🙏🏽 FREE EXORCISE


PIA LEGASPI: Stop the lies and misrepresentation. Those statues were put there not to be worshipped but to showcase the culture of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon. There is a sense of racism or cultural superiority here, European culture looking down on the Amazonian dismissing it outright as pagan and demonic. Have the mindset of the Apostle Paul who spread the faith far and wide by pioneering church inculturation in the name of Christ and through the Holy Spirit in embracing, not condemning, other cultures and their elements and Christianized them. In church history, especially of the missions, we have lost China because during the 17th and 18th centuries the backward looking Dominicans and Franciscans sabotaged the forward looking Jesuits who inculturated the Gospel by embracing elements of Chinese culture, in that case, the matter of the rite of honoring ancestors. The Jesuits were for allowing this ancestral rite for Catholics as they saw this merely as cultural, social and civic in nature whereas the Dominicans and Franciscans deemed it religious, pagan and demonic. Theological nuances and intercultural sensitivity played vital roles here which the Dominicans and Franciscans did not have and could not see. They lobbied the Pope successfully who stopped the practice and in the process alienated the Chinese and setback missionary efforts for centuries. That papal directive was only reversed in the early 20th century but the damage has been done and today Catholicism is still viewed in China as heavily Euro-centric and foreign. In this drama connected with the Pan-Amazonian synod, it is imperative that we be aware of theological nuances and be sensitive, not judgmental, of other cultures all to further the cause of the spread of the Gospel in our times and to glorify God. Let's employ theology and prayer not ideology and racism. Let us call on the newly canonized saint who elaborated profoundly on the nature of the development of doctrine: St. John Henry Newman, pray for us.

Robert E. Morey of Saint Anthony Catholic Church: Sadly, this past Sunday, I had to refuse Holy Communion to former Vice President Joe Biden. Holy Communion signifies we are one with God, each other and the Church. Our actions should reflect that. Any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching. I will keep Mr. Biden in my prayers.
RAYMOND LEO BURKE: In the case of a politician or other public figure who acts against the moral law in a grave matter and yet presents himself to receive Holy Communion, the priest should admonish the person in question and then, if he or she persists in approaching to receive Holy Communion, the priest should refuse to give the Body of Christ to the person.

AMANDA BORSCHEL~DAN: Much like the ancient Israelites, the Edomite people settled and resettled in the Holy Land during various periods of history. Their kingdom was destroyed by the Babylonians around the 6th century BCE. By the Persian era they resettled in the southern hills of Judea. By the Hellenistic period they were called Idumeans by the Greeks following the conquest of Alexander the Great. They eventually assimilated and became Jews.

AVIVA AND SHMUEL BAR~AM: Resin from the spices was so highly valued that in 26 BCE, Roman emperor Augustus tried to capture South Arabia and wrest control of the spices from its rulers. To that end, he sent an army of 10,000 soldiers, 500 Jews drafted by King Herod, and a thousand Nabateans ~ locals who served as middlemen in the spice trade ~ to help in the conquest. The fact that Judean soldiers accompanied the Roman army into South Arabia is the first indication we have of Jews in Yemen.
