Homily - Ninth Sunday after Pentecost - July 26, 2015
1 Cor. 10:6-13; Lk. 19:41-47
Our Holy Father, Pope Francis visited three countries in Latin America last week. While in Bolivia, he said, “Faith is a light which does not blind. Politics blinds.” Faith enlightens, but agendas, ideologies, blind us to the plan of God, the dignity of the human person. Pope Francis was addressing a hostile regime.

Homily - Seventh Sunday after Pentecost - July 12, 2015
Rom. 6:19-23; Mt. 7:15-21
The Gospel today had a specific application in our Lord’s day, in the apostolic Church, and in our own day. It is a perennial issue, that is, false teachers. And our Lord says something wonderfully and disarmingly simple: the inside and the outside must match. There is a sensibility about this in the society in some areas. We have laws about truth in advertising. The list of ingredients on the outside of the can need to be the same as the inside, and, if not, there are penalties. But the society rarely thinks of this in terms of other important areas, as well.

The Supreme Court and Laudato Si’
Posted by Christopher Zehnder in his blog: "Notes from the Wasteland" June 27th 2015
When I first learned of the Supreme Court’s decision striking down statutes forbidding same-sex marriage, I felt neither surprise nor dismay. No surprise, for it was just what I had expected. No dismay, for I did not expect anything other from our society, or its government. I did feel annoyed, however – for, like a vamp coming late to a party, the Supreme Court has drawn all eyes from the one who had been the belle of the ball: Pope Francis and his encyclical, Laudato Si’.

Archconfraternity of Saint Stephen
Over the past year, work has been done to develop a group of Altar Servers dedicated to
serving the Latin Mass that could go anywhere in the Archdiocese if asked. They have coordinated with Fr. Fryar and other priests to insure that Masses
have been covered, both on Sundays and Weekdays. The next steps of establishing the Archconfraternity of Saint Stephen for Altar
Servers is to extend an invitation to all servers of the
Archdiocese. This is a worldwide program used by many Traditional Communities,
including the FSSP in Sacramento:
The Guild of St Stephen is an International Organization of Altar Servers founded in England in 1904 by Father Hamilton McDonald when he formed a Society of Altar Servers at the Convent of the Sacred Heart in London. In 1905, Pope Pius X gave his approbation to the Canonical establishment of the Guild at Westminster Cathedral and in 1906, the Sacred Congregation of Rites made the Guild an Archconfraternity prima primaria enabling all the parish branches to be linked with it. The Guild spread, and in 1934, Pope Pius XI enabled all Guilds of Altar Servers throughout the British Commonwealth to be affiliated with the Archconfraternity at Westminster.
The objectives of the Guild: To encourage, positively and practically, the highest standards of serving at the Church's liturgy and so contribute to the whole community's participation in a more fruitful worship of God. To provide altar servers with a greater understanding of what they are doing so that they may serve with increasing reverence and prayerfulness and thereby be led to a deepening response to their vocation in life. To unite servers of different parishes and dioceses for their mutual support and encouragement.
The organization is an Archconfraternaty which includes a special Mass of enrollment and presentation of a medal that may be worn whenever serving. For more information, please contact Charles Coulombe at decoulombe@gmail.com

The Litmus Test

| Irene and Bill Grimm |
The following came in an email to Cal Catholic on July 1, written by Anita Zepeda, one of the 17 Grimm children, raised in Pasadena, most of whom graduated from Thomas Aquinas College.
I ordinarily set no store by the idea of planetary influence on our lives, but obviously the Magi did, so I will just say I would not be surprised if the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter this month did indeed have something to do with Grandpa Bill and our family Summer of Love. I have been watching these planets draw nearer and nearer through a string of lovely Southern California evenings, musing a lot about my recently deceased father and his countercultural life.
