Pope asks cardinals to study Church reform

By Hada Messia and Laura Smith-Spark, CNN

Rome (CNN) – Pope Francis has appointed a group of eight cardinals from around the world to look into ways of reforming the Catholic Church, the Vatican said Saturday.

The group, which includes U.S. Cardinal Sean O’Malley from Boston, will examine ways to revise the Vatican constitution, Pastor Bonus, which sets the rules for running the Roman Curia, or church hierarchy.

The cardinals – who come from North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia and Europe – will first meet in October, the Vatican said.

The move follows on from suggestions made during the General Congregations, a series of meetings that brought together all the cardinals last month before they elected Francis as pope, the Vatican said.

Windsor couple’s ‘blessed’ brew

“Our family is very blessed; my husband was blessed in the situation here he didn’t get hurt worse,” she said, “and we felt St. Florian, the patron saint of firefighters, was watching over him, and so: St. Florian’s Brewery.”

The couple also pledged to give at least 5 percent of their proceeds to community causes, including fire-related charities.

“My whole goal in putting together the business plan, I wanted to do something philanthropic,” she said. The firefighter connection “gave us the outlet.”

The couple opened their new brewery in January in Windsor. Their first brew, an India pale ale, has so far met with a warm reception, said Matt Fenn, co-owner of Beercraft in Rohnert Park.

The beer is fresh and well-balanced, he said, and customers seem to like the firefighter angle.

“People like a good story behind everything they buy, and beer is no exception,” he said. “They like to support that.”

St. Florian was an officer in the Roman army in the third century. He was executed for being a Christian, first by being set on fire and then by drowning, according to various Catholic sources.

Firefighters adopted him as their patron, and the St. Florian’s Cross, also known as the Maltese Cross, is a commonly used symbol in fire departments worldwide. A small version of the cross is the centerpiece of the brewery’s logo.

Aron Levin, 37, began brewing about 20 years ago, helping his cousins in their homebrewing hobby. He stuck with it, becoming a proficient and well-equipped amateur. The Levins’ home is packed with equipment and beer left over from his experiments on the recipes.

“I didn’t want to turn a hobby into a job,” he admitted as he was hand-filling kegs from a towering steel tank last week. “I could decide to do this when I wanted to do it at home, but here I have a schedule to keep.”

But his wife had other ideas. After about four years at home raising their two young sons, the former high-tech sales and marketing executive was eager to get back to work.

Her husband’s talent as a brewer offered an enticing possibility.

Over the years, she said, friends who claimed to like wine better than beer kept coming back for a second glass of Aron’s creations.

“After that happened I don’t know how many times, I turned to my husband and said ‘You’ve got something magical going on. This isn’t just a fluke, it’s happened too many times; let’s do something with it,’” she said.

Aron Levin, who maintains his full-time job as a captain in the Windsor Fire Protection District, says he resisted for a few months but finally gave in to his wife’s infectious enthusiasm.

“Now my job is her job,” he said with a laugh. “She went back to work and I went to work twice as hard. But it’s all good. It’s family time; we get to spend more time together.”

The couple won’t say how much the new brewery cost, other than “a lot.” It was funded by a combination of their savings and a Small Business Administration loan.

The brewery, in an industrial park off Highway 101, isn’t large, just an office and a small two-story production bay lined with a series of tall steel tanks, where barley and other grains are steeped in hot water to create a sweet, sticky liquid that is boiled and fed to the yeast that creates the finished beer.

The couple expect to produce about 1,500 barrels per year, or about 46,500 gallons. That’s enough to fill more 20,000 cases of standard 12-ounce bottles, although the beer will be sold on draft from kegs at taverns and at retail in several sizes of bottles.

As impressive as that may sound, the figure places them near the small end of America’s booming craft brew market, which produced more than 13 million barrels in 2012, according to the Brewers Association, accounting for about 15 percent of all beer sold in the United States that year.

