4 July 5, th Ordinary Sunday Page Four Statement by Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, Kentucky, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in regards of the U.S. Supreme Court decision, June 26, interpre ng the U.S. Cons tu on to require all states to license and recognize same-sex marriage. Regardless of what a narrow majority of the Supreme Court may declare at this moment in history, the nature of the human person and marriage remains unchanged and unchangeable. Just as Roe v. Wade did not se le the ques on of abor on over forty years ago, Obergefell v. Hodges does not se le the ques on of marriage today. Neither decision is rooted in the truth, and as a result, both will eventually fail. Today the Court is wrong again. It is profoundly immoral and unjust for the government to declare that two people of the same sex can cons tute a marriage. The unique meaning of marriage as the union of one man and one woman is inscribed in our bodies as male and female. The protec on of this meaning is a cri cal dimension of the integral ecology that Pope Francis has called us to promote. Manda ng marriage redefini on across the country is a tragic error that harms the common good and most vulnerable among us, especially children. The law has a duty to support every child s basic right to be raised, where possible, by his or her married mother and father in a stable home. Jesus Christ, with great love, taught unambiguously that from the beginning marriage is the lifelong union of one man and one woman. As Catholic bishops, we follow our Lord and will con nue to teach and to act according to this truth. I encourage Catholics to move forward with faith, hope, and love: faith in the unchanging truth about marriage, rooted in the immutable nature of the human person and confirmed by divine revela on; hope that these truths will once again prevail in our society, not only by their logic, but by their great beauty and manifest service to the common good; and love for all our neighbors, even those who hate us or would punish us for our faith and moral convic ons. Lastly, I call upon all people of good will to join us in proclaiming the goodness, truth, and beauty of marriage as rightly understood for millennia, and I ask all in posi ons of power and authority to respect the God-given freedom to seek, live by, and bear witness to the truth. STATEMENT OF ARCHBISHOP BLASE J. CUPICH ARCHBISHOP OF CHICAGO June 28, 2015 This week the Supreme Court of the United States issued two rulings with par cular meaning for the Catholic Church. In the first, the Court preserved subsidies for the 6.4 million low-income Americans who depend on them to purchase health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. We have issues with provisions of that legisla on and will con nue to advocate to preserve our religious freedom. However, we understand that for millions of individuals and families, most of them the working poor, this decision preserves access to health care and the promise it offers of a healthier, longer life. In the second decision, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that two persons of the same sex have a cons tu onal right to marry each other. In doing so, the Court has re-defined civil marriage. The proposed reason for the ruling is the protec on of equal rights for all ci zens, including those who iden fy themselves as gay. The rapid social changes signaled by the Court ruling call us to mature and serene reflec ons as we move forward together. In that process, the Catholic Church will stand ready to offer a wisdom rooted in faith and a wide range of human experience. It is important to note that the Catholic Church has an abiding concern for the dignity of gay persons. In fact, the Catechism of the Catholic Church says: They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensi vity. Every sign of unjust discrimina on in their regard should be avoided. (n. 2358). This respect must be real, not rhetorical, and ever reflec ve of the Church s commitment to accompanying all people. For this reason, the Church must extend support to all families, no ma er their circumstances, recognizing that we are all rela ves, journeying through life under the careful watch of a loving God. It is also important to stress that the Supreme Court s redefini on of civil marriage has no bearing on the Catholic Sacrament of Matrimony, in which the marriage of man and woman is a sign of the union of Christ and the Church. In upholding our tradi onal concept of marriage, we are called to support those who have entered into this sacred and loving bond with God and each other. This will be especially important for the members of our own Church as we walk together, respec ul not only of the poli cal demands of equality, but above all else, guided by the higher claims of divine revela on. Our aim in all of this will be to hold fast to an authen c understanding of marriage which has been wri en in the human heart, consolidated in history, and confirmed by the Word of God.

