A Bishop Speaks Out

USA

Bishop Samuel Aquila of Fargo, North Dakota, has insisted that politicians who support legal abortion should be denied Holy Communion. The bishop stated this in a powerful keynote address to a symposium on priestly ministry. He said: “The continual reception of Holy Communion by those who so visibly contradict and promote a grave evil, even more than simply dissent, creates grave scandal, undermines the teaching and governing authority of the Church, and can be interpreted by the faithful as indifference to the teaching of Christ and the Church on the part of those who have the responsibility to govern”. Bishop Aquila added: “If Church leaders had been forthright in confronting dissent after the release of Humanae Vitae in 1968, he said, the Catholic world might have been spared the current support among self-identified Catholics for abortion, homosexuality, and euthanasia.”

Rumors About Maynooth

Ireland

The Irish Catholic reported that an apostolic visitation had found serious problems with the quality of teaching at the seminary in Maynooth. The visitation was conducted by archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York. According to “The Irish Catholic’ Dolan will recommend to the Vatican that the seminary in Maynooth be closed and that Irish seminarians receive their training at the Pontifical Irish College in Rome. Msgr. Hugh Connolly, the rector of St. Patrick’s, rejected the story. The seminary at Maynooth has educated Irish candidates for the priesthood for over 200 years. It has drawn frequent criticism in recent years.

Asia Bibi Has Undertaken a Rigorous Lenten Fast

Pakistan

Asia Bibi, the Pakistani woman who faces a death sentence after being convicted of violating the nation's blasphemy law, has undertaken a rigorous Lenten fast, prompting relatives to fear for her health. "During Lent I want to pray and to fast for peace and justice. I want to offer up my suffering to God to be close to Him," Asia Bibi said. A spokesman for her supporters said that he hoped doctors would be admitted to see the prisoner. Because of death threats Mrs Bibi is being held in isolation.

Temporary Victory For Supporters of Proposition 8

USA

In a temporary victory for supporters of Proposition 8 -- the 2008 California ballot measure that recognized marriage as the union of a man and a woman -- the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected a request to compel the state to resume the practice of same-sex marriage while the court deliberates on the measure’s constitutionality. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and current Gov. Jerry Brown, both of whom are Catholic, have refused to defend Proposition 8 in court. Likewise President Barack Obama’s administration is refusing to defend the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act.

What are we going to do? I feel the pains of withdrawal already. Eating fresh Cannoli may not be enough to assuage the longing to hear the news and to see your cheerful smiling faces. I suppose we can review old news stories but I'm afraid that is just not the same. One week will seem like a year when we've grown accustomed to your face.

I've grown accustomed to your face
You almost make the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune you whistle night and noon
Your smiles, your frowns, your ups, your downs

Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent and content before we met
Surely I could always be that way again and yet
I've grown accustomed to your looks, accustomed to your voice
Accustomed to your face
