Poll shows majority support for religious freedom in marriage debate - Catholic News Service

A recent Associated Press poll shows that while a plurality of Americans support the legalization of same-sex marriage, a majority believe that the religious liberty of those who object to such marriages, including owners of wedding-related businesses, should still be respected. The poll, which was conducted between Jan. 1 and Feb. 2, shows that 44 percent of Americans favor legalization of same-sex marriage, 39 percent oppose it and 15 percent “neither favor nor oppose” legalization of such marriages. Respondents also were asked this question: “In states where same-sex couples can be married legally, do you think that wedding-related businesses with religious objections should be allowed to refuse service to same-sex couples, or not?” Fifty-seven percent of those polled said that “they should be allowed to refuse service,” and only 39 percent said “no, they should not be allowed” to do so. Four percent refused to respond. The poll’s results on legalizing same-sex marriage show “that support for the truth about marriage is too low and, thus, we all must renew our efforts at explaining what marriage is and why marriage matters,” said Ryan T. Anderson, William E. Simon fellow in religion and a free society at the Heritage Foundation.

2 - The West Tennessee Catholic Week of February 19, 2015

Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, Arizona, testified on behalf of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Committee on Migration before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, February 11, in opposition to three enforcement-only bills. Collectively, the bills would harm immigrant and refugee children; criminalize undocumented persons and those who provide them with basic needs assistance, including religious and church workers; and permit states and localities to create and enforce their own immigration laws. In his statement before the subcommittee, Bishop Kicanas said the three bills “would take our nation in the wrong direction,” and fail to fix our nation’s immigration system. Instead, he urged the subcommittee to pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation, including a path to citizenship for the undocumented. “Mr. Chairman, we believe these bills would not fix our immigration system,” Bishop Kicanas said. “Rather, they would make it less just and would undermine our nation’s moral authority, both domestically and globally.” Bishop Kicanas pointed to the numerous provisions in the three bills which would harm immigrant and refugee children, including repeal of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, affecting 600,000 children, and the repeal of protections for unaccompanied alien children fleeing violence in Central America, subjecting them to return to possible harm without the benefit of an immigration hearing. “Our country is judged by how we treat the most vulnerable and the removal of protections from children –both in the DACA program and those seeking refuge– flies against human decency and violates human dignity. We should not punish these children, who themselves are innocent and are only seeking opportunity and safety.” Finally, Bishop Kicanas pointed to provisions in the Secure and Fortify Enforcement (SAFE) Act which would criminalize undocumented persons and those who transport them, including religious and lay faith-based workers, to a hospital, soup kitchen, or Mass. Citing similar provisions in a 2006 bill which sparked protests across the country, Bishop Kicanas asked: “As a nation, do we want to go down this road again? Do we want to criminalize millions of persons who have built equities in this country, jail them, and separate them from their families? Instead of fixing a broken system, would we want to jail nuns and other good samaritans who are simply aiding their fellow human beings, consistent with their faith?” “Mr. Chairman,” Bishop Kicanas concluded, “the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the people of many faith communities, and the majority of Americans were disappointed that comprehensive immigration reform legislation was not passed in the 113th Congress. You once again have the opportunity to fix the broken system in the 114th Congress. We stand ready to work with you toward this goal.” Bishop Kicanas’ full written statement is available at www.usccb.org/about/migration-policy/congressional-testimony/upload/Kicanasfinal.pdf.

St. Vincent de Paul program aids ex-prisoners’ re-entry into societyCatholic News Service

Mark Walters, one of the staff members of the Vincentian Reentry Organizing Project in New Orleans, confessed that he had “never been an organizer in terms of community organizing. But I organized a lot of drug dealers,” he added. Walters is far from the only ex-convict -- now thought of as a “returning citizen” -- brought in by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul for its Vincentian Reentry Organizing Project, which now operates in five states -- Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Ohio, Florida and Louisiana -- with the help of a grant from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, the U.S. bishops’ domestic anti-poverty program. The point of the project, according to Paul Graham, the project’s national coordinator, is to make former prisoners’ “re-entry into the community more viable, so fathers can get good jobs and support families,” and thus reduce recidivism rates. The project, which started in 2013, is too new to tout recidivism figures, Graham told Catholic News Service Feb. 10. But Walters, speaking about the project during a Feb. 8 workshop at the Catholic Social Ministry Gathering, said prisoners, once released, are poorly equipped to shake off the conditions that led them to commit the crimes which put them in jail in the first place.

