  • Feast of San Lorenzo Ruiz

    Feast of San Lorenzo Ruiz

    Feast of San Lorenzo Ruiz Introduction What a joy to be with you this afternoon at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen to celebrate the feast day of two Filipino saints: San Lorenzo Ruiz and San Pedro Calunsgod (kuh LUN sud). Warmest thanks to Dr. Ruben Ballesteros and Father Pete Literal for kindly inviting me to lead and take part in this celebration and in thanking you I extend my gratitude to Archdiocesan Filipino Council for your all that you do to foster the New Evangelization among the growing number of Filipino families here in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. At the same time, I would like to welcome Couples for Christ and to thank you for all that you do to promote the vocation of marriage and family. And let us remember all those who lost their lives in Typhoon Haiyan as well as those who responded so heroically to that tragedy. We salute their faith, their courage, and their heroic love! Universal Call to Holiness The II Vatican Council clearly taught that every one of us is called to holiness. Indeed, something way deep down in us keeps telling us that we are made for more than this world can offer – whether it’s pleasure, riches, or power. We are made in God’s image and so we are really happy only when we reflect God’s love and share his friendship. And holiness is nothing other than sharing in God’s own life and love. In the Church we find all the means to holiness that we need, for in the Church we meet Christ and experience his love.

    Alternative Report to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child Regarding the Periodic Reports of the Holy See Due on 1 September 2017

    Alternative Report To the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child Regarding the Periodic Reports of the Holy See Due on 1 September 2017 5 September 2017 I. Introduction and Overview The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (“SNAP”) and the Center for Constitutional Rights, collectively the “Reporting Organizations,” submit the information herein for the Committee’s consideration of the Holy See’s third through sixth periodic reports that were due on 1 September 2017.1 As the Holy See did not submit its reports,2 the Reporting Organizations take this opportunity to call the Committee’s attention to several developments since its last review of the Holy See in 2014, in particular with respect to its Concluding Observations Nos. 8, 13-14, 19-20, 29-30, 43-44, and 60-61.3 Following the review of the Holy See in January 2014, the Committee issued a number of observations and recommendations about the Holy See’s handling of pervasive and systemic sexual violence against children within the Roman Catholic Church. In particular, this Committee observed that “in dealing with allegations of child sexual abuse, the Holy See has consistently placed the preservation of the reputation of the Church and the protection of the perpetrators above the child’s best interests…”4 The Reporting Organizations are deeply concerned that the Holy See has not implemented any of the Committee’s recommendations over the past three years, and does not appear to have genuinely attempted to do so. In fact, in a number of respects, the Holy See has continued to do the exact opposite of what the Committee recommended.
