In this episode of What Catholics Believe, Thomas Naegele and Father Jenkins first address viewer questions and then discuss current events from a traditional Catholic perspective.

 A viewer asks whether practicing Natural Family Planning for couples with a propensity to produce children who are mentally impaired is a kind of eugenics; Pope Pius XII - NFP can be licit in certain circumstances; if life is there, but impaired, the child has right to life; abstaining from fear; Can “divorcees” reconcile after one has contracted a civil “marriage” and a new “family”?; the moral depravity of the Novus Ordo; the question whether the first two are genuinely married; Church does not accept “second marriages”; the obligation is to reunite; living in a “second marriage” is a mortal sin; what about the children — should the marriage remain for their sake?; best example for the children — to honor the marriage that truly exists, not remain in adultery; to remain in a false marriage is a road to hell; USSCB opposing penalties for those who commit abortions; Catholic Church - anyone who participates in an abortion is automatically excommunicated; mothers naturally risk their lives to protect their babies; to succumb to pressures is unnatural; the default stance is that the woman bears the first responsibility; to treat the woman as if she has no responsibility cheapens the life of everyone; abortion is an attack on the value and meaning of human life and thus leads to all other evils; everyone knows the baby in the womb is a human life; they abort it precisely because they know it is a human life; democratic party is the party of abortion; St. Paul — “They glory in their shame”: democrats applaud pro-abortion laws (e.g., NY); abortionists howl like the possessed; reduced human life to a commodity; there are graces at work right now as a result of prayer; we must pray like we've never prayed before; we should expect graces from prayer; we should pick up our rosaries and run to battle; Pius XII and the changes in the holy week in 1955; Pius XII condemned “archeologism”; modernists — “if we can change the Triduum, we can change anything; Pope Pius V's Quo Primum; Last Gospel not practiced universally before St. Pius V; Church emphasized devotion to the Sacred Heart and Christ the King — added organically to the missals; problem with the 1955 “restoration”— protestant in spirit; said that the Mass had become corrupted; look to primitive (rather than traditional) practices; what counted as legitimately primitive was subject to their fancies; Martin Luther — Catholic Church is a false church and I, myself, have discovered the truth; Modernists — the Church's liturgy has gotten off track and we need to establish “primitive christianity” (according to their fancies); archeologism a denial of the work of the Holy Ghost in the Church; thousand year practice of the Church not to administer Holy Communion on Good Friday; St. Pius X in Pascendi — modernism the synthesis of all heresies; compromise in the liturgy leads to compromise in other areas; insertion of St. Joseph's name into the Canon; now optional to mention saints name in the Novus Ordo Mass; St. Pius X - modernists characterized by audacity and pride; marxists had to get the Church out of the way; only the Catholic Church has the power given by Christ to withstand the powers of hell. In current events: Food shortages part of the plan of the Great Reset; “You will own nothing and be happy”; Karl Marx - private property the source of unhappiness; Our Lady of Fatima — famine would result if sin continued and Russia was not consecrated.

