    During Lent, There Will Be No Burger with My Fries,Video: Pilgrims Leave

    During Lent, there will be no burger with my fries By Matt Palmer [email protected] Go big or go home, right? Lent is about sacrifice and walking in the journey with Jesus. People all across the globe will start the season with Ash Wednesday Mass and try to come up with something they are giving up for 40 days. A year ago, I gave up sodas, no small feat for a guy who drinks Cherry Cokes like they’re water. This year, I’m pulling out the big gun. I’ve giving up … wait for it … hamburgers. Stop laughing. Seriously, pick yourself up off the ground and breathe. Giving up burgers is a big deal to a picky eater like myself. The way I see it, great burgers are an art form, taken for granted like a 1980s Hall and Oates song – always a reliable hit. As a reporter, I’m constantly on the run and getting a drive-thru burger is an easy fallback. As a regular guy, I look at a restaurant menu of what other people see as a display of delicious food and wonder what the hamburger tastes like. More often than not, someone says, “Like a burger.” And I respond, “Awesome. I’ll get that.” Sometimes I get an itch and just run out and a buy a burger. It’s really that bad. Of course, I like making burgers on the grill, too. It gives me that boost of feeling extra manly about my burger addiction. Lenten Fridays have always been tough for me.

    Charity, Patience and Tenderness Are Very Beautiful Gifts. If You Have Them, You Want to Share Them with Others

    GIFT of TIME Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others. - Pope Francis ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT GIFT of TIME Caritas Australia The Catholic Agency for International Aid and Development Dorothy is a long-time supporter of Caritas Australia. Inspired by her faith and passion for social justice, Dorothy speaks about why she has decided to place Caritas in her Will. I first learned about Caritas when I was a child at school and vividly recall collecting coins for the Project Compassion Box. Giving to Caritas Australia has made me a much Photo: Sudan, Caritas Internationalis happier person. I feel empowered, knowing that we’re doing something for the most marginalised. The sense of concern that I sometimes feel thinking “Giving to Caritas about the poverty and suffering in the world today, has been taken away by knowing where my money is going Australia has made me a and that it’s going to a good cause. The last time I get to speak to people most important in much happier person” my life will be through my Will. I have great faith in Caritas Australia’s ability to end poverty and uphold people’s dignity. Caritas doesn’t tell its partners what to do but walks alongside them. There are so many charities out there, but I know that with Caritas, I’m giving in the right way, to a place that has good governance, a good development approach and spends minimally on administration. I can recommend Caritas wholeheartedly. 2 The Catholic Weekly GIFT of TIME 2020-2021 Leaving a Legacy of Love.

    Jews, Radical Catholic Traditionalists, and the Extreme Right

    “Artisans … for Antichrist”: Jews, Radical Catholic Traditionalists, and the Extreme Right Mark Weitzman* The Israeli historian, Israel J. Yuval, recently wrote: The Christian-Jewish debate that started nineteen hundred years ago, in our day came to a conciliatory close. … In one fell swoop, the anti-Jewish position of Christianity became reprehensible and illegitimate. … Ours is thus the first generation of scholars that can and may discuss the Christian-Jewish debate from a certain remove … a post- polemical age.1 This appraisal helped spur Yuval to write his recent controversial book Two Nations in Your Womb: Perceptions of Jews and Christians in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Yuval based his optimistic assessment on the strength of the reforms in Catholicism that stemmed from the adoption by the Second Vatican Council in 1965 of the document known as Nostra Aetate. Nostra Aetate in Michael Phayer’s words, was the “revolution- ary” document that signified “the Catholic church’s reversal of its 2,000 year tradition of antisemitism.”2 Yet recent events in the relationship between Catholics and Jews could well cause one to wonder about the optimism inherent in Yuval’s pronouncement. For, while the established Catholic Church is still officially committed to the teachings of Nostra Aetate, the opponents of that document and of “modernity” in general have continued their fight and appear to have gained, if not a foothold, at least a hearing in the Vatican today. And, since in the view of these radical Catholic traditionalists “[i]nternational Judaism wants to radically defeat Christianity and to be its substitute” using tools like the Free- * Director of Government Affairs, Simon Wiesenthal Center.