5 Page Five 14th Ordinary Sunday July 5, 2015 WELCOME TO OUR FAITH COMMUNITY! Once again, we welcome Fr. Pawel Adamus to our parish. Father Pawel brings with him energy and enthusiasm and we very much look forward to growing spiritually under his guidance. We are glad to have you as a part of our Church. Please help him to get to know our parish community by introducing yourself to him. Fr. Pawel Adamus was an altar server and part of a church youth group in his home parish in Siedlce, Poland, he said, and both were factors leading him to consider whether he had a voca- on to the priesthood. I was very ac ve in terms of par cipa ng in various youth events like World Youth Day, Lednica youth mee ngs, etc., he said. Observing priests in ac on I was amazed seeing how they lead people, especially young people, as a spiritual guides, and watching how they celebrate sacraments. Their witness mo vated me to imitate them.

9 Page Nine 14th Ordinary Sunday July 5, 2015 WYROK SĄDU NAJWYŻSZEGO O LEGALIZACJI MAŁŻEŃSTW HOMOSEKSUALNYCH Sąd Najwyższy Stanów Zjednoczonych zawyrokował, iż zakaz homo-małżeństw stosowany przez konserwatywne stany jest niezgodny z konstytucją. W praktyce oznacza to otwartą drogę do ostatecznej prawnej legalizacji związków jednopłciowych we wszystkich pięćdziesięciu stanach. Amerykańskie homo-lobby określiło decyzję sądu jako zwycięstwo miłości. Liberalne media w Stanach Zjednoczonych świętują tryumf z powodu historycznego momentu, jakim jest zrównanie małżeństwa ze związkami homoseksualistów. Mediom amerykańskim wtórują liberalne media w Polsce. Moment jest historyczny: nie będzie bowiem powrotu do zakazu zawierania małżeństw jednopłciowych, a Stany Zjednoczone stają się największym na świecie państwem (i 22. w kolejności), w którym będzie obowiązywać równość małżeńska czytamy w portalu Polityki. Te entuzjastyczne komentarze odnoszą się do decyzji Sądu Najwyższego stwierdzającego, iż zakaz homo-małżeństw stanowi złamanie 14 poprawki do Konstytucji Stanów Zjednoczonych. Z nie mniejszym entuzjazmem na decyzję zareagował liberalny prezydent Stanów Zjednoczonych Barack Obama. Dzisiejszy dzień to duży krok w naszym marszu ku równości. Gejowskie i lesbijskie pary mają teraz prawo do małżeństwa, tak jak wszyscy inni napisał szef Białego Domu na swoim Twi erze, okraszając wpis tagiem #LoveWins (miłość zwycięża) wraz z serduszkiem w kolorach tęczy LGBT. Biskupi USA: wyrok Sądu Najwyższego o homoślubach tragiczny Wprawdzie prezydent Obama nazwał tę decyzję wielkim krokiem w marszu ku równości i zwycięstwem Ameryki w walce o uznanie praw cywilnych. Jednak biskupi USA dostrzegają w niej, przeciwnie, tragiczny błąd uderzający w dobro wspólne i najsłabszych, którymi są dziećmi. Tak Konferencja Episkopatu Stanów Zjednoczonych skomentowała wyrok Sądu Najwyższego uznający zakaz homoślubów za niekonstytucyjny. Decyzją tą zostały tym samym zalegalizowane gejowskie śluby we wszystkich 50 stanach. Według wyroku, orzeczonego większością 5 głosów przeciwko 4, z konstytucyjnych gwarancji uczciwego procesu i równej ochrony prawnej wynika, że poszczególne stany nie mogą zakazywać małżeństw osób tej samej płci. O soby rozwiedzione i żyjące w nowych cywilnych związkach nie mogą przystępować do Komunii Świętej, a związki homoseksualne są sprzeczne z prawem Boskim i naturalnym - poprośmy Ojca Świętego Franciszka, by kategorycznie potwierdził katolickie nauczanie w tych sprawach. Dołącz do naszej synowskiej prośby kierowanej do Papieża Franciszka poprzez wypełnienie formularza na stronie: Twój podpis pod listem zostanie dostarczony Ojcu Świętemu do Watykanu wraz z tysiącami innych! Już ponad 280 tysięcy wiernych podpisało się pod synowską prośbą do Ojca Świętego Franciszka. Sygnatariusze wśród nich koronowane głowy, arystokraci i wybitni uczeni proszą papieża o wypowiedź, która