April 29, 2018 Catholic Times 3 Bishop Campbell’s funeral homily for Monsignor George Schlegel My dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, I begin by offering prayers and sympathy to the family of Monsignor George and to his many friends. I think we were all surprised by the sud- denness of which the event of his death overtook us. And as I was thinking of what I might say in the way of a homily, I was both comforted and chal- lenged by the readings that Monsignor Schlegel chose for his funeral. I look at that passage from the Gospel of John, that famous verse in which Our Lord, who has gathered his disciples for that Last Supper before Jesus was to suffer and die, and the first message he gives is, “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Remarkable coming from an individual who was facing a very cruel death, giving advice that your hearts not be troubled. For you will be tak- en care of. … And be comforted by the fact that the Bishop Frederick Campbell celebrates the funeral Mass for Monsignor George Schlegel with way, the truth and the life for those who walk after diocesan priests on Tuesday, April 17 at Powell St. Joan of Arc Church. me and walk in that way will begin to learn the truth of what I am here to do and what I am here to say. And in that truth we find life. months after I arrived as bishop here in Columbus, quick wit but a quick tongue. … But I think also I found it very edifying the way in which I learned when I was traveling up to Tuscarawas County for a that passage from the Book of Job, for in fact Job in that Monsignor Schlegel faced his own death.

    YEARS OF STORM & STRESS Joseph Matt & Americanism with a commentary and notes by Paul Likoudis on Matt's “A Centenary of Catholic Life in Minnesota” published by The Wanderer, January – August 2012 From January to August 2012, The Wanderer published, and offered commentary, on a remarkable series of 36 articles written by this newspaper's long-serving editor Joseph Matt (1877-1966) in 1950-'51 on Americanism, “the German question,” and subjects related to “Cahenslyism,” named after the German Catholic layman Peter Paul Cahensly, who devoted himself to the aid of German-Catholic immigrants. In this series of articles, Joseph Matt told the German-American Catholics' side of the story of what the late Monsignor George Kelly would call the “Battle for the American Church”; i.e. German Catholic opposition to the nascent modernism in Americanism and the Americanist hierarchy's determination to assimilate German Catholics into the American melting pot. As a sort of prelude to this series, we will enter the field of German-American Catholic historiography with some snips from a paper read by University of Chicago historian Kathleen Neils Conzen at the first Edmund Spevack Memorial Lecture at Harvard University, November 7, 2003, which touches on many of the issues we will see Joseph Matt discussing in that series of 36 articles sixty years ago, as he reflected back on the battles of the of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: “....Catholicism has long seemed like an embarrassing guest at the table of American historiography,” observed Conzen, “best ignored in the hope that it will not make a disturbing fuss.

    A Letter from the Ceo

    A LETTER FROM THE CEO Dear Friends, On June 22 we honored our Patron Saint, Saint John Fisher, in two beautiful ways. First, an icon of Saint John Fisher was written and presented to Bishop Frederick F. Campbell, D.D., Ph.D. as a gift from The Catholic Foundation. The icon is on permanent display at The Catholic Foundation in the Bishop Campbell Library for you to view. We express our great appreciation to Bishop Campbell for his many years of support of The Catholic Foundation. Second, we installed the first 40 members of the new Saint John Fisher Stewards initiative. We are so grateful for these members of our parishes, schools, and ministries who have committed their time and talents to bring awareness to the endowments of their Catholic faith communities. It is in these two ways that we honor Saint John Fisher as a man of great faith and stewardship of endowments. I encourage you to visit The Catholic Foundation to view the Saint John Fisher icon and to learn more about our Patron Saint. We are in our thirty-fourth year at The Catholic Foundation and it is an honor to share the many opportunities for you to make an impact on the many needs throughout our diocese. Whether you are a parishioner, a tenured or young professional, or a Catholic woman who loves your faith, The Catholic Foundation has many options for you. As you read the annual report, please take note of the many people who have told their stories and shared their experiences. It is my hope you will find a common connection and see how you too can get involved in supporting our faith through The Catholic Foundation.
