    Symposium on the 2015 Synod on the Family Conscience and the Synod: An Evolving Quaestio Disputata James T. Bretzke, S.J. ERTAINLY UNDER THE FRANCIS PAPACY our Roman teapot is filled to the brim with leaves clamoring to be read and deciphered—too many in fact for even a cursory overview. C Instead I would like to articulate one hypothesis and then probe it by looking at just a couple of the tea-leaves that have collected around contrasting views on the relationship of conscience and Church teaching. First the hypothesis: I believe that a helpful way to read the tea- leaves is by considering them in terms of a major cultural paradigm shift taking place in the Church.1 This shift began with the run-up to Vatican II and we’ve been witnessing something of a protracted tug- of-war ever since. Clearly in the Franciscan papacy the energy has again shifted and this in turn has occasioned a considerable amount of push-back from forces that once enjoyed great influence in the previ- ous two pontificates. One core tension revolves around various understandings of con- science, and especially in connection to its relationship to the Church’s magisterium. For example, in the Instrumentum laboris for the Octo- ber 2015 Synod, the paragraphs on conscience, especially no. 137, came in for considerable critical attention before the Synod opened. The problematic paragraph suggested that couples “under the regular guidance of a competent spiritual guide… [could] make choices which are humanly fulfilling and ones which conform to God’s will” and that these might strike a balance between the “objective moral norm which does not permit considering the act of generation a reality to be de- 1 For a fuller treatment of this paradigm shift in the papacy of Pope Francis, see James T.

  • Restored Order Receiving the Sacraments of Initiation in Their Original Order
    Restored Order Receiving the Sacraments of Initiation in their original order Baptism Confirmation Eucharist Restored Order Recently Bishop Thomas Paprocki promulgated a new norm • restoring of the original order of the Sacraments of Initiation. • “Looking at the question of the sequence and age for the reception of the Sacraments of Initiation, the (Diocesan) Synod voted that the Sacraments of Christian Initiation shall be offered in the proper sequence (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) • for children as well as adults. Restored Order • To promote discipleship and stewardship as a way of life from an early age, • those who are baptized as infants are to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist at about the age of reason, which in this diocese will normally be in their third grade of elementary school, • after they have properly prepared and have made sacramental confession.” (Homily from the Closing of the Fourth Diocesan Synod, November 26, 2017) What is the historical and theological vision for Christian Initiation? • In the early Church the sacraments of initiation were three: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. • They were celebrated together in a single rite, with a bishop as celebrant. • This was the practice of the Roman Rite up until the 5th or 6th century when bishops could no longer be present at all baptisms, leading to a time of separation between baptism and confirmation. • At first the time of separation was short, but as time went on, the delay for the bishop to arrive grew. • Still the Church celebrated the sacraments in the order of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist until last century.

  • Springfield Diocese
    Clerical Abuse and Misconduct: Diocese of Springfield in Illinois by Gene Thomas Gomulka A former North American College (NAC) seminarian, Anthony Gorgia, filed an explosive lawsuit against Cardinal Timothy Dolan and NAC officials, including the NAC rector and Diocese of Springfield in Illinois priest, Father Peter Harman. Filled with graphic details, the lawsuit alleges that Gorgia was reprised against and coerced into leaving seminary after he received word from other NAC seminarians about inappropriate physical behavior toward vulnerable seminarians by the NAC vice-rector, Washington Archdiocese priest, Father Adam Park, which Gorgia himself witnessed. The lawsuit maintains that Gorgia was perceived as a threat to revealing the depth of the secret homosexual lifestyles of NAC officials, including Harman. As such, according to the lawsuit, Harman and Dolan used entirely false and easily disprovable claims as a pretext to extract Gorgia from the seminary without any justification. A priest with decades of seminary experience attested to the fact that no seminarian is discontinued just three months into the academic year after having just received the faculty’s unanimous vote to advance to that year, as Gorgia did, or having a stellar and exemplary record, as Gorgia had, on the basis of absurd reasons. If a seminarian is discontinued in the middle of an academic year, it is either because he has discerned he is not called to priesthood, or because he committed a serious offense. Insofar as neither of these conditions apply to Gorgia, the real motives of Harman, Dolan, and complicit clerics’ actions demand explanation. To understand why Dolan had such an intense interest in covering up misconduct at the expense of causing harm to Gorgia, one needs to consider the ordeal Father Ryszard Biernat suffered in the Diocese of Buffalo.

