(CT Photo/E.L. Hubbard) By Eileen Connelly, OSU The Catholic Telegraph During a Mass that was both reverent and joyous, two men who have completed their studies at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary were ordained to the priesthood at the Cathedral of St. Peter in Chains on April 18. Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr ordained Father Jerome Bishop from St. Teresa Parish in Springfield, and Father James Romanello from Holy Trinity Parish in Norwood. Concelebrating the Mass were Auxiliary Bishop Joseph R. Binzer, Bishop Emeritus of Marquette James H. Garland, Father Benedict O’Cinnsealaigh, seminary rector, and priest faculty of Mount St. Mary’s Seminary. Family members, friends and well wishers filled the cathedral for the occasion. The Rite of Ordination took place after the Gospel reading as the candidates for the priesthood were called forward to express their readiness to be ordained. Father O’Cinnsealaigh presented the candidates to Archbishop Schnurr and testified to their worthiness. The archbishop then announced his consent to ordain the candidates and led the congregation in a round of applause. As he began his homily, Archbishop Schnurr spoke of the “undeniable sense of joy and accomplishment that colors today’s ceremonies. We ...

Card. Dolan ‘would not suggest’ pro-abort Gov. Cuomo not a Catholic ‘in good standing’: archdiocese

Fri, 17 May 2013 18:34:00 GMT

Source: acatholicview.blogspot.com --- Friday, May 17, 2013
Since the Cardinal is unwilling to address the issue, allow me to clarify CINO Cuomo's standing as a Catholic: From the catechism: 2272 Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. "A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae," "by the very commission of the offense," and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society. After New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan appeared to suggest during a radio interview this week that he may not view pro-abortion Governor Andrew Cuomo as a Catholic “in good standing,” the Archdiocese has issued a statement saying that this is not the case, and that Dolan's remark was misunderstood. “Cardinal Dolan would not, and did not, suggest the governor might not be a Catholic in good standing going forward,” archdiocesan spokesman Joseph Zwilling said in a statement originally sent to the New York Times, and forwarded to LifeSiteNews. Dolan made the remark during a discussion about Gov. Cuomo’s intention to propose a law to make abortion less regulated and more accessible. Cuomo announced the initiative during his State of ...

Number of parishes in Wellington Archdiocese to be reduced

In the Archdiocese of Wellington, New Zealand, Archbishop John Dew has drawn up a plan - A Future Full Of Hope - to reduce the number of parishes in the Archdiocese. The plan, based on an extensive two-year review, was recently presented to parish priests, parish leaders and school principals at meetings held at Viard College in Porirua and in Nelson. These meetings are part of a process of consultation in which Dew is inviting parish communities to discuss and reflect on the proposals and provide him with constructive ideas and feedback. Under the proposal, two or more parishes in each pastoral area would combine to create a completely new parish, with one shared council and finance committee. The administration would be set up in one building, with most existing churches retained as 'mass centres', Archbishop Dew said. Source Stuff.co.nz ...