    Caritas Internationalis Annual Report 2011 Caritas Internationalis is a global confederation of 164 Catholic organisations under the umbrella of the Holy See, which responds to humanitarian disasters, promotes integral human development and lobbies on the causes of poverty and violence. Inspired by Christian faith and gospel values, Caritas works in most of the world’s countries with the poor and oppressed, vulnerable and excluded, regardless of race or religion. It promotes just and fraternal societies where the dignity of every human being is enhanced. Depending on the size of the Catholic community and the will of their bishops’ conference, Caritas national members range from small entities to some of the world’s largest social, humanitarian and development organisations. Combined, they have over a million staff and volunteers. Caritas Internationalis has a General Secretariat in Rome, which coordinates the confederation’s response to major humanitarian emergencies, supports members and advocates on their behalf for a better world, based on justice, compassion and fraternity. Caritas Internationalis also has delegations in New York and Geneva representing the confederation at the United Nations. The Caritas delegations work with other international institutions and nongovernmental organisations and in close association with the Permanent Missions of the Holy See. Caritas Internationalis is made up of seven regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, North America and Oceania. 2 Caritas Internationalis Annual Report 2011 Contents 4 One Human Family, Zero Poverty By Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez Maradiaga, President 5 Introduction By Michel Roy, Secretary General 6 60th anniversary and the General Assembly: Caritas looking back, moving forward 10 Emergencies: Compassion in action 18 Advocacy: A voice for change 24 Building the confederation 26 Summary of Emergency Appeals 2011 30 Financial information Front Cover: Caritas supports a water project in this Kenyan South Sudan becomes village after a independent.

    EN Doc 4 Regional Conference 2021 Report of the Secretary General Outcome and Activity Report 2020 EN Doc 4 Regional Conference 2021 Report of the Secretary General Introduction With this report we provide a snapshot of the work undertaken by Caritas Europa in 2020. The year was deeply marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, which had, and continues to have, an enormous impact on the European region and the whole world, affecting the people that Caritas serves the most. As for any crisis, it is the people in the most vulnerable situations that are the first victims and face most severe consequences. What I carry firmly in my heart from this year, however, is that it has become clearer than ever that Caritas stands with, and continues to support, the people in the most difficult and challenging situations. The whole Caritas family had as its motto ‘Caritas doesn’t close’. It has been incredible to see how Caritas has adapted its ways of working to the situation. These shifts have not been easy, but there has been an impressive willingness to do what it takes to support the people we are called to serve as Caritas. We have also seen many beautiful signs of solidarity in many countries. At Caritas Europa, we adapted our ways of working to the COVID reality, and it our wish was to be close to the member organisations throughout the pandemic, collecting stories and experiences and discussing them in peer exchanges, so solutions could be shared to support sister Caritas organisations. We learnt new ways of working, and truly realised that working ‘in silos’ is unfit for the times we are living in, when everything is interconnected.

    The Priestly Patriotic Associations in the Eastern European Countries

    231 Pregledni znanstveni članek (1.02) BV 68 (2008) 2, 231-256 UDK 272-784-726.3(4-11)«194/199« Bogdan Kolar SDB The Priestly Patriotic Associations in the Eastern European Countries Abstract: The priestly patriotic associations used to be a part of the every day life of the Catholic Church in the Eastern European countries where after World War II Com- munist Parties seized power putting in their programmes the elimination of the Catho- lic Church from the public life and in the final analysis the destruction of the religion in general. In spite of the fact that the associations were considered professional guilds of progressive priests with a particular national mission they were planned by their founders or instigators (mainly coming from various secret services and the offices for religious affairs) as a means of internal dissension among priests, among priests and bishops, among local Churches and the Holy See, and in the final stage also among the leaders of church communities and their members. A special attention of the totalitarian authorities was dedicated to the priests because they were in touch with the population and the most vulnerable part of the Church structures. To perform their duties became impossible if their relations with the local authorities as well as with the repressive in- stitutions were not regulated or if the latter set obstacles in fulfilling their priestly work. Taking into account the necessary historic and social context, the overview of the state of the matters in Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia), Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia demonstrates that the instigators of the priestly patriotic so- cieties followed the same pattern, used the same methods and defined the same goals of their activities.
