  • Bernard Martial & Philippine Duchesne
    BERNARD MARTIAL and PHILIPPINE DUCHESNE: TWO MISSIONARIES to LOUISIANA By Emory C. Webre 6542 Winnebago Street St. Louis, MO 63109 [email protected] Father Bertrand (Bernard) Martial, a priest from Bordeaux, France, served under bishops in four dioceses on two continents and was closely connected with important events in the dioceses of Bordeaux, Bardstown, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Detroit, as well activities in France and Italy. There are at least 83 documents in the files of the Propaganda Fide in Rome that are related to him in some way. I have located close to 250 letters from, to, or about him written during the years 1817 to 1835. He influenced the selection of one bishop in the United States and the rejection of another, and was himself considered for the Sees of New Orleans and Vincennes. He founded schools in Bordeaux, Baton Rouge and New Orleans. He escorted a future saint on her voyage to New Orleans and St. Louis. He was associated with three communities of religious women: the Religious of the Sacred Heart in St. Louis, Missouri, the Ursulines in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Kentucky. 1. FATHER BERNARD MARTIAL Born in Bordeaux, France about 1770, Bertrand Martial studied for the priesthood, first, in France, and then in Italy when the French Revolution forced the closing of Catholic seminaries. A death notice in the Paris journal, l’Ami de la religion et du roi, gave some details of his life before he came to Louisiana. The death of Father Martial, in New Orleans, has stirred fitting remorse in Bordeaux, where he lived for some time, and where he rendered services that will not be forgotten.

  • Religious Leaders Dialogue on the Death Penalty

While we address the leaders of our state, our legislators, our Governor and other elected officials, we also speak to all people of good will in presenting both our moral and practical reservations over the issue of capital punishment. We do not, however, speak alone. We note that in our congregations, our parishes, our synagogues and throughout our communities increasing numbers of Texans are beginning to question the wisdom, efficacy and virtue of the death penalty as a means to confront crime and achieve justice. We join with many Texans in questioning our state’s death penalty system, which has consistently been shown to be unfair and inaccurate. Texas leads the nation in the number of executions carried out each year. In fact, our state is a significant outlier in this regard, accounting for more than one third of all executions nationwide since 1976.
