Confessions from a Culinary Confessor,Movie Review: Ice Age Confessions from a Culinary Confessor By Father Leo Patalinghug Making a good and honest confession is hard to do. Admitting what we’ve done wrong, or the good we failed to do means judgment by the one who sees it all. Despite the challenges, confessions are helpful and necessary. We admit the truth, and the truth will set us free. And thank God, our judge is merciful. Even our sins, in his hands, become lessons to help us improve. Understanding the theology of grace that comes from an honest confession and bringing this understanding into our world and culture means that we must look at the world truthfully, critically – at all times, even when we’re eating in a restaurant. I certainly hope you can sense the deeper reason why the Catholic Review has taken a chance with these Culinary Confessions. We know it’s not easy to be critical. Besides, who am I (a priest) to pass judgment on anyone or anything? Hopefully you can see our purpose is not to give destructive critiques, but to be honest in a constructive and a personally reflective way. We are in the business of serving and feeding God’s people. If we don’t do it, the devil will. Just look at the food-related, confusing tricks played on Adam and Eve. These culinary confessions give us pause to reflect how we are doing in feeding and nourishing people’s faith. We, as the Church – involved in “food service” – can learn from the good and even bad examples of our secular counterparts: restaurants. Culinary Confessions provides opportunities to dine, learn and help our church make faith connections where God’s people are found. And they are hungry, which is why I want to learn best practices in serving hungry souls. If you notice, these “confessions” try to provide little lessons to help us become better servants of faith, not just in church, but everywhere. Experiential faith ought to parallel a great dining experience. It should help us celebrate, whet our appetites, satisfy our hungers, and make us want to share the good news about this “place” (church or parish, for example), where you will be fed the best of foods – the Eucharist! Looking at restaurants critically, we can ask if our church welcomes people, serves them joyfully, provides dynamism and gives comfort to those hungering for God. Some may consider it a stretch to make such a comparison, but I follow the example of Christ who taught some of his greatest lessons around food and the family dinner table. Hopefully our Catholic Review readers will do the same. After all, as I said before, if we don’t feed the flock, the devil will. In future columns, I hope to widen our culinary confessions. We will make a slight change and give “halos” instead of Hail Marys – highlighting restaurants for what they do right rather than giving penances for what they do wrong. And, we will also want to hear more from you! Let us know if you have food and faith connection or a restaurant you’d like for me to review. Tell us what you think of our Culinary Confessions, and keep reading for ways to join me as my guest, on a future culinary confession. Next month, I search for holy smokin’ good barbecue. Do you have a favorite barbecue spot, or even a favorite sauce – or perhaps your own secret recipe? I’ll do my best to share some helpful tips, fun faith analogies and spiritual connections about one of America’s unique culinary experiences. And, as I said before: I’ll be honest. But I will also follow Archbishop William E. Lori’s episcopal motto, “Truth in Charity.” Now that will truly set us free! Visit gracebeforemeals.com for more information. Copyright (c) July 12, 2012 CatholicReview.org Movie Review: Ice Age: Continental Drift By John Mulderig Catholic News Service NEW YORK – As he has been known to do before, the manic saber-toothed squirrel Scrat (voice of Chris Wedge) steals the show in “Ice Age: Continental Drift” (Fox). Other comic elements in this modestly entertaining 3-D animated sequel, co-directed by Steve Martino and Michael Thurmeier, are beginning to feel worn. But lessons in loyal friendship and family solidarity are more durable. And the only red flags for parents are raised by plot developments that might frighten the most sensitive and some fleeting potty humor. When Scrat’s obsessive pursuit of his ever-elusive acorn accidentally causes the natural phenomenon of the title, setting the once-united continents asunder, Earth’s newfound divisions separate good-hearted mammoth Manny (voice of Ray Romano) from his levelheaded wife, Ellie (voice of Queen Latifah), and their teenage daughter, Peaches (voiced by Keke Palmer). This forced family breakup comes at a bad time: Overprotective Manny and headstrong Peaches have been quarreling over her aspirations to hang out with the local in-crowd led by mammoth heartthrob Ethan (voice of rapper Drake), whom she’s trying to woo. Peaches’ membership in Ethan’s clique also spells trouble for her long-standing friendship with mole hog Louis (voiced by Josh Gad) since her snobbish new pals regard him as insufficiently cool. Determined to reunite his clan, Manny is aided by his two closest amigos, sloth Sid (voice of John Leguizamo) and tiger Diego (voice of Denis Leary). But his efforts are temporarily stymied when the trio is taken prisoner by a band of pirates led by bellicose orangutan Captain Gutt (voice of Peter Dinklage). Accompanying them into captivity is Sid’s eccentric Granny (voiced by Wanda Sykes), whose other relatives have dumped her in Sid’s keeping – much as they previously abandoned Sid himself. Happily for her companions, though, Granny is not quite as dotty as she first seems. The shortcomings of this pleasant but uninspired fourth installment of the popular franchise are only emphasized by its being shown in conjunction with “The Longest Daycare,” a brilliant short featuring characters from television’s long-running comedy, “The Simpsons.” Looking at the upside, though, the single sight gag of Marge Simpson dropping her little daughter Maggie off at the Ayn Rand School for Tots is probably worth the whole price of admission. The film contains mild menace and a bit of scatological humor. The Catholic News Service classification is A-I – general patronage. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG – parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children. Mulderig is on the staff of Catholic News Service.