Small is just fine with Aron Levin too.“I don’t want to be the big brewery,” he said. “If it goes there it goes there, but if it goes there, it goes on it’s own. It’s not a direction we’re forcing it to go

“How can we keep up with market demand is what we’re really looking at.”

At this point, distribution is done personally by Amy Levin, 39, who delivers kegs and bottles as far away as Santa Cruz.

Because the business is so new, and there is so much to do, she said, the couple has not settled on what philanthropic causes they will focus on in fulfilling their 5 percent pledge. So far they have concentrated on donating beer and time to charity events, such as the annual Ales for Autism Black and White Beer Ball in February.

That kind of public spiritedness earned the couple notice from North Bay Brewery Tours, which on Saturday added St. Florian’s to its beer expeditions.

“It’s a family operation, and we also love the fact that they give back to the community,” said Ron Holt, co-founder of the Rohnert Park tour company. “They embody the ideals you want to see in a craftsman.”

The couple’s flagship brew, the only one available on the market for the moment, is unusual by West Coast standards. Where most IPAs from the region tend to be bright yellow, bitter and extremely hoppy, such as Bear Republic’s Racer 5 or any of Russian River’s line of IPAs, the St. Florian’s brew tends towards the more subdued, darker, malty style of an English IPA, often favored in a hopped-up form by East Coast brewers.

“It’s just a recipe that I had developed around my personal tastes,” Aron Levin said. “I am not a fan of the real piney hops; I like more of a citrus, fruit-backed kind of hop and that’s the direction I went with it.”

Next up for release this spring will be a malty brown ale and a California common, the generic name for the traditional West Coast lager style made famous by Anchor Brewing’s Steam Beer.

Aron Levin is developing a recipe as well for a Belgian-style IPA, a popular new subset of IPAs, brewed with the flavorful specialty yeasts that make Belgian beers distinctive.

Although they have no plans to step up to the size of craft brewing powerhouses such as Bear Republic, the good initial response has the couple hoping to expand somewhat, and they are in negotiation for some additional equipment. They may eventually open a small tasting room as well, but they don’t want to grow too far or too fast.

“Right now we’re just looking at Northern California,” Amy Levin said. “We don’t want to get too big, oversell ourselves. We don’t want to disappoint anyone. We’re all about customer service and taking it one step at a time.”

Coverage of Catholic conclave was disgraceful

Habemus Papam — We have a pope. White smoke rose from the chimney in the Vatican and the world celebrates the selection of Francis I as the 266th pope.


As a telecommunications student with a background in news, this is a great time to reflect on the secular media’s coverage of the resignation of His Holiness Benedict XVI, Pope Emeritus from the Papal Office and the Miss-America-esque coverage of the conclave that started Tuesday and concluded Wednesday.

Perhaps my fascination is magnified by a fierce devotion to my Catholic faith, but mainstream media’s reporting is enough to draw anyone’s attention.

The gossipy nature of the reporting encourages a malicious attitude toward Catholicism. I’m almost afraid of reports about the Vatican for fear of yelling, “you’re doing it wrong!” There is a lack of knowledge and an evident unwillingness to learn.

One of my favorite statements is the Church is “at a turning point” or “is struggling to hold on.” The resignation was seen as a crisis. They ask what made Benedict XVI unfit to be the pope. Did scandal push him to resign? Will there be a struggle between Pope Francis I and the Pope Emeritus?

Scandal seems to be the media’s favorite discussion when it comes to the Church. After all, no pope has resigned from office in the past 600 years. Clearly, this throws up a red flag.

Keep in mind, he’s 85 years old. The average world-wide lifespan is around 70, and 600 years ago it was about 45. Give the old man a break. Nowhere in the job description does it require lifetime service. Pope Benedict showed incredible humility in his actions. The rest of us could learn from him.

The media also suggests this resignation is an opportunity for the Church to catch up with current secular trends, like artificial contraception, homosexual marriage and women in the priesthood.

