Miami Appointments Pope tells doctors: support life ^VOICE , SEPTEMBER 26, 1975 VOL. XVII No. 29 VATICAN CITY — (NC) — Pope Paul VI has reaffirmed the Church's opposition to euthanasia, and has called upon doctors to support life to the very last. Addressing 1,000 delegates to the Third World Congress of the College of Psychosomatic Medicine Sept. 18, the Pope said: "Concerning the value of each human person, we wish to remind you that it is the physician's duty to be always at the service of life, and to assist the individual to the very end, without ever accepting euthanasia or renouncing the very human duty to help a person to end his days with dignity." SPEAKING in French to delegates from more than 50 countries of five continents, Pope Paul recalled the teaching of Pope Pius XII on the use of pain-killing drugs. Pope Pius XII, the present Pope noted, said in 1958 that such drugs could be used prudently by competent people, "but never so as to diminish personal respon- sibility or against the rights that are proper to a human person." Pope Paul commended the perspective of psychosomatic medicine, which sees the doctor-patient relationship as one between two human beings, in which the patient loses none of his human value because of his condition (Psychosomatic medicine deals with psychological causes of physical symptoms). NOTING the importance of family support for those afflicted with psychosomatic ills, the Pope called upon the delegates to stress the role of the family for the physical and moral well being of individuals. He cited "especially the most vulnerable-the in- fant, the aged and the sick, which is to say, all of those who are not productive, who are abandoned by a mentality not based on a true conception of man nor on the Christian spirit." ri- '"is'-'i- § ••. r/)/s child is a little young to appreciate her first experience with religious education; but her mother and hundreds of other men and women were inspired at com- missioning ceremonies held at parishes throughout the Archdiocese on Cateche- tical Sunday to spread the word of God through teaching CCD classes.

  • Mendicant Orders of the Middle Ages
    Mendicant Orders of the Middle Ages The Monks and Monasteries of the early Middle Ages played a critical roal in the preservation and promotion of Christian culture. The accomplishments of the monks, especially during the 'Dark Ages', are too numerous to list. They were the both missionaries and custodians of Catholic culture for generations, and the monastic reforms of the tenth century paved the way for the reforms of the secular clergy that followed. By the beginning of the 13th century, however, there was seen a need for a new type of religious community, and thus were born the Mendicant Orders. The word 'Mendicant' means beggar, and this was due to the fact that the Mendicant Friars, in contrast to the Benedictine Monks, lived primarily in towns, rather than on propertied estates. Since they did not own property, they were not beholden to secular rulers and were free to serve the poor, preach the gospel, and uphold Christian ideals without compromise. The Investiture Controversy of the previous century, and the underlying problems of having prelates appointed by and loyal to local princes, was one of the reasons for the formation of mendicant orders. Even though monks took a vow of personal poverty, they were frequently members of wealthy monasteries, which were alway prone to corruption and politics. The mendicant commitment to poverty, therefore, prohibited the holding of income producing property by the orders, as well as individuals. The poverty of the mendicant orders gave them great freedom, in the selection of their leaders, in the their mobility, and in their active pursuits.

    The Holy See DISCURSO DEL SANTO PADRE JUAN PABLO II AL SEÑOR AUGUSTO ANTONIOLI VÁSQUEZ NUEVO EMBAJADOR DE PERÚ ANTE LA SANTA SEDE* Lunes 18 de diciembre de 1995 Mr. Ambassador, I. It gives me great pleasure to receive the Letters you present accrediting you as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Peru to the Holy See. As I welcome you, I would like to thank you for your kind words as well as for the attentive greeting which your President, Mr. Alberto Fujimori, has wished to convey to me through you and to which I respond by asking you kindly to express my best wishes for peace and well-being to him. 2. You have come in order to represent a nation that has enjoyed and is enjoying the widespread and deeply-rooted presence of the Catholic faith in the life of its citizens. Many strong ties exist which have always linked Peru with the Church and have shaped the life and feelings of its people. In this regard, I am pleased to recall the luminous examples of holiness which your country has offered the Church and humanity: St Rose of Lima and St Martin de Porres, St Toribio de Mogrovejo, St John Macias and St Francis Solano, Blessed Ana de Monteagudo and others. Moreover, the Church in this nation, under her Pastors' wise and prudent guidance, is now working steadfastly to ensure that the moral values and the Christian concept of life continue to inspire all those who, in one way or another, are striving to improve their homeland.

Let me also express my appreciation to you for your leadership in promoting protection of human rights as a key aspect of U.S. foreign policy. I serve as the Chairman of the Committee on International Policy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Committee’s mission and major priorities include the advancement of human rights and religious freedom. I will summarize my remarks and ask that my full written testimony be entered into the record. This testimony of our bishops’ Conference will address: the importance and nature of religious freedom and its relevance to conflicts in the world today; and at the request of the Subcommittee, religious freedom and the status of Christians in some Islamic countries; and recommendations for U.S. policies to improve religious freedom in countries with Muslim majorities. Given the limitations of time and focus, today’s testimony will not provide a comprehensive overview of our serious concerns for religious freedom in countries without Muslim majorities. In addition, clearly our Conference will continue to refine and develop our perspectives on Christian­Muslim relations in light of our ongoing dialogue and experience.

They founded what is me, I was naked and you clothed me, today, the largest non-governmental I was sick and you visited me, provider of social services in South Florida. Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of I was in prison and you came to me.” Miami, Inc. with an annual budget that Matthew 25:35-36 exceeds $20 million, has surpassed the expectations of its Great Depression era founders. On March 8, 1931, the Associated Catholic Charities was formally established in Miami and named the Catholic Welfare Bureau. From the beginning, the agency’s focus was to restore the dignity of people who were poor and vulnerable and help them return to self-sufficiency. They collaborated with other social service agencies to address the needs of Miami’s growing population, which by 1940 had grown to almost two million. The most pressing needs at the time included: family problems, out-of-wedlock pregnancies, juvenile delinquency, immigrants threatened with deportation, and children needing foster care. In 1958, The Most Rev. Coleman F. Carroll was installed as the first bishop of the newly established Diocese of Miami. He appointed Fr. Bryan O. Walsh as Director of Catholic Charities. Fr. Walsh envisioned the future of the Church’s social development work as a partnership among voluntary and public social service agencies.
