Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time August 17, 2014

Matthew 15:21-28 This is one of those passages where it is essential to understand the historical context. Jesus was not leveling a terrible insult at the Canaanite woman. She was a Gentile of the region, not a member of the Jewish people. Thus, she belonged to the culture that worshipped idols and did not follow the Jewish rituals of cleanliness. Because of these practices, the Jews referred to Gentiles as “unclean dogs”. The Jews received God’s blessing because they believed in God. This woman proved that she did too; she recognized Jesus as the Messiah, calling him “Lord, Son of David!” We too live in a culture that is more and more ignorant of the true God. We are surrounded by idols of all kinds, and by practices that are hardly clean. Like the Canaanite woman, we need the courage to be countercultural. Even when secular society might mock us, may we be willing, like this humble woman of the Gospel, to profess our faith with passion and persistence.

Dear friends, Thank you for all who turned out in great numbers to the various talks we had on the previous three Sundays with Catholic Answers. Catholic Answers was very pleased as well with your partici-pation and commitment to Jesus Christ. It gave me a chance to

brag about all of you, which I do often!

Three things for the week: 1) If you liked those three talks and are craving

some more information on the Catholic faith we are hosting Catholic Answers again for a week long series of talks from Monday, August 18th to Friday August 22nd. They will be each evening starting at 6:30 pm in the church itself. These are special talks given by Catholic Apologist Hector Molina. His topics will be the following:

Monday (8/18) - The Power of the Rosary Tuesday (8/19) - The Seven Habits of Highly Evan-gelistic Catholics Wednesday (8/20) - The Case for Confession Thursday (8/21) - The Communion of Saints Friday (8/22) - The Biblical Basis for the Seven Sacraments

2) Reminder that on Saturday, August 23rd, everyone is invited to join us in the evening for a wonderful time of music, fun, and games. Rally’s will be support-ing us with hamburger meals on site to eat that even-ing. All proceeds go directly to support Santa Sophia.

3) As you saw last week, I posted the results of the daily Mass schedule questionnaire; based on those results, I am confident that it will be of great value to our parish community to change the daily Mass time from 7:45 am to 8:00 am. This change will become effective on Tuesday, September 2nd. I am grateful for those who participated, and I want to be very clear that those who are inconvenienced by this change, please know that I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience. It in no way is meant to be an expres-sion that I do not care about you or your concerns. Sometimes the decisions I have to make as a pastor inconvenience a few, but the parish will be well served by your inconvenience, if you offer it up to the

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR THE WEEK Sunday: Is 56:1,6-7/Rom 11:13-15,29-32/Mt 15:21-28 Monday: Ez 24:15-24/Mt 19:16-22 Tuesday: Ez 28:1-10/Mt 19:23-30 Wednesday: Ez 34:1-11/Mt 20:1-16 Thursday: Ez 36:23-28/Mt 22:1-14 Friday: Ez 37:1-14/Mt 22:34-40 Saturday: Ez 43:1-7ab/Mt 23:1-12 Sunday: Is 22:19-23/Rom 11:33-36/Mt 16:13-20

Lord. Please pray for me as your Pastor and for all the people who will benefit. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed and is worthwhile to your own growth in holiness and for the betterment of the parish; thank you for receiving this news well.

Have a blessed week everyone.

Real Questions by Real Parishioners:

There are many ways to go about answering this

question. The first one that pops into mind is to use an

example that I think reveals the answer quite

strikingly.

An example used often in understanding Just War, or

really as an example for evaluating moral questions,

is the horrible event of the Jewish Holocaust prior to

and during WWII. Placing this into our imagination

for a moment, we can rephrase the last part of this

question and ask, “Is it contradicting the teachings

and life of Jesus to use physical force to try and bring

the Holocaust to an end?” I would be hard pressed to

hold the position that Jesus would want us to stand

idly by while a holocaust goes on. Excluding compli-

cated circumstances that perhaps only a political his-

torian could address, the answer to the question seems

to be “No”, it doesn’t contradict the teachings and life

of Jesus to fight a just war.

