As the USCCB’s The Basic Plan for the Ongoing Formation of Priests indicates, each of these ministries requires a priest to engage in four dimensions of ongoing formation. The convention schedule will explore those four dimensions (the human, the spiritual, the intellectual, and the pastoral) for deeper appreciation of the complexity of the ministry of the Word. Future conventions will explore each of the other two ministries, sanctification and governance. 2009 Blessed Pope John XXIII Award.................................... 5 The 2009 convention will open with a report from Archbishop Donald Wuerl about the Synod held in the fall of 2008 on the ministry of the Word.

  • BISHOPS CONFERENCE Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE To the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB): "What we hope for from the National Conference Assembly of Bishops in Baltimore on November 12-14, 2018." Leadership from Baltimore area Catholic churches are heartened by the three goals Cardinal Daniel DiNardo announced in his 16 August statement on the measures to be taken by the USCCB and the Holy See to address the moral catastrophe that has overtaken the Church. An open letter created by the St. Ignatius "Women of the New Testament Ministry" has now been sent to DiNardo, Archbishop William Lori, and his auxiliary bishops which proposes further steps in increased accountability and transparency we believe necessary for restoring trust in the bishops and for advancing the reform of the clerical culture of the Church. That letter can be accessed here. We would appreciate your support in this effort as the USCCB gathers in Baltimore on November 12–14 to discuss "stronger protections against predators in the Church and anyone who would conceal them, protections that will hold bishops to the highest standards of transparency and accountability." If you agree with what is proposed in the open letter, would you please share it with friends at parishes and ask them to support this effort? This can be accomplished by doing the following: 1. Print out letter (upload letter) 2. Sign it 3. Mail it to Cardinal DiNardo at the address listed in letter. For the maximum impression, the letters should be received by Cardinal DiNardo before the Conference begins. The Conference will be held at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront.

  • Letter of His Holiness Pope Francis to the People of God
    Letter of His Holiness Pope Francis to the People of God August 20, 2018 “If one member suffers, all suffer together with it” (1 Cor 12:26). These words of Saint Paul forcefully echo in my heart as I acknowledge once more the suffering endured by many minors due to sexual abuse, the abuse of power and the abuse of conscience perpetrated by a significant number of clerics and consecrated persons. Crimes that inflict deep wounds of pain and powerlessness, primarily among the victims, but also in their family members and in the larger community of believers and nonbelievers alike. Looking back to the past, no effort to beg pardon and to seek to repair the harm done will ever be sufficient. Looking ahead to the future, no effort must be spared to create a culture able to prevent such situations from happening, but also to prevent the possibility of their being covered up and perpetuated. The pain of the victims and their families is also our pain, and so it is urgent that we once more reaffirm our commitment to ensure the protection of minors and of vulnerable adults. 1. If one member suffers… In recent days, a report was made public which detailed the experiences of at least a thousand survivors, victims of sexual abuse, the abuse of power and of conscience at the hands of priests over a period of approximately seventy years. Even though it can be said that most of these cases belong to the past, nonetheless as time goes on we have come to know the pain of many of the victims.

  • THE VORTEX Moving the Needle September 2, 2014
    THE VORTEX Moving the Needle September 2, 2014 Hello everyone and welcome to The Vortex, where lies and falsehoods are trapped and exposed. I’m Michael Voris. It is the duty of every Catholic these days who considers himself faithful to try and move the needle—to become a counter-revolutionary INSIDE the Church. If you are the sort of Catholic who has been asleep in the pews at any point during the past fifty years—as everyone who works here at ChurchMilitant.TV once was themselves —don’t feel bad or weirded out. You are like the vast majority of Catholics who have been lulled into a sense of complacency and indifference by leaders in the Church. Among many of these leaders, the older ones were the revolutionaries, or the disciples of the revolutionaries, and they have taken control of many aspects of Church life. That was a generation or so ago—stretching back to the 1970s to 1990s. Their names are well known: men like Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago, Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles, Archbishop John Quinn of San Francisco, Cardinal John Dearden of Detroit, Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee (an openly active homosexual), Bishop Howard Hubbard of Albany, New York, Bishop Matthew Clark of Rochester, New York, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of Washington, DC. These were the marquee name destroyers of Catholic tradition, but they had MANY other allies in the US episcopate and lower clergy in those halcyon years. In diocese after diocese, they tore the Church apart, introducing innovation after innovation meant to dislodge the Church from its traditional moorings.

  • Secretary's Report the First Pacific Coast Convention of the Catholic
    Secretary's Report THE TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL CONVENTION The first Pacific Coast convention of the Catholic Theological Society of America was held at the Sheraton Palace Hotel in San Francisco, June 16-19, 1969. The theme was The Ministry, the pro- gram was outstanding; the attendance was quite good; and the re- sponse was gratifying to the convention planners. The first general session of the convention was convened Tues- day, June 17, at 9:30 A.M. by Austin Vaughan, President of the Society. Archbishop Joseph T. McGucken warmly welcomed the Society to the city of St. Francis. He encouraged the theologians in their function of stimulating and helping the magisterium grow; of reading the signs of the times for the preaching of the Gospel; and of being an instrument of the magisterium in spreading their teaching. Peter Chirico of St. Thomas Seminary, Kenmore, Washington, delivered the first major address of the convention, titled Theological Method and the Nature of Ministry. The second paper read in gen- eral session was The Biblical Theology of Ministry in the New Testa- ment by Richard Dillon of St. Joseph's Seminary, Yonkers, New York. President Vaughan introduced Remi de Roo, Bishop of Van- couver, a member of the Society who was attending the convention engaging actively in the theological exchange. A concelebrated con- vention Mass for the deceased members of the Society was offered at the noon hour, with Gerald Van Ackeren, S.J. the principal con- celebrant. The elective seminars offered Tuesday afteroon included the following: 1. Priesthood and Ministry from the New Testament to Nicea, by Carl Armbruster of Bellarmine School of Theology, North Aurora, Illinois.
