Quote Scripture correctly on issue of homosexuality

To the editor:

Satan sometimes speaks to man by the misapplication of Scripture. We saw this happen when President Obama applied the Golden Rule to support his position on gay marriage.

Christ showed us the way to respond is to quote Scripture correctly (Luke 4). For God’s view on gay activity refer to Deuteronomy 22:5, Leviticus 18:22, 20:13. If we are to apply the Golden Rule to the sin of homosexuality, then what about bestiality, cannibalism, and pedophilia? (Leviticus 18:23, 20:15-16). I hope all would say, “ NO.”

Es de valientes seguir a Cristo como sacerdotes

Bajo el libro del evangelio por Obispo Robert C. Morlino

Esta columna está dirigida a los fieles de la Diócesis de Madison. Cualquier circulación más amplia transgrede la intención del Obispo.

El domingo pasado se llama con frecuencia “·Domingo del Buen Pastor”. La palabra que usan las Escrituras no ha sido realmente bien traducida al inglés, ya que simplemente se dice “bueno”. La palabra en realidad significa “honorable, valioso, noble” o “tan excelente en todo sentido que su bondad es en sí misma hermosa”.

Y, en particular, nuestro Evangelio del domingo (Jn 10:11-18) señala que el pastor está dispuesto a dar la vida por sus ovejas, él es honorable, valioso y noble en su valor, hasta llegar al punto de dar la vida por sus ovejas. Y hacia el final de ese pasaje del Evangelio, Jesús dice: “nadie me ha quitado la vida, entrego mi vida y la vuelvo a tener nuevamente”.

El pastor es realmente un pastor valiente. Y de esa forma, de muchas maneras mientras los años avanzan, espero que podamos llegar a llamar este día el “Domingo del Pastor Valiente”, en honor a la valentía del pastor que es una de las virtudes claves en las que se enfoca lo que nos hace llamarlo “bueno”.

Deacons to be ordained

Vince Brewer Garrett Kau

MADISON — Two new transitional deacons will be ordained for the Diocese of Madison on Friday, May 25, at 7:30 p.m. in the chapel of the Bishop O’Connor Catholic Pastoral Center in Madison.

Bishop Robert C. Morlino will ordain Vince Brewer and Garrett Kau as transitional deacons. God willing, they will be ordained to the priesthood in 2013.

Vince Brewer

Brewer is in his third year of theology studies at Blessed John XXIII National Seminary in Weston, Mass.

A native of Richland Center, Brewer served in the Navy for six years during the Iran-Iraq War. After that he attended the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, earning a bachelor’s degree in communications management.

He worked for a radio station in Dubuque, Iowa, and then worked for TDS in Madison.

The call to the priesthood came off and on during his life and emerged again after he finished a year of duty for the U.S. Central Command in Qatar.

For Greater Glory movie recommended viewing

For Greater Glory (opening Friday, June 1) is a timely historical film about the fight for religious freedom.

Set in the increasingly-secular, increasingly-socialist, and increasingly-power-hungry political atmosphere of 1920s Mexico, For Greater Glory tells the true story of anti-Catholic and anti-clerical oppression by the Mexican Government, led by President Plutarco Elías Calles.

Pentecost reminds us to use gifts of Holy Spirit received at Confirmation

Seeing with Jesus' Eyes, by Fr. Don Lange

I was confirmed in seventh grade. In religion class, I learned that in the Sacrament of Confirmation we receive the Holy Spirit who strengthens us to be Christian witnesses. I worried whether I could witness to Christ by dying for him as a martyr. I took Confirmation seriously.

The Church received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. To prepare to receive the Spirit, for nine days key followers of Jesus gathered in the Upper Room in Jerusalem. These included the apostles, together with Mary, some other women, and disciples. They were united in intense prayer.

In Acts 2:2-4, it says, “Suddenly there came from the sky, a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Tongues as of fire appeared to them, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.”

Bringing children in Baraboo and Cuba together

“Only the human person, created in the image and likeness of God, is capable of raising a hymn of praise and thanksgiving to the Creator. The earth, with all its creatures, and the entire universe call on man to be their voice.”

Pope John Paul II — Homily, San Antonio, Texas 1987

BARABOO — This year, the fourth and fifth grade students at St. Joseph School in Baraboo became that voice talked about by Pope John Paul II and so much more — through their participation in Children Are The Hope (CATH), a project that aims to connect Wisconsin children to Cuban children through environmental and cultural education.

Children Are The Hope is an organization based in Wisconsin, partnering with the Empresa Nacional para la Proteccion de la Flora y Fauna and University of Havana in Cuba, along with nearly 20 primary and elementary schools from the north-central region of Cuba and the southern half of Wisconsin.

Celestizando nuestra libertad

Bajo el libro del evangelio por Obispo Robert C. Morlino

Esta columna está dirigida a los fieles de la Diócesis de Madison. Cualquier circulación más amplia transgrede la intención del Obispo.

Queridos amigos:

El domingo pasado celebramos la Fiesta de la Ascensión cuando, nos dice el Evangelio, Jesús tomó su lugar a la derecha del Padre. Tomó su lugar como el Eterno y Sumo Sacerdote. Esto significa algo muy poderoso y muy real para nosotros hoy en día, porque Jesús asciende y convierte en el Eterno y Sumo Sacerdote que lleva a la creación en la Eterna y Divina Liturgia de adoración de Dios Padre, en comunión con el Espíritu Santo.

En nuestro Evangelio de la Ascensión, escuchamos a Jesús que les dice claramente a los 11 Apóstoles que quedan, lo que significa su partida para ellos. Les dice que van a recibir un poder de lo alto, refiriéndose al Espíritu Santo (y el domingo que viene celebramos la venida del Espíritu Santo en Pentecostés). Jesús les dice a los 11 que van a recibir el Espíritu Santo de lo alto, con el poder, el poder de “manejar serpientes”.

Conocemos, claro está, la imagen de la serpiente por las Escrituras, incluso desde el mismo comienzo –la antigua serpiente que hizo caer a Adán y Eva– y así sabemos que los Apóstoles de Jesús recibieron el poder para “manejar”, en efecto, las fuerzas del mal. Y aún estamos llamados a hacer esto, especialmente cuando se necesita en el rito del Exorcismo. Pero de manera general, incluso hasta nuestros días estamos llamados a manejar esas serpientes mortales, los demonios que buscan arruinar las vidas de las personas para ser testigos en la cultura de muerte
