He was the third child of Napoléon-Paul Jetté and Marie Bastien. The newborn baby was baptised on the day of his birth by Father Ovila Naud, assistant priest in the parish. The godfather was his uncle, Pierre-Ludger Archambault1. The father, Napoléon-Paul, was a native of the Sacred Heart parish in Montreal where he was born on December 23, 1891 and where he married Marie Bastien on November 13, 1916. Towards the year 1918, Paul and Marie went to live in Sainte-Rose de Laval, a village about twenty-five miles from Montreal. Paul was a tailor and he owned the house at number 248 on the boulevard Sainte-Rose. Later he was to become deputy mayor and postmaster. After the death of his wife he married again, in 1940. His second wife was Béatrice Cosgrain. He died at the age of 57 in the Sainte-Jeanne d’Arc hospital, Montreal, on April 25, 1948. The local newspaper wrote about him that the citizenry of Laval “has lost a public figure with a true business sense, ready to listen to everybody’s troubles, who tried to bring happiness to all. His good humour and amiability inspired confidence in all; he gave sound advice wherever it was needed. Throughout his lifetime he always took an interest in the works of the parish, in the activities of the Knights of Columbus of which he was a member, and in the Catholic Independent League, as well as in other movements which aimed to help his fellow citizens2. Fernand’s mother, Marie Bastien, was born in Sainte-Rose de Laval. Her parents were Gustave Rocan, known as Bastien, and Dorsine Cadieux. Her mother, on the death of her husband married again, this time to Ludger Archambault3. Marie Bastien died suddenly of a cerebral haemorrhage on October 18, 1938. In his Spiritual notes Fernand mentioned the anniversary of her death each year. For example, on October 18, 1981, he wrote: “the anniversary of my mother’s death. She died in 1938. I loved her very much, as also my father, even though I was never very demonstrative. Both of them were very good people. I appreciate them more and more and I thank God for having given them to me as I experience more and more what life is all about.” He made a similar note on October 18, 1987: “Today is the anniversary of my mother’s death… I often think about her, and about my father too … We continue to be the same 1 As stated in the baptismal register by J.A. Demers, pastor, AD: HB 2671 J58C01. 2 Courrier de Laval, May 13, 1948, p. 3: HB 2671 J58D 02. 3 We do not know much about Marie Bastien. The details mentioned here are taken from the Bastien Genealogy. AD: HB2671 J58G 03, with the photo of Fernand Jetté. 6 family. They remember us in their prayer in the presence of God and we continue to remember them and to love them4…” On October 18, 1980, Fernand wrote an interesting comment on the qualities and gifts of his parents and the influence they had: “Today it is 42 years since my mother died. It was Tuesday. I was sixteen. She was forty-three; she would have been forty-four on October 23. I was always very close to her, as I was to my father. They were quite different in temperament; my father was more active, more enterprising, a good organiser and a wise counsellor; he easily influenced those around him. Many came to him for advice, even though he had little education. My mother was more retiring, more discreet, less lively, better educated and more withdrawn. The two of them got on well together and were complementary to one another. As I grow older, I appreciate them more and more, and I find that many of their characteristics are also mine, although only one may be apparent at any one time. Exteriorly, I tend to identify more with my mother’s temperament; my previous occupations: study, spiritual life, intellectual life, have developed that aspect. On the other hand, I realise that the other temperament, that of my father, is also present: a sense of organisation, contact with others on the level of advice or spiritual direction … and, when the occasion presents itself, I find that I am able to succeed on this other level just as on the former. Spontaneously, however, I feel more inclined to choose the former5.” Fernand had two brothers and two sisters. The eldest, Gaston, was born in Montreal on September 13, 1918. He married Raymonde Vanier on September 4, 1944 and died at the age of 82 on May 20, 20006. He worked in the civil service and lived in Quebec. The second, André, was born in Sainte-Rose on June 4, 1920 and remained a bachelor. He died on May 13, 1988. He liked study and was quite successful. He suffered from asthma and was unable to take part in sport. Fernand wrote: “Together we liked reading, the theatre, cinema. At one time we even dreamt of music. We made a twosome: he learned the violin and I the piano… We were quite close” wrote Fernand in his Diary, “but there was not much confiding on spiritual matters. He was a man of faith and a good Christian7.” The youngest member of the family, Réjane, was born on March 25, 1926, and she married Maurice Groulx. She died on May 4, 2002. Fernand said that he and his brothers were very fond of her but tended to leave her alone. They never went out with her and never shared her activities8. Claudette, Fernand’s half- sister, daughter of Paul and his second wife Béatrice Casgrain, was born on December 20, 1940. Se received her secondary education with the Sisters of the Holy Cross and the Sisters of Notre-Dame. “Afterwards, she preferred to make her own way in life. In association with Lucien Grenet and later with his son, she lived in Latin America. Fernand has this to say about her in his Diary on June 26, 1978: “She does not practice her religion… For me, she is my sister. I pray for her and I am very fond of her. The ‘poorest’ are often those closest to us9.” 4 Spiritual notes 1980-1996, p. 27-28, and 1996-1998, p. 75. 5 Spiritual notes 1978-1980, p. 86-87. 6 Genealogy of the Jetté family: AD:HB 2671 J58G 01, N. 1; Diary 1990-200, p. 111-112, 115. 7 Genealogy of the Jetté family: p. 49: Diary 1993-1995, p. 27.

