"To his own he came but his own did anyone with knowledge of an act of sexual misconduct to not accept him" as St. John says (1:11). The reason was that inform the Archdiocese immediately so that we may take the Messiah they were looking for was a political leader who appropriate action and provide support to the victim. would make Israel a political power not only among the Although the Archdiocese immediately reports all abuse nations but over the other nations. Nearly all the messianic allegations to the appropriate County Prosecutor, it also prophecies had references to the universality of the messianic encourages victims to independently report such matters to kingdom–this universality they interpreted in a political, the Prosecutor. Individuals who want to report an allegation worldly sense. Their interest in things spiritual was then at a of sexual misconduct to the Archdiocese may do so by very low ebb and therefore the message of Christ had little calling the Victim's Assistance Coordinator of the interest for them. They did not want a spiritual kingdom.

That very pride of The phone numbers for the County theirs was their undoing. The Gentiles were God's children Prosecutors within the Archdiocese are: too, and they also were to share in the new kingdom which the Messiah would establish, but the very thought of this was Bergen (201) 226-5689 abhorrent to the vast majority of the Jews. In spite of all their Essex (973) 753-1121 opposition, however, Jesus spent his public life amongst Hudson (201) 795-6400 them.

They could still continue to be God's Chosen People together with, and alongside, the other nations of the HOW TO REPORT ABUSE earth. They refused. And their refusal went so far as to call in the aid of the hated Gentiles to crucify the One—their own The Archdiocese takes very seriously any and all fellow Jew—who had come to bring them the message of the allegations of sexual misconduct by members of the clergy, true kingdom and the offer of being its first citizens.

Christ founded his Church, the new kingdom of God inform us immediately so that we may take appropriate on the Apostles, who were Jews, and through their noble action to protect others and provide support to victims of sacrifices and efforts, the kingdom spread to all the Gentile sexual abuse.

Through our Christian teaching we have learned that our life on this earth is but a A NOTICE ON BAPTISMS AT THE CATHEDRAL BASILICA period of preparation, a period during which we can earn the true life as citizens of his eternal kingdom. How often do we, Baptisms usually take place in the Cathedral sanctuary or like the Jews of Christ's day, forget this and bend all our Baptistery. However, if there is a Cathedral event scheduled in the efforts to building for ourselves a kingdom of power or main sanctuary, Baptisms may take place in the Cathedral crypt. wealth in this world, a kingdom which we will have to leave so soon? We would not, of course, openly deny Christ, much less try, like his neighbors in Nazareth, to throw him to his death over a cliff: but how often in our private actions, and in our dealings with our neighbors, do we push him and his doctrine quietly aside and act as if we knew him not. In this we are no better than Christ's neighbors of Nazareth and we grieve his loving heart as much as they did on that sad day. Am I one of those (each one of us can ask himself)? Do I really love Christ or, to put it in a more personal way, do I really love myself ? If I do, I will not risk losing my place in the eternal kingdom for the sake of some paltry pleasure or gain in this present life which will end for me so very soon.
