POSITRACTION: Pope Francis Declares Opposition Death Penalty

Pope Francis Declares Death Penalty Inadmissible in All Cases
Posted on August 2, 2018 by JMF

(From BBC News)

*** begin quote ***

Pope Francis has changed the teachings of the Catholic faith to oppose the death penalty in all circumstances, the Vatican has said.

The Catechism of the Church, which sums up the teachings, had previously stated that the death penalty could be used in some cases.

*** end quote ***

Well, a stopped clock is right twice a day!  I never needed the Pope to tell me that the “death penalty” is immoral.

What changed after all these centuries?

Did he wake up one morning and decide?  Divine inspiration?  Need a new way to get publicity?  Seek to distract from the ongoing paedophilia scandals!

I’ll vote for “distraction”.

The Papacy has lost all credibility and moral authority.

Argh!

Good Afternoon All,

Terry Gaffney has shared the very sad news of the death of Fellow Jasper, Thomas J. Moran '74 BS, Past Chairman (Chairman Emeritus), President & CEO, Mutual Of America Insurance Company. Tom was called home, too soon, early Sunday Morning, August 12, 2018. We pray for Tom, his Wife Joan and their Family as they mourn his passing. Tom, a good friend of Manhattan College, a proud Irishman, he loved life and made life better for many. Tom was a man of whom we can say, " Good Man, Himself." Tom will be missed by all who knew him and remembered with affection, respect, appreciation and with love by those who knew him personnaly. Tom was a man of great compassion, generosity and good will. He treated everyone  with respect and inspired all to do and be better. He was a gracious man, with a great smile that said, you are welcome here.
   
The following heartfelt message is a wonderful tribute from John R. Greed, Chairman, President and CEO of Mutual Of America. It includes a beautiful Poem that speaks so well to who Tom was. Funeral Arrangements will be forthcoming. Mass of Christian Burial will probably be on Friday, August 17, 2018 at St. Patrick Cathedral. Thank you Terry Gaffney and Lou Calvelli. Thank you John Greed. Thank you all. God Bless.

Phil Colon

Subject: Re: Tom Moran - An Important Message from our Chairman, President and CEO, John R. Greed

It is with enormous sadness and a broken heart, I share with you that our Chairman Emeritus, colleague and close friend Tom Moran passed away peacefully early this morning.  The funeral Mass will most likely be held on Friday, August 17th at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.   I will share further details of  wake and funeral arrangements with you as soon as they are finalized.

As I said when Tom retired as Chairman in March, there can be no doubt that Tom’s engaging personality and personal imprint contributed greatly to Mutual of America’s success for more than 40 years.  Key to that success is the caring corporate culture that he built, which focuses on truly making a difference in the lives of our customers, our employees and in the communities in which they live and work.  His generosity in helping others inspired everyone who knew him.

Not only did Tom successfully lead our Company through many challenges in a constantly changing and competitive retirement savings industry during his 21 years as our Chief Executive Officer; equally as important he taught all of us a lot about caring, giving back and making a difference in the world.  Tom was the most genuinely caring, compassionate person with a huge heart that I have ever known.  We have all been very fortunate and blessed to have known him and to have had the opportunity to work with him.  As a long-time mentor and close friend of mine, Tom helped me become the best possible version of myself.   

His passion and love of life and the contagious effect it had on everyone he came in contact with will be greatly missed throughout the world.

When I was a young man struggling to understand what “success” was all about, a Franciscan priest that had taught me in high school gave me the following poem.  I share it with you so that you can fully appreciate what I mean when I say that Tom was one of the most successful people I have ever known.  It goes like this:

To laugh often and love much;
To win the respect of intelligent persons and the betrayal of a false friend;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one’s self without the slightest thought of receiving something in return;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;
To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.


Please keep Joan and both Tom and Joan’s families in your thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.

ENDNOTE: Hundreds of priests accused of abuse

In a damning report, 4 N.J. Catholic priests are among hundreds accused of abuse

One went to prison. Another died awaiting trial. One was placed on leave, but escaped prosecution because the statute of limitations had expired. Another was removed from ministry and retired.

Four Roman Catholic priests with ties to New Jersey were among the hundreds of men identified in a sweeping grand jury report released Tuesday, detailing a litany of abuses against more than 1,000 children.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said senior church officials sought to cover up the often horrific abuse, while keeping records of it.

“Church officials routinely and purposefully described the abuse as horseplay and wrestling and inappropriate conduct,” Shapiro said at a news conference. “It was none of those things. It was child sexual abuse, including rape.”

The report, a scathing criticism that looked back at cases now decades old, concluded that a succession of Catholic bishops and other diocesan leaders tried to shield the church from bad publicity and financial liability by covering up abuse, failing to report accused clergy to police and discouraging victims from going to law enforcement.

Not all the names were disclosed. Some current and former clergy went to court to prevent the report's release, arguing it violated their constitutional rights and due process of law.

*** and ***

The scandal in New Jersey
In June, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the former Archbishop of Newark and Archbishop Emeritus of Washington, D.C., was removed from public ministry in the wake of allegations he abused a teenage boy 50 years ago while serving as a priest in New York.

McCarrick, who has since resigned as a cardinal, was one of the highest-ranking American leaders in the Catholic Church to be removed from ministry over sex abuse charges after the allegations against him were deemed "credible and substantiated" by church officials. At the same time, church officials in New Jersey revealed for the first time that the cardinal had previously been accused of sexual misconduct with three adults during his time in the state.

IMHO, this is the end of the Church as a moral authority in the USA.

It’s a disgrace to anyone “Catholic”.

Hope that the entire mess gets exposed.