Sorry folks, but that isn’t going to happen anytime soon. Call the Church “ancient,” but these dogmas will never change because it’s the responsibility of the Church to uphold the teachings of God; the Church cannot change teachings outside its authority to change.

Aside from wild speculations and obvious spin, some media outlets simply neglect to report accurately.

An international newswire inaccurately reported the number of members in the College of Cardinals, despite the Vatican releasing a report days earlier with the number of members. An Ohio newspaper even referred to the College of Cardinals as the electoral body, but the cardinal-electors (the members eligible to vote) do that.

Most media outlets treated the conclave like a televised pageant or reality show.

Which Cardinal has the best chance of winning? Is he too old? What’s his track record? Could the drawn-out process be a sign of a lack of unity among Cardinals? Did Cardinal Dolan of New York even stand a chance?

The conclave is guided by the Holy Spirit; it’s not a popularity contest, and not an elaborate spectacle or source of entertainment. Sequestered from the world, the cardinal-electors prayed and followed long-standing traditions to discern the next shepherd of God’s people. I think they did a pretty good job.

Unfortunately, I see no quick end to the marginalization of Catholicism in mainstream media, but I have some recommendations for students who seek the truth, and not just truths about the Catholic Church. College is a time to learn critical thinking. Do your research, fact-check and be certain your sources are credible.

If you want to know what 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide believe, turn to Catholic sources.

EWTN is the Catholic cable station, WNOC 89.7FM is our local Catholic radio station and Catholic.com is a great website.

Father Michael Dandurand, pastor of St. Thomas More, is an incredibly valuable resource, too.

Whether you agree with the Catholic faith or not, this incorrect reporting is disrespectful of the Church started by Jesus Christ nearly 2,000 years ago. Let’s show some props and give Catholics (and the Holy Spirit) credit for keeping this tradition strong.

I’m looking forward to the continued growth and strength of the Catholic Church under the guidance of our Holy Father.

Conclave: The App

Just wanted to let folks know about a neat little app that Logos Bible Software has just released to help Catholics (and others) learn about the upcoming conclave.

The app is FREE and is available both for iOS (iPhone/Pod/Pad) and Android.

They really rushed to get it out so that we’d have it in time for the conclave, and I know people at Logos who spent long nights getting it ready.

It’s got some really cool features and material (including some by yours truly) and ways to stay in touch with important Catholic information sources, like the National Catholic Register and Catholic Answers.

Here’s a description of the app:

Tartaglia: Scandal a blow to our moral authority

Archbishop Tartaglia told worshippers at the city’s St Andrew’s Cathedral: “Many reproaches have been aimed at the Church and at individuals over this matter. The most stinging charge which has been levelled against us in this matter is hypocrisy, and for obvious reasons I think there is little doubt that the credibility and moral authority of the Catholic Church in Scotland has been dealt a serious blow, and we will need to come to terms with that.”

On Sunday, Cardinal O’Brien made the dramatic admission of sexual conduct following complaints of “inappropriate behaviour” from priests dating back to the 1980s, apologised and asked for forgiveness.

Archbishop Tartaglia, who was appointed to the caretaker role at the St Andrew’s and Edinburgh Archdiocese following Cardinal O’Brien’s forced resignation when the story broke last week, said it would take a long time to “recover these intangible but important realities”.

Catholic sources have said the extremely rare move of removing the Red Mitre from Cardinal O’Brien could restore confidence to the shell-shocked church in Scotland, with a new cardinal seen as a clean slate and a fresh start.

It is claimed it would also show to the outside world the church acting decisively on internal problems.

Despite standing down from his role as Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh and stating this week that he would play no further role in the public life of the Church in Scotland, as it stands Cardinal O’Brien remains cardinal until he dies and officially the most senior Catholic cleric in Britain.

Unless stripped of that role, he will retain voting rights until he is 80.

Sources also revealed Cardinal O’Brien came clean so he could “get it all off his chest” and had wanted to make the statement earlier.

