What's it all about Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
The whole HHS deal going on here in America is not about women having access to birth control, though the media spin would have those do not dig a bit believe it so.
The best take I have read on it comes from the Testimony of Most Reverend William E. Lori Bishop of Bridgeport, On behalf of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
Before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform United States House of Representatives
On February 16, 2012.
Bishop Lori is both a bishop and the spiritual leader, Supreme Chaplain of the Knights of Columbus. He is a gentle man, a prudent and holy one as well. As a shepherd he is not above using a parable to get his point across, much like the originator of our faith, Jesus Christ. This s his concise testimony.

Bishop Lori is both a bishop and the spiritual leader, Supreme Chaplain of the Knights of Columbus. He is a gentle man, a prudent and holy one as well. As a shepherd he is not above using a parable to get his point across, much like the originator of our faith, Jesus Christ. This s his concise testimony.
For my testimony today, I would like to tell a story. Let’s call it, “The Parable of the Kosher Deli.”
Once upon a time, a new law is proposed, so that any business that serves food must serve pork. There is a narrow exception for kosher catering halls attached to synagogues, since they serve mostly members of that synagogue, but kosher delicatessens are still subject to the mandate.
The Orthodox Jewish community—whose members run kosher delis and many other restaurants and grocers besides—expresses its outrage at the new government mandate. And they are joined by others who have no problem eating pork—not just the many Jews who eat pork, but people of all faiths—because these others recognize the threat to the principle of religious liberty. They recognize as well the practical impact of the damage to that principle. They know that, if the mandate stands, they might be the next ones forced—under threat of severe government sanction—to violate their most deeply held beliefs, especially their unpopular beliefs.
Meanwhile, those who support the mandate respond, “But pork is good for you. It is, after
all, the other white meat.” Other supporters add, “So many Jews eat pork, and those who don’t should just get with the times.” Still others say, “Those Orthodox are just trying to impose their beliefs on everyone else.”
But in our hypothetical, those arguments fail in the public debate, because people widely recognize the following.
First, although people may reasonably debate whether pork is good for you,
that’s not the question posed by the nationwide pork mandate. Instead, the mandate generates the question whether people who believe—even if they believe in error—that pork is not good for you, should be forced by government to serve pork within their very own institutions. In a nation committed to religious liberty and diversity, the answer, of course, is no.
Second, the fact that some (or even most) Jews eat pork is simply irrelevant. The fact remains that some Jews do not—and they do not out of their most deeply held religious convictions. Does the fact that large majorities in society—even large majorities within the protesting religious community—reject a particular religious belief make it permissible for the government to weigh in on one side of that dispute? Does it allow government to punish that minority belief with its coercive power? In a nation committed to religious liberty and diversity, the answer, of course, is no.
Third, the charge that the Orthodox Jews are imposing their beliefs on others has it exactly backwards. Again, the question generated by a government mandate is whether the government will impose its belief that eating pork is good on objecting Orthodox Jews. Meanwhile, there is no imposition at all on the freedom of those who want to eat pork. That is, they are subject to no government interference at all in their choice to eat pork, and pork is ubiquitous and cheap, available at the overwhelming majority of restaurants and grocers. Indeed, some pork producers and retailers, and even the government itself, are so eager to promote the eating of pork, that they sometimes give pork away for free.
In this context, the question is this: can a customer come to a kosher deli, demand to be served a ham sandwich, and if refused, bring down severe government sanction on the deli. In a nation committed to religious liberty and diversity, the answer, of course, is no.
So in our hypothetical story, because the hypothetical nation is indeed committed to religious liberty and diversity, these arguments carry the day.
In response, those proposing the new law claim to hear and understand the concerns of kosher deli owners, and offer them a new “accommodation.” You are free to call yourself a kosher deli; you are free not to place ham sandwiches on your menu; you are free not to be the person to prepare the sandwich and hand it over the counter to the customer. But we will force your meat supplier to set up a kiosk on your premises, and to offer, prepare, and serve ham sandwiches to all of your customers, free of charge to them. And when you get your monthly bill from your meat supplier, it will include the cost of any of the “free” ham sandwiches that your customers may accept. And you will, of course, be required to pay that bill.
Some who supported the deli owners initially began to celebrate the fact that ham sandwiches didn’t need to be on the menu, and didn’t need to be prepared or served by the deli itself. But on closer examination, they noticed three troubling things. First, all kosher delis will still be forced to pay for the ham sandwiches. Second, many of the kosher delis’ meat suppliers, themselves, are forbidden in conscience from offering, preparing, or serving pork to anyone. Third, there are many kosher delis that are their own meat supplier, so the mandate to offer, prepare, and serve the ham sandwich still falls on them.
This story has a happy ending. The government recognized that it is absurd for someone to come into a kosher deli and demand a ham sandwich; that it is beyond absurd for that private demand to be backed with the coercive power of the state; that it is downright surreal to apply this coercive power when the customer can get the same sandwich cheaply, or even free, just a few doors down.
The question before the United States government—right now—is whether the story of our own Church institutions that serve the public, and that are threatened by the HHS mandate, will end happily too. Will our nation continue to be one committed to religious liberty and diversity? We urge, in the strongest possible terms, that the answer must be yes. We urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to answer the same way.
Thank you for your attention.

