It must certainly be admitted that man always exists in a particular culture, but it must also be admitted that man is not exhaustively defined by that same culture. Moreover, the very progress of cultures demonstrates that there is something in man which transcends those cultures. This “something” is precisely human nature: this nature is itself the measure of culture and the condition ensuring that man does not become the prisoner of any of his cultures, but asserts his personal dignity by living in accordance with the profound truth of his being. To call into question the permanent structural elements of man which are connected with his own bodily dimension would not only conflict with common experience, but would render meaningless Jesus’ reference to the “beginning”, precisely where the social and cultural context of the time had distorted the primordial meaning and the role of certain moral norms. This is the reason why “the Church affirms that underlying so many changes there are some things which do not change and are ultimately founded upon Christ, who is the same yesterday and today and for ever”.

The “Good Teacher” points out to him - and to all of us - that the answer to the question, “What good must I do to have eternal life?” can only be found by turning one’s mind and heart to the “One” who is good: “No one is good but God alone.” Only God can answer the question about what is good, because he is the Good itself.

"This past spring, two former popes entered the canon of saints. John XXIII and John Paul II were both, in some ways, larger than life. And now, following their canonizations, they become a part of the history and the mystery of great men and women who came before us.

The problem with great men and women, however, is that they leave very big footprints. John Paul II was a charismatic leader of the church, but I never sat at the piano nervously playing the song I’d just learned for him. John XXIII “flung open the windows of the Vatican,” but I never rode in the backseat of his car on a trip to Bob Evans.”

A reflection on how Grandpa’s example speaks more eloquently than those of larger-than-life saints:

English Program: All new Radio Teopoli, CIAO AM 530 Building a Culture of Life at 12 p.m. ET

Lou Iacobelli welcomes listeners to a our feature program: building a culture of life: the Church, Family and School.

Tune in as Lou sits with Fr. Claudio Piccinini C.P. as they discuss Evangelium Vitae, John Paul II, 25 March 1995

Check out Lou's blog post about Evangelium Vitae here.

Lou also interviews Garry Tanuan, Trustee for Ward 8 at the Toronto Catholic District School Board. On May 23, 2013, the Toronto Catholic District School Board by a vote of 7 to 4 sadly rejected the proposal by trustee Garry Tanuan to ban Gay/Straight Alliances, GSAs, in Catholic schools. The government has legislated these GSAs through the Equity and Inclusive Education policy and Bill 13. The claim is that this is the best way to fight bullying in schools. We don't agree. However, the legislation contradicts Catholics teaching, and a result principals, teachers and students are now "legally" forced to accept these new groups. 

Ward 8

Trustee Garry Tanuan

​Contact Information: Catholic Education Centre 80 Sheppard Avenue East North York, ON M2N 6E8 Phone: 416-512-3408 Fax: 416-512-3214 email: [email protected]

With supernatural intuition, Blessed Josemaria untiringly preached the universal call to holiness and apostolate. Christ calls everyone to become holy in the realities of everyday life. Hence work too is a means of personal holiness and apostolate, when it is done in union with Jesus Christ.

Did you know that Bob Dylan played for JP2 on September 27, 1997, at a youth rally in Bologna?
How many roads must a man walk down, before they call him a man How many seas must a white dove sail, before she sleeps in the sand How many times must the cannonballs fly, before they are forever banned The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind
Here’s what JP2 said afterwards:
A representative of yours has just said on your behalf that the answer to the questions of your life “is blowing in the wind”. It is true! But not in the wind which blows everything away in empty whirls, but the wind which is the breath and voice of the Spirit, a voice that calls and says: “come!” (cf. Jn 3:8; Rv 22:17).
You asked me: How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man? I answer you: one! There is only one road for man and it is Christ, who said: “I am the way” (Jn 14:6). He is the road of truth, the way of life.
I therefore say to you: at the crossroads where the many paths of your days intersect, question yourselves about the truth value of every choice you make. It can sometimes happen that the decision is difficult or hard, and that there is an insistent temptation to give in. This had happened to Jesus’ disciples, for the world is full of easy and inviting ways, downhill roads that plunge into the shadow of the valley where the horizon becomes more and more limited and stifling. Jesus offers you an uphill road, which is heavy going but lets the eye of the heart sweep over ever broader horizons. The choice is yours: to let yourselves slide downhill into the valley of a dull conformism, or to face the effort of climbing to the peak, where you can breathe the pure air of truth, goodness and love.
Read the rest!

When the gift-giving meaning of the body is obscured, distorted, and misrepresented, art becomes a lie. This is what happens in pornography. The body—which was created to be a free gift from one person to another—is depersonalized and reduced to an object for lust. Because the glory and beauty of the human body is at stake, we cannot remain indifferent to culture. We do not oppose pornography out of a narrow, puritanical idea of morality. Nor do we oppose it out of a Manichaean fear or hatred of the body, as is often asserted. The exact opposite is true. We oppose pornography out of deep respect for the dignity of the body.

In 1992, Pope John Paul II designated February 11 as World Day of the Sick. This is a time for “prayer and sharing, of offering one’s suffering for the good of the Church and of reminding us to see in our sick brother and sister the face of Christ who, by suffering, dying and rising, achieved the salvation of humankind.” (Quote from Letter Instituting the World Day of the Sick, 13 May 1992)