Lawyers: Feds don’t need to make Catholic entities cover contraceptives

A new chapter has been added in the ongoing fight against the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive mandate. Attorneys for the Atlanta Archdiocese, Catholic Education of North Georgia Inc. and the Savannah Diocese joined those representing the Eternal Word Television Network Feb. 4 in back-to-back court cases before a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. As part of the federal health care law, the Health and Human Service’s mandate requires nearly all employers to provide abortion-inducing drugs, elective sterilizations and contraceptives to their employees free of charge if the individual or families that own the businesses have religious objections to the mandate. Dioceses comprised of churches are exempt from the mandate, as are closely held for-profit companies as decided last June by the Supreme Court in the well-known Burwell v. Hobby Lobby case. The remaining question yet to be answered by the courts consistently is whether religious nonprofit organizations also can be exempt. Under federal rules, nonexempt religious nonprofits can opt out of providing the coverage under what the Obama administration calls a “work around.” They must notify HHS in writing of their religious objections. The government in turn tells insurers and third-party administrators that they must cover the services at no charge to employees.

Rulings advance ‘misunderstanding of marriage,’ say Catholic officials

Same-sex couples began marrying Feb. 9 in Alabama after the U.S. Supreme Court refused a request from the state’s attorney general to prevent such marriages from taking place until the high court rules later this year on the constitutionality of state bans on same-sex marriage. The court’s action cleared the way for Alabama to become the 37th state to allow same-sex couples to marry. U.S. District Court Judge Callie “Ginny” Granade in Jan. 23 and Jan. 26 rulings said that Alabama’s 1998 law and its 2006 constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage were both unconstitutional but she put her decision on hold until Feb. 9 to let the state prepare for the change. Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange, who requested that the hold be extended, said in a statement that the Supreme Court’s decision not to block same-sex marriages will likely to lead to more confusion. “No court decision can change the truth” about marriage, Mobile Archbishop Thomas J. Rodi said in a Jan. 26 statement released by archdiocese. “The truth is marriage is between a man and a woman. People can choose to love and live with whomever they wish but that does not make it a marriage.”

4 - The West Tennessee Catholic Week of February 19, 2015

U.S. Catholic schools will not become extinct if a group of education professionals realize their vision for the struggling system. U.S. Catholic schools have been held up as beacons of learning since the 19th century. That’s why academic pioneers at Catholic universities are trying to revitalize the largest nonpublic school system in the country. As many as 2,000 Catholic schools have closed in the U.S. since 1999 and many in the education system point to the dwindling number of teachers who are vowed men and women religious as one of the root causes.“I don’t think that this is a time for a sort of hospice mentality because the (men and women) religious aren’t here in the same numbers,” said John Schoenig, teacher formation director for the Alliance for Catholic Education program, known as ACE, at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. “I think to the contrary, it’s a renaissance.” Notre Dame developed the ACE program more than two decades ago to address the needs of struggling Catholic schools throughout the country. Other U.S. Catholic universities established similar programs for the same reason. In the middle of the 20th century, the U.S. Catholic school system enjoyed its highest enrollment period and largest numbers of elementary and secondary academies at the same time the Catholic Church experienced robust communities of men and women religious. Religious sisters helped build the U.S. Catholic school system, with such pioneers as St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and Mother Mary Elizabeth Lange, establishing learning academies that often educated poor immigrants and children of color. As the numbers of vowed men and women religious steadily dropped in the later decades of the 20th century, fewer were available to teach in the Catholic schools,

forcing those institutions to hire lay teachers. In order to pay salaries they didn’t have to budget for in the past, school leaders had to raise tuition, often pricing out lower-income families, said Christian Dallavis, senior director of leadership programs for ACE. “We’ve gone from a world in which three out of five teachers in Catholic schools would be vowed religious to a world where 96 percent are lay and that’s happened in a few decades,” Dallavis told Catholic News Service during an interview at the University of Notre Dame. “It’s been a challenge for us. As a system, we haven’t developed any ways of really responding to that.” However, the ACE program has been designed to address the void left by dramatically decreased vowed religious in the teaching and school leadership roles, at least with its individual school partners. ACE developed four academic formation and eight outreach and professional development programs. The best known is the teaching fe l lowship program, which annually serves more than 13,500 students at 120 Catholic schools in 31 U.S. communities. Students at Notre Dame are invited to apply for this fellowship program. Upon acceptance and graduation, they are assigned to an under-resourced Catholic school, given a small stipend, teamed with a mentor teacher at the school and provided with a place to live in a house with other ACE teachers, Schoenig said. “It’s challenging. It’s a lot of work because this program is also a master’s program,” said Jessica Jones, a fourth-grade ACE teacher assigned to Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary School in Chicago. “So, we’re full-time teachers and full-time students.” Jones is in her second year of the two-year program. The 2013 graduate and Chicago native teaches during the school year, takes online coursework at night and spends her summers back