Despite claims the cardinal is in hiding in an overseas property belonging to Sir Tom Farmer, the Kwik Fit millionaire and Papal Knight insists he does not know of his whereabouts.

At last night’s scheduled mass, the archbishop added: “As for the Church’s mission in our country, yes, our credibility and moral authority have been undermined. It will take time, perhaps a long time, to recover these intangible but important realities. But we cannot be defeatist. The answer to this sad episode is not to throw in the towel.”

Hugh McLoughlin, a writer and commentator on Catholic affairs, said: “The only real question now is will Cardinal O’Brien resign or will he have his role of cardinal removed. It’s an extremely unusual thing to be done and can’t be until the new pope is in place. Although he’s said he will take no more part in public life, he remains for ever and with conclave voting rights until he’s 80.

“If he is resigned, that could leave the door open for Philip Tartaglia.”

One Catholic Church source said: “The Vatican could look at what’s happening here and say that Scotland has made a right mess of things and won’t be getting another Red Hat. Or it might take the view that the church has been reduced to a quivering wreck and needs a Red Hat to prop it up.

“It’s not outwith the realms of possibility that he [O'Brien] could be stripped of the role of cardinal.”

Another source said: “What people are missing here is that he’s still cardinal. He’s only resigned as archbishop. Pushing him out means the Vatican doesn’t have to wait until O’Brien’s 80 or he dies before appointing a replacement.”

Cardinal O’Brien would be only the fourth churchman in 200 years to be made a former cardinal. Louis Billot of France in the 1920s was the most recent, due to his connection with extreme right-wing groups.

In the 19th century another resigned to marry so as to allow the continuation of his prominent and heirless family, while another quit to become a Jesuit.

An inquiry in Cardinal O’Brien’s conduct will be overseen by Archbishop Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, a Spanish Jesuit, Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and Archbishop Giovanni Angelo Becciu, the Substitute of the Secretariat of State.

They will report to the new pope, who will determine what action to take.

Woman builds website devoted to learning about pope election process

When Pope Benedict XVI put in his resignation more than two weeks ago, Dorian Speed decided to launch a website dedicated to explaining the pontiff election process to Catholic laypeople.

Speed, a lifelong Catholic and Web designer – who executed the re-design for the Victoria Chamber of Commerce website – went immediately to the Internet after learning Benedict was stepping down with no explanation.

But there, her Google searches about the papal conclave, a meeting of the College of Cardinals who will elect the new pope, were stifled by confusing and unreliable sources.

“When we heard about the Holy Father’s resignation, the first thing I Googled was ‘What happens at the papal conclave?’ There was an excellent article on About.com, but I was like, ‘Really? Why are there not more Catholic articles about this?’” said Speed, 38. “It’s not that anyone could have anticipated this, but there should have already been information from Catholic sources online.”

As a former Catholic high school theology and world religions teacher, Speed said she thought it was important to build a website where people could have basic questions answered about Catholicism, as well as links to reliable and academic sources about the papal election process.

“I wanted to put information out there for teachers and others to answer simple questions that people might have,” she said. “The website answers questions as basic as, ‘What is the significance of the pope’s hat,’ and ‘Why is the Vatican in Rome.’”

The website, electingthepope.net, provides information about what Catholics believe, pastoral and spiritual practices, and facts about the conclave. There’s also a link to explain common Catholic symbols and wardrobe items worn by the high bishops.

“The Catechism is online and it’s very thorough, but it’s hard to understand if you aren’t Catholic,” she said. “Wikipedia is good source for overviews, but we want people to look beyond that for other great sources. Our website helps do that.”

Speed said she desired the content on the website to be as diverse as possible. So she sought out the assistance of informed Catholic writers from across the nation, to contribute their expertise.

Many of the contributors are educators, Catholic bloggers and catechists, though none are theologians. Speed describes the writers on her site as lay experts in Catholicism.

“We’re not really answering questions on theology. It’s not for that. It’s definitely a laity, volunteer-driven effort,” Speed said. “And people can ask questions to the website and someone will write back with a response.”

