Archbishop Chaput of Philadelphia
Speaks to CNA in Rome in an Interview:
Credit: Joaquin Piero Perez/CNA
Is it possible to be pro-life and at the same time not to be pro-poor? Do
you think that the social message of Pope Francis, in accordance with
the entire tradition of the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church
(expressed for example in Pius XI’s encyclical Quadragesimo anno, in
which Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) spoke about the “international
imperialism of the money”), needs to be assimilated further in the North
American Church?
Archbishop Chaput -“I've said many times over many years that if we
ignore the poor, we will go to hell: literally. We ignore the needs of the
poor at the cost of our own souls. Unless it's checked by a vigorous
religious faith, North American culture very easily becomes
destructively selfish and hyper-materialistic. This is a paradox, because
the American people are also, at the same time, very generous. They’re
routinely listed as world leaders in surveys of individual generosity, both
in terms of time and money donated to charitable causes. A great many
American Catholics support Pope Francis’ message on the issue of
poverty. When he highlights the suffering of the poor, the Holy Father
ministers not just to the practical needs of people in material poverty,
but to the moral needs of people in spiritual poverty. So ...more directly:
No, it isn't possible to be prolife and simultaneously forget the cries of
the poor. But I would add one more thought: Evangelium Vitae - "the
Gospel of Life" - is every bit as much a social encyclical as
Quadragesimo Anno. Defending the unborn child is a vital part of the
social doctrine of the Church. And the social doctrine of the Church is
incomplete without actively working to defend the unborn child legally
and to support women and families materially. The unborn child is also
part of the poor, and often the poorest and most exploited of the poor.
In the United States in 2011 more than 1 million children were aborted.
In the same time frame, about 3,000 people died of malnutrition. Each
of these deaths is a tragedy that demands our attention, and we all
have the duty to look beyond our own national borders to the needs of
social justice globally. But in the U.S. Catholic context, more than 300
times more deaths occur every year from abortion than from hunger.
That’s why abortion and other “sanctity of life” issues remain so highly
charged in my country.”
How is it possible to announce today, in a secularized society, the
Gospel of the family? And how is it possible to respond to the needs
and suffering of families broken by a separation or a divorce?
Archbishop Chaput -“Nothing is stronger than personal witness. If we
live our faith as Christian families with generosity and joy, it will
naturally attract others. If we don't, no amount of beautiful words or
harsh judgments will substitute for that witness. Today's crisis of the
family, and all the problems that go with it, shouldn't surprise anyone. In
large measure, we created the tragedy ourselves by a combination of
poor catechesis of engaged and married couples and by our own poor
example of married and family life. The Church needs to do a much
better job of evangelizing men and women called to marriage and
helping them live out their vocation joyfully. Where divorce does occur,
we need to help divorced persons continue on the Christian path,
reminding them that God’s love for them endures even in the face of
loneliness or abandonment. And we especially need to support the
children of divorce, who often end up literally on the margins, caught
between the respective lives of their separated parents.” Sept. 2014

April Maintenance Fund
2nd Collection
For the month of April, we will once again
focus our Maintenance Fund Collection towards the repair of the hot water system in
the church. Upon my arrival, no hot water
was available for the restrooms, Sacristy, or
baptismal font. The church has not had hot water in these areas
for eight (8) years. These repairs were made in February at a cost
of $14,273.09. As well, new tile has been laid near the front and
back doors of the Family Life Center. And as you can see, a new
sidewalk has been installed. As promised, handrails that lead up
to the Family Life Center front and back entrances have been installed. We have also added handrails to the sidewalks that run
alongside the Family Life Center, and leading up to the Preschool
entrance. The total cost for handrails was $6,660.00, for a total of
$20,933.09 — Our March collection raised only $6,277.01. Our
May appeal will focus on repairs to our parking lot and the removal
of some islands in an effort to facilitate better traffic flow. More
details to come. Thank you for your generosity!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. Wayne Wilkerson

From the Diary of St. Faustina
Divine Mercy Sunday is April 12th
We conclude our Novena with an Hour of Mercy,
at 3:00pm today, Divine Mercy Sunday,
in the Old Parish Hall.
Jesus said to St. Faustina, “at three o’clock implore My Mercy, especially for
poor sinners; and if only for a moment, immerse yourself in My Passion,
particularly in My Abandonment at the moment of agony. I will allow you to
enter into My Mortal Sorrow. In that hour I will refuse nothing to the soul that
makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion.”

CHAPTER FOUR
I. Communal and Societal Repercussions of the Kerygma
The Kingdom and Its Challenge
181. The kingdom, already present and growing in our midst, engages us at
every level of our being. Evangelization must take account of the unceasing
interplay of the Gospel and of man’s concrete life, both personal and social.
This is the principle of universality. The Father desires the salvation of every
man and woman “gathering up all things in Christ, things in heaven and on
earth.” (Eph 1:10) Our mandate is to “go into all the world and proclaim the
good news to the whole of creation.” (Mk 16:15) Here, “the creation” refers to
every aspect of human life. The mission of proclaiming the good news of
Jesus Christ has a universal destination. Nothing human can be alien to it.
True Christian hope that seeks the eschatological kingdom always generates
history.
182. The Church cannot help but be concrete – without presuming to enter
into details – lest the great social principles remain mere generalities. There
is a need to draw practical conclusions in order to have greater impact on the
complexities of current situations. The Church’s pastors have the right to
offer opinions on all that affects people’s lives. The task of evangelization
demands the integral promotion of each human being. It is not possible that
religion be restricted to the private sphere; that it exists only to prepare souls
for heaven. God wants his children to be happy in this world too, even
though they are called to fulfillment in eternity. God has created all things “for
our enjoyment.” (1 Tim 6:17), the enjoyment of everyone. Christian
conversion demands reviewing surely the areas of life related to the social
order and the pursuit of the common good.
183. No one can demand that religion be relegated to the inner sanctum of
person life, without influence on societal and national life. To silence them,
who would lock up in a church the messages of Saint Francis of Assisi or
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta? They themselves would not have found this
acceptable. An authentic faith always involves a desire to change the world,
to transmit values, to leave this earth better than the way it was found it. We
love this magnificent planet on which God has put us. We love the human
family that dwells here, with all its tragedies and struggles. The earth is our
common home. We are all brothers and sisters. The Church cannot and
must not remain on the sidelines in the fight for justice. All Christians are
called to be concerned with building a better world. The Church’s social
thought is primarily positive. It constantly points to the hope born of the
loving heart of Jesus Christ. It unites its own commitment to that of other
churches and ecclesial communities whether at the level of doctrinal
reflection or at the practical level.
Please Note: Evangelii Gaudium is available through local Catholic
bookstores or on the web at EWTN or the Vatican.
