You can download this very informative booklet.
http://www.catholicsinalliance.org/voting-the-common-good
As long as you inform your conscience, use prudence, and maintain
a commitment to the common good, you are well on your
way to making a decision that is consistent with the call of our
Catholic faith.
...from the conclusion of this booklet.

Todd Flowerday at Catholic Sensibility and former poster here at RPI had this to say today. http://catholicsensibility.wordpress.com/2008/08/14/4938/
It would be great to have Todd post here again even if it's only occasionally.
- As long as the pope and bishops focus on sex predators, we can conclude they just don’t get it. Many of us have said it thousands of times. We’ve known for decades that clergy and religious have abused children, teens, and other vulnerable people in the guise of being spiritual helpers. Where do you think all the crazy nun and priest legends come from–rapping knuckles and all that? Priests behaving badly wasn’t news in 2002. What got people upset was that many bishops were criminally and morally complicit in illegal and horrific acts that victimized the weakest among us, especially children.

Jesus is grieving over John the Baptist yet he uses that grief to serve others. The gospel reminds us that we are all called to be Eucharist to one another, bread broken and shared for the life of the world. Do you see it differently?
What are your thoughts...on Isaiah, the psalm, Romans and the gospel?

One of the Post-Vatican fruits, for lack of a better word, is the 15th Station of the Cross, the "Resurrection". In studying and preparing an outline for Lent 2009, it increasingly has crossed my radar.
How is this handled in parishes that "celebrate" the Stations of the Cross as part of the Lenten Discipline? Is it part of weekly Stations? Have church's added the 15th station if they are displayed in the building?
While the Stations were restored in the Lutheran liturgy resource "This Far By Faith", the "Black" hymnal, if you will, it did not make the cut for the ELW, pity . I think the Stations are a good devotion. I wish I had a pastor talented enough to use it for a Lenten Theme, there is so much rich resources and potential in the Stations. Thoughts?
Some of the resources I'm using are
1. http://wischik.com/irene/cross/index.html
2. The Henri Nouen "Stations of the Cross"
3. Rev. Haney's "Stations of the Cross": Crossroads Publishing
Any other ideas out there for resources, we also have the Maryknoll Stations material, though this is dated, but still good IMO. Thanks in advance.

Sorry folks, but there seems to be a bug in the forum software, or at least in our installation of it. When someone has posted to this forum, the post has gone into a moderator's queue for approval. However, when the moderator or administrator go to that queue to approve the messages, there are no messages showing. I will be working to resolve this flaw, but for the time being, all posts will be posted. The moderator will still be able to move a post or to delete a post, when necessary. The moderator's queue says there are eight posts in the queue. If yours is one of them, please post it again. I apologize for the problem. I'm wondeerng if the same problem hasn't kept people from posting to the RCIA forum! I'll gve Br. Rich some time off, and we will see.

"Addicts note it obstructive to get contentment," said Prof van den resemble closely.

FYI if anyone is in need of a set of Lectionaries for office/desk or even ritual use, Liturgical Press has a great sale going on. I just ordered the "chapel" edition of the 3 non-Sunday Lectionaries (Weekday I, Weekday II, Ritual/Votive/Commons) and they were $17.49 each, down from $49.95. You have to order each one separately; don't get the "Set of 3" as that bundle doesn't reflect the sale.

Follow the link at the end to the English translation of "Kerk en Ambt." My favorite quote from the criteria for selecting one of their pseudo-priests: "They should allow the local community to assess their liturgical creativity." To those who previously objected to my assertion that "creativity" and the invention of cute stunts is valued in certain progressive circles, can we now consider that proven?

John Allen reports on Marini replacing Marini.
http://ncrcafe.org/node/1353/print
I am a little surprised that Allen's description of some of P. Marini's more notable efforts isn't a little more... neutral?
In 1998, the congregation wrote to the bishop of Honolulu to ban the use of hula dancing in any liturgical context, a custom that had become common among Catholics in Hawaii. Yet when John Paul visited Brussels in 1995 for the beatification of Father Damien DeVeuster, the famous saint of the Hawaiian lepers, a hula dance was performed smack in the middle of the ceremony.
For those who know Marini’s style, it was hardly a surprise. Anyone who has ever attended a major papal liturgy, such as a World Youth Day Mass or a major canonization Mass, has seen enough dance to remind them of Broadway production numbers. During the World Youth Day Mass in Rome in the summer of 2000, for example, a troupe of young dancers bearing flags with different colors representing the different continents was one of the highlights of the event.
In Mexico in 2002 when John Paul II canonized Juan Diego, native Aztec dancers gyrated down a walkway towards the pope in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe as native music blared forth. The next day, when the pope beatified a pair of Mayan martyrs in the same spot, another native song-and-dance routine was performed. This time there was the further twist of a limpia, or purification, ceremony. The Indian blessing is believed to cure spiritual and physical ailments by driving off evil spirits. Indian women bearing smoking pots of incense brushed herbs on the pontiff, Mexico City Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera and other prelates as the dancing unfolded.
Well, God bless the out-going MC in his new endeavors (and the in-coming as well, of course.)

