Jesus consecrates us in truth as he sends us forth to Christianize the world in His name. For some 2,000 years, the Christian community has engaged in missionary outreach spreading the Good News of the Gospel — spreading the truth that God is our Father, Jesus is our Savior, and the Holy Spirit accompanies us on our pilgrimage through life until we cross over the threshold of death, and are united with Christ in the truth of his Kingdom which never ends. The truths of our faith are found in the tradition of the Church, just as they are inscribed and enshrined in the Scriptures and have been proclaimed for millennia. The “truth” of Jesus’s saving Word in Scripture is a record of many of the extraordinary things he said and did during His time on this earth. Also part of that record are the Epistles of Paul, James, John, and the Acts of the Apostles. The faith community grew reflecting on the Word of God in the Scriptures, and was nourished by Jesus’s saving actions in the Sacraments. We appreciate and derive much benefit from reading about and studying the events that befell that first Christian community in the Acts of the Apostles. We recognize how important it is to chronicle the “history” of what

In a second speech the same day, the Pope also told the Council of Europe that human trafficking was the new slavery of our age, depriving its victims of all dignity. The Holy Father was speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg during a brief visit meant to highlight his vision for Europe a quarter-century after St John Paul II travelled there to address a continent still divided by the Iron Curtain. “Despite talk of human rights, too many people are treated as objects in Europe: unborn, terminally ill, and the elderly,” the Pope told MEPs. “We’re too tempted to throwaway lives we don’t see as ‘useful.’ Upholding the dignity of the person means acknowledging the value of the gift of human life.” He said that ‘killing [children]… before they’re born is the great mistake that happens when technology is allowed to take over’ and is ‘the Pope Francis shakes hands with Martin Schulz, inevitable consequence of a throwaway culture.’ president of the European Parliament, while visiting the European Parliament in Strasbourg I Continued on page 6 Galloway’s bishop-elect in prayer call I Fr William Nolan, ‘gobsmacked’ over Pope Francis’ appointment, asks for parishioners to pray for him By Ian Dunn seeds of Faith so long ago,” The new bishop added that his experience in many pastoral situations, He said he was glad that his ordination parishioners were delighted for him.

  • The Chinese Civil War (1927–37 and 1946–49)
    13 CIVIL WAR CASE STUDY 2: THE CHINESE CIVIL WAR (1927–37 AND 1946–49) As you read this chapter you need to focus on the following essay questions: • Analyze the causes of the Chinese Civil War. • To what extent was the communist victory in China due to the use of guerrilla warfare? • In what ways was the Chinese Civil War a revolutionary war? For the first half of the 20th century, China faced political chaos. Following a revolution in 1911, which overthrew the Manchu dynasty, the new Republic failed to take hold and China continued to be exploited by foreign powers, lacking any strong central government. The Chinese Civil War was an attempt by two ideologically opposed forces – the nationalists and the communists – to see who would ultimately be able to restore order and regain central control over China. The struggle between these two forces, which officially started in 1927, was interrupted by the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war in 1937, but started again in 1946 once the war with Japan was over. The results of this war were to have a major effect not just on China itself, but also on the international stage.

  • Glitter Text
    All That Glitters – Spark and Dazzle from the Permananent Collection co-curated by Janine LeBlanc and Roger Manley Randy and Susan Woodson Gallery January 23 – July 12, 2020 Through the ages, every human society has demonstrated a fascination with shiny objects. Necklaces made of glossy marine snail shells have been dated back nearly 135,000 years, while shiny crystals have been found in prehistoric burials, suggesting the allure they once held for their original owners. The pageantry of nearly every religion has long been enhanced by dazzling displays, from the gilded statues of Buddhist temples and the gleaming mosaics of Muslim mosques and Byzantine churches, to the bejeweled altarpieces and reliquaries of Gothic cathedrals. As both kings and gods, Hawaiian and Andean royalty alike donned garments entirely covered with brilliant feathers to proclaim their significance, while their counterparts in other cultures wore crowns of gold and gems. High status and desirability have always been signaled by the transformative effects of reflected light. Recent research indicates that our brains may be hard-wired to associate glossy surfaces with water (tinyurl.com/glossy-as-water). If so, the impulse drawing us toward them may have evolved as a survival mechanism. There may also be subconscious associations with other survival necessities. Gold has been linked to fire or the sun, the source of heat, light, and plant growth. The glitter of beads or sequins may evoke nighttime stars needed for finding one’s way. The flash of jewels may recall an instinctive association with eyes. In jungles as well as open grasslands, both prey and predator can be so well camouflaged that only the glint of an eye might reveal a lurking presence.

