What voting in conscience means

American political campaigns have never been for the squeamish. With the sole exceptions of George Washington’s two uncontested elections, every presidential campaign has seen its share of vulgarity, skullduggery, and personal disparagement.

Obispo Robert C. Morlino

Abre nuestros ojos, Señor

Esta columna es la comunicación del Obispo con los fieles de la diócesis de Madison. Cualquier divulgación más amplia va más allá de la intención del Obispo.

Queridos amigos:

En el Evangelio del pasado domingo escuchamos sobre Bartimeo (Mc 10:46-52). Bartimeo no era ciego de nacimiento, a diferencia del hombre en el cuarto capítulo del Evangelio según Juan. Bartimeo vio por muchos años y luego perdió la vista y por ello sabía qué era lo que no tenía. Y además de perder la vista, por su ceguera fue reducido a mendigar, y por esa razón era tratado como alguien que había perdido su dignidad humana.

En la historia del Evangelio, Bartimeo estaba sentado allí, en su miseria, y se acercó Jesús. Bartimeo no puede controlarse porque, de repente, la esperanza invade su miseria, y le grita a Jesús. Pese a que algunos quieren que Bartimeo se quede en silencio, Jesús lo llama y le pregunta: “¿Qué quieres que haga por ti?” Bartimeo, que hablaba en forma directa, respondió: “Señor, quiero ver”. Bartimeo recibe el don de ver, ¿y qué hace? No regresa a su vida antigua. Ahora con vista, inmediatamente sigue a Jesús.

De eso se trata la Nueva Evangelización durante el Año de la Fe. Mucha gente una vez vio, pero se ha vuelto ciego. El problema es que no lo saben como para decir, “quiero ver”. Pero nosotros somos los instrumentos de la esperanza de Jesucristo que los mueve a decir eso. Y tenemos un gran problema en nuestro país y en nuestra sociedad con la gente, incluyendo a muchos católicos, que simplemente no quieren ver.

From Trent to Vatican II — ongoing reform

Year of Faith column logo

While the liturgical reforms promulgated by the Second Vatican Council were unexpected by many people, the seeds of the reform actually were planted centuries earlier at the Council of Trent (1545-1563).

The Council of Trent was a monumental moment for the Church. Held in the decades following the Reformation, the council sought to define, unite, and codify many of the Church’s dogmas and practices. In terms of the liturgy, the most significant task that they accomplished was directing the pope to standardize and revise the books for the celebration of Mass.

A ‘low-brow’ who likes folk-style music

To the editor:

Since you permitted Nico Fassino to use your pages of October 12 for a Guest Column titled: “Why I hate bad Church music,” I hope you will allow me to express my opinion, honed over 87 years.

Nico expresses HIS personal opinion that: “The value of proper liturgical music has nothing to do with . . . what your personal opinions are about music.”  Is he saying “his” is more important than others? Or, does his personal opinion ALSO have nothing to do with the value of liturgical music?

Caring for the dying in a death-denying society

Seeing with Jesus' Eyes, a column by Fr. Donald Lange

Mother Teresa claimed that the greatest disease of the modern world is not leprosy or cancer. Rather it is feeling unloved and unwanted.

So she and her nuns went into India’s streets and picked up the dying and ministered to them. Though many died shortly, she wanted them to experience Christ’s love before they died.

An ‘ordinary Catholic’ who loves Church music

To the editor:

I must take vigorous issue with the guest columns by the “intellectuals” who are so overloaded with their degrees and superior intellect that they feel they must ridicule us ordinary Catholics in rather harsh words. The weight of all this arrogance has seemed to have squeezed out the humility that was exemplified by our Savior.

For those of us out in the real world, which, by the way, is the vast majority of God’s people, we are the branches of the Church. Jesus said, “I am the Vine and you are the branches.” He did not say, “I only want to hear you praise Me with 100-voice choirs singing Handel’s Messiah.”