An Uplifting Story
From Godvine
Godvine is a site that presents videos and stories that are uplifting. More often than not in our lives real uplifting directly requires God, though many claim to be in charge of how and when and where they are uplifted.
Jesus wants to speak to you and to me, and so often we are too busy to listen to Him.

I Found Jesus ThereThis may not be a "true" story, but it is a story of Truth, and also of the Way and the Life. God loves each one of us so much that He sent His Son to earth to redeem us, and the Son, Jesus, has not quit on us, and never will.
"Tomorrow morning," the surgeon began, "I'll open up your heart..." "You'll find Jesus there," the boy interrupted.
The surgeon looked up, annoyed. "I'll cut your heart open," he continued, "to see how much damage has been done..." "But when you open up my heart, you'll find Jesus in there."
The surgeon looked to the parents, who sat quietly. "When I see how much damage has been done, I'll sew your heart and chest back up and I'll plan what to do next."
"But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The Bible says He lives there. The hymns all say He lives there. You'll find Him in my heart."
The surgeon had had enough. "I'll tell you what I'll find in your heart. I'll find damaged muscle, low blood supply, and weakened vessels. And I'll find out if I can make you well."
"You'll find Jesus there too. He lives there."
The surgeon left. The surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes from the surgery, "...damaged aorta, damaged pulmonary vein, widespread muscle degeneration. No hope for transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy: painkillers and bedrest. Prognosis:, " here he paused, "death within one year." He stopped the recorder, but there was more to be said. "Why?" he asked aloud. "Why did You do this? You've put him here; You've put him in this pain; and You've cursed him to an early death. Why?"
The Lord answered and said, "The boy, My lamb, was not meant for your flock for long, for he is a part of My flock, and will forever be. Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you cannot imagine. His parents will one day join him here, and they will know peace, and My flock will continue to grow."
The surgeon's tears were hot, but his anger was hotter. "You created that boy, and You created that heart. He'll be dead in months. Why?"
The Lord answered, "The boy, My lamb, shall return to My flock, for he has done his duty: I did not put My lamb with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost lamb."
The surgeon wept. The surgeon sat beside the boy's bed; the boy's parents sat across from him.
The boy awoke and whispered, "Did you cut open my heart?" "Yes," said the surgeon. "What did you find?" asked the boy. "I found Jesus there," said the surgeon.
Jesus wants to speak to you and to me, and so often we are too busy to listen to Him.