  • Frequently Asked Questions About the Catholicity of Alpha
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CATHOLICITY OF ALPHA The following article addresses frequently asked questions about the Catholicity of the Alpha course. Among these, some have asked, “Why is the Diocese of Green Bay using the Alpha course when Alpha did not originate in the Catholic Church?” In this document are four questions and answers to be aware of on how the Alpha course can support our discipleship efforts in the Catholic Church. Recall that the four step discipleship process in the Diocese of Green Bay is as follows: 1. Discover Jesus. 2 Follow Jesus. 3. Worship Jesus. Share Jesus. These questions are detailed below. Page 1: Did Alpha originate in the Catholic Church? Page 2: If the Catholic Church teaches that the Church of Christ exists fully only in the Catholic Church (Dominus Iesus, no. 14), then why is the Diocese of Green Bay using a non-Catholic resource? Page 3: Why is there an “Alpha in a Catholic Context”? What gaps does the “Catholic context” part of Alpha address? Page 4: Are members of the Catholic hierarchy and other key Catholic leaders endorsing Alpha? 1. Did Alpha originate in the Catholic Church? Alpha was founded in 1977 by Reverend Charles Marnham at Holy Trinity Brompton, an Anglican parish in London. However, Nicky Gumbel, an Anglican priest, oversaw the development and expansion of the Alpha course starting from the 1980’s to the present day. However, it sometimes takes an “outsider” to show us “insiders” how wise the Catholic Church is in her teachings. Incidentally, what Nicky Gumbel effectively integrated into the Alpha course are several discipleship principles and practices as taught by the Catholic Church.

  • Reverend Joseph D. Karabin
    Reverend Joseph D. Karabin Biographical Information YEAR OF BIRTH: 1947 YEAR OF DEATH: N/A ORDINATION: May 4, 1974 Employment/Assignment History 1974 - 1979 Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Midland, PA 1979 - 1980 St. Joan of Arc, Library, PA 1980 St. Joseph the Worker, New Castle, PA 1980 - 1981 Holy Name, Duquesne, PA 1981 - 1986 St. Albert the Great, Baldwin, PA 1986 - 2002 Braddock Hospital, Braddock , PA Summary In March 1980, the Diocese of Pittsburgh received a report from a victim who was sexually abused by Father Joseph D. Karabin while Karabin was assigned to St. Joan of Arc. Bishop Vincent Leonard then sent a letter to the House of Affirmation, a treatment center, notifying them that Karabin would arrive on March 25, 1980 for an evaluation with respect to the "incident" which Leonard advised he did not want to describe in the letter. Karabin was returned to active ministry after he completed treatment. In March, 1985, Father Raymond Froelich, Pastor of St. Albert the Great where Karabin was assigned as Parochial Vicar, notified Bishop Bevilacqua of another child whom Father Karabin had sexually abused. On March 7, 1985, two memorandums by Bishop Bosco documented a meeting held between himself and Karabin in with respect to the new report. Bosco advised Karabin that he would have to be reassigned due to the complaint. Karabin agreed, but "did not seem happy" with the possibility that his reassignment may not be immediate due to this being a "recurrence of a previous problem." According to Karabin, this "latest incident" was caused by stress he was under from not having his own pastorate.
