God “wants us to discover that each of us is called – in a variety of ways – to something grand, and that our lives should not grow entangled in the nets of an ennui that dulls the heart,” the pope said. “Every vocation is a summons not to stand on the shore, nets in hand, but to follow Jesus on the path he has marked out for us, for our own happiness and for the good of those around us,” he said in his mes- sage for the 2019 World Day of Prayer for Vocations. (PHOTO BY NICHOLAS WOLFRAM SMITH/CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO) The Vatican released the pope’s message March 9. The day, which was to be celebrated May 12, was dedicated to the theme: “The courage to take a risk Heart to hearts for God’s promise.” Several hundred people gathered at a eucharistic Holy Hour at St. Pius Church in Redwood City Feb. 28 to venerate the incorruptible heart of St. John Vianney. The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring the relic on a six-month U.S. tour. See story on Page 5.

    Archdiocesan News A PUBLICATION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF CAPE TOWN • ISSUE NO 81 • JULY-SEPTEMBER 2016 • FREE OF CHARGE WORLD YOUTH DAY 2016 At the end of July an Archdiocesan contingent of seven young people (and Fr Charles) headed to Poland to be a part of World Youth Day 2016. They spent some days in Czestochowa Diocese in the small town of Radonsko, experiencing Polish hospitality and visiting the shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa. Then they headed off to Krakow for various activities and an encounter with millions of other pilgrims from all over the world, culminating in an all-night vigil and Mass with Pope Francis. Claremont Mosque condemns killing of Catholic Priest PRESS STATEMENT – 26 JULY 2016 CMRM Condemns Inhumane Killing of Catholic Priest The Claremont Main Road Mosque (CMRM) congregation strongly con- demns the brutal killing of an 85 year-old Catholic priest by two ISIS/Da`ish supporters during a Mass at a Church in Normandy, France. The inhumane and gruesome killing of the elderly Father Jacques Hamel and the sacrili- geous violation of a sacred prayer space bears testimony to the merciless ideology of Da`ish. It is apparent that Da`ish is hell-bent on fuelling a reli- gious war between Muslims and Christians. However, their war is a war on humanity and our response should reflect a deep respect for the sanctity of all human life. This tragic incident should spur us to redouble our efforts at reaching out to each other across religious divides. Our thoughts and prayers are with the congregation of the Church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray and the Catholic Church at large.

  • France 2016 International Religious Freedom Report
    FRANCE 2016 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution and the law protect the right of individuals to choose, change, and practice their religion. The government investigated and prosecuted numerous crimes and other actions against religious groups, including anti-Semitic and anti- Muslim violence, hate speech, and vandalism. The government continued to enforce laws prohibiting face coverings in public spaces and government buildings and the wearing of “conspicuous” religious symbols at public schools, which included a ban on headscarves and Sikh turbans. The highest administrative court rejected the city of Villeneuve-Loubet’s ban on “clothes demonstrating an obvious religious affiliation worn by swimmers on public beaches.” The ban was directed at full-body swimming suits worn by some Muslim women. ISIS claimed responsibility for a terrorist attack in Nice during the July 14 French independence day celebration that killed 84 people without regard for their religious belief. President Francois Hollande condemned the attack as an act of radical Islamic terrorism. Prime Minister (PM) Manuel Valls cautioned against scapegoating Muslims or Islam for the attack by a radical extremist group. The government extended a state of emergency until July 2017. The government condemned anti- Semitic, anti-Muslim, and anti-Catholic acts and continued efforts to promote interfaith understanding through public awareness campaigns and by encouraging dialogues in schools, among local officials, police, and citizen groups. Jehovah’s Witnesses reported 19 instances in which authorities interfered with public proselytizing by their community. There were continued reports of attacks against Christians, Jews, and Muslims. The government, as well as Muslim and Jewish groups, reported the number of anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim incidents decreased by 59 percent and 58 percent respectively from the previous year to 335 anti-Semitic acts and 189 anti-Muslim acts.

Karabin while Karabin was assigned to St. Joan of Arc. Bishop Vincent Leonard then sent a letter to the House of Affirmation, a treatment center, notifying them that Karabin would arrive on March 25, 1980 for an evaluation with respect to the "incident" which Leonard advised he did not want to describe in the letter. Karabin was returned to active ministry after he completed treatment. In March, 1985, Father Raymond Froelich, Pastor of St. Albert the Great where Karabin was assigned as Parochial Vicar, notified Bishop Bevilacqua of another child whom Father Karabin had sexually abused. On March 7, 1985, two memorandums by Bishop Bosco documented a meeting held between himself and Karabin in with respect to the new report. Bosco advised Karabin that he would have to be reassigned due to the complaint. Karabin agreed, but "did not seem happy" with the possibility that his reassignment may not be immediate due to this being a "recurrence of a previous problem." According to Karabin, this "latest incident" was caused by stress he was under from not having his own pastorate.

  • ISIS/Daesh and Boko Haram Ewelina Ochab and Kelsey Zorzi REPORT
    Effects of Terrorism on Enjoyment of Human Rights: ISIS/Daesh and Boko Haram Ewelina Ochab and Kelsey Zorzi REPORT 23 September 2016 Executive Summary Recent years have witnessed the emergence of powerful terrorist groups, notably, ISIS/Daesh in the Middle East and Boko Haram in West Africa. Despite various steps taken to combat them, the terrorist groups continue unchecked by effective deterrence or punishment. While Boko Haram’s atrocities are being considered by the Office of the Prosecutor to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in a preliminary examination, ISIS/Daesh remains unchallenged by either the UN Security Council or the ICC. The international community’s failure to prosecute ISIS/Daesh may suggest that a new international mechanism is needed. This report focuses on two main terrorist groups, namely, ISIS/Daesh in the Middle East and beyond, and Boko Haram in Nigeria and West Africa. The report presents the scope of the atrocities committed by both terrorist groups and the effect of the atrocities on the enjoyment of human rights in the affected regions, and beyond. The report further outlines the challenges faced by the affected States in responding to the threats posed by terrorism and proposes best practices to go forward.