  • Exorcist Shortage Has U.S. Bishops Trying to Recruit More
    Exorcist shortage has U.S. bishops trying to recruit more A crucifix and holy water are among the religious items used in the rite of exorcism.Nancy Wiechec, Catholic News Service U.S. bishops are looking for a few good men to become exorcists. In response to growing interest in the rite of exorcism and a shortage of trained exorcists nationwide, the bishops are sponsoring a two-day conference prior to their 2010 fall general assembly Nov. 15-18 in Baltimore. Interest in the Nov. 12-13 Conference on the Liturgical and Pastoral Practice of Exorcism proved great. When registration closed Nov. 1, 56 bishops and 66 priests had signed up. Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Ill., chairman of the bishops’ Committee on Canonical Affairs and Church Governance, told Catholic News Service he knows of perhaps five or six exorcists in the United States. They are overwhelmed with requests to perform the rite, he said. “Actually, each diocese should have its own resource (person),” Paprocki said. Only those priests who get permission from their bishops can perform an exorcism after proper training. At Baptism, the rite of exorcism is performed in a simple form. A solemn or major exorcism, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “is directed at the expulsion of demons or to the liberation from demonic possession through the spiritual authority which Jesus entrusted in his Church.” Scripture contains several examples of Jesus casting out evil spirits from people. “We don’t think that’s poetic metaphor,” Paprocki said. Despite the many requests for an exorcism, the actual number of people possessed by a demon is far fewer than people fear, Paprocki said.

Father Larry Young, the pastor of St. Patrick School in Rodeo, who also served as interim superintendent during the past year, celebrated the Mass of the Holy Spirit. “Our children are facing so many critical issues,” Father Young said in his homily. “You are there to shape and form those young lives.” He encouraged the educators: “Love one another. Be happy.” New Superintendent Kathleen Radecke told the gathering, “I know the difference Catholic education makes. It is what we do. It is who we are.” In expanding on the theme of hope and joy, she said, “I see joy as a conscious choice, how we choose to live our lives, how we minister to our VOICE HOLIC T students and each other.” The superintendent unfurled an altar HE CA cloth made for her as an end-of-the-year T ICH/ gift from her first class — second grad- R ers at Holy Spirit School in Fremont, 25 years ago.

Among the errors pointed out in the statement were claims by several media outlets that the “Vatican had warned the Catholic Bishops of the United States not to pass this proposal.” Said Bishop Paprocki, “That is simply false.” To clarify the issue the bishop continued, “In fact, Cardinal Luis Ladaria, SJ, head of the Vatican’s Congrega- tion for the Doctrine of the Faith, had written to the president of the USCCB calling for ‘dialogue .

  • Mundelein Reborn
    THE MAGAZINE OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO WINTER 2012 Mundelein reborn PLUS PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2012 n HOMECOMING WELcome FROM THE PRESIDENT And CEO MICHAEL J. GARANZINI, S.J. Our world is a changing one. As we look at the world that our present students will inherit, we know that they will live in communities and participate in workplaces that are increasingly a mix of cultures, races, creeds, and values. We can see that technology will offer more and more information, and perhaps less and less analysis. We can envision a furthering of environmental degradation and depletion of the planet’s resources. And we anticipate that growing financial and educational gaps between and among different constituents in our societies will lead to even more political and social strife and upheaval around our worlds. Fundamentally, all education is about preparing students for their own future. It is about helping them become critical thinkers who can absorb and create new knowledge. It is about giving them the skills to lead and serve in the world they’re going to inhabit—in a world that will need their leadership.
