We are very concerned about the proposed new translations of the Roman Missal. We believe that simply imposing them on our people -- even after a program of preparation -- will have an adverse effect on their prayer and cause serious division in our communities.

What do gang members know about making tortilla chips and salsa? And since salsa is red, what do the Crips think about selling it?
When I’ve seen interviews with Fr. Boyle my emotional response is: “Glad to see someone living Christian values. Glad to see someone helping the disadvantaged.” But it would be a mistake to stop thinking after this first, emotional, response. There are many values expressed in the Bible. It is inappropriate to selectively choose those that support a desire for some definition of a “good God”.
“To Jews I am a Jew” -- This is essentially another aspect of “love your neighbor”. If someone fails to take into account the values of a community (or subcommunity in this case,) then there is a serious problem. The problem is that God’s important values are being ignored. In practice, this means that we are expected to accept non-Christian values. The definition of “accept” requires judgment – but it does not include disregarding genuinely held values.
A priest is not a Prophet. The expectations placed on a priest are high, and that increases the expectations for sacrifice. Sacrifice of our values is expected in service of God’s real values. We must also sacrifice our own mistaken definitions of a “good God”.
Joseph:I found it interesting that the website, Jesuit News, does not list the blog that Fr. James Kubicki, S.J. writes: Offer It Up, especially when Fr. Kubickie was assigned the
renewal of the Apostleship of Prayer by Pope Benedcit. Odd...
I believe one and all must glance at it.