at Notre Dame for more classes to earn her master’s degree in education. After giving her students an in-class assignment to work on, Jones sat down in her classroom for an interview with CNS and described the experience as “eye-opening,” challenging, sometimes exhausting, but ult imately rewarding. ACE appealed to Jones because she is a product of the Catholic education system and wanted to be a part of a program designed to create a prosperous future for it. “It’s a great program and we really are dedicated to trying to help the state of Catholic education in this country,” the 22-year-old ACE teacher told CNS. “It’s a really important thing. The principles of faith help build communities and bring people of the community together. I’m glad to be a part of something that is trying to grow that idea.” Having one or more ACE teachers helps the Catholic school financially, because their stipend is a fraction of a regular teacher’s salary, but they also bring an infusion of energy and state-of-the-art teaching techniques and instructional strategies, said Benny Morten, principal at St. Ann School in Chicago and a one-time ACE teacher himself. “What I’ve noticed since we

became an ACE school is that not only is Notre Dame sending us teachers with great training and knowledge, they are sending us teachers who bring a wonderful sense of spirituality to their work,” Morten told CNS during an onsite interview at his school. “We’re able to incorporate that energy, knowledge and spirituality throughout the school in our daily instruction.” In addition to being an ACE teaching fellow alum, the principal of St. Ann also went through what is now Notre Dame’s Mary Ann Remick Leadership Program, designed to create future leaders in the Catholic educational system. The p rog ram no t on ly provides its fellows with skills in instructional leadership, executive management and school culture, it also helps them develop a unified charism to foster within all activities at the schools in their charge, Dallavis said. “We are trying to duplicate that environment in our leadership program.” “That was something the vowed religious did so well and it created an atmosphere that resulted in successful students who also translated their faith into every aspect of their lives,” he said.

Since Catholic schools now have more expenses in salaries, today’s principals are charged with continual and effective fundraising to help keep tuitions affordable for families, especially in lower-income areas, Dallavis said. In addition to the teaching and leadership programs, ACE was called on to help three failing Catholic schools in Tucson, Arizona. ACE officials designed a complete restructuring and brought in ACE teaching fellows, which has been credited with a turnaround that ultimately saved the schools from closing. Notre Dame has since gone into two Florida Catholic schools to develop similar ACE academy models, Dallavis said. “We are establishing Notre Dame ACE academies in places where there are (state-supported) parental choice programs, so tax credits, scholarships or vouchers are available,” he said. “We also see these programs as the way that Catholic schools will be able to sustain our legacy of service to low-income communities.” ACE has placed more than 1,200 new teachers into Catholic schools throughout the U.S., and assigned more than 230 leadership fellows to 65 difference dioceses throughout the country. “In a large measure, what we are looking for is people with the talent, imagination and zeal, Schoenig said, “to put children on the path to college and heaven.”

The Catholic Church cannot call itself church if it is a “closed caste” where the sick, the wounded and sinners are shunned, Pope Francis told the 20 new cardinals he created. “The way of the church is precisely to leave her four walls behind and to go out in search of those who are distant, those essentially on the outskirts of life,” the pope said Feb. 15 as he celebrated Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica with 19 of the churchmen who received their red hats the day before and with about 140 other members of the College of Cardinals. “Total openness to serving others is our hallmark; it alone is our title of honor,” he told the men often referred to as “princes of the church.” The Mass capped a four-day gathering of the cardinals. They met with Pope Francis Feb. 12-13 to review ideas for the reform of the Roman Curia and Vatican finances as well as the progress made in the work of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. The pope’s homily at Mass with the cardinals, the meditation

on love and charity he offered Feb. 14 when he created the new cardinals and his exhortation that the Curia reform emphasize its role of service echo remarks he had made as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires at the meetings immediately preceding his election in March 2013. Evangelization presupposes that the church does not want to be locked up inside herself, but wants to go “to the peripheries, not only geographically, but also the existential peripheries: the mystery of sin, of pain, of injustice, of ignorance and indifference to religion, of intellectual currents, and of all misery,” he said in an outline of the 2013 talk that was released after his election. Even Pope Francis’ choice of new cardinals emphasized his focus on geographical peripheries and outreach to those often excluded from society. The 20 new cardinals came from 18 countries, including the first-ever cardinals from Tonga, Myanmar and Cape Verde. In his second round of naming cardinals, he once again skipped large Italian dioceses usually headed by cardinals -- notably

