On this day in 1517, the priest and scholar Martin Luther approaches the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, and nails a piece of paper to it containing the 95 revolutionary opinions that would begin the Protestant Reformation.

In his theses, Luther condemned the excesses and corruption of the Roman Catholic Church, especially the papal practice of asking payment—called "indulgences"—for the forgiveness of sins. At the time, a Dominican priest named Johann Tetzel, commissioned by the Archbishop of Mainz and Pope Leo X, was in the midst of a major fundraising campaign in Germany to finance the renovation of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Though Prince Frederick III the Wise had banned the sale of indulgences in Wittenberg, many church members traveled to purchase them. When they returned, they showed the pardons they had bought to Luther, claiming they no longer had to repent for their sins...

Cardinal Dolan on Michael Sam: “Bravo ... I would have no sense of judgment on him..." - FishbowlDC

Cardinal Dolan on Michael Sam: “Bravo” - FishbowlDC:

"In a pre-recorded interview on “Meet the Press” to air this Sunday, Cardinal Dolan of New York told David Gregory that he had no judgement for gay NFL player Michael Sam."

From the interview:

DAVID GREGORY: Michael Sam, from your home state, the football player, revealed that he was gay, first in the NFL. And you saw the celebration from the President, the First Lady, and they were saying what a courageous step that was. How did you view it?

CARDINAL DOLAN: Good for him. I would have no sense of judgment on him. God bless ya. I don’t think, look, the same bible that tells us that teaches us well about the virtues of chastity and the virtue of fidelity and marriage also tells us not to judge people. So I would say, “Bravo.”

Cardinal Dolan also said that Pope Francis would probably meet with victims of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church, and that he “would be surprised if he did not.”

For the full interview, watch “Meet the Press” this Sunday.

Vatican Responds to NYT Accusations Against Pope Benedict XVI

Vatican Responds to NYT Accusations Against Pope Benedict XVI
Cardinal William Levada, a top Vatican official, issues a rare plea in response to Times coverage of how the Church handled several cases of alleged sexual abuse by priests, and what Joseph Ratzinger (who became Pope Benedict XVI) knew about the Church's response:

In an unusual move, last night the Vatican responded to several stories in the Times alleging that Joseph Ratzinger mishandled several sex abuse cases before he became Pope Benedict XVI, coverage that has thrown the international Church into turmoil.

The essay was penned by Cardinal William Levada, who succeeded the pope as head of the Vatican's doctrinal department. Levada made a plea for fairness for Pope Benedict under the headline “The New York Times and Pope Benedict XVI: how it looks to an American in the Vatican,” accusing Times religion reporter Laurie Goodstein “of anachronistic conflation” and of “rushing to a guilty verdict” against the Pope. Levada concluded:

As a full-time member of the Roman Curia, the governing structure that carries out the Holy See’s tasks, I do not have time to deal with the Times’s subsequent almost daily articles by Rachel Donadio and others, much less with Maureen Dowd’s silly parroting of Goodstein’s “disturbing report.” But about a man with and for whom I have the privilege of working, as his “successor” Prefect, a pope whose encyclicals on love and hope and economic virtue have both surprised us and made us think, whose weekly catecheses and Holy Week homilies inspire us, and yes, whose pro-active work to help the Church deal effectively with the sexual abuse of minors continues to enable us today, I ask the Times to reconsider its attack mode about Pope Benedict XVI and give the world a more balanced view of a leader it can and should count on.

The Times reacted to Levada's post in a story by Rachel Donadio in Thursday's edition.

Cardinal Levada singled out several Times reporters and columnists for criticism, focusing particularly on an article describing failed efforts by Wisconsin church officials to persuade the Vatican to defrock a priest who had abused as many as 200 deaf boys from 1950 to 1974. The pope, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, was head of the Vatican’s doctrinal office when the case was referred there, in 1996.

He said the article wrongly “attributed the failure to accomplish this dismissal to Pope Benedict, instead of diocesan decisions at the time.” On Wednesday, the archbishop of Milwaukee said the pope should not be held responsible for mistakes that were made in Wisconsin, according to The Associated Press.

....

News coverage of the abuse has clearly touched a nerve in the Vatican. As the church grapples with abuse cases that have come to light in several European countries, Benedict has come under scrutiny for how he and his subordinates handled sexual abuse allegations against priests while he served as an archbishop in Germany as well as when he was the Vatican’s top doctrinal enforcer.

Spiritual and historical pilgrimage to the Seton Shrine in Emmitsburg

Spiritual and historical pilgrimage to the Seton Shrine in Emmitsburg

December 4, 2012 update: The links to the column on ExploreCarroll.com no longer work - (*&^$##$%^%!!. When I get a chance, I will post the long version of my entire column here....

(Enlarge) EAGLE ARCHIVE

Last Sunday my family and I went on a history exploration trip to nearby Emmitsburg to visit the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.

We are fortunate in Carroll County to have so many great places to visit nearby.

This summer, instead of a big vacation, we opted to spend our time -- and money -- close to home to the benefit of our local economy.

Day trips may be as simple as exploring the history of a local town or traveling to national and international destinations -- such as the Gettysburg or Antietam Civil War battlefields, or the Eisenhower National Historic Farm, also in Gettysburg.

Other great history excursions here in Carroll include the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, Shriver Homestead, in Union Mills, the Historical Society of Carroll County, in Westminster, and the Strawbridge Shrine -- birthplace of American Methodism -- also in New Windsor.

Because Carroll has such a large Catholic population, many folks are familiar with St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, or simply Mother Seton as she is more often referred to locally.

For those who are not: Mother Seton is the first native-born U.S. citizen to be named a saint. She was canonized by Pope Paul VI on Sept. 14, 1975.

For everyone who has benefited from a Catholic school education, Mother Seton is the spiritual founder of Catholic school education in the United States,

Of course, for television trivia aficionados, the plot of the old television show starring Sally Field, "The Flying Nun," centered on a fictional nun who belonged to Mother Seton's order. The show even contained an occasional reference to Emmitsburg.
