Legionaries of Christ – Vatican Report

May 01, 2010 By: frbobscorner Category: Global Church, Pope & Vatican No Comments →

The long awaited report from the Vatican on the Legionaries of Christ was released today. The NATIONAL CATHOLIC REGISTER has just published the document in English. Deception and Betrayal are horrible to experience in life, and I can imagine that many in the Legion are experiencing all kinds of mixed emotions. Why their founder (Father Marcial Maciel Degollado) did what he did is now in God’s hands, but the scandalization, hurts, and scars he has left behind are just horrible. Let us remember in our prayers the thousands and thousands of very good and holy people he has hurt and betrayed, and pray that the church will be able to comfort and heal the wounds of so many. Here is a brief quote of assurance from the Vatican report.

Priest, Abuse, and the Vatican

April 16, 2010 By: frbobscorner Category: Pope & Vatican No Comments →

It seems that the only news available on the the Catholic Church right now is about the scandal of sexual abuse of children by priests. My Google reader is filled with story after story, viewpoint after viewpoint, situation after situation, opinion after opinion, etc.. If you are like me, you look for articles and people who have the ability to be most insightful and helpful. One of the authors I turn to is John Allen which Vatican Radio also turn too, and even reprinted one of his recent articles. A second author is  Thomas Reese, S.J., Senior Fellow of Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University. There is an excellent interview with him by Maureen Fiedler on http://interfaithradio.org/node/1290.

Addressing the Sexual Abuse Crisis

March 29, 2010 By: frbobscorner Category: Pope & Vatican No Comments →

The Official blog of the Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto has a new post on the sexual abuse crisis. It is well worth reading. These few opening words near the beginning of the post set its tone and perspective: “We should all remember that if there was no abuse, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. We are ashamed that there was rampant sexual abuse of minors by clergy throughout the world and that this abuse was not dealt with more directly and pastorally.Yes, the spotlight is being shone on us but it is also our responsibility to set the bar at the highest level.” FULL POST of March 29, 2010 –ADDRESSING WORLDWIDE CLAIMS OF ABUSE

Christmas Trees, The Vatican, and Two Popes

December 19, 2009 By: frbobscorner Category: Faith & Culture, Pope & Vatican No Comments →

Christmas Trees have been a part of my Christmas for 65 years. I can’t imagine Christmas without one. Yet, it was only in 1982 that John Paul II recognized the tradition. In that year John Paul II requested that a Christmas tree adorn StVatican Christmas Tree Peter’s Square during the Christmas Season, and one has enhanced the square every Christmas since. On December the 4th, 2009 a 100ft tree was put in place in the square. The official lighting ceremony took place on December 18th. Pope Benedict admired the tree and made the following comments:

Women Religious in America

November 15, 2009 By: frbobscorner Category: Faith & Culture, Lifestyle, Pope & Vatican, Vocations No Comments →

The Vatican is presently researching and reviewing women religious in the U.S.. Many are threatened and even angry for many reasons – why only women religious being a common concern. Be it as it may, many religious orders are in crisis situation (men and women)  with few or no new vocations. Let us pray that the Holy Spirit helps all involved to understand this present crisis, and that it will inspire a hopeful, loving response-answer-solution.

Married Priests – The Vatican’s Response Summarized

November 13, 2009 By: frbobscorner Category: Pope & Vatican No Comments →

The present shortage of priests often gives rise to a discussion on married priests. With the Pope’s recent invite to Anglican laity and clergy to join the Catholic Church, some saw a potential thaw in the Vatican’s position on celibate clergy. Not so, says John Thavis of Catholic New Service, as he reviews the Vatican’s response to this issue since the Synod on Priestly Formation in 1990 to the present day: Married priests? For the Vatican, still an exception to the rule.

Youth Rally in Angola with Pope

March 21, 2009 By: frbobco Category: Evangelization, Global Church, Pope & Vatican No Comments →

I captured a few pictures from the EWTN Broadcast of the Youth Rally with The Pope. It was a glorious meeting filled with African Music, Welcoming Messages, Youth Testimonies, and a short speech by Pope Benedict encouraging the youth to be faithful to their Christian Identity. He challenged the youth to make life long decisions and commitments - the true test of real maturity in every age: Dare to make definite decisions - life long commitments, and don’t give in to doubt, corruption, and hedonism. You are the seed - the seed of the new City, the New Jerusalem, he said, and the only way to grow the seed is to die to love. Bring to life the Holy City, the Pope challenged, as the crowds applauded enthusiastically. Towards the end of the event a young man in a wheel chair came on to the stage with the Pope and sang a moving song to Jesus My Friend. The young man appeared to have been crippled during the recent civil war, and as he sang I’m sure many a tear of thanksgiving and hope were shed as he made God’s love strong and visible.

The Pope, Condoms, and AIDS

March 21, 2009 By: frbobco Category: Lifestyle, Pope & Vatican No Comments →

I wish the Pope had handled the condom question a little differently so that the condom controversy didn’t overshadow his African pilgrimage. But now that it has become front page news I’d like to get my two cents worth in on the topic as well. It sounds to me like the Pope might be on the right track about condoms when you read what the Director of the Aids Prevention Research Project at The Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies has to say.

My view of the world constantly vacillates between the extremes of optimism and pessimism, as I journey through the modern world. On the one hand there seems to be a new effort on the part of many to live together on this small planet. Human rights, cultural diversity and respect, new avenues of communication fostered by technology, and the new ‘green thinking’ give me great hope.

Aliens, UFO’s, God, and Us.