Benedict XVI’s resignation was delivered Thursday, and the Vatican’s Conclave of Cardinals must begin their process of electing a pope within 15-20 days of the resignation date.

Like many Catholics around the globe, Speed said she is looking forward to the announcement of the next Bishop of Rome.

“I have no predictions, and I really have no preference. I know that whoever it is they will do a good job,” she said. “I loved Benedict XVI, even more than Pope John Paul II. I really felt like he understands what it means to be a Christian in the modern world. I’m really just excited to see who will be our next spiritual leader.”

With Easter looming, Catholic officials hope to install a new pope by March 24.

And after the election takes place, Speed said her website will continue to expand for those interested in learning more about the Catholic faith.

“One of the things I love about being Catholic is the rich heritage and symbolic language that we have passed on to the world through the patronage of the church. I would like the website to be a place where people can come learn more about that,” she said.

  • Absolution: Act by which a priest, acting as the agent of Christ, grants forgiveness of sins in the sacrament of penance.

    Bishops: The chief priest of a diocese. Bishops are responsible for the pastoral care of their dioceses. In addition, bishops have a responsibility to act in council with other bishops to guide the church.

    Cardinal: Cardinals are appointed by the pope and constitute a kind of senate of the church and aid the pope as his chief counselors.

    Doxology: The response of the people acclaiming the sovereignty of God.

    Eschatology: Doctrine concerning the last things – death, judgment, heaven and hell – and the final state of perfection of the people and the kingdom of God at the end of the world.

Pope Benedict XVI Resigning

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

CORNWALL, ON – Catholics from around the world have their attention focused on Rome these days and more particularly on this day of February 28, 2013. It is an historic day in the history of the Church, for Pope Benedict XVI will relinquish his responsibilities, renouncing his Petrine ministry because his fragile health.

We do not remain indifferent as a Church before such news. On the contrary, led by our faith, we are called to pray in thanksgiving for the many years of service rendered by the Holy Father and for his witnessing of faith and love for Christ. We continue to support him in our prayers during this time of transition. He will retire to one of the Vatican monasteries, dedicating himself to prayer and reflection in communion with us all.

I urge you to pray to the Holy Spirit so that He may enlighten and guide the cardinals who will gather in Conclave very shortly to elect the next Successor of Peter. Our prayers contribute to ensuring the choice will be of God and not of men.

We will have a better idea as to when the Conclave will start once the cardinals begin their general meetings, probably on March 4. The successor will most likely be chosen from the present cardinals, but one needs to be reminded that, in theory, any Catholic man in good standing with the Church is eligible.

Finally, in light of the heavy media coverage, I strongly recommend that everyone please take time to verify  sources of the information before accepting ”news” as fact. Here are a few reliable Catholic sources that can help you in your research:  www.zenit.org and  www.saltandlighttv.org .

 

Moderator’s Note:  Official news can also be obtained from Vatican websites:  www.news.va and www.vatican.va .

An estimated 130,000 well-wishers filled St. Peter’s Square in Wednesday’s farewell celebration for Pope Benedict XVI.  Benedict’s final day in office was scheduled as follows (all times in GMT):

  • 10am – Cardinals gather in the Vatican to bid farewell to Pope Benedict
  • 3:15pm – Pope is driven to a helipad within the Vatican
  • 4pm – Travels by helicopter to Castel Gandolfo near Rome
  • 5pm – Appears at a window overlooking the public square in Castel Gandolfo to bless a crowd
  • 7pm – Benedict officially ceases to be pope and is known henceforth as ‘pope emeritus’. Swiss guards at the entrance to Castel Gandolfo leave their posts.

This current time is referred to as sede vacante (the seat is empty.)  On Wednesday the average age of the 117 eligible cardinal-electors was just under 72 years, about five years older than the average when Pope John Paul II was elected to the papacy in 1978.  The eligible cardinals range from 53 to 79 years of age and represent 50 countries, including three from Canada and 11 from the U.S.A.

