That responsibility includes ensuring ocean wildlife can safely swim Pacific Ocean waters without being killed in commercial fishing gear. We, the undersigned 24,494 residents of the United States (including 6,106 residents of California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington), urge you to prevent the authorization of pelagic longline fishing gear off the U.S. Pacific Coast. Use of this gear would lead to the entanglement and death of sea turtles, dolphins, whales, sea birds, sharks and many other important ocean species. Pelagic longlines used to catch swordfish, which can reach 60 miles in length and trail thousands of baited hooks, will inevitably ensnare and drown many other unsuspecting marine animals. Such a U.S. West Coast-based pelagic longline fishery, whether deep-set or shallow-set, has no place among the diversity of ocean life of the Northeast Pacific, particularly species already endangered with extinction. Pacific leatherback sea turtles, for example, migrate 6,000 miles from their nesting beaches to feed in the productive waters off the U.S.

The origins of the Ukrainian Catholic Church lie in the time when much of present-day Ukraine formed part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was then, in 1596, that for a variety of reasons, many of the Orthodox bishops of the region decided to accept communion with Rome.(1) After almost four hundred years the resulting Union of Brest remains a contentious subject.(2) The new "Uniate" Church formally recognized the Pope as Head of the Church, but maintained its traditional Byzantine or eastern rite, calendar, its right to ordain married men as priests, and its right to elect its own bishops.

  • THE CONFESSOR's AUTHORITY the Catholic Church Meets
    CHAPTER THREE THE CONFESSOR'S AUTHORITY The Catholic Church meets people's need for authority and abso­ lution with its doctrine on the penance sacrament and its teaching that the priest possesses divine qualities to administer the sacrament and exercise moral authority. During the ceremony of ordination, God Himself has made a priest the instrument of His power in this world. Thus, the priest is endowed with a character indelebilis which distinguishes him from all secular persons and qualifies him to carry out his mission as intercessor between God and Man, indeed even to deputize for God among mortals. A Catholic writer has said that the priest shows his extraordinary qualities as director of souls by his "apostolic zeal, knowledge of God's ways and supernatural wisdom". 1 But those gifts are not enough for a priest when he officiates in the penance sacrament. They could have their effect also outside that sacrament. As administrator of the sacrament he possesses a special and divine instinct: this shows him the way when he instructs penitents on remedies for their sins and gives them guidance on their future conduct. 2 Such an image of the priest's high office is inculcated in Catholics by their creed itself. A good Catholic accepts a priest's authority; consequently he is prepared in advance to follow confessional advice and to comply in all matters with directions as to his way of life. 3 This maintenance of clerical authority has an integral place in the structure of Roman Catholic doctrine. It is connected there both with the concept of the Church as a whole and with teaching on the sacraments.

  • Relationship of Trust Between Confessor and Confessant
    CHAPTER FOUR RELATIONSHIP OF TRUST BETWEEN CONFESSOR AND CONFESSANT From what we have now observed, the confessant's trust m his confessor-obviously an essential element in any serious confession­ may be said to depend on an authority which the confessor possesses in some exterior way, also on his entirely personal attributes and individual conduct. Having dealt in the last chapter more particularly with the part played by external authority, we ought now to examine specially the nature and importance of the confessor's personal qualities. First, we may note that the confessor should acquire what could be called an inner authority through his own involvement, through his willingness to comprehend and enter into the confes­ sant's troubles : such authority of the confessor is rooted in the confessant's mental situation, and thus he can exercise a profound influence on it. In what follows, we shall study the evidence of a confessant's trustful attitude founded on authority of the kind. Let us, to begin with, turn to confession in the Catholic Church and see what significance is attached to the personal element there. The confession we meet with might of course seem to be of a purely institutional kind : in principle it should function ex opere operato and thus have its effect whatever the confessor's personal attributes and manner of proceeding; so the personal factors ought really to be of no consequence. But closer investigation shows this to be a rather superficial view, applicable only when Catholic confession is practised in a routine fashion. The actual situation is that, even if the penance sacrament is objective in principle, the personal element seems to have asserted itself and broken through the institutional framework.

  • CONFESSIONAL METHOD the Confessor's Ability to Inspire
    CHAPTER FIVE CONFESSIONAL METHOD The confessor's ability to inspire confidence is evidently connected with the method he uses for confession and spiritual guidance. It is clear, too, that a confessor endowed with special personal qualifi­ cations will create a confessional method worth following. He does so sua sponte, without reflecting closely on his course of action. Later, however, he may derive a system with clearly framed rules from his experience. We might study the methods of some prominent confes­ sors, basing our examination either on clear and systematic state­ ments, when such exist, or on what may be deduced from how those confessors practised : this should supply us with more information than can be gleaned by merely directing our attention at the confes­ sor's personal virtues or "intuitive capacity". One of the great figures in the Catholic cure of souls is-as we have already stressed-Fran9ois de Sales. We ought to find that such an exemplary confessor had an ideal method for confession in its Catholic form. His ideas about spiritual healing are still valid and have a normalizing importance in the Catholic Church.1_ By examining his method we should consequently make a somewhat closer approach to how he could get his penitents to rely so completely on his direction -in, for example, such cases as those of Jean-Pierre Camus and Madame de Chantal. The basic principle of Saint Fran9ois' spiritual leadership is, we perceive, that the confessor should not force orders and regulations on the penitent. Fran9ois de Sales assumes that his penitent has a strong desire to attain moral perfection, a desire which should be supported by the confessor's instructions.