In 1921 the population was about 3,000 of whom half were farmers and lived in the surrounding countryside. The house on the main street, the Sainte-Rose boulevard, where the Jetté family lived, was hidden by green trees, mostly elm. In summertime many holidaymakers came to stay in the town10. The lifestyle of the Jetté family was simple and happy. The parents were good Catholics and the father was a close friend of Father Urgel Demers, the pastor.

  • Ireland 8Th Report

The National Secular Society is concerned that all citizens, regardless of religion or belief, are treated equally, and that religious organisations, while enjoying the same freedom of expression as individual citizens, are not accorded any special privileges or concessions. The Society would like to pay tribute to the work of those compiling the Council of Europe‘s report Child abuse in institutions: ensure full protection of the victims1 and in particular its rapporteur Ms Marlene Rupprecht MdB. We wish to expand on what the report summarised about Ireland, and taking the reports together and additional material (some of which has emerged since), draw some wider conclusions and suggest some further recommendations. As this Report was being finalised, the Irish Prime Minister made a Parliamentary speech2 admitting much of the substance of this Briefing. We hope this signals a major improvement in Ireland‘s response to these issues.

  • Kim Michele Richardson Will Other Catholic Bishops Risk Eternal
    January 20, 2011 Kim Michele Richardson Author, The Unbreakable Child, Spokesperson, (SNAP) Posted: January 20, 2011 08:15 AM Will Other Catholic Bishops Risk Eternal Damnation? I applaud the fearlessness it must have taken for the Irish bishop who recently turned over a 1997 letter from the Vatican to the Irish Broadcasters RTF, thinking he'd face eternal damnation and excommunication for his act. This letter was signed by the late Archbishop, Luciano Storero, Pope John Paul II's diplomat to Ireland, and addressed to Ireland's Catholic bishops, telling them not to report all suspected child abuse cases to the police. Finally a Catholic bishop bravely stepped forward to report what has been known all too long: that the Vatican had been protecting pedophile clergy. I'm sure this bishop had sleepless nights before he found the fortitude to do the right thing. One must wonder how many other bishops and members of the Vatican's hierarchy are still having sleepless nights, while experiencing tumultuous unrest. David Clohessy, director The Survivors Network for Those Abused by Priests (SNAP), said, "This may be the most devastating revelation yet showing Vatican complicity in child sex crimes and cover ups. It's bad enough that Catholic officials have a secretive, slow and corrupt internal process to deal with child predators. But it's worse when Catholic officials thwart an open, proven and effective external process to deal with child predators." As a former orphan and survivor of devastating clergy abuse, I appeal to U.S. Bishops and members of the Vatican's hierarchy to also find the courage to come forward and disclose cover ups and the names of predator clergy and expunge the secrecy.