According to the Vatican Philatelic and Numismatic Office, during this period of sede vacante, four commemorative  stamps will be available.  The stamps will only be valid until the election of a new pope and are expected to have a high collector value.  Special sede vacante coins will also be minted, some of which will go into general circulation.  Unlike the stamps, the coins may not be available until April.

Catholic Studies: Primary Sources and Special Collections

There has been a strong connection between the Department of Catholic Studies and the University Libraries. In September 2012 the Dean of the University Libraries, Dr. John Buschman, and a group of library faculty met with Dr. Ines Angeli Murzaku, Chair of the Department of Catholic Studies, to discuss the possibility of publishing a list of Seton Hall University rare archival primary sources as well as making available other religious-Catholic sources in partner institution libraries to our students, faculty and the Distinguished Visiting Scholars and Scholars in Residence who will be hosted in the Department of Catholic Studies. Due to the dedicated work of our talented library faculty we are proud to present “Catholic Studies: Primary Sources and Special Collections” housed at the Msgr. William Noé Field Archives and Special Collections Center, Walsh Library. These resources are indexed in several LibGuides.

From Catholic manuscript collections to Catholic history, organizations and women religious in the Catholic Church, these LibGuides point researchers to varied collections illuminating Catholicism in the Archdiocese of Newark and throughout Catholic New Jersey. Catholic history in the 19th and 20th centuries offers many avenues of research including Church reports from parishes to the bishops which present, along with parish files, information on the development of the Archdiocese of Newark. In the 20th century an expansive photograph collection of photographer and newspaper publisher Ace Alagna, a White House Press Corps photographer and editor at The Italian Tribune for almost 30 years, details American political life and the Italian-American experience, particularly in Newark.

Papers of all of the bishops/archbishops of the Archdiocese of Newark and many of the priests of the Archdiocese and presidents of Seton Hall University can provide valuable research opportunities into the history of Catholicism in New Jersey. One of the jewels of the collections is the Salt Family Letters. Rev. William Salt (1837-1891), rector of the Seminary from 1873-1890, was a priest of the then Diocese of Newark and faculty both at Seton Hall College and the Immaculate Conception Seminary. Along with letters from Fr. Salt to his sisters relating his experience of witnessing the start of the Civil War in Arkansas, and later his experience of the North American College in Rome, the collection also details life in 19th century New Jersey and New York. The Seton-Jevons collection contains the papers of the Seton family of New York City and the Jevons family of Liverpool, England and New York City. This rare collection amplifies our understanding of the extended family of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Seton Hall University’s namesake.

Catholic organizations such as the Holy Name Societies and the Mt. Carmel Guild which provided “mental, spiritual and physical relief to those on public assistance” can be investigated along with women’s organizations such as the service groups Bayley Seton League, the National Council for Catholic Women, and papers on women religious who served in the Archdiocese. The papers of Mary Smith, a prominent figure in Catholic and volunteer works in New Jersey throughout the mid 1900s, document her work with the Catholic Women’s College Club and the Mt. Carmel Guild. Political science scholars will find informative Catholic manuscript collections of Brendan Byrne, governor of New Jersey 1974-1982; Marcus Daly, Director of the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration (ICEM) under President Eisenhower; Leonard Dreyfus, past Director of Civil Defense; former New Jersey governor Richard J. Hughes, 1968-1972; Matthew J. Rinaldo, former member of the U.S. House of Representatives and Bernard Shanley, former Republican National Committee official and adviser to President Eisenhower.

Additional links are provided to the archives and special collections of other Catholic secondary schools, colleges and universities local to Seton Hall and South Orange. These include Caldwell College, College of St. Elizabeth, Felician College, St. Benedict Preparatory School and St. Peter’s University.

The Department of Catholic Studies faculty, students, distinguished guests and scholars will find rich and rare resources in the Msgr. William Noé Field Archives and Special Collections Center, and other Catholic institutions in the immediate area.