I ask you to remember in your prayers Fr. Ed Boyle, S.J. Fr. Ed is the director of the Boston Labor School. He is struggling with some serious health issues.
The Boston Labor School is one of the last of the great labor school tradition. His work has been instrumental in continuing to teach workers basic leadership skills, and labor law, as well as working for greater labor-management cooperation.

I learned yesterday of a Parish, way out in the middle of nowhere, restoring their Communion Rail. It was shortened dramatically on both sides of the opening in the 1980s. Today it is being restored with a gate that replicates the original.
Many Parishes today are undertaking such projects and I think it is wonderful. Their Parishes are being restored to closer to their original state.
We should encourage such projects - even if not in our own parish - with donations, prayers and formal letters of encouragement. Sometimes a letter of kind and encouraging words will encourage pastors to continue with such work (perhaps restoring a high altar or moving the tabernacle to the center).
Deo Gratias!

Though I don't do it persionally, I have a couple of friends who are gifted in making Liturgical art, one which made us a Black Madonna Banner. I just got a copy of "The Patchwork Pilgrimage" by Jill and Andrew Liddell, a terrific visual and written history of examples on quilting vestments, altar frontals, copes etc.
Is anyone aware of a discussion group devoted to these arts? I was a member of CVA, an Episcopal site, which was helpful, any other ideas? Thanks.

By Kathy Gallo (Today's Parish)
Seven secrets to adult faith formation
1. Be a contextualist. Every parish is different. Every context is different no matter what the setting. Spend time getting to know the people in your parish. Talk to parishioners about the history of the community, the parish, and about the stories of the people.
2. Listen. Find ways to gather people in an informal setting and listen. Listen to the lives of the people in your parish. Interview persons in your parish in a nonthreatening atmosphere. Knowing the people personally will inevitably change your approach to faith formation.
3. Think systematically. Adult faith formation will not occur primarily in a classroom setting. Most likely, classroom settings will only reach a small portion of your adults. Parish leaders must look for connections. Where can you meet the adults in their life experiences now? How can liturgy, community, catechesis, and service integrate and become a new format for adults to reflect meaningfully on their faith and life? Know the big picture of the small parish, or the group.
4. Collaborate. Staff will be at a premium in small parishes. Rural parish leadership needs the ability to pull together members of the parish in a variety of ways to plan for parish catechesis. There is a great wisdom in the people. Draw on the wisdom of the people to plan for their faith formation in a way that meets their needs as adults. Plan with the people of the parish, not for the people in the parish.
5. Focus on parish rather than on program. Every activity that goes on in the parish can be an opportunity for faith formation. Create prayer opportunities and times for reflection for groups that meet on an ongoing basis, such as the parish council, St. Vincent de Paul Society, musicians, etc. These opportunities can be centered on a common theme for critical reflection by the parish. Each entity can be gathered together for a meal of appreciation and sharing of these reflections.
6. Don't be afraid of the media. Quality video, reading material, and especially the Internet can provide vehicles for people to learn, to critically reflect, and to interact with others. Use these resources well.
7. Model lifelong learning. If we truly want to create a church focused on adult formation we must be adult learners ourselves. Being an adult learner will cultivate within us the qualities necessary to implement change in our parishes when needed, to look for ways to meet people in the context of their lives, and to work with the parish to form a parish learning community. It is an exciting endeavor.

"When we feel the presence of the poor only at a distance, their bodies cannot pervade our hearts and our lives. We can hand our leftovers to the poor and even give clothes, money, and food to the pantries and soup kitchens and social service agencies to ease our consciences, but until they enter our lives as real people, we will not be doing what the liturgy requires. We will not change."