ucięłaby spekulacje narastające po ostatnim synodzie biskupów. Wobec zbliżającej się kolejnej sesji Synodu ds. Rodziny, która ma się odbyć w październiku 2015 roku, z synowskim oddaniem zwracamy się do Waszej Świątobliwości, by wyrazić zarówno nasze obawy, jak i nadzieje dotyczące przyszłości rodziny. Nasze obawy wynikają z doświadczeń całych dekad rewolucji seksualnej, promowanej przez sojusz potężnych organizacji, sił politycznych oraz mediów, które ustawicznie działają przeciwko samej istocie małżeństwa jako podstawowej komórki społecznej. Począwszy od tzw. Rewolucji roku 1968, doświadczamy stopniowego narzucania praw i zwyczajów moralnych przeciwnych w tym względzie zarówno prawu naturalnemu, jak i Bożemu" piszą autorzy synowskiej prośby do papieża Franciszka.

13 July 5, th Ordinary Sunday Page Thirteen Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: It might have been. John Greenleaf Whi er. The passage comes near the end of his poem Maud Muller about a peasant girl who meets a judge from the local town one day when she is out working in the fields and he is passing by on horseback. The actual encounter occurs when he asks her for a drink of water and she fills her cup for him from a nearby stream. Secretly, she falls for him in the moment ( Maud Muller looked and sighed: Ah me!/ That I the Judge s bride might be ). Secretly, he falls for her at the same me ( Would she were mine, and I to-day/ Like her, a harvester of hay ). The thoughts go unspoken, though. He marries in me a rich woman enamored of fashion. Maud Muller marries in me a poor farmer, but through the years Maud Muller and the Judge both recall that day in the fields, and wonder how things may have played out differently, se ng up Whi er s sad, ponderous conclusion. We find such a conclusion in today s Gospel as well. Here, Jesus has just returned to Nazareth a er performing a series of miracles--cleansing lepers, curing Simon s mother-in-law, restoring a paraly c and a man with a withered hand to full health, calming the storms at sea, bringing Jairus s deceased twelve year old daughter back to life--throughout the surrounding area. But the locals do not receive him well. When he preaches in the synagogue, they respond, Where did this man get all this? What kind of wisdom has been given him?

Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com) St. Ferdinand Parish his hands? Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary They actually take offence at him, and in response to their skep cism, Jesus replies, A prophet is not without honor except in his na ve place and among his own kin Accordingly per the Gospel, he was not able to perform any mighty deed there, se ng up another sad, ponderous conclusion: He was amazed at their lack of faith. It s a funny thing, faith. We all say we have it, but do we? Really? Jesus himself tells us, If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. I haven t moved any mountains lately; how about you? Joel Osteen tells the story of a church pastor who, when he brings the flock together to pray for desperately needed rain, asks people of the congrega on to bring ar cles of faith to the rally in demonstra on of their belief. Most people bring crosses and prayer books and bibles, and when the rain finally comes, these people raise their bibles and such. One li le girl s ar cle of faith far outshines the rest, though. She brings an umbrella. Cute. And deeply ponderous in its own way. But from a joyful/hopeful perspec ve. Perhaps Maud Muller and the Judge let fear and unbelief doom them to lives of what-might-have-been. We all know fear and unbelief. I m dealing with some right now, in fact. But Osteen says it s all pre y simple: if you re going to pray for rain, bring your umbrella. Got faith? C mon. Let s go move some mountains.
