  • Canonlaw No.1No.1
    CATHOLICS FOR A FREE CHOICE CATHOLICSCATHOLICS ANDAND ABORTIONABORTION NOTES ON CANONLAW NO.1NO.1 If you are interested in this subject, you might also be interested in the following CFFC publications on Catholics and reproductive choice: • You Are Not Alone—Information for Catholic Women about the Abortion Decision • Reflections of a Catholic Theologian on Visiting an Abortion Clinic, by Daniel C. Maguire • The Facts Tell the Story: Catholics and Choice For order information, please call +1 (202) 986-6093 or visit the publications section of our webpage www.catholicsforchoice.org 1 INTRODUCTION Canon law, the Catholic church’s internal law, is a subject most Catholics think they will never need to study. However, the hotly debated and politically polarized issue of abortion has resulted in substantial public assertions about canon law and abortion, both in the case of women who have had abortions and Catholic legislators and activists who have favored legal abortion. Everyone is an expert, claiming that prochoice Catholics are “heretics” or have been “excommunicated” because they have had an abortion or have supported legal abortion. Such finger pointing may be politically useful, but it is not an honest way to deal with differences of belief about abortion. What does the church’s law really say about abortion? We have produced this pamphlet to explain the basics of canon law as it relates to abortion and to clarify what church punishments apply and when they apply. Whether you are a woman who has had an abortion, a doctor who has performed an abortion, a clinic escort, a prochoice legislator, or an interested “person in the pew,” we hope this publication will help you.

  • Holy Communion and Unholy Politics
    JUNE 21, 2004 ISSUE Holy Communion and Unholy Politics The Rev. John P. Beal June 21, 2004 When Cardinal Francis Arinze, prefect of the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, was asked at a press conference in Rome on April 23 whether Senator John F. Kerry should be denied Communion, he responded: “The law of the church is clear. The church exists in the United States. There are bishops there, let them interpret it.” The flurry of conflicting statements prompted by the cardinal’s remark suggests that the law relevant to determining who can be barred from the reception of Communion may be clear, but its applicability to Senator Kerry (or any other politician) is not. Church Teaching and Politics The church’s magisterium has emphasized that politicians are not free to leave their moral principles in the cloakroom when they go to the floor of the legislature, or on the bus when they espouse public policy positions on the campaign trail. Pope John Paul II has clearly stated that all citizens, and by implication public officials, have “a grave and clear obligation to oppose” any law that attacks human life (Evangelium Vitae, No. 73). In a doctrinal note issued in 2002, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith gave the pope’s directive particular application to public officials. The note quotes from Evangelium Vitae (No. 73), “For them, as for every Catholic, it is impossible to promote such laws or to vote for them,” and then comments that nevertheless, when the politician’s personal opposition to abortion is a matter of record and it is impossible to overturn laws allowing abortion, it is permissible for politicians, as Evangelium Vitae says, “to support proposals aimed at limiting the harm done by such a law and at lessening its negative consequences at the level of general opinion or public morality.” In fact, most Catholic politicians in the United States more or less clearly assert their personal opposition to abortion, but this personal opposition is rarely put to the test in straight up-or-down votes on abortion or other life issues.

  • Chancery Training Day – Notes
    DIOCESE OF BRENTWOOD Chancery Training Day CHANCERY OFFICE Wednesday, 11th March 2020 Chancery Training Day Wednesday, 11th March 2020 Agenda: 1030: Coffee and Arrivals 1100: Welcome and Notices 1110: Preparing for Marriages I 1150: BREAK 1200: Preparing for Marriages II 1230: Parochial Registers and Archives 1300: Questions 1315: LUNCH 1400: Preparing for RCIA 1430: END Session One: Preparing for Marriages Paperwork basics: o The paperwork for marriage is to be done in the parish in which at least one of the parties resides. If the parties live separately they can choose to do the paperwork in either parish, not both (unless it is a one party application). Given that some (if not most) couples co-habit before marriage this means that independent of where the parties plan to marry, the paperwork needs to be done in the home parish. o Problems arise when those not regularly practicing don’t realise there is paperwork to be completed in the home parish and, if they are marrying outside the home parish/diocese, the cleric who is marrying them doesn’t mention anything. Perhaps parishes will consider a biennial announcement/notice to remind couples and families of this. o The Chancery Office will not process marriage papers sent in more than six months in advance of the wedding date. In the peak season it may not be possible to process papers sent in fewer than six to eight weeks before the wedding date. Please contact us in advance of sending in these papers. Please note that this does not mean that parishes shouldn’t start the paperwork more than six months before the wedding date.

  • Ordinary Time
    ORDINARY TIME January 18, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? Between the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord and Ash Wednesday, we celebrate Ordinary Time. Ordinary does not mean plain. Ordinary Time is called ordinary because the weeks are numbered. The Latin word ordinalis, which refers to numbers in a series, stems from the Latin word ordo from which we get the English word order. Thus Ordinary Time is in fact the ordered life of the Church, the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in Christmas or Easter Season) or in more severe penance (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchful expectation of the Second Coming of Christ. Over the next few weeks, we will be experiencing the beginning of Jesus’ ministry from his baptism, to calling his disciples, and early healing miracles; The liturgical color of Ordinary Time is green, the color of growth and hope; The banners symbolize multi-colored stain glass windows using liturgical colors throughout the seasons. Beginning next week, we will describe the interior design of our church, such as the symbols used on the altar. May 31, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? Ordinary Time We now return to counting or numbering the weeks, not days, of the liturgical year. Ordinary Time, which will take us through the summer and fall, comprises the thirty or so weeks that are not marked by major feasts. As we have stated before, the naming of this liturgical time is from the Latin word “ordo” which refers to a counting or numbering and an order.
