  • 1 the Origin and Early Development of All Saints University Parish
    The Origin and Early Development of All Saints University Parish: A Journey of Relationships and Persistence Turlock, California Introduction The following summary history report is primarily an attempt to factually record from first-hand knowledge, and verification from accessible surviving documents, the infancy and maturation of the Catholic Newman Student movement in Turlock from a tiny college student club through the planning and building of a multipurpose worship facility (1960-1999). It will be left to recent Pastoral Council members and other current parishioners to write a more complete and detailed modern history (2000-present) of this community, currently known as All Saints University Parish. The author takes complete and exclusive responsibility for the content of this publication, although he wishes to acknowledge that he received from All Saints staff and community members helpful cooperation, support and assistance with preparation and distribution of this report. Chaplain Salvador deserves much credit for the initial gentle insistence many years ago which led to production of this document. A final draft of this history report has been read by the three most recent All Saints priests, but no Community priest can be held accountable for report content or presentation. An attempt has been made to acknowledge all of those who have made a worthy effort or contribution to the foundational development of this church community. Most of the early pioneers can be recalled by this writer and are mentioned by name---but this is at the risk of omitting one or more who deserve remembrance and recognition also. Apologies are offered if adequate recognition of the efforts of any pioneer has been overlooked; such oversight, and/or any possible misstatement found, should be reported to the author or the Parish Office for whatever correction might be possible.

  • A History of the National Review Board
    A History of the National Review Board By Michael R. Merz A History of the National Review Board by Michael R. Merz Preface The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops commissioned this history in November, 2009, “to serve as an internal chronology” of the National Review Board. Its intended audience is present and future members of the Board, the Bishops’ Committee on Child and Youth Protection, and members and staff of the Conference. Because of a policy of rotating NRB members, there were no members in 2009 whose personal memories covered the entire history of the Board. Those changes, as well as appointment of new bishops and new members of the CPCYP and staff at the Conference make this history necessary. Hopefully it will be useful as an index to the people who have served on the NRB, the issues they have confronted, and their interactions with the Conference and its bishop members. The author served on the Board from October 2004 until June 2009, acquiring many personal experiences and reactions to events in the NRB history, many of which are reflected in this history, which ends with the June 2009 meeting of the Board. Nevertheless, this is not an interpretive history; the author was cautioned not to editorialize. Although this is a straight factual chronology, the author believes readers will be able to draw useful lessons from it so that the Board’s successes during its first seven years can be built upon and its less successful approaches can be avoided. Sources Information for the period from the adoption of the Charter to November 2004 is taken from the Board’s archival files at the USCCB and from Justice Anne Burke’s papers from her Board work, on deposit at DePaul University.

  • Threat to Humanity Benedict XVI “Sweet Christ on Earth,” St
    ISSUE 21 MAR-APR 2012 Threat to Humanity Benedict XVI “Sweet Christ on earth,” St. Catherine of Siena I greet all of you with fraternal affection and I pray that this pilgrimage of spiritual renewal and deep- ened communion will confirm you in faith and commitment to your task as Pastors of the Church in the United States of America. As you know, it is my intention in the course of this year to reflect with you on some of the spiritual and cultural chal- lenges of the new evangelization. One of the most memorable aspects of my Pas- toral Visit to the United States was the opportunity it afforded me to reflect on America’s historical experience of religious freedom, and specifically the relationship between religion and culture. At the heart of every culture, whether perceived or not, is a consensus about the nature of reality and the moral good, and thus about the conditions for human flourishing. In America, that consensus, as enshrined in your nation’s founding documents, was grounded in a worldview shaped not only by faith but a commitment to certain ethical principles deriving from nature and nature’s God. Today that consensus has eroded significantly in the face of powerful new cultural currents which are not only directly opposed to core moral teachings of the Judeo-Christian tradition, but increasingly hostile to Christianity as such.
