Michael C. Barber, SJ Ray Kelly, the retired police commis- sioner of New York City, called the killing of George Floyd “the worst act of police brutality that I’ve seen.” Since that event we’ve seen protests and demonstrations across the country. Mr. Floyd’s death has put back at the center of our common experience the deep and historical pain of our Black brothers and sisters – the pain of seeing their human dignity stripped away. As the Catholic Bishop Barber Church, we can’t just be observers. We need to listen and learn from the experi- ence of the African American community – be willing to open our hearts – and maybe even feel uncomfortable.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will finda good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Servant of God Isaac Hecker: 19Th Century Pastor, 21St Century Saint
    SERVANT OF GOD ISAAC HECKER: 19TH CENTURY PASTOR, 21ST CENTURY SAINT O God, you called Isaac Hecker to preach the Gospel to the people of North America and to know the peace and the power of your indwelling Holy Spirit. Like Saint Paul the Apostle, he spoke your Word with a zeal for souls and a burning love for all who came to him in need. Hear our prayer and, through the intercession of Father Hecker, grant [state the request]. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen. 2 FR. ISAAC HECKER: 19TH CENTURY PASTOR, 21ST CENTURY SAINT On May 23, 2006, the Paulist Fathers General Assembly, “conscious of the need for contemporary models of holiness,” resolved to promote the canonization cause of Paulist Founder, Father Isaac Hecker, declaring his life and teaching “truly a valuable resource that needs to be widely recognized and communicated,” that he “can inspire others beyond ourselves towards holiness of life, heroic virtue and personal faithfulness to Christ,” and that “the time has come” for Father Hecker’s story “to be disseminated throughout the larger church.” This is the will of God, said Saint Paul to the Thessalonians, your holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3). According to the Second Vatican Council, “all in the Church … are called to holiness” and “to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of love”.1 In the Apostles Creed, we profess our faith in what we call “the Communion of Saints.” This Communion of Saints unites us, who are still on earth, with those saints whose salvation and ultimate sanctity are already assured.

    TO AROUSE AND INFORM': THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS AND UNITED STATES-MEXICAN RELATIONS, 1924-1937 Contents 1. The Coolidge Administration 2. Daniel(s) in the Lion's Den 3. The Borah Resolution When Francisco I. Madero ousted the long-time Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz in 1911, he set into motion a series of events that we have come to know collectively as the Mexican Revolution. This revolution, with its relatively small beginnings, would soon grow and shake the Mexican nation to its roots. The United States, Mexico's overbearing northern neighbor, was not immune to the tremors emanating from south of the Rio Grande. For a significant part of the population of the United States, this revolution presented a challenge to something at their very soul--their Catholicity. Most Catholics in the United States, from the hierarchy's leadership in the National Catholic Welfare Conference (NCWC)(n1) to devout lay men and women, viewed the challenge that faced the Mexican Church as one that struck at the heart of some of their most deeply held assumptions as American Catholics, i.e., that the freedom of religious expression was an inalienable and universal liberty. To meet this challenge arising from the Mexican Revolution, activist American Catholics-- particularly the Knights of Columbus--struggled to force the United States government to alter its diplomatic relations with that country. This essay will examine the work of the Knights of Columbus to aid their Mexican co-religionists within the context of the Mexican Revolution's assault on the Catholic Church. In this effort, the Knights of Columbus assumed a leadership position within a special interest group comprised of American Catholic hierarchy and laymen, striving to exert some degree of influence over public policy.(n2) The history of the Knights of Columbus has been a topic of inquiry for a number of scholars.
