THOMAS KOYS, M.A.,S.T.L., PASTOR Hopefully, you have noticed the icon of the Cross in the RMC articles. Here’s an explanation from Fr. Malave, who is the Cardinal’s liason to RMC. “There is one instance in particular that provides inspiration for us and is the reason the image of the San Damiano cross adorns many of our RMC mate- rials, and is chronicled in the life of St. Francis of Assisi; “He was walking one day by the church of San Damiano, which was abandoned by everyone and almost in ruins. Lead by the Spirit he went in to pray and knelt down devoutly before the crucifix. He was shaken by unusual experiences and dis- covered that he was different from when he entered. As soon as he had this feeling, there occurred something unheard of in previous ages; with the lips of the painting, the image of Christ crucified spoke to him. “Francis, go re- build my house, as you can see, it is all being destroyed.” (from Thomas of Celano’s book). “This is a central moment not only in the life of St. Francis but also in the life of the Church and the whole world. Beginning with his own heart and allowing the Lord to draw close, St. Francis was able to renew the church of his day. And now it is our turn. What we are experiencing today, is not the first time that the church has needed renewal, nor will it be the last. The Church as the Body of Christ, is alive and growing. At time, like the earthly body of Christ, it has parts that are covered in dirt, are bruised, and weighed down, but remains always the very source of life. This continual need for renewal gives us hope and it gives us energy because we know that it is Jesus Christ who is victorious. God works through men and women throughout the ages to renew His Church, and we will see it and bear witness to it today with those around us. This continual return to renewal, like the changing from winter to spring, from Lent to Easter, reminds us that we are experiencing a natural rhythm of the life of the Church. And with that, a moment of grace to join in the work of our Savior.” I couldn’t agree more with Fr. Malave with regards to the constant need of reform and renewal in the Church. St. Francis is of course one of our greatest saints. However, I think we make a mistake if we consider what we are going through at this time as a “natural rhythm of life”. Natural rhythms are not associated with human choices or acts of the will. The coming of winter is beyond our willing it into being. There is a very important lost lesson of the Protestant “reform/renewal”, that we need to consider now more than ever. One of Martin Luther’s major books was titled “The Bondage of the Will”. In his intense desire to free the church from cor- ruption, he concluded that us humans have no power to choose the good, we can’t be not corrupt. He wrote “We are all fallen, but also every part of us, our whole being, including our intellect and our will, is fallen. And so, our will is not free, it is bound to sin.” If we do not take a good look at the recent past of our church’s life, and if we do not consider mistakes that we as individuals or as the Catholic hierarchy in general have made, we will most assuredly be bound to increase the acceleration of our downward spiral. We will miss those areas of sin that need correction. For St. Francis, true renewal requires true repentance. That is why one of the most important elements of RMC, which is sorely missing, is the call to a serious examination of con- science by one and all, from every Catholic up to the Pope himself. The above thoughts are obviously theological/philosophical in nature. This constitutes an essential element of our efforts to renew God’s One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, yet, another key part of our situation is the emotional/subjective impact on parishioners and the practical matter of parish restructuring. To that end, I encourage you to share some thoughts on the “RMC Parishioner input questionnaire” which can be found in back of church. Since many have asked about the timeline of RMC, here it is… (cont’d on pg. 3) Fourteenth Ordinary Sunday Page Three Notice: there will be an important meeting just for St. James parishioners, Tuesday Aug 20, 7pm & Sept 6th, here in Sag Hall. Also, please come to Wednesday’s Wine and Wisdom discussions to share ideas and questions. ************ Our local “El Camino” To celebrate the Feast of St. James, why not put your walking shoes on and join us for a 3 mile hike, from St. Cyril & Methodius church to St. James, along the Centennial Trail. There will be a special Mass at St. Cyril’s at 9:30am. Hike will kick off about 10:15am. Many Reasons Not to DO Church It says ALL have sinned, not just some. (Or if you live down south, it says: “All y’all have sinned…”) By Deacon Bill Dunn The main problem with church is churchgoers. But that’s true for There are many important reasons why people who believe in every human institution, organization, and family group through- God ought to do church, that is, become a member of a local out the history of the world. As soon as you add human beings to Catholic community and attend Mass on a regular basis the mix, you are certain to have trouble. That’s what we humans do best: cause trouble. It’s because of our sinful nature. However, I fully understand there are many arguments against going to church. Here are just a few: So, you’re not going to hear me try to rebut those arguments about church. They’re all true. But I will comment on that final Church is boring. They say and do the same things over and complaint listed earlier about going to church, the one where over again. people often claim that they don’t get anything out of church. • They’re always asking for money. The fact is, we’re not supposed to get something out of church; we’re suppose to put something into church.

And then there is the biggest complaint of all about going to It is a remarkable Christian paradox: only when we stop focusing church: “I don’t get anything out of it.” on getting something out of church and instead focus on putting something in, will we actually get something out of it. I’m tempted to rebut each of these arguments, but instead let me say this: they are all true.

