  • US Bishops Pass Measures to Investigate And
    U.S. bishops pass measures to investigate and prevent abuse The U.S. bishops’ conference voted to approve proposals intended to respond to recent scandals involving sexual abuse, coercion, and cover-up on the part of bishops, most notably former cardinal Theodore McCarrick and the disgraced Bishop Michael Bransfield. The bishops, gathered in Baltimore for their spring General Assembly, voted overwhelmingly June 13 in favour of three measures aimed at building processes to address episcopal misconduct or neglect, and the ongoing crisis of credibility widely perceived to overshadow ongoing work to eliminate sexual abuse from the Church. Bishop Bransfield, of Wheeling-Charleston, W. Va. is accused of sexual assault. Pope Francis removed McCarrick from the priesthood in February after he was found guilty of abuse. The assembly approved protocol explaining the powers of a diocesan bishop to curtail the public ministry of a retired bishop in his former diocese by a margin of 212-4. They also approved a set of directives applying in the U.S. the new universal norms for investigating allegations against bishops promulgated by Pope Francis in Vos estis lux mundi. After initial discussion earlier this week, they were presented to bishops with an explicit exhortation for metropolitan bishops to appoint “on a stable basis, even by means of an ecclesiastical office, a qualified lay person” to receive allegations against bishops and work with the metropolitan in any subsequent investigation. The directives were approved by 218-1. The bishops also approved a joint statement, Affirming Our Episcopal Commitments, establishing a non-binding moral commitment by bishops to hold themselves to the same standards and measures as are currently applied to their priests and deacons.

  • Texas Bishop Says He Is Saddened That Defending the Gospel Is Considered ‘Bold’
    Texas bishop says he is saddened that defending the Gospel is considered ‘bold’ Bishop Joseph E. Strickland of Tyler, Texas, wouldn’t label himself as “bold.” “Talk to one of my siblings; I’m No. 5 of six kids,” Bishop Strickland recently told Our Sunday Visitor in an interview. “If you talk to my older brother, Paul, and ask, ‘Would you describe your little brother Joe as a bold man?’ he’d probably say, ‘Joe’s a nice guy, but I don’t think bold would be the word.'” But Bishop Strickland’s staunch defense of Church teaching and strong advocacy for transparency in the wake of the recent clergy abuse scandals — more widely pronounced in recent years thanks to social media — really can’t be described as anything but. While he speaks simply and almost understatedly, Bishop Strickland also manages to be both blunt and direct. “Honestly, I guess I’m bold enough to just say what I think,” he said. Even “if it gets me in trouble — sometimes it does — I’m going to be true to what I believe. It really saddens me to be considered bold for simply reading the Catechism out loud.” “When I was ordained a bishop almost seven years ago, I said I’d guard the deposit of Faith entire and incorrupt,” Bishop Strickland said. “That’s what I’m trying to do. It shouldn’t be considered bold to simply uphold my promises. It’s a basic job description.” In a wide-ranging conversation, Bishop Strickland shared many of his thoughts about the Church today, including internal divisions, the challenges and joys of living the Faith, the ongoing clergy sex abuse crisis and the path toward healing.

The Three Kings or Wise Men come from afar to lay their gifts before Him and recognize Him as the King of Kings. Their gifts at His birth of gold, frankincense and myrrh are a reminder to us of the reality that Jesus will give His life for us. He wants us to follow in His foot- steps and give glory to His Father by making His presence be mani- fested today in our world through our way of life. In all our human weakness, we have been called by God to let His light shine in us and through us for the world. He wants us to learn to die to ourselves in order to bear the fruit that will last for all eternity. At the beginning of this new year, let’s ask God to give us the grace to be the best we can be for Him and for others. Let’s ask Him to forgive those who have wronged us so that we are not bound by the sins of others but live the truth in love and learn to conquer evil with good.

  • Dear St. Martin of Tours Parish Family, with the COVID-19
    Recommended Reading May 2021 St. Martin of Tours Adult Education Committee Dear St. Martin of Tours Parish Family, With the COVID-19 restrictions that have been in place for the last year, the Adult Education Committee has been unable to offer the type of programming that we have in past years. In light of this reality, we have decided to put together a list of books compiled from those which Msgr. Tom, our deacons, and the Adult Education Committee members have found helpful in our respective faith journeys and which we hope could be useful for you as well. Titles on this list could also serve as summer reading since many of us will again be unable to take the type of family vacations that we have in the past. Additionally, our parish library, located in the Manning Center, has a very good collection of books which you may borrow. We sincerely hope that you find some of these titles to be spiritually nourishing and helpful for your personal faith journey. May God Bless you, The St. Martin of Tours Adult Education Committee Rich Furney, Jane Guido, Janine Hughey, Lisa Irwin, Kathi Lovell, Sue Maneikis, and Kathy Waldron Page 1 of 11 Recommended Reading May 2021 St. Martin of Tours Adult Education Committee Foundational Reading The Bible The Catholic Edition of any translation, usually denoted by CE, is preferable. Be aware that if you are using a Protestant edition, it will be missing seven books from the Old Testament. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition , revised in accordance with the official Latin text promulgated by Pope John Paul II The Catechism draws on the Bible, the Mass, the Sacraments, Church tradition and teaching, and the lives of saints.
