SEXUAL
ABUSE IN SOCIAL CONTEXT: from
Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights

CLERGY AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS
It is obvious that children are much more likely
to be sexually abused by family
members and friends than by anyone else.
The
American Medical Association found in 1986 that one in four girls, and one in eight boys, are sexually
abused in or out of school before
the age of 18. Two years
later, a study included in The
Handbook on Sexual Abuse of
Children, reported that one in four girls, and one in six boys, is
sexually abused by age 18. It was reported in 1991 that 17.7 percent of males
who graduated from high school, and
82.2 percent of females, reported sexual harassment by faculty or staff during their years in school. Fully 13.5 percent said they had sexual
intercourse with their teacher.More Mail

Americans recognize that child abuse is hardly restricted to errant Catholic
clerics, but is
statisticly much more likely to effect them in their own families, neighborhoods or public schools.
Threats against anyone who believes in

The reception of holy Communion is meant to signify the recipient's complete assent to all of the Church's teachings on faith and morals and the soul's unity with those Divine teachings.
Humanae Vitae : A Generation Later
By
Janet E. Smith Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Dallas
By
preserving the whole moral law of marriage, the Church knows that she is
supporting the growth of a true civilization among men.
In
teaching that contraception is intrinsically immoral, the Church is not
imposing a disciplinary law on Catholics; she is preaching only what nature and
the gospel preach.

-THE
PRIEST: ICON OF CHRIST, ENABLER OF SANCTITY By George Weigel
By teaching the truths of Catholic faith, by sanctifying his people through the sacraments, and by governing justly that portion of God's people entrusted to his pastoral authority, the Catholic priest enables men and women to become saints to become the kind of people who can live with God forever.

Massachusetts Catholic Bishops' Joint
Statement
It is time that the leaders of VOTF tell the public, especially the
Globe,
exactly what their position is on this issue.
Will
this statement be read from the pulpits of :
The priests of integrity who celebrated the Companions Mass ?
The priests of integrity who spoke against the Sanctity of
Marriage ?
Will VOTF turn away from its support of homosexuality in
the priesthood ?

There is no question, of course, about the validity of our daily Masses. They are the same holy Sacrifice that has been offered on the altars of the Church since the day of Pentecost. The fact that it was Rome that gave it to us is sufficient guarantee of that.

Conservative Bishops, Liberal Results by James
Hitchcock 1995
Once

This endemic practice of diplomacy within the Church has yielded small results. Abuses have been tolerated not for the sake of unity but merely for the appearance of unity, which itself soon becomes an overriding concern.

The
attack is on us in many other directions and angles as well.
Upon
hearing about such things, I must confess that I am tempted to look for my
shotgun and baseball bat, much sooner that I am tempted to give any
consideration to a possible "sickness" in a perpetrator.

The
Cardinal, however, eventually laicized the parochial vicar, despite the
acquittal in court.
After thousands of pages of private
files have been, under dubious pretexts, taken from the Church and published in
order to incite mob reaction; there is not one word which proves that Cardinal
Law
intentionally
tried to hurt anyone. At most,
they prove that the Cardinal, from what is now seen to be a misguided
understanding of the nature of sexual perversion, allowed certain grave sinners
chances to
reform
which put others at risk.
On the other hand,
many of those
judging the Cardinal, have knowingly and willfully contributed to the pitiless
abortions
of thousands of defenseless babies for whom the Cardinal has faithfully
spoken
up. Editor8@FaithfulVoice.com

Catholic Politicians' Duties Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith
This Note is directed to the Bishops of the Catholic Church and, in a particular way, to Catholic politicians and all lay members of the faithful called to participate in the political life of democratic societies.
"General absolution may only be
imparted in
A General absolution is mainly indicated for situations where
there is physical impossibility to administer the Sacrament of Confession
according to the usual rules, such as, for example, at the time of an imminent
bombing attack. It is not intended to handle the case of a
psychological antipathy to normal confession.
The heart of the efficacy and validity of the sacraments lies in
the priest's "intention of doing what the Church does (intentio faciendo quod
facit Ecclesia)". This fundamental intention covers even the forgetfulness
which may occur when performing religious duties. A ceremony of general
absolution, intended to replace normal "auricular confession" would
call into doubt the very validity and sacramental value of such a substitution.
As one orthodox priest affirmed: Priests who have serious guilty
in the sexual abuse crisis as well as other mortal sins have the grave
obligation of going to confession as soon as possible, knowing that such
confessions are protected, notwithstanding any civil law, by the seal of
confession. If the peace of soul that one seeks is the Church's guarantee
of God's forgiveness, then that simply is what you must do.
Priests
will be asked to sit in the pews and not wear liturgical vestments so they can
confess sins alongside the laity.
