The Most Reverend John O. Barres, S.T.D., J.C.L., D.D. ~ Biography

The Most Reverend John O. Barres, S.T.D., J.C.L., D.D., was born on September 20, 1960 and is a native of Larchmont, New York. His late parents, Marjorie (Catchpole) Barres and Oliver Barres (a native of Bethlehem), were Protestant ministers who met each other at the Yale Divini-ty School, and subsequently converted to Catholicism, entering the Catholic Church in 1955. The story of their conversion is told in Oliver Barres’ book, One Shepherd, One Flock. Bishop Barres is the fifth of six children and has seven nephews and four nieces. Bishop Barres is a graduate of Princeton University (BA in English Literature), where he played three years of junior varsity bas-ketball during the Coach Pete Carril era, and the New York University Graduate School of Business Administration (MBA in Management). His theological education includes an STB and an STL in Systematic Theology from the Catholic University of America (where he received seminary formation at Theological College), and a JCL in Canon Law and an STD in Spiritual the-ology from the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome. Bishop Barres was baptized by Bishop Fulton Sheen in 1960 while his father was working for the Bishop at the Propagation of the Faith in New York City. He was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Wilmington on October 21, 1989 by Bishop Robert Mul-vee. He began his priesthood as an associate pastor at churches in Newark and Wilmington. After further study in Rome, he served as Vice-Chancellor and then Chancellor of the Wilmington Diocese. Pope John Paul II named him a “Chaplain to His Holiness” in July 2000 with the title of “Monsignor.” Pope Benedict XVI named him a “Prelate of Honor” in November 2005. Bishop Barres was ordained a Bishop and installed as the fourth Bishop of Allentown by His Eminence, Justin Cardinal Rigali, Archbishop of Philadelphia at the Cathedral of Saint Catharine of Siena in Allentown on July 30, 2009. He was the first priest ordained a bishop within the Diocese of Allentown. As shepherd of the Diocese, Bishop Barres has initiated a vibrant diocesan-wide St. Thomas More Society for lawyers, which is very active in local efforts to educate the faithful on the need to protect our religious liberty. He has also established an aspiran-cy program for young men considering a call to the priesthood. Each summer, the Diocese sponsors Quo Vadis, a weeklong summer camp/retreat for high school age boys who think they may have a vocation. Under the Bishop’s leadership the Diocese has expanded Hispanic ministry to better serve Hispanic people, the fastest growing population group in the diocese. Recognizing that vibrant parishes make a vibrant Diocese, the Bishop has initiated a pastoral planning process for parishes across the Diocese and called on every parish in the Diocese to establish a functioning Parish Pastoral Council. The Bishop has supported efforts of pastors, teachers and parents in strengthening Catholic schools. Bishop Barres has also guided the Diocese in its ongoing pastoral and strategic planning which has resulted in cutting edge efforts to enhance pastoral ministries and help to strengthen the financial condition of the Diocese. The Bishop sees the value of social media in spreading the Gospel message and the New Evangelization. He has a video blog on the Diocesan website, opened a twitter account and is working with staff to expand the Diocese’s social media presence. Nationally, Bishop Barres serves on the USCCB Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis. Since 2013, he has been the USCCB’s Episcopal Liaison to the Pontifical Mission Societies. He also serves on the Board of Trustees at St. Charles Borro-meo Seminary outside Philadelphia. Local institutions of higher education have recognized Bishop Barres’ impact on the community. De Sales University in Center Valley and Alvernia University in Reading have awarded the Bishop honorary doctor of humane letters degrees. Albright Col-lege in Reading has awarded Bishop Barres an honorary doctor of divinity degree. On December 9, 2016, Pope Francis named Bishop Barres as the fifth bishop of Rockville Centre, New York. He will be in-stalled on January 31, 2017 in the Cathedral of Saint Agnes.

THE BEATITUDES

The sole end of man is to be happy, and Jesus

Christ came only to give us the means of being

so. The source of all good is to place happiness

where it ought to be; and the source of all evil is

to place it where it ought not to be. Suppose,

then, we have said, “I wish to be happy,” we

have next to see how we may become so: to see

in what end happiness consists, and what are the

means of obtaining it.

Now, we shall find the end set forth in each one

of the eight Beatitudes, for eternal happiness is

the subject of them all, but described by various

names. Thus, in the first it appears as a kingdom,

in the second as the promised land, in the third

as true and perfect consolation, and in the fourth

as the fulfilment of all our longings.

In the fifth, we find it as the final act of mercy

that shall free us from every evil and bestow on

us every good. In the sixth it is named by its true

name, which is the vision of God. In the seventh

it is set forth as the seal set on our adoption; and

in the eighth, once more as the Kingdom of

Heaven. Here, then, we have the end throughout;

but as there are several means, each Beatitude

proposes one of these to us, whilst all of them

together must bring about man’s final happiness.

BISHOP JACQUES-BÉNIGNE BOSSUET (+1704) was a

French bishop and theologian.

Jesus Battles the Storm

Once there was a sadness in the whole human nature

because of a lack of grace, because the door was

closed (cf. Acts 14:27), because of the oppression of

the ancient captivity (cf Acts 10:38; Lk 4:18). But

now the divine grace is poured out, since all are

filled with the Holy Spirit, as we read in Acts 2:4 and

4:31. The heavenly door is opened, as it is said in

Rv 4:1: I have seen the gate opened in heaven. The

power of the devil is repelled, as it is said in Jn

12:31: The ruler of this world is thrown out. And

Rv 12:10: Now the salvation, the strength, and the

reign of our God has come and the authority of his

Christ, because the accuser of our brothers is cast

out….

If there is a graceful knowledge of God in our intel-

lect and an intimate exultation in our affection, the

consequence is that it cannot be otherwise than that

there is a song of praise in our mind….

