FROM THE RECTOR’S DESK Our readings this Sunday turn from a focus on the risen Jesus to the third person of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit. The Gospel passage from John is taken from Jesus’ Last Supper Discourse. He tells his Apostles that he will send them an advocate whom he calls the Spirit of truth to be with them. The Greek word is parakletos which refers to an advocate who stands with the person before the Court, defending and interceding for them. Jesus promises his disciples that the Holy Spirit will not only be with us but in us. The Holy Spirit is the one who resides in our souls. No one else can do this. Such is the close relationship between us and the Holy Spirit. Jesus tells the disciples that the the Holy Spirit teaches and reminds the disciple of his teaching. The Spirit’s role, however, is more than simply reminding us of the Lord’ commandments but He helps us to have a deeper understanding of Jesus and His teachings. It is the Spirit who reveals Jesus more and more to us, Jesus who is the face of the Father, the incarnation of God. We received the Holy Spirit at our baptism and at confirmation. These sacraments were pivotal events in our life because they oriented us to receive God and the gifts of God. In this relationship, we are led to the truth of who God is and who we are. We are strengthened to follow Jesus and conform our lives to his life. Our task is to be in touch with the Holy Spirit who convicts us of our sins but also reminds us that we are children of God. When we return to the public celebration of Masses at the end of the month, we will celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church. Let us pray each day for ourselves and all members of the Church that Holy Spirit will renew us in knowing Jesus and conforming our lives to him. I have some good news as well to report to you. The Cathedral is open for visitations Tuesdays and Thursday from 3:30 to 5:00 pm. Entry to and exit from the Cathedral will only be accessible through the middle Broad Street doors. We will close sections of the pews to help keep a 6-foot distance between persons. There will also not be access to the sanctuary areas or the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament due to its close confines.

  • Experts in Church Courts: a Role Not Sacred
    Experts in Church Courts: A Role Not Sacred John L. Young, MD, and Ezra E. H. Griffith, MD The increasing number of marriage annulments granted by the Catholic Church in recent years is gaining considerable public attention and arousing some controversy. I Members of the church's clergy2 and hierarchy3 have also expressed concern. This is not surprising in view of the actual data, as shown in Figure 1. Such data give the appearance of a decrease in the emphasis being placed on the permanence of marriage, a well-known church doctrine. Moreover, it is a significant change for some eight million divorced American Catholics that divorce, especially when combined with remar­ riage, might not mean separation from the church.4 Some have attributed the striking increase to the rising divorce rate; others to the renewal in church life associated with the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. 5 This renewal encouraged an enrichment in under­ standing of marriage as well as a flourishing ministry to the increasing number of divorced Catholics. In addition, a much earlier and less widely known trend is of more fundamental importance. Shortly after World War II, the Sacred Roman Rota, the church's court of final resort in marriage cases, began to emphasize the psychologic requirements for a valid marriage6 and to encourage the use of psychiatric experts in the hearing of marriage cases. 7 The public's increasing attention to the phenomenon of growing annul­ ment rates stands in contrast to the psychiatric literature's virtual silence on the expert's role in this process.

  • HISTORY of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE for GIRL SCOUTS and CAMP FIRE by Virginia Reed
    Revised 3/11/2019 HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE FOR GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE By Virginia Reed The present National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire dates back to the early days of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Although it has functioned in various capacities and under several different names, this committee's purpose has remained the same: to minister to the Catholic girls in Girl Scouts (at first) and Camp Fire (since 1973). Beginnings The relationship between Girl Scouting and Catholic youth ministry is the result of the foresight of Juliette Gordon Low. Soon after founding the Girl Scout movement in 1912, Low traveled to Baltimore to meet James Cardinal Gibbons and consult with him about her project. Five years later, Joseph Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York appointed a representative to the Girl Scout National Board of Directors. The cardinal wanted to determine whether the Girl Scout program, which was so fine in theory, was equally sound in practice. Satisfied on this point, His Eminence publicly declared the program suitable for Catholic girls. In due course, the four U.S. Cardinals and the U.S. Catholic hierarchy followed suit. In the early 1920's, Girl Scout troops were formed in parochial schools and Catholic women eagerly became leaders in the program. When CYO was established in the early 1930's, Girl Scouting became its ally as a separate cooperative enterprise. In 1936, sociologist Father Edward Roberts Moore of Catholic charities, Archdiocese of New York, studied and approved the Girl Scout program because it was fitting for girls to beome "participating citizens in a modern, social democracy." This support further enhanced the relationship between the Catholic church and Girl Scouting.

  • Declaring a Marriage Null (Decree of Nullity Process)
    DECLARING A MARRIAGE NULL 2020 EDITION INTRODUCTION You, or someone you love, values life in the Catholic Church. Those who choose to participate in the process of seeking a declaration of nullity are choosing an opportunity for a fuller expression of their faith in the church, or are allowing their loved one to experience peace of mind regarding divorce and the possibility of remarriage. It is comforting to know that Christian marriage, as one of the church’s seven sacraments, is precious to us, and a real symbol of God’s love for humanity. That is why it is so important to preserve the integrity of the sacrament. In order for a marriage to qualify as a true marriage, it needs to be a lifelong and faithful union of a man and a woman that is modeled after Christ’s love for the church. In that way it must be ordered toward the good of the spouses, the growth and support of the love relationship, and its fruitfulness in bearing and educating children. Like God’s love, marriage is creative and life giving. It invites us to come into contact with the presence and power of God. As divorce rates indicate, many couples do not reach the completion of their matrimonial commitment. The church is sensitive to this problem and strives to be responsive to the needs of these individuals so that they may live good and productive lives in the church and in society. WHAT IS A DECLARATION OF NULLITY? A declaration of nullity by the church, or as it is more commonly called, an annulment, is an acknowledgment that a particular couple never achieved a full marriage commitment.

The seminars will continue exploring the theme by addressing topics such as: restorative justice, Vos estis lux mundi, sponsorship of healthcare and educational institutions, and publishing names of accused clerics. Other seminars will focus on canonical issues having to do with consent, procedural law, ascription, and sacramental law.
