Today, the Synod study group of African bishops (SECAM) published its final document on polygamy (below). The text firmly reiterates the Church’s teaching that marriage is monogamous by nature - one man and one woman. This is not a cultural construct, but is rooted in creation (Genesis), Christ’s teachings (Matthew 19) and the sacramental nature of marriage itself. Summary of the document: Polygamy is incompatible with sacramental marriage, contradicts the equal dignity of men and women, and cannot represent the unity between Christ and the Church. Clear Also At The Practical Level Furthermore, the document is clear that polygamists are not admitted to the sacraments. No one may be baptised while remaining in a polygamous union. There is no allowance for baptism based on promises of future change — conversion must be genuine and take place beforehand. In certain cases, the first wife may be baptised, especially if she is not responsible for the polygamy. Polygamous unions are not …Bongata

Bishop Johannes Hendriks, 71, of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, uncritically endorsed the state educational program that children should learn “to respect sexual diversity” without expressing any reservations or critical reflection. Johannes Hendrik is the bishop "responsible" for Catholic education. He wrote on March 23 an article on Kn.nl to defend and promote the importance of educational freedom, especially for Catholic schools. However he starts this text by quoting approvingly the Dutch state educational core objectives: “Article 23 of the Constitution, concerning freedom of education, has long been under fire for allegedly encouraging discrimination. Yet it is precisely thanks to this freedom of education that there are Catholic schools which, in keeping with their ethos, prioritise respect and human dignity. 'Pupils learn the essentials about religious movements that play an important role in Dutch multicultural society, and they learn to treat sexuality and diversity within …Bongata

SERMON DELIVERED BY BISHOP CLEMENS AUGUST COUNT OF GALEN ON JULY 13, 1941 AT THE CHURCH OF ST. LAMBERT, MUENSTER My dear Catholics of St. Lambert: Today I had intended to speak my personal episcopal message from the pulpit of the town and market church concerning the events of the past week, and especially to express my very deep sympathy to my former congregation. The devastation and losses have been particularly great in certain parts of the parish of St. Lambert's, though also in other parts of the town. I hope that some of the distress will be alleviated by the efforts of the municipal and state authorities and also by your brotherly love and the results of today's collections for the Charitable Fund and the Parish charity. I had made up my mind to speak a few words about the purpose of these visitations, how God tries by this means to call us back to Himself. God wants to call Munster to him. How truly our forefathers were at home with God and in God's holy Church! How entirely …Bongata
Sermon Delivered by Bishop Clemens August Count of Galen on August 3, 1941 The Third Sermon, preached in the Church of St. Lambert's on August 3rd, 1941,in which the Bishop attacks the Nazi practice of euthanasia and condemns the ‘mercy killings’ taking place in his own diocese. Note: Some words were printed in boldface by this website. My Beloved Brethren, In today's Gospel we read of an unusual event: Our Saviour weeps. Yes, the Son of God sheds tears. Whoever weeps must be either in physical or mental anguish. At that time Jesus was not yet in bodily pain and yet here were tears. What depth of torment He must have felt in His heart and Soul, if He, the bravest of men, was reduced to tears. Why is He weeping? He is lamenting over Jerusalem, the holy city He loved so tenderly, the capital of His race. He is weeping over her inhabitants, over His own compatriots because they cannot foresee the judgment that is to overtake them, the punishment which His divine prescience and justice have …Bongata

"Contemporary Western ideology is based this time not only on a simple illusion, but on an illusion and a madness that have become total and totalitarian. Our societies find themselves plunged not into the light of science or simple common sense, but into the most complete and formidable obscurantism there is, that of rationalism, scientism, and modernism. There is no ideology more complete, more stupid, and more dangerous than the one that thinks itself enlightened by science, by reason, and marching towards infinite progress. It is this ideology which ignores the most basic facts, more than any primitive society. And the great tragedy of the contemporary world is that entire populations share it today, following a globalized semantic manipulation with multiple entries. The enterprise of anthropological dismemberment that underlies Modernity is based on the negation, which claims to be legitimized by science and reason, of everything that has allowed man in primitive or traditional …Bongata
"The number of attacks on Christians in the West Bank is increasing," Auxiliary Bishop William Shomali of Jerusalem told EwtnNews.com on 20 March. Israeli settlers have prevented Palestinian Christians from accessing their land by making various threats and using physical aggression and causing property damage, including burning cars. "This has mainly happened in the Christian village of Taybeh, and we have reported this to the whole world, even to the American ambassador in Tel Aviv. He came to visit the area and promised to take action, but not much has been done," said Monsignor Shomali. In Birzeit, a Palestinian Christian town located approximately six miles north of Ramallah in the West Bank, Bishop Shomali reported that illegal settlers have been arriving "almost daily to intimidate individuals in their homes or workplaces." Israeli rightwing settlers have also occupied land belonging to a convent of nuns in a village near Bethlehem called Urtas: "The sisters have a hill where they …Bongata
