Among his observations party affiliation is gathered and forwarded to leadership, who is that nobody votes for a party on election day; we vote for a are able to make it as public as they choose to. Thus, it would candidate. And any candidate is bound to carry around a very be entirely possible that my name (and yours) could be disclosed mixed bag of positions and passions and policies, some of which as being a so-called “registered” Democrat or Republican merely may conform nicely with the gospel of Jesus Christ and others for having shown up to vote. It was the archbishop’s judgment, of which may be more nearly antithetical to it—all in the same and indeed that of all the bishops of Minnesota, that this could person. It is a time-honored strategy for a politician to equate compromise the ability of priests to minister effectively amid himself/herself with the ideals of both party and country, so as the communities they serve.

But for a thoughtful Christian animosity between people. that’s a trap for the reasons that Archbishop McElroy stated. The abstract ideals of the United States of America are, for the Our Catholic church is not beholden to one party or another, most part, honorable (if they were perfect, we wouldn’t have but is rather one of the few communities that can be an agent of amendments to our Constitution), but actual political leaders of unity rather than ideological warfare.

And we distort our mission when we attempt to make the of our religious integrity story of Jesus Christ “fit” too neatly into the political landscape of by being forced to align life or to subordinate it to any merely human ideology—any. with one party or another. Archbishop Hebda’s letter to priests raises an issue that applies Obviously the archbishop’s just as much to every other member of the Christian community. letter could not have If we are responsible citizens, we cannot avoid selecting one ordered me to stay home on candidate or another when we vote, but we cannot allow that primary day, but in fact I did decision to define us as disciples of Christ.

Tresponse to input that was received during a breakfast Some have featured guest speakers, such as Fr. Mike Byron, gathering for men earlier in the year. Their mission is to provide Fr. Steve McMichael, and Deacon Charles Bobertz on topics an environment where men feel comfortable sharing their ideas, relevant to men. Other gatherings have been centered around issues, and perspectives to enhance their own spiritual/faith viewing and discussing a video featuring noted speakers such development and growth.

Written by Scott Brazil, Director of Faith Formation MAY 2020 7 Lifelong Faith Formation Spiritual Growth Requires both Roots and New Perspectives hen I began to reflect on spiritual growth, one of the Wcore values of Pax Christi, I realized that I felt somewhat unqualified to write about it. I felt that if my spirituality was a plant, it would look more like a seedling than a fully-grown crop; something not yet ready to be harvested and shared with others. Last spring I participated in the sacrament of Confirmation and for the 13 years prior, I attended weekly faith formation classes. Currently I am an elementary school catechist, participant in high school faith formation events, and member of the Lifelong Faith Formation Council.

  • Prince Talks: the Silence Is Broken the Purple Pleasure Palace Houses the Genius Behind 'Around the World in a Day'
    Prince Talks: The Silence Is Broken The Purple Pleasure Palace houses the genius behind 'Around the World in a Day' Prince on the cover of Rolling Stone. "Raspberry Beret" video still By Neal Karlen September 12, 1985 John Nelson turns sixty-nine today, and all the semiretired piano man wants for his birthday is to shoot some pool with his firstborn son. "He's real handy with a cue," says Prince, laughing, as he threads his old white T-Bird through his old black neighborhood toward his old man's house. "He's so cool. The man knows what time it is." Hard time is how life has traditionally been clocked in North Minneapolis; this is the place 'Time' forgot twelve years ago when the magazine's cover trumpeted "The Good Life in Minnesota," alongside a picture of Governor Wendell Anderson holding up a walleye. Though tame and middle-class by Watts and Roxbury standards, the North Side offers some of the few mean streets in town. The old sights bring out more Babbitt than Badass in Prince as he leads a leisurely tour down the main streets of his inner-city Gopher Prairie. He cruises slowly, respectfully: stopping completely at red lights, flicking on his turn signal even when no one's at an intersection. Gone is the wary Kung Fu Grasshopper voice with which Prince whispers when meeting strangers or accepting Academy Awards. Cruising peacefully with the window down, he's proof in a paisley jump suit that you can always go home again, especially if you never really left town.

