3 Religious Freedom Week and Independence Day Sunday, July 1, 2018 Dear parishioners, On Friday we celebrated the last day of Religious Freedom Week, and on Wednesday we celebrate the Fourth of July Independence Day. This weekend, right the in the middle, makes me wonder how we experience or think about the words freedom, independence, liberty. For some, the terms are used to justify just about anything, as I remember from my childhood. This is a free country! some people would shout, doing something frightening, or breaking the law, or hurling racist slurs at people nearby. For some, the notion of freedom means I am free to do what I please, even if it scares other people (e.g., skateboarding on the church steps in the Haight Asbury as people are arriving for Sunday Mass), endangers those nearby (as we see when people use their iphones to send text messages, check , or dial for calls while behind the wheel), or insults and intimidates a category of people (such as the woman this week who berated a man and his mother doing yard work, because they were speaking Spanish: she decided to call them rapists and drug dealers simply due to the language in which they were communicating). As Catholic Christians, we are constantly reminded that freedom is always linked to responsibility, liberty means the ability to carry out our mission as disciples of Jesus, and that independence does NOT mean we are independent from God and his commandments but rather independent from oppressive forces (Satan, Fascism, Communism) which would destroy our communion with God and God s people. In 2018, we witness various attacks on freedom, many of them on people of faith that strike us as bizarre. There are countries which tell Christians they cannot wear a cross, Jews they may not wear a kippah, and Muslim women they are not allowed to wear a burkini while bathing in the ocean (even though going topless would be okay). We see countries which used to be beacons of Catholic identity now telling Catholic hospitals that they must perform abortions against unborn children; others instruct priests that they must break the seal of the confessional. At least one country may soon outlaw male circumcision, which puts Jewish families in a huge dilemma: how can a government prohibit parents from following their religious traditions that go far back to the commandments God gave them? Another country is promoting the abortion of all children in the womb found to have Down Syndrome, and our own country still has countless abortions carried out each year, and people in prison put to death, both types of killing criticized by Pope Francis, Pope Benedict, Pope Saint John Paul II, and countless other Catholic leaders in the present and recent past. God did not make death, nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living. (Wisdom 1:13, from today s Mass readings.) We even just heard from the former President of Ireland that babies should not be baptized because it violates their human rights as if being welcomed into the Church were like being thrown into a workhouse. No one wants children to be abused, but baptizing a Catholic child, or circumcising a Jewish baby boy, is part of our religious heritage that touches upon identity itself: the welcoming of precious children into a family and into a family of faith. Parents want their children to be loved, raised in the faith, and taught how to treasure and promote freedom in ways that are sensible and just. Children deserve protection, health care, food, shelter, love, and the ability to live their religious faith free from persecution and derision. As we journey this weekend in between Religious Freedom Week, and Independence Day, let us strive to stand up for our own freedoms, and also for the righteous liberty of those around us. Father Brown
