On March 9, Pope Benedict gave the third of what should be five addresses on the challenges to the faith in our country to visiting American bishops making their quinquennial\u00a0ad limina<\/em>\u00a0visits to Rome. In his first address on November 26, he said that he hoped these addresses would be help the U.S. prelates discern how to approach their task of leading the Church into the future, especially with regard to the \u201curgency and demands of a new evangelization.\u201d He began by trying to help the Church get its own house in order, declaring in that initial address, \u201cWe ourselves are the first to need re-evangelization.\u201d Catholics need to know the truth announced by Christ more deeply and live it more whole-heartedly if we\u2019re ever going to bring the Gospel credibly as a counter-proposal to those dominated by secularistic mindsets and lifestyles.<\/p>\n

In his second address, given on January 19, Pope Benedict turned his attention to the rapidly changing context in which the Church in the United States must proclaim the Gospel. He conveyed his alarm that the consensus about the nature of morality and the common good that was enshrined in our country\u2019s founding documents\u00a0 \u201chas eroded significantly in the face of powerful new cultural currents that are not only directly opposed to core moral teachings of the Judeo-Christian tradition, but increasingly hostile to Christianity as such.\u201d These cultural trends, he added, \u201crepresent a threat not just to Christian faith, but also to humanity itself.\u201d It is therefore imperative for the entire Catholic community in the United States \u2014 not just the bishops, but especially \u201can engaged, articulate and well-formed laity\u201d \u2014 to \u201crealize the grave threats to the Church\u2019s public moral witness presented by a radical secularism that finds increasing expression in the political and cultural spheres.\u201d You don\u2019t have to be a veteran vaticanista to recognize that he was describing the grave threats against religious freedom and conscience that are being implemented by the Obama Administration and a few like-minded radically secularist state governments.<\/p>\n

In his third address, given two weeks ago, he turned directly and forthrightly to one of the most serious issues facing the Church internally and externally: \u201cthe contemporary crisis of marriage and the family, and, more generally, of the Christian vision of human sexuality.\u201d Since, as Blessed John Paul II stated, \u201cthe future of humanity passes by way of the family,\u201d if there is chaos in the understanding and experience of love, sexuality, marriage and family, there will be \u201cgrave social problems bearing an immense human and economic cost.\u201d We\u2019ve already started to have to pay that bill now, but the price tag of those problems will continue to soar well past our astronomical national debt unless we get serious about urgently addressing their symptoms and causes. This is something, he said, that demands the Church\u2019s \u201cfull pastoral commitment,\u201d which is a nice way to say that up until now he does not think that the Church in the United States has been committed enough.<\/p>\n

He specified several areas in which the Church needs to be all hands on deck. The first is in fighting back against the \u201cpowerful political and cultural currents seeking to alter the legal definition of marriage.\u201d The Church, he said, needs to respond with a \u201creasoned defense of marriage as a natural institution consisting of a specific communion of persons, essentially rooted in the complementarity of the sexes and oriented toward procreation.\u201d This reasoned defense is something that all Catholic adults need to be trained to make \u2014 and have the courage to make in public. Defending marriage is not like explaining the doctrines of concomitance or Trinitarian perichoresis. Marriage, as the pope says, is not just any committed relationship based on adult desires and choices, but a \u201cspecific\u201d type of relationship in which \u201csexual differences cannot be dismissed as irrelevant.\u201d If we\u2019re talking about a husband-less or wife-less institution, in other words, we\u2019re talking about a relationship other than marriage.<\/p>\n

The second issue to which the Church needs to give \u201cfull pastoral commitment\u201d is to communicating \u201cin its integrity\u201d the whole truth about marriage, family, love and sexuality. The pope says that this has to begin within the Church. He candidly said that \u201cwe must acknowledge deficiencies in the catechesis of recent decades,\u201d which failed to pass on fully the Church\u2019s teachings with regard to the sacramentality of marriage, to chastity within marriage, and to the vocation of Christian spouses in society and the Church. The fullness of the Church\u2019s teaching as part of the Good News and as the truth that sets us free \u201cneeds to be restored to its proper place in preaching and catechetical instruction,\u201d he said. In far too many Catholic parishes, educational institutions, Religious Education and RCIA programs, Catholics have attested that they have never heard anything mentioned about how and why extramarital sexual relations, cohabitation before marriage, and contraception within marriage are sinful and contrary to the good of those who engage in them. Those days need to be over.<\/p>\n

Third, the pope stressed that great attention needs to be given to marriage preparation programs, especially their \u201ccatechetical component and their presentation of the social and ecclesial responsibilities entailed by Christian marriage.\u201d Marriage preparation needs to be about far more than communication skills and financial planning. The Church needs to help couples ponder in depth the meaning of their Christian vocation and mission. This is something that cannot in general occur on a weekend retreat and a couple of meetings with a priest or deacon. The Church requires priests to go to university and graduate school for eight to 10 years prior to the Sacrament of Holy Orders; it requires first Communicants and Confirmation students generally to study for two years of weekly classes. Yet for the Sacrament of Marriage, relatively little is demanded and little is given. And marriages and families are suffering and rupturing because of insufficient preparation and pastoral care.<\/p>\n

With regard to marriage preparation, Pope Benedict forthrightly raised the \u201cserious pastoral problem\u201d of the \u201cwidespread practice of cohabitation\u201d by couples prior to marriage, saying that often couples seem \u201cunaware that it is gravely sinful, not to mention damaging to the stability of society.\u201d Many couples today are choosing to cohabit without any urgency to get married. If these couples eventually determine to marry and approach the Church, priests are in a bind, obviously desiring to help the couple regularize their situation while at the same time trying to call them to conversion and to minimize the scandal that their situation causes among their family members and friends. That scandal is not limited to those who might object to cohabitation, but is much greater among those who have been so inured to the practice of living together before marriage that they\u2019re no longer scandalized at all. Pope Benedict encouraged bishops and pastors to \u201cdevelop clear pastoral and liturgical norms for the worthy celebration of matrimony that embody an unambiguous witness to the objective demands of Christian morality, while showing sensitivity and concern for young couples.\u201d While he leaves the specifics up to bishops and pastors, he is clearly saying that cohabitation can\u2019t be ignored. Guidelines need to be formulated, he said, indicating what cohabitating couples need to do in order worthily to receive the Sacrament and whether weddings of couples in such objectively scandalous situations should be celebrated differently than couples who have sought to structure their lives chastely in \u201cunambiguous witness to the objective demands of Christian morality.\u201d<\/p>\n

That leads to the last issue Pope Benedict raised: the \u201curgent need for the entire Christian community to recover an appreciation for the virtue of chastity.\u201d He noted that the \u201cpermissive ideologies exalted in some quarters \u2026 constitute a powerful and destructive form of counter-Catechesis for the young\u201d and that therefore the Church needs to be all the more committed to forming young hearts with the Church\u2019s full \u201cintegrated, consistent and uplifting vision of human sexuality.\u201d This has to occur not just in catechetical classrooms, retreats and homilies, but also through the convincing, embodied witness of Christian married couples. The young, he said, have a \u201cfundamental right to grow up with a healthy understanding of sexuality\u201d and all Catholics have the duty to provide it. Since children are the \u201cgreatest treasure and future of every society,\u201d and since the future of humanity will pass based on the choices they make with respect to chastity, love, sex, marriage and family, Pope Benedict concluded, \u201ctruly caring for them means recognizing our responsibility to teach, defend and live the moral virtues that are the key to human fulfillment.\u201d And meeting this responsibility in our present context requires nothing less than the full pastoral commitment of the entire Church.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
