    AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM “ And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them…” The Book of the Prophet Isaias, Chapter 3 “Let us prey” GOD’S “gay ministry” to unrepentant sodomites “God’s Gay Ministry” to active homosexuals (sodomites) Fall / Winter 2003 Roman Catholic Faithful, Inc Our Mission Statement Roman Catholic Faithful, Inc. (RCF) is a lay organization, with many religious members, dedicated to promoting orthodox Catholic teaching and fighting heterodoxy and corruption within the Catholic hierarchy. Our Philosophy While we accept the authority of the Holy Father and all bishops in union with him, we will not sit idly by, nor blindly follow, while many in the hierarchy allow the Holy Catholic Church to be torn apart and assaulted by the forces of Modernism, Syncretism, Heresy, and the gross immorality of some of its clergy. As parents and teachers, we will not allow our Catholic youth to be robbed of their faith or have their innocence destroyed in the name of “tolerance”, “ecumenism”, “diversity” or any other politically correct ideology of the day. We object to individuals or groups of individuals being given access to Catholic schools, churches, and Church property to promote any belief, teaching, or idea contrary to Catholic teaching as defined by two thousand years of Tradition and Church teaching. We expect every Catholic priest to follow the disciplines of the Catholic Church as he promised. We expect every bishop to do all he can to safeguard the souls of our children by exercising his authority to ensure proper teaching within Catholic schools and parish religion programs.

  • Benedict XV's Diplomacy in Greater Syria (S
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Facing the Emergence of the Modern Middle East: Benedict XV’s Diplomacy in Greater Syria (Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine) 1914-1922 A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Agnes Aupepin de Lamothe-Dreuzy Washington, D.C. 2012 Facing the Emergence of the Modern Middle East: Benedict XV’s Diplomacy in Greater Syria (Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine) 1914-1922 Agnes Aupepin de Lamothe-Dreuzy, Ph.D. Director: Jacques M. Gres-Gayer, STD, Ph.D. Pope Benedict XV’s pontificate (1914-1922), misunderstood by his contemporaries and neglected by recent scholarship, coincides with the reshaping of the Middle East, from the beginning of World War One to the assignment of Mandates to France and Britain over Syria and Palestine. This study examines Benedict XV’s diplomacy in Greater Syria. Its unique aspect resides in the combination of two approaches. Benedict’s main priority was to ensure the survival of Christians in the Middle East, providing them with a dynamic ecclesiological structure. The pontiff completed and institutionalized the traditional ecclesiological approach in favor of unionism, with the goal to strengthen the ecclesial structures of the Eastern churches and equip them with solid legal foundations. This ecclesiological approach was integrated in Benedict XV’s global geo-political vision that shifted away from its past Eurocentric vision and was combined with an anticipation of the decolonization era. Benedict completed these guiding principles with a policy of emancipation of the missionary world from the bondage of colonial powers, preparing the Church for an active role in the world.

  • St. Mary's Seminary & University Annual Report 2017
    ST. MARY ’ S SEMINARY&UNIVERSITY Annual Report 2017 1 A N EW ERA IN SEMINARY FORMATION The Congregation for Clergy, the department of the Holy See that oversees seminary formation, recently issued a new Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis containing the Vatican’s guidelines for seminary programs. This represents the initiation of a new era in seminary formation that takes into consideration the evolution of seminary programs and social and Rev. Phillip J. Brown, P.S.S. cultural changes that have occurred since the last Ratio in 1970 following the Second Vatican President Rector Council, and Pope St. John Paul II’s Pastores Dabo Vobis in 1992, both of which gave norms and guidance for seminary programs. Because these are so essential for the work we do, I wanted to let you know a little about this important new document and how it will affect St. Mary’s. Pastores dabo vobis has been the most important document for seminary formators and administrators since 1992. Pastores dabo vobis is the first official document that spoke of the “four pillars” of formation: Human; spiritual; intellectual; and pastoral. This year's Annual Report illuminates the ways our program integrates the four pillars. While Pastores dabo vobis alludes to the process of formation, its main emphasis is on the content of formation programs; hence the “four pillars” referred to on the pages that follow. The new Ratio , on the other hand, shifts emphasis to the process of formation, speaking of four “stages” of formation while not abandoning the content of the “four pillars” upon which sound formation must be anchored.

On March 16th, we were forced St Anthony to close our building to our students and teachers. This closure led Tim Beaver Chris Hutchinson to Scotus Central Catholic moving to E-Learning for the entire Lisa Kaslon fourth quarter. Thankfully, our school has been engaged in blended Fr. Ross Burkhalter learning in many of our curriculum areas over the last few years. St. Bonaventure We have also provided professional development for our teachers Shannon Kosch Jason Mielak to utilize Microsoft Teams as a tool to stay connected electronically Kathy Steiner with their students. This allowed for a much smoother transition Fr. Michael Swanton into the E-Learning. The faculty did an outstanding job in keeping St. Isidore high expectations for our students and going the extra mile to protect the integrity of Jay Pelan our instruction. Clint Przymus Dr. Dale Zaruba Another challenge for our school was the creation of a Catholic identity committee Fr. Joe Miksch in the absence of a campus minister. We no longer have a priest assigned to our school Corporate Board as a campus minister. This committee allowed for greater engagement by our faculty Archbishop George Joseph Lucas in providing opportunities for our students to grow in their faith. One of the ideas that Archbishop Emeritus Elden Francis Curtiss came from this group was Rock Talk.

    SCOTUS CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL REPORT www.scotuscc.org 2016-17 Columbus, NE 68601 Message from the President The charisms or “gifts from God” that we chose to celebrate during the 2016-17 school year were Gratitude, Service and Faith—and I give thanks to God for the many opportunities we shared this year to be good stewards of His gifts and to grow in our faith. Reflecting back on the year, the first thing that comes to mind is the positive attitude, enthusiasm and effort our students and faculty shared every day—what more could a school president ask for in his first year!? Academically, we had seven seniors named to the 2017 Omaha World Herald Academic All-State team including Tate VunCannon who was on the West-Central, first team. Over the course of the year, 35 students received NSAA Academic All-State recognition, and our National Honor Society numbers grew to 70. The 2017 Class ACT composite score was 24.3 which was 3.4 points above the national average. I am also very proud of the continued success with the Student Council’s “Shepherd” program—which provided upper class student mentors for incoming 7th graders. And new this year was the formation of a very successful faculty student assistance team that provided focused assistance to students who were struggling academically. In team competition our students brought home six district championships, a state title in girls cross country, second place finish in girls’ soccer, and third place finishes in boys cross country and track. At state competition our cheerleading squad captured first place in Game Day, and our Journalism students won the state Class B title for the first time in school history! We also had exemplary individual district and state performances in many other sports, speech, music and mock trial.
