3 My dear brothers and sisters, Happy New Year! May this year bring to you all goodness, happiness, and health. Know of my prayers and thoughts each day. Perhaps, you, like me, have noticed a subtle change in our culture. It is very disturbing the trend in society that has made the use of titles between inferiors and superiors virtually disappear in the last few years. Adults, youth and children are on a first name basis with everyone - teachers, doctors, civil authorities, priests, etc. I recently had the opportunity to attend several social events, something rare for me, and found this egalitarian trend is even invading traditionalist circles. This is Jim Rogers, I heard a mother say, introducing a lawyer to her daughter, no more than 16 years of age. Hello, Jim, the girl politely chimed. No Mr. Rogers, just Jim, regardless of the great differences in age, education and social status between the two. It is not just children addressing adults by their first names. A man meets another man or woman, and immediately is on a first name basis with him or her. This revolutionary attitude is so prevalent in the sales world that it seems clerks no longer even have surnames Hello, I m Josh. Can I help you? I can already hear the objections: With our youth facing all the problems of drugs, morality, etc, why do you bother with such a trifling matter. If we consider the respect, reverence and honor that the youth paid to adults a century or even a half century ago, we will see how far this Cultural Revolution has progressed. When I went to the American Catholic Etiquette book (1963) and an older Emily Post Etiquette (1922) to see what the courtesy experts had to say on the topic of youth addressing adults by their first names, I was surprised to learn the topic was not even addressed. Why not? For the simple reason that then those authors could not even imagine a day when children and young adults would leave off the Mr., Mrs. and Miss when they spoke to their elders and superiors. Sad to say, what was unthinkable then has become so common today that even in conservative and traditionalist circles this bad habit does not raise eyebrows It is an important reflection of the magnitude of this erosion that is leading to a complete egalitarianism. When the faithful Catholic becomes aware that the Revolution is destroying dignified ways of treatment and implanting others to foster egalitarianism and vulgarity, he responds with a counter-attack. Today it has become difficult to imagine the dignity and respect adults used to receive from children First, he acknowledges that doing away with titles is not an insignificant matter. He realizes that the aim of destroying the signs of respect in human relationships is to chip away at the authority and dignity in all levels of society. He decides to fight against this egalitarianism that wants to destroy hierarchical relationships in society. The weapons to be employed in this particular battle are simple: He takes up the good practice of using titles in his relationships with others. He also teaches his children to call adults by their courtesy or professional titles and surnames (Mrs. Jones, Dr. Smith, Fr. Riley). (continued on page 4)

4 (continued from page 3) Should friends, family or clergy invite his children to address them by their first names, they are instructed how to politely refuse. That is, not to argue or become belligerent with the adult, but simply to quietly affirm that this is a family custom. Even if a teacher or coach has a first-name policy, a youth should use the proper title. A parent should teach his child to not be afraid to be different when being different means doing the right thing. The Catholic counter-revolutionary is not egalitarian. He does not condone nor make compromises with this leveling spirit. He loves and supports all legitimate manifestations of veneration and respect for superiority that are the proper legacy of Christian Civilization. Thus he is the protector of every legitimate sign of honor, distinction and respect that exists on the face of this earth. Let s start this New Year off right! Love and prayers, Fr Horgan, Pastor We are very pleased to announce that St. Lucy Catholic Church will be partnering with Lifetouch to create a Pictorial Directory of the Parish.

8 Diocese of Palm Beach Office of THE BISHOP Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ: January 5, 2019 Our Catholic schools, founded by parish churches, dioceses and numerous religious orders to serve generations of Catholics, exist as a treasure of the Church in America. The Catholic School system is the largest private school system in the United States and around the world the Church operates the largest nongovernmental school system. The week of January 27 February 2 we will celebrate National Catholic Schools Week to recognize the great accomplishments of our Catholic School system. The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2019 is Catholic Schools: Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed. The Church is most grateful to all the religious men and women and lay teachers who have given so generously of themselves to education generations of Catholic students in mind, body and spirit. On the weekend of January 12 and 13 the Diocese of Palm Beach will have a second collection to support the mission of our Catholic schools. Last year, through your generosity, we were able to raise $145,600 to provide tuition assistance to those in need. We ask you to once again join us in giving the gift of faith to a student wishing to attend a Catholic school in the Diocese of Palm Beach. Thank you very much for your faithful support, your prayers and your gifts to help the students at our Catholic schools in the Diocese of Palm Beach.
