Fr. Porter's Tome Offers Insight into Ecclesiology
Polluted Skies, Blue Stars and Ketchup Sandwiches When I was first ordained in 1957 and assigned to Saint Cecilia Parish in Kearny, one of our duties as priests was to go out on First Friday Communion calls. We might have between 30 and 40 stops in those days where we would visit shut-ins, hear their confessions and give them Holy Communion. One of my calls was a dear, elderly, very refined woman whose name was Gladys Durant. She was the sister of a very famous historian named Will Durant. He had attended Seton Hall, but later in life he left the faith. Every single time I went to her modest rented flat, Gladys would comment on the world situation. She always used the exact same words: "Isn't it awful, Father? Isn't it awful?" Gladys had a lot of time to read all of the bad news in the newspaper.
Remembering Faithful Integrity of Cardinal Gantin The death of Cardinal Bernardin Gantin of Benin this past May 13 marked the passing of one of Catholicism's noblemen. Born in what was then the French colony of Dahomey in 1922, a mere 40 years after the first Catholic missionaries had arrived in that West African land, Bernardin Gantin was ordained a priest in 1951, consecrated auxiliary bishop of Cotonou in 1956, and named archbishop of Cotonou in 1960. After participating in all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council, Archbishop Gantin was brought to Rome by Pope Paul VI to work at the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples (known to all Roman hands by its former name, "Propaganda Fidei," or "Prop" for short). He then became president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and was created cardinal in June 1977.

Newark Introduces New Auxiliary Bishop Msgr. Cruz Expresses Thanks for His 'Cuban Refugee' Journey
Pope Benedict XVI has named Rev. Msgr. Manuel A. Cruz, 54-a priest who has spent his life in service in both parish and in medical and pastoral care ministry- as a new auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Newark. Archbishop John J. Myers made the announcement during a June 9 press conference at the Archdiocesan Center.
A Year to Examine Life of Saint Paul NEWARK-The Archdiocese of Newark will inaugurate its observance of the "Year of Saint Paul" with a special noon Mass to be celebrated by Archbishop John J. Myers on Sunday, June 29, at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart. The worldwide celebration, proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI last year, will run from June 28 to June 29, 2009. Pope Benedict announced the Church's Pauline year marking the 2,000th anniversary of the saint's birth last June on the eve of the feast of Saint Paul and Saint Peter. The pontiff said the celebration year, to be marked by liturgies and special events in Rome, also should be celebrated in dioceses throughout the world.
North American Church leaders have issued calls for the faithful to study the life and missionary spirit of Saint Paul during the next 12 months (see The Catholic Advocate, May 7). Father C. Anthony Ziccardi, executive director of mission and ministry and a professor at Immaculate Conception Seminary on the South Orange campus of Seton Hall University, said most of the information on...
Roselle Students Prepare for Journey 'Down Under' Reporters Murray, Friedman Plan to 'Blog' All About It
ROSELLE - Among the thousands of young people attending World Youth Day in Sydney, Australia (July 15-20), 11 students from Roselle Catholic High School will be part of a contingent representing the Archdiocese of Newark at the international event.
The group from the Marist Brothers-led Union County high school-15 in total including chaperones-has many activities to look forward to as they head "down under" from July 6-20. Prior to World Youth Day, a Marist International Youth Festival will be held at a Marist high school in Sydney, gathering together over 700 students from the order's schools worldwide.
Commission Focuses on Spiritual Outreach for Men
'Insider's Wiew' Describes Corridors of Healthcare I write this from my room at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center. No, don't panic! I'm not there as you are reading this. Actually, it's been well over a month. But as one gets better (fortunately in my case a flare up of a chronic condition that was easily enough addressed), one looks for things to do to pass the time. After being in bed for a day and a half connected to an IV line, the newfound freedom of walking the halls, albeit gingerly at first, is a welcome relief. Even more exhilarating was the discovery of an upright piano in the visitor's lounge. While I didn't remember too many complete songs by heart, due to lack of practice, it was still good to produce snippets of songs and think back to when I first learned them.
Contemplating Original Sin and the Human Condition Readings: Jeremiah 20:10-13; Psalm 69:8-17, 33-35; Romans 5:12-15; Matthew 10:26-33. In ancient times people in various cultures listened to stories that dramatized these challenges, providing answers to the questions. Thus the first chapter of Genesis celebrates the creation of the universe in a beautiful hymn, which designates human beings as collaborators with God. But if we have such an exalted origin and destiny, how could we fail so miserably?
As in ages past, people today should pause to struggle with the riddles of human existence. Perhaps some refuse to think deeply, never allowing a moment of silence during their waking hours, never stopping from a frenzy of activities. Yet the questions cannot be avoided: "What is the meaning and purpose of life? What is upright behavior, and what is sinful? How can we find genuine happiness? What happens at death?" (See Vatican Council II, Nostra Aetate No. 1).

