3 February 10, 2019 Fi h Sunday in Ordinary Time From the Pastor s Deskw cond Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Sitting here looking at the screen of my laptop for the past hour, trying to figure out what it is I am writing about, and how I can open up this letter, I received a message from a friend, asking a question, which provides me with a perfect topic, and now that I have the opening line out of the way. His question was about an article he read online, which questioned a statement Pope Francis made while in the UAE (United Arab Emirates). Without getting into the details of the article, or what it criticized Pope Francis for saying or not saying, there were two things that came immediately to my attention as I read: the first was the author stating that there was too much in a document to go into detail about; and the second was his referring to His Holiness as the pseudo-pope. While the first is typical of most journalism, online journalism, or opinionated, indoctrinational hogwash that one finds today, and can be excused as propaganda of one group or another, it is the second issue that cries out to be addressed. After the last Presidential election, there were many people in America who adopted the cry not my president, which was ridiculous, as Donald Trump won the election, and was sworn into office. There would be legitimacy for those who said not the president that I voted for, but that was not what they were stating. Because of the swing in politics, not only in this country, but around the world, and the tendency towards mob mentality, passing itself off as democratization, people are now convinced that opinion and ideology are equivalent to facts, reason and truth. While the winds of politics may shift, and those who hold elected positions are subject to the will of the people and the rule of law, the Church has survived for over 2000 years because by its very nature it is eternal; it is eternal because it is the Body of Christ. We identify the Church, according to the Nicene Creed, which is professed by Christians as undeniable, as being One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. Briefly stated, it is One, because it is in Communion, that is joined together as the Body of Christ, and by its nature singular, there is no other Church, although there are those who are separated from it; which I will get back to. It is Holy, in that it is not profane, it is set apart from this world, even though it operates in this world. This is part of the insanity also, when we have people using their understanding of the world to attempt to define or direct the Church, especially when their position is based on ideologies which change over time. Case in point, those politicians who identify as Catholic, yet champion abortion as compatible with our Faith, when the killing of innocents is always antithetical to the Church s teachings. We are Catholic, that is Universal, in that the Church is everywhere, even in those cultures and countries which are hostile towards Christ and His Church. Finally, the Church is Apostolic, that is it is founded by Jesus Himself, on the Apostles and their successors, who are the bishops, and particularly the Bishop of Rome, the successor of Peter. Can we disagree with Pope Francis? Certainly, unless he is speaking Ex Cathedra, meaning from the Chair of Peter in St. John Lateran Basilica, on matters of Faith or Morals, then he is infallible, but we need to be aware of a couple of things: 1) Even when the Pope is not speaking Ex Cathedra, his words carry with them the teaching authority of the Church, that is the Magisterium, and therefore have to be considered carefully before being rejected, with reason. 2) To reduce the words of any pope risks allowing all Church teaching to be degraded. There were those who objected to many things that St. John Paul II said or did while he was Pontiff, and there were those who denounced anything said by Pope Emeritus Benedict, because he was viewed as a threat to progress in the Church. 3) To call into question the legitimacy of Pope Francis, risks degrading not only the Apostolic foundations of the Church, since anyone can then question any bishop s ordination, but it also risks schism. What is meant by Schism, is the breaking apart of the Body of Christ the Church; the greatest example of which is the rift between the Eastern Orthodox churches and the Church in Communion with our Holy Father, Pope Francis, his predecessors and successors. Of course, the Protestant schism, which saw various groups break away from Rome, resulted in multiple other breaks, and groups, until finally various groups present themselves as churches, while the understanding of Christ is lost to interpretation and ideology. Possibly the best example would be the Jehovah Witnesses, who emerged out of Brooklyn, denied the divinity of Christ, rewrote the Bible to fit their agenda, and seem to gather followers based on a hatred of the Catholic Church. The long and short of it is, if you see something attributed to the Pope, and it riles your feathers, stop, think, pray, go to the Vatican website ( and see what was actually said. Then pray on it some more, and if that s not enough, ask someone about it. Pax, Fr. Henry

4 February 10, 2019 Fi h Sunday in Ordinary Time GOD S SUMMONS Confronted with God s power and majesty, the first response of the prophet Isaiah was to acknowledge his sinfulness. Woe is me, I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips, he said aloud. Likewise, with his empty fishing nets dramatically filled at Jesus instruction, Peter fell to his knees and cried out, Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man. Next, Peter got up. He docked his boats then left to follow Jesus. Isaiah also had a dramatic change of heart. When he heard the Lord say, Whom shall I send? Who will go for us? Isaiah answered, Here I am, send me. We are summoned daily by the Risen Lord. We are reminded of the saving power of the gospel and know in our heart of hearts that, as St. Paul wrote, believing in anything else won t lead to anything. What will it take for you to move past your sinfulness? What will it take for you to get off your knees? What will it take for you to bring to dock what is unimportant and to accept your call to be God s messenger? Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY S READINGS First Reading Isaiah is called to be a messenger for the Lord and responds, Send me! (Isaiah 6:1-2a, 3-8) Psalm In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord (Psalm 138). Second Reading Paul reminds us of the gospel he preached through which we are saved, if we believe it (1 Corinthians 15:1-11 [3-8, 11]). Gospel Jesus directs Simon to take his boat into deep water for a miraculous catch of fish. (Luke 5:1-11).

Ay de mí, estoy perdido porque soy un hombre de labios impuros, dice en voz alta. De la misma manera, con las redes de pesca repentinamente llenas con la orden de Jesús, Pedro cae de rodillas y clama: Señor, apártate de mí porque soy un pecador. Después Pedro se levanta, deja atracado su bote y sigue a Jesús. Isaías también experimentó un cambio impresionante. Cuando escuchó al Señor que decía: A quién voy a enviar? Quién irá por nosotros?, Isaías respondió: Aquí estoy, envíame. Somos llamados diariamente por el Señor resucitado. Se nos recuerda del poder salvador del Evangelio y sabemos de corazón que, como escribió san Pablo, creer en otra cosa no nos llevará a ningún lado. Qué se necesita para que dejes el pecado? Qué se necesita para que caigas de rodillas? Qué se necesita para que dejes lo que no es importante y aceptes el llamado de ser mensajero de Dios? Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