Copyright (c) 2012 Catholic News Service/U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Stella Maris recognized with award for excellent health care By Catholic Review staff Stella Maris in Timonium announced July 11 that it received a national “Silver- Achievement in Quality” award from the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living. Stella Maris was one of 52 health care facilities nationwide and the only Maryland facility to receive the silver-level award this year. “It is an honor for and also a tribute to Stella Maris’ leadership and staff for their continued dedication to providing the highest quality care to the elderly, sick, injured and dying,” “ said Sister of Mercy M. Karen McNally, Stella Maris’ chief administrative officer. The program has three levels: bronze, silver and gold. Facilities must begin at the bronze level before advancing to the next level. In order to be named to the gold level, Stella Maris must fully address the Baldrige Health Care Criteria for Performance Excellence, which sets the award standards. “This award is a benchmark of distinction in the journey to providing high quality care,” said Governor Mark Parkinson, President and CEO of AHCA/NCAL. “The long term and post-acute care community applauds Stella Maris on this great achievement.” Stella Maris’ services include senior living facilities, home care, long-term care, rehabilitation services, dementia care, hospice care, and senior day center services. Copyright (c) July 11, 2012 CatholicReview.org Communion veil prevails for three generations By Catholic Review Staff A Baltimore County family maintains a sacramental tradition, as a first Communion veil was worn by a third generation of the family this year. The veil was originally worn March 24, 1962, when Mary Germaine (Sacha) Schaefer made her first Communion at St. Wenceslaus Church in East Baltimore. In 1990, her daughter, Michelle Mary Schaefer, wore the same veil when she made her first Communion, at Church of the Annunciation in Rosedale. Stephanie Elizabeth Schaefer, a granddaughter, continued the family tradition May 5, wearing the veil to take first Communion at St. Ursula, Parkville. Mary Schaefer and her husband, John, are parishioners of St. Clement Mary Hofbauer, Rosedale. Their son, Michael, and his wife, Nancy, are the parents of Stephanie. Copyright (c) July 11, 2012 CatholicReview.org Mary Germaine Schaefer, Michelle Mary Schaefer and Stephanie Elizabeth Schaefer, mother, daughter and granddaughter, respectively, all wore the same first Communion veil, in 1962, 1990 and most recently May 5. (Courtesy Schaefer Family) Walking tall To Congress XI By Therese Wilson Favors In January 1889, the very first Colored Catholic Congress was held in Washington, D.C. The visionary of the Congress movement, Daniel A. Rudd, invited His Eminence, Cardinal James Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, to offer Mass and address the assembly. Cardinal Gibbons graciously accepted and shared a message which recognized the gravity of the moment. “This day will mark an era in the history of the Colored Catholics of America,” Cardinal Gibbons shared.

In her final section she identifies the Black Catholic subject of Tradition.] O SPEAK ABOUT TRADITION and the traditions of African American T Catholicism is not without contention.1 Almost from the beginning, indeed, even now, the faith praxis of African American Catholics has been met with arrogance and suspicion. These reactions stem chiefly from the notion that African American Christianity is restricted to, if not identical with, a certain form of Protestantism. This misconception has been ab- sorbed not only into our religious, cultural, and social commonsense, but has been formalized in scholarship, that is, in the prevailing American religious and social historiography. On the one hand, authoritative voices among Catholic historians, sociologists, and theologians treat the notion of the immigrant church as the primary interpretative paradigm for Catholic M.