Pontiff's Words Echo at Yankee Stadium; Go Forward in Faith
NEW YORK-When the sun suddenly broke through the clouds last Sunday afternoon, Greg Tobin knew it was going to be an extraordinary day.
A Call for 'Courage in Faith' Resonates at Rally in Yonkers YONKERS, NY-"Take Courage! Fix your gaze to our saints," cried Pope Benedict XVI as he addressed the crowd of 22,000 young Catholics and seminarians from across the nation at Saint Joseph Seminary on April 19. Large, colorful banners of yellow and violet were hung on the stage of the field where thousands gathered, including over 2,000 seminarians, on the field of the 40-acre seminary. The crowd was given flags in the papal colors of white and gold, which were emphatically waved as the Holy Father arrived on stage. Pope Benedict, during his address, stressed the idea of courage in faith to the young people at the rally. "You are Christ's disciples today," he said. "Shine His light upon this great city and beyond."
Winter Retreat Warms Hearts, Enlightens Students
For most college students, doing manual labor in rural West Virginia-compared with reclining on a sunny beach in Florida-would not be high on a top-10 list of "favorite things to do" during winter break. However, a dedicated group of Caldwell College students discovered that working at Nazareth Farm in Salem, WV, proved to be an invaluable, spiritual experience-one that turned out to be far more meaningful than beach time.

Papal Travelers Follow Trail Blazed by St. Peter Twelve sailors rowed the pontiff past Spanish, French, and British warships with their yards manned. As the papal party drew near a majestic frigate, cannons roared a 21-gun salute and the papal flag was hoisted to the top of the mainmast.
On Aug. 1, 1849, a hot sun baked the harbor of the city of Gaeta, near Naples in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. As noon approached, Pope Pius IX, dressed in white cassock and wide red Roman hat, stepped into an ornate barge and comfortably settled under a large canopy protecting him from the sun.
Assessing Three-Year Journey of Pope Benedict XVI
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the dean of the College of Cardinals, was elected pope on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 in the shortest conclave in modern history. He succeeded Pope John Paul II who was the second-longest serving pope in recorded history: nearly 27 years. (Blessed Pius IX occupied the Chair of St. Peter for nearly 32 years, from 1846 to 1878.) He was reportedly elected on the fourth ballot with 84 of the 115 votes.
Shrine to Host Key Theological Moment of Pope's U.S. Tour But, in addition to what will interest news media from around the world, other moments in the pope's visit will hold even greater importance for some of us here in the United States.
There will be several important moments during Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the United States. No doubt the event that will attract the most media attention from around the world will be Benedict XVI's address to a session of the United Nations' General Assembly. The next-most important news event will occur when Pope Benedict visits with President George W. Bush in the White House.

The Spiritual Union of One Man, One Woman NEWARK-When the people of the Archdiocese of Newark join with others from around the world on the weekend of Feb. 16 and 17 to celebrate World Marriage Day, they will be doing much more than honoring the lifelong commitment of husband and wife and the openness to life. They will be taking a stand, along with hundreds of thousands of people of all faiths across the state, to defend the definition of marriage as a union of one man and one woman at a time when the very meaning of marriage itself is being challenged by a society more focused on individual satisfaction than on God's plan for married couples as seen in the Old Testament and the Gospel. They also will continue to recognize that while traditional marriages may not always be perfect, they are by far the best setting for a child to grow and learn while excercising his or her natural right to know, love and be loved by his or her natural parents.
Priest Aims to Build Cultural Connections

Sharing Hope, Extending Hands and Hearts for Lent Through this intense time of prayerful introspection, we gain insights-not only about ourselves, but about the Lord who created us, loves us, and, as we remember solemnly each Good Friday, died so we might have eternal life.
The season of Lent is upon us today. It is a time of conversion and of self-reflection. It is a period of time in which we are called to search within ourselves, to hold up the light of God's truth to those dark places that exist within us, that we might be illuminated by the light of mercy the Lord provides in Himself.
