Hey, Familia! Hey, UTEP!
Thanksgiving 2010 may be history, but!
The UTEP Prospector's "Turkey - less Thanksgiving" hot - button issue is not!

From the Tuesday, November 23, 2010 edition.
"According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture more than 45 million turkeys are cooked and eaten at American Thanksgiving dinner tables per year...
"[S]aid Andrea Benitez, senior political science major and president of UTEP Animal Activists club Don't let the food get in the way of what Thanksgiving all about."Benitez's family is also embracing some aspects of her diet and ideologies.
"Benitez said her sisters have adopted a vegetarian diet.

Noted Italian exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth quoting Pope John Paul II:
"Those bishops who don't believe in the devil, don't believe in the Gospel either."
Father then concludes:
"So, the Catholic who does not believe in the existence of Satan does not believe in a truth revealed in the Gospel.
"I would say that he is a false Catholic..."

Does Jesus -- just like the little girl Heather in the Jones Elementary child's story -- likewise have two mommies?
A local pastor...NOT Bishop Flores! O.K.? O.K.! :)
See the footnotes to yesterday's posting below!
New generation of authentic Jesus Christ - believing Roman Catholic Bishops is well - represented by the Most Reverend Daniel E. Flores of Brownsville, Texas.
"CFLC: Bishop Daniel E. Flores reminds attendees Jesus continues to come to us..."
And as he reminds us in Today's Catholic, Friday November 19, 2010:
"While the word catholic in a general sense first appears in the New Testament in terms of Jesus' coming for all nations, the words took on a more specific sense in the late third and in the fourth centuries in response to the Arian Heresy."
Were the Arians of yesterday much like Saint Mary Magdalene's clergy today?
In Brackettville, Texas?
Zip 78832?
You bet they were!
Just read on .... :) *
"The Arians held that Jesus was not fully God but kind of like the highest possible angel God could have sent, noted Bishop Flores.
"The Arians could not buy the fact that God himself would become flesh.
"Those who came to be called Catholics opposed this view, believing God so loved the world that he came himself..
"[R]elated the bishop What is the good news if we can't proclaim to the world that God came himself in the mystery of the Incarnation, in the flesh. Everything hangs on this..."
- - - --- ----- ---------------
*Here locally we hear such things from our clergy as, let us say, things more or less along these lines:
An ordained priest:
"Jesus -- just like the little girl Heather in the child's story - - likewise has two mommies.
An ordained permanent deacon:
"When was the Virgin Mary finally saved?
"When did she come to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior?
"No!
"Dennis!
" Forget that stuff about Cana!
"She still wouldn't have known more than the fact that her Son was really a somebody with the local wine merchants -- more than likely they were Phoenicians from either Tyre or Sidon.
"Thus, it was vitally important [for her own salvation??!!] that she be baptized with water and so that would most likely have happened between the Ascension and Pentecost..."

II. And here in Brackettville, Texas 78832?
To smash once and for all Saint Mary Magdalene's Catholic Parish's so - called in-house theft ring, whether it's actually composed of a minimum of two(2) well - placed Anglo men and one (1) Anglo woman, or whether it's actually composed of three (3) Anglo men and two (2) women -- including in this for instance -- one(1) Hispanic lady.
III. Lower - level archdiocesan personnel w/access to one (or more?) bank accounts in Uvalde may also be involved.Theoretically there might also be dummy accounts by now established in both Eagle Pass and Del Rio.
IV. Because it was to a bank in Uvalde that an estimated slush fund of $450,000 was transferred after being donated to the parish by some totally naive and well - meaning yet devout folks some years back.
V. The ostensible motive for this transfer was "to keep it out of Father Quang's hands." Heh, heh, heh! :)
"Rafael also grew to adulthood.
"He was armed with pistols,
"and one day he shot and killed three men.
"He had been cutting into another drug cartel's territory..."
Random snippet from Father Francis Theodore Pfeifer, O.M.I's memoir, When The Wolves Came.
"Rafael also grew to adulthood.
"He drove a new truck and made many night trips.
"He was armed with pistols, an done day he shot and killed three men...
"When Father Liekens and I returned from a retreat, we were told that Rafael had killed three men.
"He said it was self - defense.
"He had been cutting into another drug cartel's territory.
"One day, Father Liekens and I returned from a meeting with Bishop Arturo Lona Reyes.
"[W]e arrived in the parish at the top of the mountains around 3 p.m.
"After unloading the truck, we lay down to rest."
Comes a knock on their door: it's Rafael's mother!
"She said: Rafael my son, has been shot and is very badly hurt.
"Leaving with her, we walked to a house on the edge of town.
"Rafael lay on the floor bleeding, with part of his face shot away.
"I said: Rafael, your are dying. Please, let me confess you and give you the holy oils.
"He made the motion and received the sacraments in the presence of his mother..."

