Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time St. Raymond Catholic Church Page Three From our Pastor, Fr. John Higgins Our Regional (Auxiliary Bishop appointed for the San Pedro Region) Bishop has been called to serve as The Ordinary Bishop of Utah. We congratulate him and pray that his ministry grows as a light shining in darkness. He has been very kind to the people that he has served as Bishop here. We do not know yet who will replace him. We’ll receive word from the Archdiocese when this happens.

So, what is the difference between an Auxiliary Bishop and an Ordinary Bishop? An Ordinary Bishop has his own diocese. An Auxiliary Bishop does not have his own diocese, but works as a representative for the Bishop of the Diocese. Our Ordinary Bishop is Archbishop José Gomez. What is the difference between a Bishop and an Archbishop? An Archbishop is the Bishop of an Archdiocese, which is usually larger in population and probably older than a Dio- cese. Archbishop Gomez replaced Cardinal Mahony as the Archbishop of Los Angeles. What is the difference between a Cardinal and a Bishop? A Cardinal can vote in the selection of a Pope. And one does not have to be an Archbishop, a Bishop, or even a Priest to be a Cardinal. One of the most famous Cardinals in U.S. History was Cardinal Avery Dulles, who was a Jesu- it Priest, and not a Bishop. There have been Deacons and Lay Persons in the Church who were Cardinals in history. For awhile the Mayor of Rome was made a Cardinal.

Here at St. Raymond we have four priests. One is a Pastor (me) one is the Associate Pastor (Fr. Paul) and Fr. Ambrose and Fr. Khumbah are both in Residence, one working at St. Francis Hospital and one working at St. Pius St. Matthias Academy and working on his Master’s De- gree at Loyola Marymount University. None of us have the title of “Monsignor”, which is an honorary title, and is kind of an honorary Bishop, but not a real Bishop. Fr. Paul and Fr. Am- brose are in an order called “Discalced Carmelites”, Fr. Khumbah and I are diocesan priests. He belongs to his diocese in Cameroon; I belong to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. When someone asks me what order I am in I laughingly say “I am a disordered Priest”.

There are Deacons and some people talk about Deaconesses, but in history the Deaconesses were the wives of Deacons and not themselves ordained.

All of the above are called “Clergy” or “Clerics” in the Church. There are also Sisters, , Brothers and . Each of those is a little different from the other too. Sisters and Brothers work, usually, in a public institution as nurses, administrators, teachers or principals or in some other ministry. They are not ordained. Some Monks are ordained and are also Deacons or Priests. Nuns and Monks live in , usually separate from the worldly endeavors of other people.

Now you know, if you didn’t before, some of the terms we use in the Catho- lic Church. Just remember, don’t call me “Bro…” heh heh Page Four St. Raymond Catholic Church February 5, 2017