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Satanic Apologetics and the Church Sex Abuse Scandal a branch of Christian theological studies called “apolo- getics,” which is the art of refuting criticisms directed against the orthodox interpretation of Christian scripture. Unfortunately, many people whose religious interests could be classified as ‘occult’ also feel the need to resort to “apologetics” when con- fronted by an orthodox Christian with the “Satanic” nature of their beliefs. They claim that there is nothing “Satanic” or “Lucife- rian” about their interests, and that the Christians are simply “mis- interpreting” an ancient tradition that predates the concepts of both Christ and the Devil. Some even claim to be more truly ‘Christian’ than their detractors, throwing around New Age terms like “Christ-consciousness.” The worst perpetrators of “Satanic apologetics” are those who openly call themselves “Satanists,” especially members of the Church of Satan. These people claim to speak for the Satanic tra- dition, and yet they relegate Satan to the position of an “arche- type” with no real existence. To them, Satan merely represents ‘intellectual rebellion.’ Their beliefs are, at bottom, atheistic, and if they worship anyone, it is themselves. What is really annoying is how Church of Satan members assume that all other followers of Satanic traditions are like they are. Thus the practice of Satanic apologetics spreads to the “debunking” of phenomena like Satanic human sacrifice, Satanic Ritual Abuse, and Satanic conspiracy theories. Recently, a Church of Satan rep- resentative appeared on Linda Vester’s ‘Dayside’ show on Fox 2 lucifer’s lodge News, debunking the notion that Laci Peterson could have been killed by Satanists.

    253 SEXTA PARTE LA CAL A PARTIR DEL MOTU PROPRIO DECESSORES NOSTRI DESDE 1988 254 255 El año 1988 es importante en la historia de la Pontificia Comisión para América Latina. En ese año el Santo Padre Juan Pablo II, con el Motu Proprio Decessores Nostri del 18 de junio y con la Constitución Apostólica Pastor Bonus del 28 de junio, reorganizó y potenció la CAL, dándole una ubicación en el orgánico de la Curia Romana y precisando más su naturaleza y finalidad. Estos dos actos pontificios son el punto de partida de una nueva etapa en la vida de este Organismo de la Curia Romana, cuya importancia era cada vez más evidente para la renovación y fortalecimiento del catolicismo latinoamericano. Después de 30 años de existencia, Su Santidad Juan Pablo II, consideró que había llegado el momento de reestructurar y potenciar la Comisión para América Latina de modo que fuera siempre en grado de responder a las expectativas que la Santa Sede había depositado en ella desde su constitución en 1958. El Santo Padre renovando y potenciando la CAL quiso dar un nuevo impulso a la obra evangelizadora de la Iglesia en América Latina y renovar el organismo de la Curia Romana especialmente llamado a animar la Nueva Evangelización del “Continente de la Esperanza”. En estos últimos 20 años la CAL ha tenido como Presidente los Eminentísimos Cardenales Bernardín Gantin (1984-1998), Lucas Moreira Neves (1998-2000), Giovanni Battista Re (desde el año 2000). El Motu Proprio Decessores Nostri dispuso que el Presidente fuese ayudado por un Obispo Vice-Presidente, este cargo lo han ejercido: S.E.

In close alliance, Church and State imposed censorship, policed morality, and gave to Catholic institutions the major part in education and social services. Catholic charities identified neglected children so that courts might remove them from poor families and send them instead to Catholic residential institutions that received, at least in the 1930s, more than twice as much to care for each child as their families had been given in child welfare. Bishop John Charles McQuaid influenced the framing of the Irish constitution of 1937, notably in the Christian tone of its preamble claiming the Holy Trinity as the ultimate source of all authority and in Article 44.1.20 affirming “the special position of the Holy Catholic Apostolic and Roman Church as the guardian of the Faith professed by the great majority of the citizens”.
