  • To Better Protect God’S People
    To better protect God’s people When future historians write their histories of U.S. Catholicism, some may give Gilbert Gauthe a paragraph all to himself. Not for anything honorable that he did, but for something supremely dishonorable: He, as much as anyone, transformed sexual abuse of a minor by a Catholic priest from a personal disgrace into a national scandal. The story of this scandal is disturbing and complex. Even as the number of new cases has apparently dropped, bishops have found themselves struggling to cope with the consequences of earlier offenses that were covered up. Now even Pope Francis stands accused of not responding quickly enough, and Germany and Chile have joined the ranks of countries where the Church has abuse scandals on its hands. What follows is an overview of the history of this scandal in the United States, for the benefit of people trying to make sense of it all. It’s a perspective the bishops themselves will need as they gather in Baltimore the second full week of November for their fall general meeting. This issue is expected to dominate the agenda. Pope St. John Paul II speaks with Cardinal Bernard Law in 2002 in the pope’s private library at the Vatican. Cardinal Law had been one of the United States’ most powerful and respected bishops until his legacy was blemished by the devastating sexual abuse of minors by priests in his Archdiocese of Boston. CNS photo via L’Osservatore Romano A 1980s ‘aberration’ Start with Gilbert Gauthe. Although by no means the first abuser priest, he was the first to receive national attention as the specifics of his misdeeds and the bungling of his superiors became known.

  • Editorial: the First Case of ‘Vos Estis’ in Action, And
    Editorial: The first case of ‘Vos Estis’ in action, and its fallout At the request of Pope Francis, Bishop Michael Hoeppner of Crookston, Minnesota, resigned April 13 after an investigation into whether or not Bishop Hoeppner had carried out “acts or omissions intended to interfere with or avoid civil or canonical investigations of clerical sexual misconduct.” The investigation that led to his resignation stemmed from reports that the bishop “had at times failed to observe applicable norms when presented with allegations of sexual abuse involving clergy of the Diocese of Crookston,” the diocese stated on the day of Bishop Hoeppner’s resignation. To put it in layman’s terms: The bishop was accused of not reporting abuse to Church and civil authorities after it had been reported to him — and even worse, he was said to have tried to coerce a victim into retracting his allegation of abuse (which had been made against a popular priest of the diocese). The investigation and resignation were among the first fruits of the new canonical standards decreed by Pope Francis just shy of two years ago — on May 7, 2019 — via the motu proprio “Vos Estis Lux Mundi,“ which established a universal baseline of procedural norms for the reporting of clergy sexual abuse and related cover-ups. The norms went into effect June 1 of the same year for a three-year “ad experimentum” phase. On Sept. 10, 2019, Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda of St. Paul and Minneapolis, whose jurisdiction as metropolitan includes the Diocese of Crookston, announced that the new norms were going to be put to the test for the first time in the world, and the investigation of Bishop Hoeppner began.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Dear Friends
    Catholic Community FOUNDATION OF MINNESOTA onlyCOMMUNION IN THE MIDST OF CRISIS together ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Dear Friends, None of us will forget 2020 anytime soon. The pandemic, together with the social unrest in the wake of George Floyd’s unjust death, have taken a heavy toll. At the same time, I’m very proud of how our Catholic community has responded. In the midst of dual crises, in a time of fear and uncertainty, we have come together to help our neighbors and support Catholic organizations. Only together can we achieve success, as Archbishop Hebda says, “On our own, there’s little that we’re able to accomplish. It’s only with collaboration, involving the thinking and generosity of many folks that we’re able to put together a successful plan.” The Catholic Community Foundation of Minnesota (CCF) has never been better prepared to meet the challenges of the moment. Within days of the suspension of public Masses in March, CCF established onlyCOMMUNION IN THE MIDST OF CRISIS the Minnesota Catholic Relief Fund. Immediately, hundreds of generous people made extraordinary donations to support our local Catholic community. Shortly thereafter, CCF began deploying monies to parishes and schools in urgent need. This was all possible because CCF had the operational and relational infrastructure in place to act swiftly: the connections, the trust, the expertise, and the overwhelming support of our donors. CCF has proven it’s just as capable of serving the long-term needs of our Catholic community. together Through our Legacy Fund and a variety of endowments, individuals can support Catholic ministries in perpetuity, while parishes partner with CCF to safeguard their long-term financial stability.

Donald Bolen Pastor “I see the Church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously Very Rev. Fr.

Pastoral Associate The above image evokes within us a sense of urgency in our response to suffering. In a sense Garth Horn we are to be like medics on the frontlines searching for the fallen and tending to their wounds.

    Brother Knights, As with all of our programming, family activities are changing along with the transition to Faith in Action. Moreover, the formerly-known-as youth activities and their chairmen are now also Family Programs. Our goal is the same: ours is a Catholic, family, fraternal, service Order, and my team focuses on the family part of that slogan, providing activities and recognition for families to pray, serve, play and grow together, now including through programs that engage our youth and build and reward academic and athletic skills. Family activities are how we support families, how we strengthen and build better families, how we teach and engage our families, how we encourage families to be alive and live the Catholic faith with joy and love for one another. They are how we attract young men with new families to our Order. Men of all ages who work long hours and come home don’t want to leave their families again to be with the Knights, they want to bring their families and be with the Knights. Bring your family with you to Knights’ activities and see how we make you a better husband and a better father, then join us, and we provide even more —the example of the many, many other friendly, faithful Catholic families across our state I’ve met as a consequence of being a Knight.

  • Screening, Testing and Performance Enhancement in the Terminal
    Screening, Testing and Performance Enhancement in the Terminal Many clinicians in general outpatient orthopedic and sports rehabilitation facilities struggle with late-stage progressions as well as testing to determine physical readiness for not only return to play but also for return to performance. The average clinician is limited by space and equipment limitations that make testing and performance training a challenge. Complicating matters further are athletes that have limited visits due to financial or insurance limitations. Day one of this two-day course is focused on the screening and testing of the athlete recovering from upper or lower extremity pathology with evidence-based, clinically useful measures to determine physical readiness for not only return to play, but also return to performance and transitioning back to strength and conditioning activities. An in-depth analysis of the physical qualities of performance as well as how to best train these qualities will be discussed as well as program design considerations for the athlete. On day two, the emphasis will shift to ACL rehabilitation. The data on ACL return to sport is clear – re-tear rates are high, they return with poor strength, and the percentage of athletes who return to sport are less than ideal. Day two will highlight best practices from beginning to end of the ACL rehabilitation continuum. Date: March 13 & 14, 2020 Time: 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Friday and 7:00 a.m.—4:00 p.m. Saturday Location: Grand Valley State University’s DeVos Center, 401 Fulton St West, Grand Rapids, Room 119E Presented By: Daniel Lorenz, DPT, PT, ATC, LAT, CSCS Cost: $300/GVSU PT alumni and DPT clinical instructors; $350/all others Dan Lorenz, DPT, PT, ATC, LAT, CSCS is the Director of Sports Medicine at Lawrence Memorial Hospital/OrthoKS in Lawrence, KS.