May 17, 2008 By: frbobco Category: Pope & Vatican, Spirituality No Comments →

It seems as if there is an international effort to respond to those that have seen a UFO, and believe in aliens from outer space. Recently France, Belgium, and the U.K., and a few other countries have released or are about to release their secret dossiers on this very subject. This week the Vatican waded into this highly controversial topic on May 14 with an interview in L’Osservatore Romano with Fr. Funes S.J., the director of the Vatican Observatory. Why Now? Maybe it is to counter all the debate out there and prove that there is really nothing, or maybe, just maybe, there really is proven life in outer space, and we are not alone. If you would like to hear what Fr. Funes had to say, and you may be surprised, here is a link to the CNS which covered the story. Better still, here is a translation of the interview on frroderick.com.

Papal Robes: An Expression of Catholic Identity?

As the Benedict XVI processed into the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington on Wednesday evening for evening prayer, he wore an ermine trimmed half-cape. Why does he want to dress like this, I wondered? Isn’t this the Pope that reminds us that liturgy should de-focus the person, and draw us into the worship of a God we cannot see? Yet, here he was definitely drawing my attention to his attire, and thus the man.

The Pope and the Environment

September 07, 2007 By: frbobco Category: European Church, Lifestyle, Morality, Pope & Vatican No Comments →

In this last year the Vatican and Benedict XVI have been increasing their advocacy on behalf of the environment. On Sept 2, 2007 the Pope called on people to make “courageous decisions” on the future of the planet at an address to 300,000 Roman Catholics at an environment festival in

Loreto, Italy. We need a decisive ‘yes’ to care for creation and a strong commitment to reverse those trends that risk making the situation of decay irreversible,” he stated. 

Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprising, there is a great furor in Austria about five small trees that were planted at the time of John Paul II’s visit to Austria ten years ago. The trees were cut to build the public platform for an outdoor Mass.  Some how or other many seem to feel this action smacks of hypocrisy. (Say one thing and do another - isn’t that just like him, they are saying.) I suppose, if one wants to find fault and to be critical, a way can be found, and they found it. It’s too bad that some loose focus and can’t see the forest for the trees, literally speaking.
Most serious environmentalist are applauding the Pope and the

Vatican’s actions on behalf of humanity and the planet. Let us pray that the human family will wake up before it is too late. The this week the New York Time reported that biologist in the last 250 years have only been able to identify and categorize only 1.8 million species of plants, animals and micro-organisms which is estimated to be about 10 percent of the planet’s life forms. The good news is that with recent technological advances it is now going to be possible to identify and classify the other 90 percent in the next 25 years:“Why bother making such an effort,” asks the NY Times? “Because each species from a bacterium to a whale is a masterpiece of evolution. Each has persisted, its mix of genes slowly evolving, for thousands to millions of years. And each is exquisitely adapted to its environment and interlocks with a legion of other species to form the ecosystems upon which our own lives ultimately depend. We need to properly explore Earth’s biodiversity if we are to understand, preserve and manage it.”
Meanwhile bulldozers and chainsaws are furiously competing with the Scientist who are trying to preserve and understand God’s creation. Each day unknown species become extinct as their habitat fall prey to the ruthless rampage of so called developers. Maybe our Austrian friends should stop worring about five trees and rally behind church leaders who are trying to save the world’s forests and their inhabitants.

“What will we and future generations lose if a large part of the living environment continues to disappear, asks the Times.” And the answer they provide from the scientific community should make all men and women of good will applaud the Pope’s efforts to halt our planet’s destruction. “Huge potential stores of scientific information will never exist. Novel classes of pharmaceuticals and future crops will be thrown away. Ecological services like water purification, soil renewal and pollination — which are approximately equal to the world gross domestic product, and given away by natural ecosystems — will be diminished. Environmental stability will be harder to achieve.

Catholic Identity-Changed or Lost?

July 13, 2007 By: frbobscorner Category: Evangelization, Pope & Vatican No Comments →

When I was growing up in the 40’s and 50’s, I had a strong Catholic Identity. I considered my self, as a Roman Catholic, a true Christian, and a member of the true church. Catholics, in my mind, were the real Christians and all others who called themselves Christian were heretics. We were a people that did what God wanted: attended a Latin Mass every Sunday and other Holy Days of Obligation, abstained from meat on Fridays, and confessed our sins to a priest on a regualar basis, (at least once a year, as our Easter Duty.)
In the 60’s the Vatican Council inspired a new Catholic Identity. One that recognized with a new respect the faith and baptism of other Christians, and the revelatory presence of God in othe religions. Mass was celebrated in English, abstinence from meat on Fridays was no longer compulsory, and confession became more communal. Today, the great excitement of the years of the Vatican Council is long forgotten, and most who call themselves Catholic know little of their faith, and attend Mass a few times a year, particularly at Christmas. Do we still have a Catholic Identity? Should we have a Catholic Identity? Many would say no, or who cares, to the first question. The second question is a little harder to comment on, but few would want the relgious bigotry of the 40’s, and 50’s. John Allen in this article comments on recent vatican decisions from the point of view of present day Roman Catholicism and its identity in the secular west. (Read his article)

Benedict’s Appointees

November 05, 2006 By: frbobscorner Category: Pope & Vatican No Comments →

Yet all that said, the fact remains that Benedict’s most consequential appointments to date don’t bear a strong ideological imprint. How to explain this?
One would probably do well to return to Pope Benedict’s homily on April 24, 2005, during his Inaugural Mass: “My real program of governance is not to do my own will, not to pursue my own ideas, but to listen, together with the whole church,” he said that day.
Most commentators assumed that this was little more than the pro-forma paean to unity that candidates who win elections always sing, and that his real agenda would emerge once Benedict got his hands on the levers of power. In fact, however, Benedict’s major appointments suggest that by and large, he actually meant what he said.