  • Chicagoland Music Festival but from a Black Perspec- Omnipresent Backdrop
    American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLIV, Number 2 Spring 2015 Black and White, then “Red” All Over: Chicago’s American Negro Music Festival Mark Burford, Reed College The functions of public musical spectacle in 1940s Chicago were bound up with a polyphony of stark and sometimes contradic- tory changes. Chicago’s predominantly African American South Side had become more settled as participants in the first waves of the Great Migration established firm roots, even as the city’s “Black Belt” was newly transformed by fresh arrivals that bal- looned Chicago’s black population by 77% between 1940 and 1950. Meanwhile, over the course of the decade, African Ameri- cans remained attentive to a dramatic narrowing of the political spectrum, from accommodation of a populist, patriotic progres- sivism to one dominated by virulent Cold War anticommunism. Sponsored by the Chicago Defender, arguably the country’s flagship black newspaper, and for a brief time the premiere black-organized event in the country, the American Negro Music Festival (ANMF) was through its ten years of existence respon- sive to many of the communal, civic, and national developments during this transitional decade.

  • Jazz Jazz Is a Uniquely American Music Genre That Began in New Orleans Around 1900, and Is Characterized by Improvisation, Stron
    Jazz Jazz is a uniquely American music genre that began in New Orleans around 1900, and is characterized by improvisation, strong rhythms including syncopation and other rhythmic invention, and enriched chords and tonal colors. Early jazz was followed by Dixieland, swing, bebop, fusion, and free jazz. Piano, brass instruments especially trumpets and trombones, and woodwinds, especially saxophones and clarinets, are often featured soloists. Jazz in Missouri Both St. Louis and Kansas City have played important roles in the history of jazz in America. Musicians came north to St. Louis from New Orleans where jazz began, and soon the city was a hotbed of jazz. Musicians who played on the Mississippi riverboats were not really playing jazz, as the music on the boats was written out and not improvised, but when the boats docked the musicians went to the city’s many clubs and played well into the night. Some of the artists to come out of St. Louis include trumpeters Clark Terry, Miles Davis and Lester Bowie, saxophonist Oliver Nelson, and, more recently, pianist Peter Martin. Because of the many jazz trumpeters to develop in St. Louis, it has been called by some “City of Gabriels,” which is also the title of a book on jazz in St. Louis by jazz historian and former radio DJ, Dennis Owsley. Jazz in Kansas City, like jazz in St. Louis, grew out of ragtime, blues and band music, and its jazz clubs thrived even during the Depression because of the Pendergast political machine that made it a 24-hour town. Because of its location, Kansas City was connected to the “territory bands” that played the upper Midwest and the Southwest, and Kansas City bands adopted a feel of four even beats and tended to have long solos.

  • Every Once in a While, an Album Arrives Just in Time to Give the People a Voice
    Every once in a while, an album arrives just in time to give the people a voice. The Vietnam-era got Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On in 1971, Gulf War-stricken Generation X had Pearl Jam’s Ten and Rage Against the Machine’s self-titled debut, and Ice Cube held a mirror up to the Los Angeles riots on The Predator in 1992. Amidst a groundswell of tensions and upheavals, D’Angelo and The Vanguard delivered Black Messiah upon unsuspecting, yet receptive masses on December 15, 2014. It not only broke a 14-year studio silence from the Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and producer, but it also reaffirmed the need for raw, righteous, and real soul. Its impact could immediately be felt when it landed at #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart and #5 on the Top 200. The fans spoke, and the critics did as well. The New York Times, Spin, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, The Los Angeles Times, NPR, The Hollywood Reporter, and countless others extolled the album for both its music and message, thus usurping countless “Best of 2014” music lists. However, D’Angelo truly connected once he hit the stage again. He made his Saturday Night Live debut on February 1st, 2015 with a silky performance of “Really Love” plus a poignant and powerful rendition of “The Charade” from Black Messiah. Hoodie on, guitar in hand, and surrounded by The Vanguard with statements such as “I Can’t Breathe” and “Black Lives Matter” emblazoned upon their t-shirts, D’Angelo left audiences speechless.