Does God Exist?
Some find it hard to believe in a God they cannot see. In this world we inhabit, we have come to such an intellectual place that if it is not within our own imaginings, or cannot be seen, touched, felt, tasted, or smelled it does not exist.
Some would even tell you that "I am God, the master of my destiny." That is a load of mallarkey, though other descriptive words more readily come to mind.
So, the world was created by this Big Bang, right? And then out of the nothingness that existed before this Big Bang, stuff started to happen randomly, right? And voila!! We have the world we live in as it is now. Believing that takes a lot of faith.
But the God who actually created this world, and everything in it speaks quietly, often in silence, where his creation speaks for him.
When you look at the video linked below called "The Life of Flowers", and see the array of colour and majesty in just a few of the flowers of our universe, as they open up to show their beauty to the world, can you really put that all down to a Big Bang?
I will put My God up against your Big Bang any day of the week?

The New Old West - Only East
Let the Zaniness Begin. Oops I Mean Continue.
As I sit here in Tucson, enjoying the winter sunshine, I come across daily reminders that I am in one of the two craziest countries in North America, which is pretty easy since there are only two. You could easily conclude that we are in some third world region where rule of law is whatever the political leader de jour says it is. I am not as close to the zaniness going on in Canada currently, only because I am 2,200 miles away, and have the buffer of the heart of America to block it out. Besides, down here nobody has ever heard of Canada (kidding - That's where they ski all year, and live in igloos).
But, you can hardly live in a conservative part of America and not have unfettered access to loons, goons, and baboons making new laws out of whatever tickles their fancy, and forgetting that the USA has the history of a beautiful and profound Declaration of Independence as its foundation, and a pretty solid Constitution, complete with many meaningful Amendments.
The First Amendment states:
The judge in a case of an attack by a Muslim man on an atheist dressed up as a Zombie Muhammad. He happened to be beside another atheist dressed as a Zombie Pope.
Judge Mark Martin is an Iraq war veteran, and a convert to the religion of peace. So, be might be a bit biased. Besides that, he does not seem to know much about American jurisprudence.
The judge declared that the plaintiff, our Zombie Muhammad atheist, was a "doofus." Well, he was correct on that one, but that was his best shot. In that article linked here, "Judge Martin stated that the First Amendment of the Constitution does not permit people to provoke other people. . . . In effect, Perce was the perpetrator of the assault, in Judge Martin's view, and Elbayomy the innocent. The Sharia law that the Muslim attacker followed trumped the First Amendment."
If the Catholics had attacked the other "doofus", the case for assault would have prevailed, since we don't have Catholic sharia law, or its equivalent, I guess.
The law is the law, except where I don't want it to be, and have enough power to make it be something else.
It does get better, so read the article.

The First Amendment states:
But, if the Commander in Chief will not respect that, as we have seen with the recent HHS mandate, how can we expect a lowly judge in Pennsylvania to do differently."Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Who is the Prisoner Here?
Father Gordon MacRae/You/Me
A prisoner is defined as:
As his blog These Stone Walls attests, the Poem, "To Althea, from Prison" by Richard Lovelace, an English poet, cavalier of the 17th century, who experienced prison himself rings true, especially in its final stanza.
In prison, he has shared his faith, in the midst of trials with those around him, living it daily, and not faltering. As a result, some have wanted to share in the peace he lives in prison, and have become lovers of the one Who loved them first.
But, some time back, he embarked on These Stone Walls, and has shared with those of us who have come in contact with this blog, what living a life of faith means in trying times.
He is maintaining a ministry in prison and outside with his written word and witness of faith. Would he be more free if he was not incarcerated, and would the good he has done for those in prison, and others falsely accused had he not been wrongfully imprisoned?
But, the main question I have to ask is: Are you and I as free as he is, even though we are are on the outside, as it were?
A number of years ago, I had a vision that has come more clear to me with the passage of time. In the vision, I was in a one room prison. There were barred windows on all four sides, and I could see beautiful green fields, and hills, with mountains in the background. A short ways off, I saw my wife, and our parish priest beckoning me to come and join them in the fields. How could I do that? I was in a prison. In a flash, the walls and bars and roof disappeared and I stood where I had been, but now there was nothing between me and them.
I was terrified. I had only known the prison of my own making that I lived in, and so to have this immense freedom was traumatic to me, at the time.
Over the ensuing years, I have come to embrace to a certain extent the freedom I have, to live life more fully, to reach out to the God who loves me, and to become more authentically who I have been created to be. But, only to a certain extent. I find that I am still caught up in prejudices and fears from time to time.
Recently, we spent considerable time with a friend, and observed how this friend operated for several days. Though lip service was paid to the desires and needs of others, this friend worked hard during our time together to get personal wishes met, through various manipulative techniques. At the end of the time we spent together, we knew nothing more of our friend than we had on first arrival. Walls protected our friend from being penetrated, and therefor truly known.
I can observe this not as a judgement of our friend, but because I have my own tricks for doing the same things myself often. So, it is not a judgement that I make, but an observation that I am very well qualified to make, as one who has and probably will in the future do many of the same things. It is in fact a grace given us to look not at our friend, but at ourselves.
Again, I ask, who among us is really free?
A prisoner is defined as:
- A person legally committed to prison as a punishment for crimes committed or while awaiting trial.
- A person captured and kept confined by an enemy, opponent, or criminal.
As his blog These Stone Walls attests, the Poem, "To Althea, from Prison" by Richard Lovelace, an English poet, cavalier of the 17th century, who experienced prison himself rings true, especially in its final stanza.
Stone walls do not a prison make,While in prison, Father Gordon has been free to speak truth to lies, love to hatred, and kindness to prejudice. He has taken his imprisonment, as horrid and wrong as it has been to be a blessing, and one that he can share with others.
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above
Enjoy such liberty.

