Well, Jim, there s good news and bad news. The good news is that your mom and dad are coming to Kate s wedding after all. The bad news is that your brother is coming with them. Jim s brother was a missionary for a strict religious sect. When he had learned that Jim and Trudy were becoming Catholic he had erupted in condemnation. They had not spoken since then. Have you ever hoped someone would not come to an event you were hosting, or scheduled it when you knew the person wouldn t be available? Are there people whose presence in the seat next to you at Sunday Mass would make you uncomfortable? Today s scriptures proclaim that those people have as much right to recline at table in the kingdom of God as we do or more. They suggest that if we want the Lord to open the door for us, we must be willing to open the door to everyone. Virginia Stillwell Copyright 2012, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Q: How can I get my child to talk to me more about his faith? A: Begin by practicing listening skills whenever your child shares some important thoughts and feelings. Listen without judgment, repeat back what your child says, and do not offer advice, simply ask your child what he/she thinks they should do. Try this listening style when you and your child are alone, driving somewhere and notice the result. Often, when we stop "fixing" things for him/her and refrain from offering advice and pointing out moral lessons, children really open up. Use this communication technique when topics about religion come up, and see if your child is more open to talking about God and questions of faith.

AN OPEN RESPONSE TO AN OPEN LETTER JULY 29. 2013 On Monday, July 29, in the Chicago Tribune, a group of Catholics published an open letter addressed to me and to the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). They accused the Church of turning her back on the poor. This accusation follows a decision by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) to include support for same-sex marriage as part of their political agenda. The CCHD cannot fund groups that support this goal. Donors to the CCHD give to this anti-poverty organization with the understanding that their money will be passed on to organizations that respect the teachings of the Catholic faith. Organizations that apply for funds do so agreeing to this condition. On May 23, the ICIRR board broke faith with its member organizations when it publicly supported so called same-sex marriage. For its own political advantage, it introduced a matter extraneous to its own purpose and betrayed its own members, who were not consulted. The CCHD had no choice but to respect the unilateral decision of the ICIRR board that effectively cut off funding from groups that remain affiliated with ICIRR. Without betraying its donors or the Catholic faith, the Catholic Church s long-standing work for immigrant groups and for immigration reform remains intact. This record speaks for itself and is well known. It is carried locally by Priests for Justice for Immigrants and by Sisters and Brothers of Immigrants, in collaboration with the Archdiocesan Office for Immigrant Affairs and Immigration Education, led by Elena Segura with my complete support. It is intellectually and morally dishonest to use the witness of the Church s concern for the poor as an excuse to attack the Church s teaching on the nature of marriage. Four weeks ago, Pope Francis wrote: marriage should be a stable union of man and woman this union is born of their love, as a sign and presence of God s own love, and of the acknowledgement and acceptance of the goodness of sexual differentiation, whereby spouses can become one flesh and are enabled to give birth to a new life. In other words, when it comes to marriage and family life, men and women are not interchangeable. The whole civilized world knows that. Those who signed the open letter in the Tribune proclaimed their adherence to the Catholic faith even as they cynically called upon others to reject the Church s bishops. The Church is no one s private club; she is the Body of Christ, who tells us he is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Because the signers of the letters are Catholic, they know that in a few years, like each of us, they will stand before this same Christ to give an account of their stewardship. Jesus is merciful, but he is not stupid; he knows the difference between right and wrong. Manipulating both immigrants and the Church for political advantage is wrong. Francis Cardinal George, OMI Archbishop of Chicago