Yes, we ought to praise the power of the One who

battles for us (Is 63:1), who has led us out, away

from dangers (2 Mc1:11, 2 Cor 1:10). Quite a big

danger is serving the devil and sin, for this is the

slavery of Pharaoh. But now we, because freed from

sin, we have yet become slaves for God (Rom 6:22),

sing to the Lord: Gloriously (he is magnified, for the

horse and his rider, he cast them down in the sea)

(Ex 15:1). And it follows: My strength and my praise

are the Lord.

SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS (+1274) was a Dominican priest

from Italy. He remains one of the Church’s premier Doc-

tors.

Orthodoxy, Sin, and Heresy

Fr. Ron Rolheiser—Week of January 8, 2017

Recently, while on the road giving a workshop, I took the opportunity to go the Cathedral in that city for a Sunday Eucharist. I was

taken aback by the homily. The priest used the Gospel text where Jesus says, I am the vine and you are the branches, to tell the

congregation that what Jesus is teaching here is that the Roman Catholic Church constitutes what is referred to as the branches

and the way we link to those branches is through the mass and if we miss mass on a Sunday we are committing a mortal sin and

should we die in that state we will go to hell.

Then, aware that what he was saying would be unpopular, he protested that the truth is often unpopular, but that what he just said

is orthodox Catholic teaching and that anyone denying this is in heresy. It’s sad that this kind of thing is still being said in our

churches.

Does the Catholic Church really teach that missing mass is a mortal sin and that if you die in that state you will go to hell? No,

that’s not Catholic orthodoxy, though popular preaching and catechesis often suppose that it is, even as neither accepts the full

consequences.

Here’s an example: Some years ago, I presided at the funeral of a young man, in his twenties, who had been killed in a car acci-

dent. In the months before his death he had for all practical purposes ceased practicing his Catholicism: He had stopped going to

church, was living with his girlfriend outside of marriage, and had not been sober when he died. However his family and the congre-

gation who surrounded him at his burial knew him, and they knew that despite his ecclesial and moral carelessness he had a good

heart, that he brought sunshine into a room and that was a generous young man.

At the reception after the funeral one of his aunts, who believed that missing mass was a mortal sin that could condemn you to hell,

approached me and said: “He had such a great heart and such a wonderful energy; if I were running the gates of heaven, I would

let him in.” Her comment wonderfully betrayed something deeper inside of her, namely, her belief that a good heart will trump eccle-

sial rules in terms of who gets to go to heaven and the belief that God has wider criteria for judgment than those formulated in ex-

ternal church rules. She believed that it was a mortal sin to miss mass on Sunday but, for all the right reasons, could not accept the

full consequences of that, namely, that her nephew was going to hell. Deep down, she knew that God reads the heart, understands

human carelessness, welcomes sinners into his bosom, and does not exclude goodness from heaven.

But that still leaves the question: Is it orthodox Roman Catholic teaching to say that it is a mortal sin to not go to church on a Sun-

day and that such an ecclesial lapse can send you to hell? No, to teach that categorically would itself be bordering on heresy.

Simply stated, Catholic moral theology has always taught that sin is a subjective thing that can never be read from the outside. We

can never look at an action from the outside and say: “That’s a sin!” We can look at an action from the outside and say: “That’s

wrong!” But that’s a different judgment. From the outside we can judge an action as objectively wrong, but we can never make the

judgment that it’s a sin. Moreover this isn’t new, liberal teaching, it is already found in our traditional Catechisms. Nobody can look

at the action of someone else and say: “That’s a sin!” To teach that we can make such a judgment goes against Catholic orthodoxy.

We can, and must, affirm that certain things are wrong, objectively wrong, but sin is something else.

Probably the most quoted line from Pope Francis is his famous response to a moral question where he simply responded: “Who am

I to judge?” He’s in good company. In the Gospel of John, Jesus says: “You judge by appearances; I judge no one.” That, of

course, does not mean that there isn’t any judgment. There is, it’s real, and it can condemn someone to hell. But it works this way:

God’s Love, Life, Truth, and Light come into the world and we judge ourselves apposite them. God condemns no one, but we can

condemn ourselves. It is God’s Love, Life, Truth, and Light against which we weigh ourselves and these determine who goes

where, already here on earth and in eternity.

In our catechesis and our popular preaching we must be more careful in our use of the term “mortal sin” and in our judgments as to

who goes to heaven and who goes to hell, fully aware that there wasn’t any group that Jesus was harsher on than on those who

were making those kinds of judgments.

THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to my medical fund thus far. I found out my initial campaign (not run by me) has been shut down for an unknown reason. The first campaign helped cover my household bills from missed work, as well as smaller hospital bills. This new campaign is set up in hopes of paying back some of the $90k+ I owe as of now. (This is only one of the two surgeries I have had so far.) It is very possible I will have to claim bankruptcy if I can-not make a good dent. That is a very frightening thought as a single parent. For those of you who either have donated already, or cannot afford to, please do not feel obligated. I ask for prayers for myself and for my family. It has been a very rough couple of months. The new link is www.gofundme.com/lishanson. You can also leave donations at the Parish Center. Every little bit helps, and has helped. God bless and thank you so much. St. Martha’s has been incredible with your generosity.

~Elissa Hanson, Music Director

Dear Lord, As my life declines and my energies decrease,

more than ever hold me by

Your Power, that I may not offend You, but daily increase in Your Love.

Give me strength to work in Your Service till the last day of my life.

Help me to ever have an increasing dread of venial sin,

or whatever would cause the

slightest withdrawal of Your Love; all day long,

and at night keep me close to Your Heart; and should I die, ere the morning breaks,

may I go rejoicing

in that vision of Your entrancing beauty, never to be separated from You. Amen.
