Dear friends,

The last few weeks, we have been horrified by the release of videos, secretly taken at Planned Parenthood offices, revealing what we have always preached, protested and marched for assault against the sacredness and dignity of human

life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. How did we get this horrific place as depicted in the gruesome videos? I am reprinting an article written by Bishop-elect Robert Barron, entitled, The Death of God and the Loss of Human Dignity

“I am sure by now that many of you have seen the appalling hidden-camera videos of two Planned Parenthood physicians bantering cheerfully with interlocutors posing as prospective buyers of the body parts of aborted infants. While they slurp wine in elegant restaurants, the good doctors — both women — blandly talk about what price they would expect for providing valuable inner organs, and how the skillful abortionists of Planned Parenthood know just how to murder babies so as not to damage the goods. One of the doctors specified that the abortion providers employ “less crunchy” methods when they know that the organs of a baby are going to be harvested for sale. Mind you, the “crunchiness” she’s talking about is a reference to the skull-crushing and dismemberment by knife and suction typically employed in abortions. For me, the most bone-chilling moment was when one of the kindly physicians, informed that the price she was asking was too low, leered and said, “Oh good, because I’d like a Lamborghini.”

Now it is easy enough to remark and lament the moral coarseness of these women, the particularly repulsive way that they combine violence and greed. But I would like to explore a deeper issue that these videos bring to light, namely, the forgetfulness of the dignity of the human being that is on ever clearer display in our Western culture.

One has only to consider the over 58,000,000 abortions that have taken place, under full protection of the law, in our country since Roe v. Wade in 1973, or the ever more insistent push toward permitting euthanasia, even of children in some European countries, or the wanton killing going on nightly in the streets of our major cities. The figures in my home town of Chicago typically surpass those recorded in the battle grounds of the Middle East.

What makes this sort of startling violence against human beings possible, I would submit, is the attenuation of our sense of God’s existence. In the classical Western perspective, the dignity of the human person is a consequence and function of his or her status as a creature of God. Precisely because the human being is made in the image and likeness of the Creator and destined, finally, for eternal life on high with God, he is a subject of inalienable rights. I use Jefferson’s language from the Declaration of Independence on purpose here, for the great founding father knew that the absolute nature of the rights he was describing follows from their derivation from God: “they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights…” When God is removed from the picture, human rights rather rapidly evanesce, which can be seen with clarity in both ancient times and modern. For Cicero, Aristotle, and Plato, a cultural elite enjoyed rights, privileges, and dignity, while the vast majority of people were legitimately relegated to inferior status, some even to the condition of slavery.

(continued from Pastor’s message)

In the totalitarianisms of the last century — marked in every case by an aggressive dismissal of God—untold millions of human beings were treated as little more than vermin.

I realize that many philosophers and social theorists have tried to ground a sense of human dignity in some-thing other than God, but these attempts have all proven fruitless. For instance, if human worth is a function of a person’s intelligence or creativity or imagination, or her capacity to enter into friendship, then why not say that this worth disappears the moment those powers are un-derdeveloped, weakened, or eliminated altogether? Or if respect for human dignity is related to the strength of one’s feeling for another person, then who is to say that that dignity vanishes once one’s sentiments change or dry up? My suspicion is that if we interrogated people on the street and asked them why human beings should be respected, some version of this argument from senti-mentality would emerge. But again, the problem is that feelings are so ephemeral, shifting and changing like the wind. If you doubt me, read some of the accounts of the officers and soldiers in the Nazi death camps, who, after years of killing, lost all feeling for those they were mur-dering, seeing them as little more than rats or insects.

For the past two hundred years, atheists have been loud-ly asserting that the dismissal of God will lead to human liberation. I would strenuously argue precisely the con-trary. Once the human being is untethered from God, he becomes, in very short order, an object among objects, and hence susceptible to the grossest manipulation by the powerful and self-interested. In the measure that people still speak of the irreducible dignity of the indi-vidual, they are, whether they know it or not, standing upon Biblical foundations. When those foundations are shaken — as they increasingly are today — a culture of death will follow just as surely as night follows day. If there is no God, then human beings are dispensable — so why not trade the organs of infants for a nice Lam-borghini?”

Brothers and sisters, keep up the prayer and the protests because God is allowing the truth to really come out. May God bless you.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Joseph Shea

"Marriage is a covenant by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life and which is ordered by its nature to the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring", and which "has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a Sacrament between the baptized.”

Pool safety is about more than swimming Swimming is a fun way to have some fun and beat the heat during the summer. Parents should teach their children about swimming safety, including how to identify and handle uncomfortable situations. Although you may be watching closely to make sure your kids are safe in the water, don’t forget about when they’re walking around, sitting out by the pool, using the restrooms or out of sight. Teach your children what to do when they feel uncomfortable at the pool, and let them know it is okay to walk away and find a parent or trusted adult at any time.

La seguridad en la piscina implica más que saber nadir La natación es una manera divertida de combatir el calor durante el verano. Los padres deben enseñar a sus hijos sobre la seguridad acuática, incluso cómo identificar situaciones incómodas y cómo reaccionar en estos casos. Aunque usted los está vigilando atentamente para asegurar que los niños están a salvo en el agua, no se olvide de poner atención cuando los niños caminan o se sientan alrededor de la piscina, usan el baño o cuando están fuera de la vista. Enseñe a sus hijos qué hacer si se sienten incómodos en la piscina y que al cualquier momento está bien huir y buscar un adulto de confianza.

EL COMIENZO DE TODO

Todo el mundo reconoce la verdad de los buenos proverbios, y por eso perduran de generación en generación. Los rusos tienen uno sorprendentemente audaz que le pega al Evangelio de este domingo: “El pan es el comienzo de todo”.

De acuerdo a la primera lectura, puede ser que Elías sintiera que era demasiado tarde para ser pan –demasiado tarde para la vida misma. Este gran profeta estaba ya al final de sus fuerzas y de su aguante. Entonces no uno, sino dos ángeles lo visitan. Uno le ofrece comida y bebida. El otro le da unas sorprendentes instrucciones. Para Elías esta comida de los ángeles es pan para su camino. Fortalecido por este regalo celestial de comida, él sigue su camino a la montaña de Dios.

En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús se ofrece a sí mismo, no sólo como pan para el camino, sino como pan para la vida misma. Él da su carne para dar vida al mundo. “Yo soy el pan de vida” (Juan 6:48). Él es el comienzo de todo.
