Anonymous TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION One of our great treasures is the way the Church has frequently flourished under unfavorable conditions, like the grape ivy on the mantel that refuses to die no matter how infrequently you water it or open the drapes. Like the apartheid laws in South Africa in the last century, the penal laws of Ireland were aimed at depriving the majority population of basic human rights. The Protestant parliament of Ireland enacted laws limiting the practice of Catholicism. The goal was to force conversion from popery to the Church of Ireland, and additional laws took aim at Jews, non-anglicans, and Quakers. There were laws against intermarriage, laws against Catholics being lawyers (there was a one-hundred-pound fine), a law granting lifelong income to priests who became Protestant, and a ban on weapons. In fact, until 1793, a Catholic man had to recruit and pay a Protestant man to serve in the local militia in his place! As if family life is not complicated enough in any age, the sons of a deceased father could divide his land equally, unless one became Protestant. In that case all would go to him! When allowed, new Catholic churches had to be built of wood, not stone, be off a main road or city square, have no steeple or bell, and be called a chapel. Catholic Emancipation was largely secured by 1829, but even up to the founding of the Irish State in the 1920s, some effects of the laws endured. No wonder that poor Irish immigrants to the United States frequently built gloriously beautiful churches as their first act on free soil!

3 Do you know Catholic Marriage Covenant? The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament. (Canon Law 1055). The consent by which the spouses mutually give and receive one another is sealed by God Himself. From their covenant arises an institution, confirmed by the divine law,...even in the eyes of society. The covenant between the spouses is integrated into God s covenant with man: Authentic married love is caught up into divine love. Thus the marriage bond has been established by God Himself in such a way that a Marriage concluded and consummated between baptized persons can never be dissolved. This bond, which results from the free human act of spouses and their consummation of the marriage, is a reality, henceforth irrevocable, and gives rise to the covenant guaranteed by God s fidelity. (CCC 1639) Annulment of marriages are NOT Catholic divorces. An annulment of marriage is only to determine if a Sacrament/Covenant actually took place at the time of the wedding and consent. The petition to request an annulment of marriage is reviewed by the Diocesan Tribunal Office with priests and staff trained in Catholic Canon Law. An annulment DOES NOT say that children born of a marriage are illegitimate, but only determines if a Sacrament of Marriage took place with a legal bond.

Please call the Rectory! 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time What God has united Jesus teaches on marriage and indeed his whole attitude towards women and children which only makes sense when seen in the context of his time and culture. It s the teaching about the essential dignity of every human being and about what that means for all relationships, especially marriage. In Jesus time, there were two main schools of thought on marriage within the Jewish faith. One group taught that a man could divorce his wife only for a serious reason, such as adultery. The other school of thought was that it was a man s right to divorce his wife for any reason whatsoever even if she burnt dinner. In that society it was only men who could initiate divorce women had no such rights. The Pharisees question was a test to see if Jesus would take sides, perhaps even to contradict the Law of God. In our understanding, the question was specifically about how much power a husband has over his wife. Jesus refuses to buy into their assumption that a man has any right at all to exercise such power over his wife. Jesus is saying that a man can t treat a wife as an object. A woman is not a possession, as Genesis pointed out. She is a person with equal dignity and should be respected as such. Jesus affirms marriage as a covenant of equal partners. Domination and control have no place in a marriage nor in any relationship. Let us ask Do I treat others as a means to my ends, or do I respect their dignity and worth as human beings? Every Monday at 6pm Come join us and sing or croak! HE EMBRACED THEM AND BLESSED THEM Today Jesus stresses how children embody the reign of God. They are trusting and loving and have hearts that are open to love. They are joyful when they are made aware of God s love for them, and are eager to return that love. This is the model Jesus holds out to us if we want to welcome the reign of God. We need to have open, loving hearts. We must drop our defenses, however we came by them, and welcome Christ s love for us with joy. This is impossible for us on our own. Only the grace of God will enable us to do this, but that grace is freely and generously given. We have only to accept it.