  • Politics, History, and the Pet Shop Boys
    H-Announce Call for chapter proposals — A Cloud in a Box: Politics, History, and the Pet Shop Boys Announcement published by Bodie Ashton on Wednesday, December 2, 2020 Type: Call for Publications Date: February 19, 2021 Subject Fields: Cultural History / Studies, Film and Film History, Music and Music History, Popular Culture Studies, Theatre & Performance History / Studies “Politicians are a bit pathetic. There’s no two ways about that.” — Neil Tennant. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN the Pet Shop Boys and the political has always been one of contention. In their four decades (and counting) of pop music, the duo—Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe—have amassed a large discography, not to mention film scores, movie productions, and their own stage shows. In the process, they have often thrown a critical light on what they see as the great hypocrisies of music and stardom. ‘I don’t really like the idea of people projecting themselves as being important humanitarian figures, which is the tendency for rock personalities nowadays’, Tennant once told journalists, in reference to Bono and U2—a reference further explored in the song How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously? on the 1990 album Behaviour. In an interview with Reuters, Tennant elaborated: ‘I don’t want to talk about it. We are musicians, not politicians.’ That being said, there is no doubt that the Pet Shop Boys have shaped their music, their careers, and their very presence through politics, the presentation of memory, and history. Tennant’s background in political history aside, the oeuvre of the group is littered with allusions to historical figures, events, and circumstances, from King Zog of Albania and T.E.

  • Teaching Accounting: Setting the Right Tone with a Tune
    TEACHING ACCOUNTING: SETTING THE RIGHT TONE WITH A TUNE Matthew A. Phillips and Jacob T. Crowley Ohio Northern University Why, when entering an academic environment do we remember more often those things that entertain, enthuse, motivate, and, most importantly, focus us? The Pathways Commission recommends that academicians transform the first course in accounting and one approach as outlined herein, does just that. The first accounting course plays a significant role in attracting diverse and high-potential students into the profession. We introduce the integration of music into accounting principles pedagogy, and analyze its effect on students’ enthusiasm, motivation, and retention. Using a pre-post instrument with experimental and control groups, we test the efficacy of using music to enhance the understanding and retention of accounting concepts. Additionally, we present qualitative data to further support the effectiveness of this pedagogical approach. The results support the hypothesis that infusing music into the accounting principles classroom creates a better environment for students to enjoy, get excited about, and focus on the topic. Introduction and Background From the perspective of a practitioner who spent over 25 years in business roles including Chief Audit Executive (CAE) and Chief Financial Officer, Author 1 knows that many of his non-financial colleagues viewed accounting as tedious, dull, and in some cases, distressing. As a CAE speaking annually to 100 worldwide leaders about accounting and auditing, he played music to develop interest in the topic, and it worked. Instead of checking emails or skipping his presentation entirely, his co-workers’ curiosity about how “The Rolling Stones” and Sarbanes-Oxley connected was too interesting to ignore.

  • 1. Kiera Welch, Niceville, Fl This Isn't a Math Question, but It Is
    1. Kiera Welch, Niceville, Fl This isn't a math question, but it is one. I’m going into sixth grade and I’m scared about math. How did you survive math with everything else on your mind. Thank you. Hi Kiera! I was lucky to get a few teachers who went out of their way to make math friendly and accessible. I used to be terrified of math! Believe me, I know just how you feel. I was so lucky to have a few teachers who put a “friendly face” on math, so it didn’t seem as scary anymore. Sure, math will always take some time and patience, but it’s so worth it when you stick to it, and suddenly “get it”- it’s a great feeling. Helping kids just like you to understand that math doesn’t have to be scary is one of my main goals in life. That’s why I wrote “Math Doesn’t Suck.” I mean, how scary can a book be that has the word “suck” in it? Remember, when school starts, don’t expect to understand stuff in your math class right away. Sometimes if we expect to get something right away, if we don’t, it blocks our mind and we mentally shut down. We think “I don’t get it. I’ll never be able to get it.” But those are two entirely different statements! Just because you don’t get it now, doesn’t mean it won’t click after just a little more reading and thinking about it.

  • BOREDOM ESCAPES US: a CULTURAL COLLAGE in ELEVEN STOREYS by Lesley Kenny a Thesis Submitted in Conformity with the Requirements
    BOREDOM ESCAPES US: A CULTURAL COLLAGE IN ELEVEN STOREYS by Lesley Kenny A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Sociology University of Toronto ©Copyright by Lesley Kenny (2009) BOREDOM ESCAPES US: A CULTURAL COLLAGE IN ELEVEN STOREYS Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Lesley Kenny Department of Sociology University of Toronto Abstract Few sociologists have addressed the concept of boredom despite interest in the subject and experience of boredom from psychology, philosophy, the arts and popular culture. Classical sociological concepts of alienation, anomie and disenchantment are related to boredom, but do not address it directly. The history of the word boredom itself is not clear, though it appears it was first used in the late 19th century. Most authors agree that an increase in individualism and the concomitant rise in secularization, combined with industrial changes in labour and increased bureaucracy, help to explain a perceived increase in the experience of boredom. This dissertation is a phenomenological exploration of boredom, informed by the writings of Martin Heidegger and Walter Benjamin on the subject. Inspired by Benjamin’s method of literary montage, from his monumental Passagenwerk, I construct a cultural collage of the subject of boredom. I use the metaphor of storeys (the levels of a building) as an organizing device to construct the empirical work of this project. These storeys include a consideration and analysis of: billboards, internet advertising, the reflections of an overseas development worker, art installations, a poem, a greeting card, a play, song lyrics and Kafka’s short story character, the hunger artist.
