Fraser Catholic News Service LIMA, Peru — Pope Francis’ encyclical on ecology and climate, released this week, will send a strong moral message — one that could make some readers uncom- fortable, some observers say. “The encyclical will address the issue of inequality in the distribution of resources and topics such as the wasting of food and the irresponsible exploitation of na- ture and the consequences for people’s life and health,” Archbishop Pedro Barreto Jimeno of Huancayo, Peru, told Catholic News Service. “Pope Francis has repeatedly stated that the environ- ment is not only an economic or political issue, but is an anthropological and ethical matter,” he said. “How can you have wealth if it comes at the expense of the suffer- ing and death of other people and the deterioration of the environment?” The encyclical, published June 18, is titled “Laudato Si’: On the Care of Our Common Home,” which trans- lates “praised be,” the first words of St. Francis’ “Canticle of the Creatures.” Although Archbishop Barreto was not involved in the drafting of the encyclical, he worked closely with then-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio in 2007 on a document by the Latin American bishops’ council that included an Continued on page 12 HCH photo | Darlene Dela Cruz 2 HAWAII HAWAII CATHOLIC HERALD • JUNE 19, 2015 Hawaii Catholic Herald Newspaper of the Diocese of Honolulu Founded in 1936 Published every other Friday PUBLISHER Bishop Larry Silva (808) 585-3356 [email protected] Walking the EDITOR Patrick Downes extra mile (808) 585-3317 About 100 people [email protected] walked from the Co- REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER Cathedral of St. Theresa Darlene J.M.

JUNE 19, 2015 • HAWAII CATHOLIC HERALD HAWAII 3 Bishop expects a priest at Kalaupapa for the ‘foreseeable future’ By Patrick Downes Hawaii Catholic Herald Shortly after St. Damien made his historic first step onto the shore of Kalaupapa on May 10, 1873, and assessed the situation, he informed his superior, Bishop Louis Maigret, that the banished community of Hawaii’s Hansen’s disease patients to which he had been temporarily assigned need- ed a permanent resident priest. There has been one ever since. Today, as the settlement antic- ipates a future without patients, Bishop Larry Silva fully expects a Catholic priest will remain there “into the foreseeable future.” He expressed that thought and others in a June 3 letter to the National Park Service which is drafting a management plan for the future of Kalaupapa Na- tional Historical Park.

El crecimiento en equidad exige algo más que el crecimiento económico, aunque lo supone, requiere decisiones, programas, mecanismos y procesos específicamente orientados a una mejor distribución del ingreso, a una creación de fuentes de trabajo, a una promoción integral de los pobres que supere el mero asistencialismo. Estoy lejos de proponer un populi - smo irresponsable, pero la economía ya no puede recurrir a remedios que son un nuevo veneno, como cuando se pretende aumentar la rentabilidad reduciendo el mercado laboral y creando así nuevos excluidos. We can no longer trust in the unseen forces and the invisible hand of the market. Growth in justice requires more than economic growth, while presupposing such growth: it requires decisions, programmes, mechanisms and processes specifically geared to a better distribution of income, the creation of sources of employment and an integral promotion of the poor which goes beyond a simple welfare mentality. I am far from proposing an irresponsible populism, but the economy can no longer turn to remedies that are a new poison, such as attempting to increase profits by reducing the work force and thereby adding to the ranks of the excluded.

  • Linda Lehman Receives the Damien-Dutton Award for 2014
    LINDA LEHMAN RECEIVES THE DAMIEN-DUTTON AWARD FOR 2014 The International Leprosy Association is proud to announce that Linda Lehman OTR/L, MPH, C.Ped has been selected to receive the prestigious Damien-Dutton Award for 2014. Lehman has been selected for making a significant and lasting contribution to the global fight against leprosy. For more than three decades, she has travelled the world providing technical expertise and training on prevention of disability to everyone from ministries of health to community health workers. The award was created by the Damien-Dutton Society for Leprosy Aid, Inc., a non- profit organization dedicated to ridding the world of leprosy. It is named after both Father Damien, a Belgian priest, canonized in 2009 for the care he gave to people affected by leprosy on the island of Molokai, Hawaii, and after Joseph Dutton, a U.S. civilian war veteran, who helped Father Damien. Every year since 1953, the Damien-Dutton Society has presented an award to a notable person who has made a significant contribution towards the conquest of leprosy. Past award recipients include John F. Kennedy (posthumously), Dr Paul and Dr Margaret Brand and Mother Teresa. American Leprosy Missions received the award in 1981. An American Leprosy Missions’ Senior Advisor for Morbidity Management & Disability Prevention, Ms. Lehman is trained as an occupational therapist, has a Master of Public Health degree from Emory University and a certification in pedorthics. She has developed training materials endorsed by the World Health Organization and the International Federation of Anti-Leprosy Associations (ILEP). Linda Lehman has strong links with Brazil and its National Leprosy Control Program where she served as advisor in her field of expertise for several years.

  • Abstract the Catholic Witness During Memphis
    ABSTRACT THE CATHOLIC WITNESS DURING MEMPHIS YELLOW FEVER EPIDEMICS OF THE 1870s: A DESCRIPTION AND VINDICATION Elisabeth C. Sims Director: Dr. Micheal Foley, Ph.D. In the 1870s, several yellow fever epidemics struck Memphis causing a calamity that shook the entire United States. The yellow fever epidemics in Memphis were some of the deadliest and most terrifying events of American urban history, killing more people than the Chicago Fire, San Francisco earthquake, and the Johnstown flood combined. A disaster for both the city and the region with implications for medical history, social history, and economic history, the yellow fever epidemics are of interest from a variety of historical perspectives and serve as a locus of research for a variety of disciplines. This project will examine historical narratives that describe the ways in which Catholic religious groups in Memphis responded to this crisis, and it will seek to discern how the underreported Catholic narrative of epidemics contributes something distinctive to Memphis history.