A RAM IN THE THICKET: The Prisoner-Priest Behind These Stone Walls
Ryan MacDonald on Father Gordon MacRae
For those of you who have not followed any of my previous commentaries on priests who have been bludgeoned by their bishops in the interests of being politically correct on the issue of sexual abuse of minors by priests, you have missed the real scandal that has gone on. That scandal is the denial of the human rights we all take for granted in our North American Society, one of which is the right to a fair trial, and to justice in our court system.
A not insignificant number of Catholic clergy committed grievous sexual sins against youth. Surprisingly, the statistics of how much of this went on, and the proportion of priests involved almost mirrors the instance of sexual abuse in the rest of society. The suprise is two fold. First, that men who were and who have chosen to take on the mantle of alter christus engaged in such sinful behaviour is more shock than surprise, but surprising none the less, and ample evidence that the devil is active in our society and works hard to corrupt those whose corruption will support his agenda of destruction of God's beloved. The second surprise is that society has taken to believing, against real evidence, not just media reports, that the sexual abuse scandal was a priest and celibacy problem, and not a broader society one. Now, as we see reports surfacing, if you dig hard enough, that scout masters and teachers committed more than their fair share of abuse of the young entrusted to their care, it is no longer a driving issue, evidence once again that the devil had his filthy hand in not only the sins perpetrated against youth by Catholic clergy, but in the blowing up of the statistics and reportage that made perceptions overcome the reality.
Even worse, in my personal opinion, is the abandonment of the priests in their care by their Bishops, where such things as the Dallas Charter, which was meant to appease those who had been abused, or at least those who reported on those who had been abused, or litigated on their behalf, came into being, denying priests accused of due process, and a presumption of innocence.
In the midst of this all stands Father Gordon MacRae, a priest that I have no doubt was railroaded with false accusations first by those who claimed he abused them, and worst of all by his father in the Church, his Bishop, who denied him proper counsel, and abandoned him to a court system that was not interested in his possible innocence, but bent on sending some kind of message to somebody about something, all of which gets lost when justice is denied.
Ryan MacDonald has written much and often about Father Gordon, and his article linked below is worthy of your time reading it and digesting its content. You will find other links down and to the left of this article on my blog page, about 25 others to be more precise, about Father Gordon.
Father Gordon MacRae is a hero of the Catholic Faith. Midst persecution and abandonment by those whose duty it is to love him unconditionally, and support him in his need, he has remained a beacon of Christ's teaching to love one another. His witness from prison is stronger than the witness of any alleged "free man" that I know.
