Don’t forget!

Daylight Savings me begins on Sunday March 11th at 2:00 am.

Move your clocks ahead one hour.

I, the Lord, am your God… You shall not have other gods besides me.

—Exodus 20:2a, 3

Over the past couple of weeks, I have seen statements by at least two Cardinals of the Church regarding what they called a “paradigm shi ” in the Church’s teaching. Some of these shi s are about sacramental and moral issues. For instance, there is the use of language which is vague, at best, and allows for interpreta ons of the basic teachings of the Church which are contrary to anything the Church actually teaches. We are seeing this in the presenta on that what Jesus and the Church teach about marriage is merely an ideal. However, since we live in the real world, ideals are just lo y goals which we do not expect anyone to reach, so we will forget the ideal and operate from a far lower “norm” which is what most people live.

Once this “ideal” language is used, then we can claim that marriage is not permanent, we can allow for remarriage without an annulment, we can say people in a state which is objec vely contrary to what the Church teaches can go to Holy Communion. This has opened the door to yet another paradigm shi in the minds of these people saying that since marriage is only an ideal, then the concept of marriage being the union of a male and a female is only an ideal. For this reason, the Bishops in Germany have suggested that some homosexual unions can be blessed by the Church.

The same Bishop’s Conference from Germany also noted that if it is permissible to give Communion to people in an invalid marriage, then it could be permissible to give Communion to a non-Catholic spouse. A er all, the necessity to be in union with the Church and in the State of Grace are only ideals that we can never expect to be fulfilled by the average person. Maybe a Saint could achieve these ideals, but they are out of the reach of most people.

This kind of reasoning is now being used to suggest that contracep on is acceptable. In fact, one priest who teaches Moral Theology in Rome said in a recent talk that in some cases contracep on is not only acceptable, but obligatory. In other words, it would be a sin not to contracept! I find it interes ng that virtue is an apparently una ainable ideal, but vice is perfectly acceptable. This “paradigm shi ” is nothing other than turning the unchangeable teaching of the Church upside down, not only allowing devia ons from the truth, but presen ng the polar opposite of the truth.

There is no paradigm shi in the Church nor can there be now or ever. All the Church’s teachings are interwoven in such a way that if you remove one piece of truth, the en re structure collapses. It all began with the vague sugges on that in some cases people who are divorced and remarried outside the Church can receive Communion. Once the sanc ty and indissolubility of marriage was found ques onable, the door has opened to all the ancillary areas to be ques oned. Since other doctrines are based on these ancillary teaches, each of those will be called into ques on as well.

Since it all topples, albeit slowly, while one doctrine at a me is removed, we should just cut to the chase. Rather than arguing about this or that doctrine and whether or not we can find a way to get around the “ideal,” let’s just look at the founda on of it all because if the founda on is cracked, the structure will fall, but if the founda on is solid, the structure remains firm. While it may take a while before the unfolding process gets to the founda on, it is the inevitable end point. So, I will just go there and save the me and agony of ge ng there one doctrine at a me.

Since it all began with the vagueness of language regarding marriage, we will begin there. If marriage is not a permanent union between a man and a woman, then what Jesus teaches in Scripture is wrong. One could say He was only presen ng an ideal, but that is certainly not the way Ma hew and Mark present things in their Gospels. So, if we do not believe what Jesus teaches about marriage, then we are saying Jesus was wrong. If He was wrong, then He is not God. If what the Scriptures say is wrong, then they are clearly not divinely inspired. If what the Church teaches about marriage, mortal sin, and the Eucharist is wrong, then why should we believe anything else the Church teaches? Jesus founded one Church as we read in Ma hew 16. But if Jesus is not God, the Scriptures are not divinely inspired, and the Church is not the pillar and bulwark of truth, as St. Paul tells Timothy, then why would we believe any of her teachings?

Saint of the Day Saint of the Day – Saint Casimir

Casimir was born on October 3, 1458, the third of thirteen children of Casimir IV, King of Poland, and Elizabeth of Hungary. When he was only fourteen, Casimir was sent by his father to lead an army into Hungary at the request of the Hungarian nobles and against Ma hias Corvinus, the king of Hungary. When Casimir got there, he found out that the nobles who had requested Polish help were abandoning him, King Ma hias had assembled a large number of troops, and his own troops were deser ng. He took the advice of his officers and retreated. His father was not happy about this and punished him by confining him to a castle for three months. Casimir could never again be persuaded to engage in military ac on. He also had no ambi on to be a ruler. At the same me, he wasn’t passive. He took many ac ons on behalf of the poor, oppressed, pilgrims and cap ves. He brought to his father’s a en on any injus ce or needs of the poor that he thought had been overlooked. He experienced great sa sfac on in giving away everything he had to the needy, who called him “Defender of the Poor.” Much of his day was spent in church, par cipa ng in Mass and the Divine Office. Some mes he was so caught up in prayer that he would miss meals. At night, he would return to the church to worship outside its locked doors. Casimir was friendly with everyone, but took a firm stand against schisma c Chris ans. He convinced his father to not assist in the restora on of their churches. Casimir also had a great love for Our Lady. At his wish, he was buried with a copy of the hymn Omni die dic Mariae (Every Day Speak of Mary). He also refused every a empt to convince him to get married, saying that he knew of no other salva on or life than Jesus Christ, and would soon be dissolved to be with Him. Sure enough, he died of tuberculosis in 1484, at the age of twenty-three. Saint Casimir, pray for us!

Con nued: This leaves us in a state where each person can have his or her own doctrine and morality. The Church’s teachings, a er all, are just ideals, so you can decide for yourself which ideals you agree with and what you think is true. This means that what Satan tempted our first parents with was actually true: you will be like God. There would be no objec ve truths. Each person has his or her own truth. Everything is rela ve and each person’s opinion is equally valid. Another word for this is anarchy.

No, the truth has not changed, there is not and never will be a paradigm shi in the Church because the Church is Jesus Christ and Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, according to St. Paul’s Le er to the Hebrews. Sacred Scripture is the divinely inspired Word of God, so it cannot change either. Thankfully there are objec ve standards that help us to know what is true so that we can conform our lives to the truth. Of course, in our humanness we sin, but that is different from not a aining an ideal. The truth is within the reach of every reasonable person. Rather than trying to change what the Church teaches so we can jus fy our sins, perhaps it is

me we stand for the truth and change our lives to conform to that truth.

Eucharis c Adora on - Subs tutes Needed contact Be y Kreuter at 763-537-1399

or Therese Juba at 763-533-8514

A subs tute for Adora on is an Adorer who is able to come and pray once or twice a month or only in the summer or only in the winter, etc. During this season of Lent maybe you want to pray more, but you are unable to commit to any one specific hour every week. You are invited to pray about having your name placed on a subs tute list with a day or par cular me you might be able to be a subs tute for an hour. Later this month this list will be compiled and distributed to all Adorers so that they may use this list as an aid to find their own subs tute when they are unable to pray in the Eucharis c Chapel during their commi ed hour. Subs tutes are very important in this ministry. Most o en people make a life-long commitment to being an Adorer. Health, family emergencies, travel, etc. some mes prohibit the Adorer from being able to come to the Chapel. That is when a subs tute is called. A subs tute may always say “No, I am not available for that hour,” on that day or night. No reason needs to be given. If you feel you are able to par cipate in this way, as a subs tute, please complete the form below and place it in the envelope on the sign-in counter outside the Eucharis c Adora on Chapel, place it in the collec on basket or turn it in to the Parish Office.
