Now a top contender for the Heisman Trophy, Young leads No. 2 Texas back into Big 10 country for Saturday night's matchup with No. 4 Ohio State. The glamour non-con­ ference game of the season is the first meeting of the elite programs and has national title implications just two weeks into the schedule. "It's going to be a game you'll always remember," Young said. "I sense a great opportunity for our team." And for himself. Stoking the flames of this blockbuster matchup, Ohio State players have said they want to knock Young out of the Heisman chase. "Our goal is when Vince Young leaves here, he won't be a candidate for the Heisman," said Ohio State linebacker Bobby Carpenter. ''I'm not too much getting into the Heisman right now," Young said. "It's all about my teammates right now. Whatever they want to say, let them talk, man." Young has been talking to his teammates about this game for months. When the players trickled back to cam­ pus ·for summer conditioning, he left them a written mes­ sage in the locker room: "If you want to beat Ohio State, meet me here every night at 7 p.m." He is now the undisputed leader of a Texas team searching for its first outright national title since 1969. The Longhorns shared the title in 1970. . "This is Vince's team," said defensive end Tim Crowder. That's partly because tail­ back Cedric Benson, the fifth­ leading rushing in major col­ lege history, is now in the NFL, leaving Young to shoul­ der the national title hopes. Young, who was nearly benched after two poor games midway through last season, has embraced his role as leader. He took charge of sum­ mer passing drills. This week, he's made the rounds urging teammates to practice hard, pushing them to be perfect. ''I'm the guy, and I'm going to be the leader," Young said. "That's my role." He's even talked about quar­ terbacks he thinks weren't up to the job.

Lector VVorkshops Basilica 8:15PM One of the major complaints of the reformers at the time of the Protestant Reformation was the buying and selling of indulgences by some people within the Catholic Church. So what is the deal with indulgences? Are they still around? Indulgences are indeed still a part of Catholic Church teaching and relate closely to the Sacrament of monday 9/lt Reconciliation and Catholic theology on the nature of sin and forgiveness. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines an indulgence as "a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven (#1471 )." Indulgences are described as either "partial" or "plenary," depending on whether they take Altar Servers Training away a part or all of this temporal punishment. Basilica 9:00PM In gaining a full understanding of indulgences, one must examine our Christian understanding of sin and its "double consequence." We all know that sin separates us from God. When we receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the priest (representing God and the Church} forgives us of the guilt of our sins. This forgiveness breaks down the barrier between God and humankind, and takes away our "just reward" for sin: eternal Tue1day 9/1 S punishment. However, as the Catechism clarifies, sin also "entails an unhealthy attachment to creatures which must be purified .... This purification frees one from what is called the 'temporal punishment of sin (#1472}." Temporal punishment can be eliminated through "offering up" the trials and tribulations of earthly life to Christ. Likewise, an indulgence also eliminates some or all of this temporal punishment due for sins. 1111:1 One receives an indulgence through prayer and works of charity. Indulgences can be received for Catholic. Fellowship. Here. everything from making religious pilgrimages, to serving the poor, to praying a rosary, if these are done with the intention of receiving an indulgence. Normally, receiving the Sacraments of Eucharist and Reconciliation, as well as Cavanaugh Hall Chapel offering prayers for the intentions of the pope, complete the process of obtaining an indulgence. 8:30PM Of primary importance here is to remember that our God is rich in mercy, and He is not a heavenly accountant. The forgiveness an indulgence obtains still comes from the font of God'"s endless love and mercy. Topic: While some members of the Church tried to profit from the sale of God's mercy, a clearer understanding of sin, The Eucharist indulgences, and God's mercy will hopefully put some of these misunderstandings to rest. with Father Kevin RusS(laU, esc Sen~ your questions to Brett Perkins at [email protected]!