"I was left to care for our house while everyone else went to visit the Morony family ..."
A random snippet from Father Ted Pfeifer, O.M.I's personal memoir When the Wolves Came...
"Another time, my sisters Mary Alice and Colleen were in college and were traveling by bus to Pharr, about four miles from Alamo.
"I was left to care for our house while everyone else went to visit the Morony family.
"The typewriter had always attracted my attention.
"It belonged to my grandfather, who was justice of the peace in San Juan.
"He had loaned it to my sisters to practice.
"When everyone returned home in the evening, they found the typewriter ribbon scattered over the floor.
"I had been home alone, so the conclusion was evident.
"I don't recall what punishment I received for this, but rats frequently lived in the rafters.
"One day, as Dad and I were killing the rats, we found a big nest, and it was lined with typewriter ribbon.
"But I wasn't always so fortunate to have such a good excuse.
"In 1941, I was nine years old.
"I was in the fourth grade at St. Joseph's Catholic School in Alamo..."*
*I graduated from there in May of 1962; ours' was the last class to do so ...

"To address the severe lack of science teachers affecting the country, UTEP was given a $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation to help produce more science - related educators.
"[S]said Eric Hagedorn associate professor of physics and head of the project, UTEP has not graduated a physics high school teacher in the past 20 years..."
"The Robert Noyce Scholarship Grant will provide a $10,000 scholarship per academic school year for the next five years for a selected number of juniors and seniors who plan to major in math or science with a minor in secondary education...
"UTEP was in tough competition to receive the grant and was one of 37 universities in the country to be awarded, Hagedorn said..."

El R.P. Jorge y "Las Fabulosas!"
"[H]is only answer was to turn around and around..." :)
El Padre: "No puedo"
Las Fabulosas: "Vamos a usar vestidos"
Another snippet from the Father Francis Theodore Pfeifer, OMI work, When The Wolves Came: A Memoir.Father Jorge had been serving in roughly the same area of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec as had Father Ted, as Father Ted tells us, "until about 1968 or 1969, when he was called to Mexico City.
"At the Oblate parish of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe one day, a half dozen well dressed, elegant ladies went to the parish and asked him to celebrate a high Mass for them, for having served one year in their place of work.
"Father Jorge listened to them and his only answer was to turn around and around.
"When he found out that they wanted this high Mass to be celebrated in their bordello, he did the same thing again and said he could celebrate the Mass.
"These well - dressed ladies were prostitutes.
"He said, No puedo -- I can't do it.
"Their point was, Vamos a usar vestidos -- we are going to wear long dresses.
"Needless to say, Father Jorge didn't agree.
"The ladies were known as Las Fabulosas -- the fabulous ones.
"Christ comes into the world and loves everyone.
"Father Jorge is most remembered for his great love toward the poor and the sick.
"He spent most of his life helping them, administering the sacraments and bringing the love of Christ and Mary to them."
Father Jorge and the Mexican Army.
"He died in Mexico City.
"Hours before his funeral Mass at La Guadalupita, soldiers were present in uniform beside the casket.
"It was not permitted to wear a military uniform in church in Mexico, but they gave a mute salute to Father Jorge because he had visited so many sick soldiers.
"As far as I know, the Mexican army had never done this for any priest before, and Father Jorge was an American citizen.
"He died with the people he loved..."

"These Are My Thoughts"
A snippet from the end of his personal memoir, When The Wolves Came: The Missionary Life of an Oblate Priest in Mexico, 1963 - 2007.
"Dear Lord,
"Who am I?
"My dear God, what am I?
"I am created your servant.
"My God , I am only doing what you have already given me.
"In your glory and kindness, you have granted this servant your magnificent goodness to serve and to love you....
"The greatest love ever shown to me was by a poor Indian lady advanced in years.
"She was close to eighty years of age.
"One night about 10 p.m., some men went to her shack intending to shoot and kill two men they thought were hiding in her shack.
"The woman opened her door in response to their pounding.
"They shot her several times and left her to die.
"I heard the shots.
"About twenty minutes later, two ladies came to call me.
"Señora Gloria had been shot and was bleeding all over.
"Could I please come?
"I went with them and a good man, Rafael.
"Her body was full of blood, but she was still alive.
"We carried her down to the little clinic.
"She was moaning and crying in pain.
"We tried to help her at the clinic with great effort as she kept calling, Padre, Padre, Padre..
"I said, I am here as I continued [to] administer the holy oil.
"She said, Padre, Padre, I forgive them.
"A few minutes later, God called her to heaven.
"That was Jesus Christ calling out to God:
"Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing..."A great little book! :)