English summary: The cover-up of child sexual abuse by the Catholic Church has been occurring under the pontificate of six popes since 1922. For 1500 years, the Catholic Church accepted that clergy who sexually abused children deserved to be stripped of their status as priests and then imprisoned. A series of papal and Council decrees from the twelfth century required such priests to be dismissed from the priesthood, and then handed over to the civil authorities for further punishment. That all changed in 1922 when Pope Pius XI issued his decree Crimen Sollicitationis that created a de facto privilege of clergy by imposing the secret of the Holy Office on all information obtained through the Churchs canonical investigations. If the State did not know about these crimes, then there would be no State trials, and the matter could be treated as a purely canonical crime to be dealt with in secret in the Church courts. Pope Pius XII continued the decree. Pope John XXIII reissued it in 1962. Pope Paul VI in 1974 extended the reach of pontifical secrecy to the allegation itself. Pope John Paul II confirmed the application of pontifical secrecy in 2001, and in 2010, Benedict XVI even extended it to allegations about priests sexually abusing intellectually disabled adults. In 2010, Pope Benedict gave a dispensation to pontifical secrecy to allow reporting to the police where the local civil law required it, that is, just enough to keep bishops out of jail. Most countries in the world do not have any such reporting laws for the vast majority of complaints about the sexual abuse of children. Pontifical secrecy, the cornerstone of the cover up continues. The effect on the lives of children by the imposition of the Churchs Top Secret classification on clergy sex abuse allegations may not have been so bad if canon law had a decent disciplinary system to dismiss these priests. The 1983 Code of Canon Law imposed a five year limitation period which virtually ensured there would be no canonical trials. It required bishops to try to reform these priests before putting them on trial. When they were on trial, the priest could plead the Vatican Catch 22 defencehe should not be dismissed because he couldnt control himself. The Church claims that all of this has changed. Very little has changed. It has fiddled around the edges of pontifical secrecy and the disciplinary canons. The Church has been moonwalking.

Edith Stein (also known as Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross or Saint Edith Stein - 12 October 1891 – 9 August 1942) was a German Jewish philosopher who converted to Christianity and became a Discalced Carmelite nun. When the Nazis conquered Holland, Teresa was arrested, and, with her sister Rose, was sent to the concentration camp at Auschwitz. Teresa died in the gas chambers of Auschwitz in 1942 at the age of fifty-one. In 1987, she was beatified in the large outdoor soccer stadium in Cologne by Pope John Paul II. She is canonized as a martyr and saint of the Catholic Church; she is also one of six patron saints of Europe.

Many Evangelical Christian churches and The Catholic Church have lobbied for decades to outlaw the right to an abortion, but not all people of faith agree. Reverend Dr. Jacqueline Lewis senior minister at the Middle Church and author of Fierce Love: A Bold Path to Ferocious Courage and Rule-Breaking Kindness that Can Heal the World (Harmony, 2021) talks about how abortion rights fit into her religious and moral values, and listeners from different faiths do the same. Plus, Rev. Dr. Lewis reflects on the racist mass shooting this weekend in Buffalo, and talks about how Middle Collegiate addressed it at church yesterday.

Indigenous people have long stressed the unspeakable horrors of residential (boarding) schools in North America. Last year, those horrors were made inescapably real for many when mass graves were unearthed at multiple school locations in Canada. Since then, the fight to confront the colonial and genocidal function of these schools has ramped up, and that fight reached a new height when a delegation of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis leaders met with Pope Francis at the Vatican—a meeting that was followed by a formal apology for the Catholic Church's role in driving the residential school system. In this installment of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc welcomes back journalist Brandi Morin, who was at the Vatican for last month's historic meeting, to discuss the ways that the colonial violence embodied in residential schools lives on today.Brandi Morin is an award-winning French/Cree/Iroquois journalist from Treaty 6 territory in Alberta, Canada. Her work has appeared in numerous outlets, including Al Jazeera English, The Guardian, The National Observer, The New York Times, Vice Canada, and CBC Indigenous.