  • A Regional Study of Secular and Sectarian Orphanages and Their Response to Progressive Era Child-Saving Reforms, 1880-1930
    Closer Connections: A Regional Study of Secular and Sectarian Orphanages and Their Response to Progressive Era Child-Saving Reforms, 1880-1930 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences by Debra K. Burgess B.A. University of Cincinnati June 2012 M.A. University of Cincinnati April 2014 Committee Chair: Mark A. Raider, Ph.D. 24:11 Abstract Closer Connections: A Regional Study of Secular and Sectarian Orphanages and Their Response to Progressive Era Child-Saving Reforms, 1880-1930 by Debra K. Burgess Child welfare programs in the United States have their foundation in the religious traditions brought to the country up through the late nineteenth century by immigrants from many European nations. These programs were sometimes managed within the auspices of organized religious institutions but were also found among the ad hoc efforts of religiously- motivated individuals. This study analyzes how the religious traditions of Catholicism, Judaism, and Protestantism established and maintained institutions of all sizes along the lines of faith- based dogma and their relationship to American cultural influences in the Midwest cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh during the period of 1880-1930. These influences included: the close ties between (or constructive indifference exhibited by) the secular and sectarian stakeholders involved in child-welfare efforts, the daily needs of children of immigrants orphaned by parental disease, death, or desertion, and the rising influence of social welfare professionals and proponents of the foster care system.

  • Discussion Guide
    DISCUSSION GUIDE About the Book In May of 1890, the Christian Soldier, an African American news- paper, identified the Catholic journalist and activist Daniel Arthur Rudd as the “greatest negro Catholic in America.” Yet many Catholics today are unaware of Rudd’s efforts to bring about positive social change during the early decades of the Jim Crow era. In Daniel Rudd: Calling a Church to Justice, Gary Agee offers a compelling look at the life and work of this visionary who found inspiration in his Catholic faith to fight for the principles of liberty and justice. Born into slavery, Rudd achieved success early on as the publisher of the American Catholic Tribune, one of the most successful black newspapers of its era, and as the founder of the National Black Catholic Congress. Even as Rudd urged his fellow black Catholics to maintain their spiritual home within the fold of the Catholic Church, he called on that same church to live up to what he believed to be her car- dinal teaching, “the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man.” Rudd’s hopeful spirit lives on today in the important work of the National Black Catholic Congress, as it carries forward his pursuit of social justice. About the Author Gary B. Agee teaches church history for the School of Theology and Christian Ministry at Ander- son University, Indiana. Agee has been a pastor in the Church of God (Anderson) since 1985. He is currently the lead pastor of the Beachwood Church of God (Cam- den, Ohio). Agee is the author of numerous books including A Cry for Justice: Daniel Rudd and His Life in Black Catholicism, Journal- ism, and Activism, 1854–1933 (2011).

  • 1 African American Catholics and “The Black Church”
    African American Catholics and “The Black Church” (A presentation for the Berkley Forum on “the Black Church” in American Public Life) By The Most Reverend Edward K. Braxton, Ph.D., S.T.D. Are African American Catholics considered part of what is popularly called “the Black Church”? In most instances, it would seem we are not. When you hear about the leadership of “the Black Church” impressing for racial and social justice, you are likely to think of the Reverend Senator Raphael Warnock, until recently the Pastor of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta and now, the first African American Senator from Georgia. And when you think of African American Catholic parishes, you are more likely to think of parishes served by White Priests. “The Black Church” is not a single Christian community. The expression usually describes a collective of African American Christians in certain Protestant Christian communities. (An African American “high church” Episcopalian, for example, is quite different from an African American “low church” Jehovah’s Witness.) Because the 3 million African American Catholics are a very small number of the 68-million-member Roman Catholic Church in the United States, we seem invisible to many who speak about “the Black Church.” Most African American Christians are Baptists (though not Southern Baptists). Many are members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The AME has about 2.5 to 3 million members including a significant number of communities in Africa. Many African American Protestants would be surprised to learn that the approximately 3 million African American Catholics is equal to and possibly larger than the AME membership in this country.

  • Celebrating the Contributions of Black Catholics
    Celebrating the contributions of Black Catholics February’s celebration of Black History Month in the United States traces its roots back to the 1920s, but it attained more formal recognition in the 1970s, as is obvious with President Gerald R. Ford’s 1976 Bicentennial Year message about its importance. Ford described Black History Month as an occasion to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Despite the many accomplishments of Black History Month’s goals, its often secular narrative forgets the contributions of Black Catholics. In recognition of that, the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus of the United States began observing November as national Black Catholic History Month nearly 30 years ago. Nonetheless, in order to promote awareness of the accomplishments of all Black Americans, it is important to promote an awareness of some of the many Catholic individuals who have achieved greatness in the face of racism’s plight — and in many cases the supreme greatness of holiness. No national celebration of Black History Month would be complete without including these Catholic stories — or the countless stories of Black Catholics left untold. Michael R.