Another way to approach the question is to look at

Jesus’ life and ask: Did Jesus ever result to physical

force in order to stop something that was wrong and

was he justified in doing so?

In John 2:13-22, Jesus makes a whip of cords and

starts driving people out of the temple. His reason?

Because there was something unjust going on; namely

just outside the temple people were cheating others

out of money. The devout Jew would come in to try

and offer sacrifices to God, and the priests would very

kindly provide animals for purchase (a nice gesture to

make it easier to give sacrifice to God). However,

they would overcharge for the animals, and when

people would exchange their money, they were given

unfair exchange rates and fees. Imagine next Sunday

if I started forcing everyone in the parish to bring

their own bread and wine for Mass, but it had to be a

particular kind of bread and wine, and since you

couldn’t find it, I would provide it for your purchase

before Mass. Of course, I won’t let you use American

ASK THE PASTOR

money, but special Santa Sophia money and I charge

interest, I cheat you on the exchange rate, and then I

also overcharge for the bread and the wine. This

would be an unjust situation, and I’m sure Jesus

would make another whip pretty quickly if He

stopped by one weekend.

This is the basic principle of Just War Theory: that

there are some situations that are so unjust that phys-

ical force can be used in order to correct the injus-

tice. The Church then has, under the guidance of the

Spirit and with the wisdom of saints and theologians,

articulated specific conditions where a “Just War”

can occur. These can be found in detail in the Cate-

chism of the Catholic Church paragraphs 2302 to

2330. There are four primary conditions of when

there can be legitimate defense by military force:

1) The damage inflicted by the aggressor on the na-

tion or community of nations must be lasting,

grave, and certain.

2) All other means of putting an end to it must have

been shown to be impractical or ineffective.

3) There must be serious prospects of success.

4) The use of arms must not produce evils and dis-

orders graver than the evil to be eliminated.

Of course on top of these conditions for beginning

armed military defense is the just conduct a nation

must have in war, which includes all the moral teach-

ings of the church, but in particular that “non-

combatants, wounded soldiers, and prisoners must be

respected and treated humanely” (CCC 2313).

Further, it should be mentioned that the responsibil-

ity of discerning the moral legitimacy for a just war

belongs to those who have responsibility for the

common good in leadership. Soldiers who fight in

conflict are not held accountable for the decision of

superiors, but rather must carry out their duty honor-

(Continued on page 7)

The Catholic Church says we can fight in just wars (with a long list of conditions to decide whether a war is just or not). This seems to me to contradict the teachings and life of Jesus. Can you explain or reconcile this?

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU

Our Common Ground Collaborative outreach ministry is looking for willing parishioners to perform two im-portant roles: #1 - A computer gifted individual who can help organ-ize our communication, both among our members and outbound. Four hours a month would likely be all that's needed. #2 - Coordinator for our school music program- bring-ing 'live' music performances to students at our Com-mon Ground served school. You don't have to carry a tune, just be able to juggle dates with both school ad-ministrators and music providers. This person is pick-ing up with the second year of an existing program. If you can help with either one of these needs - or would just like to learn more about them - please contact Den-nis Regan at: (619) 670-8487 or dennis@mainstreetus.com.

SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY The pantry volunteers have a Monday morning fresh produce give away. Every Monday, beginning at 9:00 am, fresh pro-duce is available to anyone, as long as it lasts. The St. Vincent de Paul Society had 344 families (1329 people) visit last month. Please remember that many of these families rely on subsidized school lunch pro-grams to feed their kids during the week, and that is not available during the summer months. Giving to the Santa Sophia food pantry directly helps those chil-dren in our community. If you'd like to make an actual food donation, Top Ramen and macaroni and cheese products are especially needed at this time.