"Ask a Marian, with Fr. Joe Roesch, MIC...
"70 years of spreading Divine Mercy."
This brief snippet is adapted from Marian Helper. Winter 2010 - 2011.
www.marian.org.
"Q. Haven't the Marians been spreading The Divine Mercy message since 1941? How did they get started?"
"A. The stage was set when the Nazis started World War II by invading Poland in 1939, less than one year after St. Faustina's death.
"Then in the spring of 1940, Fr. Joseph Jarzebowski, MIC -- a Marian priest from Warsaw who had been blacklisted by the Nazi SS -- heard about the devotion to The Divine Mercy at a camp in Lithuania.
"That summer, he prayed to The Divine Mercy that he would be able to escape to America.
"Blessed Michael Sopocko, St. Faustina's spiritual director, heard of Fr. Joseph's plans, and on February 25, 1941, he gave him a Latin memorandum outlining the message and devotion to The Divine Mercy.
"Father Joseph promised to try to keep it safe and to publish it in America.
"He entrusted himself and his mission to the Merciful Savior, vowing to spread the message and devotion for the rest of his life if he safely reached the U.S."
Which he finally did in May 1941...
"Grateful for God's mercy, he began to share the message and to print materials.
"That same year, a small group of Marians in Washington, D.C., decided at a house meeting to undertake an apostolate of spreading the message and the devotion.
"The Marians began to print novena leaflets for the first time.
"Therefore, 2011 marks the 70th Anniversary Year of the Marians' spreading this message and devotion..."
Así nos opinó Monseñor Alonso Garza Treviño, obispo de Piedras Negras, Coahuila, República Mexicana.

"UNITED STATES:
"New liturgical translations envision more music.
"Cardinal George comments on texts..."
This snippet's from: The Catholic World Report, November 2010.
"In his archdiocesan newspaper column, Cardinal Francis George of Chicago discussed the preparations that should be made before the introduction of the new Roman Missal.
"He argued that information about the new translation will have to be given in a systematic way, because much of the information found so far in various articles and new [or news?] stories has been incomplete and sometimes erroneous.
"In an interesting reflection on the new liturgical texts, the cardinal says: the translations have been made with singing them in mind, so there should be more music in the Eucharistic celebration."

"Evangelization is a critical part of the Christian life,
"one that has been neglected by American Catholics
"for some time..."
Mr. Victor R. Claveau, M.J.
"The Church exists to evangelize"
A snippet from his timely commentary in the Homiletic & Pastoral Review -- November 2010.
"According to the most recent statistical data (2010) released by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA), during the past ten years the Catholic Church in the U.S. has declined by 5,846 priests, 761 brothers, and 22,270 sisters.
"During this same period, 1,278 parishes were closed, and currently 18.93 percent of parishes are without a a resident priest pastor.
"Additionally, the percentage of U.S. Catholics declined from 22 percent to 21 percent, which amounts to approximately eight hundred thousand souls.
"Alarmingly, only 22 percent of Catholics attend Mass one or more times per week.
"The only positive statistic in the report was the gain of 4,271 deacons...
"Thirty million Americans now identify themselves as former Catholics.
"These losses, however, have been partly offset by the number of people who have changed their affiliation to Catholicism (2.6 percent of the adult population), but more importantly by the disproportionally high number of Catholics among immigrants to the U.S.
"The result is that the overall percentage that identifies as Catholic has remained fairly stable."
But! As he now warns us:
"Evangelization, conversion and growth are Christ's commission; mere stability is an indictment against our leadership.
"There is but one answer to these numerous challenges.
"Only the Gospel message, broadly and enthusiastically proclaimed, has the power to change attitudes and to guide individuals from destructive paths toward holy lives and eventual righteousness before God..."
Way to go, Señor! :)
"VIETNAM: Faithful defy government orders.
"Prayer Groups in Home Continue..."
From: The Catholic World Report, November 2010.
"An estimated 4,000 Vietnamese Catholics in three northwestern provinces are defying local government bans on public religious activities and are gathering to pray in homes.
"[S]aid Joseph Nguyen Van Tien, a father of five who has been interrogated several times by police: I am very happy that 120 local Catholics now gather regularly at my home on Sundays to pray. We fear nothing because we gather to pray for ourselves to live better lives and for our relatives on their death anniversaries..."

"Borderland research at risk"
¡Adelante, Aaron!
From the hard copy edition of Tuesday, November 9, 2010.
"As UTEP proclaims to be a vital and unique research university on the border, a new regulation passed by the University of Texas System is now requiring students and faculty to avoid traveling to Mexico for research purposes.
"The new policy has left students scrambling to find other ways to carry out their graduate thesis or dissertations.
"[S]aid Alma Hernandez, graduate sociology student. Since the violence started, UTEP has basically shut down all the research we have been able to do... It creates a sort of disconnect since I am not actually there to conduct my research...
"According to Benjamin Flores, interim dean of of the graduate school, the new regulation is not meant to prevent students from doing international research, but is to help protect students and faculty from areas deemed dangerous...
"Eva Moya's doctoral thesis project was in the earlier stages when the regulation from the UT System went into effect.
"Moya, now an assistant professor of social work, said she did [have] to alter the gathering methods for her research project, but was lucky enough to have reliable sources to help her complete her thesis...."
