  • News from National Priest of Integrity—Nominees
    In the Vineyard, December 12, 2009 News from National Roman Missal Controversy Voice of the Faithful received a letter last week from Father Michael Ryan, pastor of St James Cathedral in Seattle, Washington. Father Ryan is concerned about the controversial new translations of the Roman Missal. He has published an article in the December 14 issue of America Magazine entitled “What if we just said wait? The case for a grassroots review of the new Roman Missal.” (http://www.americamagazine.org/content/article.cfm?article_id=12045) Father Ryan has also set up a website www.whatifwejustsaidwait.org for people to make comments that he hopes to bring to U.S. Bishops to encourage further thought on this issue. The National Catholic Reporter also ran an article on this issue in October. http://ncronline.org/news/faith-parish/slavishly-literal-translation-missal-criticized Priest of Integrity—Nominees Two priests, Reverend Joseph Fowler and Reverend Donald Cozzens, were honored as Priests of Integrity at VOTF’s National Conference, “Making our Voices Heard,” held on Long Island NY on October 30-31, 2009. Along with these two, four other priests were nominated for recognition. In this and following issues of In the Vineyard we will honor these priests (in alphabetical order) with articles about the work that they are doing for others and for the good of our church. Reverend Roy Bourgeois was enthusiastically nominated by the New York City affiliate of VOTF. His is a name not unknown to many of us, and he has a broad base of support from the people he serves.

  • Rev. Roy Bourgeois, M.M. PO Box 3330, Columbus, GA 31903 November 7, 2008
    Rev. Roy Bourgeois, M.M. PO Box 3330, Columbus, GA 31903 November 7, 2008 TO THE CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH, THE VATICAN I was very saddened by your letter dated October 21, 2008, giving me 30 days to recant my belief and public statements that support the ordination of women in our Church, or I will be excommunicated. I have been a Catholic priest for 36 years and have a deep love for my Church and ministry. When I was a young man in the military, I felt God was calling me to the priesthood. I entered Maryknoll and was ordained in 1972. Over the years I have met a number of women in our Church who, like me, feel called by God to the priesthood. You, our Church leaders at the Vatican, tell us that women cannot be ordained. With all due respect, I believe our Catholic Church’s teaching on this issue is wrong and does not stand up to scrutiny. A 1976 report by the Pontifical Biblical Commission supports the research of Scripture scholars, canon lawyers and many faithful Catholics who have studied and pondered the Scriptures and have concluded that there is no justification in the Bible for excluding women from the priesthood. As people of faith, we profess that the invitation to the ministry of priesthood comes from God. We profess that God is the Source of life and created men and women of equal stature and dignity. The current Catholic Church doctrine on the ordination of women implies our loving and all-powerful God, Creator of heaven and earth, somehow cannot empower a woman to be a priest.

    Van Etten 1 Sarah Van Etten LATI 341 Analytic Paper 2: Disturbing the Peace 6 April 2009 Aligning Over Time: The Process of Framing in the Movement to Close the School of the Americas Every November a protest aimed at closing the School of the Americas (SOA) draws thousands of supporters to Columbus, Georgia where people of all ages, colors, and religious backgrounds speak out against the hypocrisy and immorality of their government. In 2006, over 20,000 protesters made the journey, demonstrating the successful development and growth of SOA Watch from a one-man mission for international peace and justice to a popular social movement. This growth, while rapid between the years of 1993 and 1997, is founded in decades of the personal observations and reflections of Father Roy Bourgeois. Without his life experiences, dedication, and perseverance, all of which contributed to key decisions concerning the direction and framing of the movement, SOA Watch would not exist. Others could have heard the same call to stop repressive US involvement in Latin America, but it is unlikely that another leader would have framed the movement in the same way. Bourgeois’ particular process of integrating Snow and Benford’s diagnostic, prognostic, and motivational frames has determined the momentum and outcome of the movement. The development of these different frames parallels the chronological narrative of Bourgeois’ life, making the movement to close the School of the Americas an ideal case study for applying these theoretical claims. Framing Theory Framing, as defined by two of its most prominent scholars, “assign[s] meaning to and interpret[s] relevant events and conditions in ways that are intended to mobilize potential adherents and constituents, to garner bystander support, and to demobilize antagonists,” (Snow and Benford, 198).