Father James Martin and director Shannon Post talk about their documentary “Building a Bridge” with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ talks. The documentary named after the book by Father Martin “Building a Bridge” follows a priest on his mission to make the Catholic Church more accepting of our LGBTQ community despite loud opposition from both inside and outside the Church. The film tells the stories of people whose lives intersect in emotional and complicated ways with Father Martin's journey as a voice for acceptance within the Church and the conflict between conservative and liberal Catholics over LGBTQ issues including Pope Francis. One of the highlights of the film is when Father Martin talks about how horrified he was by Catholic leaders' silence in the wake of the Pulse Nightclub Massacre. He addresses this issue with a grieving Pulse mother Christine Leinonen whose son Dru was killed in the massacre. The film also follows Father Martin and the lives he has impacted including a family with three LGBTQ siblings and a college student trying to reconcile his gay and Catholic identities. Shannon co-directed and produced the film with Evan Mascagni a Catholic who was disenchanted by the Church but inspired by Father Martin's message of building a bridge between the Church and our LGBTQ community that also resonated with Shannon as a queer person. The film came to the attention of Martin Scorsese who served as Executive Producer of “Building a Bridge” which premiered at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival. We talked to Father James and Shannon about what they hope to accomplish with this film and their spin on our LGBTQ issues.  Father James Martin is a Jesuit priest, editor at large of America magazine, consultor to the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication and the author of many books including the New York Times bestsellers “Jesus: A Pilgrimage”, “The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything” and “Learning to Pray”. A graduate of the Wharton School of Business Father Martin worked in corporate America before entering the Jesuits. Currently he recently launched Outreach a new website designed to help LGBTQ Catholics, their families and friends with respect, compassion and sensitivity. For More Info… Shannon Post is a queer documentary filmmaker and is currently producing a documentary feature supported by The Redford Center. She co-founded the film production company Player Piano Productions which creates social impact documentary films. "Building a Bridge" is now available on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vimeo and YouTube. The film will launch on AMC+ on June 21st and have its broadcast premiere on Sundance TV on June 26th.   For More Info… LISTEN: 500+ LGBTQ Chats @OUTTAKE VOICES

Generations of black women and girls who took up the call to religious life in America found themselves subjected to racism, sexism and exclusion from within their own Roman Catholic communities. Edward Stourton explores this hidden history with Dr Shannon Dee Williams, from the University of Dayton in Ohio and author of ‘Subversive Habits: Black Catholic Nuns in the Long African American Freedom Struggle' and Dr Patricia Grey, a former nun and the Founding President of the National Black Sisters Conference. The war in Ukraine has prompted many countries to review their military strategies. But one religious group believes the way to bring peace is for individuals to build bridges. The Quakers in Britain are suggesting people contact individual Russians, emphasising our common humanity and shared values. They call it Citizen Diplomacy, and hundreds of Quakers have been using social media to reach people in Russia, or making cards to send. One Russian supporter of the Quakers, who now lives in the UK, has been reaching out to people in his homeland through his own initiative - a Russian language podcast called Human Rights in Russia. Sergei Nikitin talks of building bridges of peace through personal relationships. Earlier this week an outspoken supporter of democracy and former leader of the Catholic Church in Hong Kong, Cardinal Zen, was arrested and then released on bail. Edward Stourton asks Lord Chris Patten, the last Governor of Hong Kong for his reaction to the news and his fears for the future of religious freedom in Hong Kong. Producers: Jonathan Hallewell and Jill Collins Presenter: Edward Stourton

Growing a conscience when you're an alcoholic, ambulance chaser is a longtime movie trope (right?), but very few of those guys have been played by Paul Newman. Unfortunately, not even one of the world's greatest actors could overcome some problems with David Mamet's script, namely that Newman's motivations for taking a "let's just settle" civil case to trial are selfish and wrongheaded. Taking on the Catholic Church seems like an honourable move in 2022, sure, but that wasn't so obvious 40 years ago. Did even THE CHURCH deserve what happens in this movie? And is the ending in Sidney Lumet's Oscar-nominee actually a happy one? Was justice done? It's a complicated film. So don't be a double agent working for a talented-but-unscrupulous attorney. Just gather in what the 442nd Ellises' Analysis has to say about The Verdict. Oh, and you might want to be like Newman in the last scene and guzzle a bunch of coffee. We have a java sponsor!

The post 5th Sunday of Easter appeared first on St. Mary's Catholic Church.

Baptism is something that has caused enormous amounts of confusion, division, fear, uncertainty, family pressure, emotion, and tension. But why? The Catholic Church teaches that baptism is necessary for salvation while the Protestant Church teaches that baptism is simply an outward proclamation of one's profession of faith in Jesus. So, who's right?