Venice and Turin -- and tapped Ancona and Agrigento, which is led by now-Cardinal Francesco Montenegro, a dedicated defender of the thousands of immigrants who risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean Sea to Europe. In the almost two years since his election, Pope Francis repeatedly has called Catholics to reach out to people on the margins of both the church and society. He also frequently cautions against the temptation of being modern-day scribes and Pharisees, who can allow obedience to the letter of the law to prevent them from reaching out to others with compassion. The Sunday Gospel reading was St. Mark’s version of Jesus touching a leper -- which was forbidden by Jewish law -- healing him and, in that way, allowing him back into the community. The purpose of the law against touching someone with leprosy and forcing them to live outside the community “was to safeguard the healthy, to protect the righteous,” the pope said. “Jesus, the new Moses, wanted to heal the leper,” the pope said. “He wanted to touch him and restore him to the community without being ‘hemmed in’ by prejudice, conformity to the prevailing mindset or worry about becoming infected.” What is more, the pope said, “Jesus responds immediately to the leper’s plea, without waiting

to study the situation and all its possible consequences.” “For Jesus, what matters above all is reaching out to save those far off, healing the wounds of the sick, restoring everyone to God’s family,” he said. “This is scandalous to some people.” But Jesus, he said, “does not think of the closed-minded who are scandalized even by a work of healing, scandalized before any kind of openness, by any action outside of their mental and spiritual boxes, by any caress or sign of tenderness which does not fit into their usual thinking and their ritual purity.” Pope Francis said there are two basic tendencies in the life of faith: being afraid of losing the saved, or wanting to save the lost. The church’s way, he said, “has always been the way of Jesus, the way of mercy and reinstatement.” Going out in search of the lost, he told the cardinals, “does not mean underestimating the dangers of letting wolves into the fold,” but it does mean “rolling up our sleeves and not standing by and watching passively the suffering of the world.” “The way of the church is not to condemn anyone for eternity,” he said, but “to pour out the balm of God’s mercy on all those who ask for it with a sincere heart.”

U.S. Ukrainian bishops urge prayer, fasting for peace in UkraineCatholic News Service

The Ukrainian Catholic bishops in the United States appealed for daily fasting and prayer for the citizens of Ukraine, their elected officials and the Ukrainian army. They also called for prayers for “the conversion” of pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine and “for unity and independence” for the nation. The bishops said they made the appeal in unison with Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of Kiev-Halych, Ukraine, and the other Ukrainian Catholic bishops, who have asked Catholics in their country to fast and pray daily. On Feb. 12, a new cease-fire agreement was reached, offering some hope the strife would end. It was to take effect at the start of Feb. 15. Previous cease-fires have not held. Last March, Russia annexed the Crimea region of Ukraine, and pro-Russian separatists control Ukraine’s eastern regions. Ukrainian Catholics fled Crimea to escape arrests and property seizures after the annexation. Most church parishes have closed in Ukraine’s war-torn Luhansk and Donetsk regions, where separatists declared an independent “New Russia” after staging local referendums last spring. The U.S. Ukrainian Catholic bishops urged Catholics to fast and pause from their daily activities “for an extended amount of time to reflect and pray for the people of Ukraine.”

Reflections OnSunday's Readings

By Sharon K. Perkins, Catholic News Service

February 22, First Sunday of Lent

Cycle B. Readings: (1) Genesis 9:8-15, Psalm 25:4-9 (2) 1 Peter 3:18-22 (Gospel) Mark 1:12-15

I live near a lovely part of the country where rolling hills blanketed with vegetation and century-old live oak trees provide habitat for wildlife and even a couple of rare species of birds. One of those endangered species, the golden-cheeked warbler, depends upon the ash juniper for its nesting material and for its very survival. On a recent drive through the hills, I was shocked and dismayed to see huge tracts of ash juniper habitat replaced by bare, rocky soil, cleared for future housing construction. I’m all for economic growth and the rights of families to relocate and prosper, but I can’t help feeling profound sadness at the irreplaceable loss of vegetation and wildlife that such progress brings. It goes beyond mere sentiment to a much deeper level of sorrow that something precious is gone forever. The biblical story of Noah and the ark has captured the imagination of generations of children. But a less romantic reading and a review of what led to the flood in the first place also points us to a profound truth: The God who created not only human beings but every living thing goes to tremendous lengths to keep us from destroying ourselves and everything else along with us. The sadness I feel at the loss of bird habitat is only a fraction of the grief that God must suffer when life, especially human life, is cheapened, abused or annihilated. The season of Lent begins with Jesus’ proclamation of the Gospel of God -- but what is this message? In his 1995 encyclical letter “Evangelium Vitae,” St. John Paul II explains, “The Gospel of life is at the heart of Jesus’ message. ... Respect, protect, love and serve life!” Conversely, it is the lack of regard for living things that he calls “the culture of death.” At its most extreme, this could involve the direct taking of human life -- but it might also include rejection of the weak and vulnerable, reckless consumption of natural resources or the irresponsible use of our sexuality. Lent provides the perfect opportunity to reflect upon how the “culture of death” might have taken root in our own lives, to repent accordingly and to once again embrace and cherish the fullness of life that overflows from the creative heart of God.
