VERBUM DOMINI

82. The Synod attributed particular importance to the deci-sive role that the word of God must play in the spiritual life of can-didates for the ministerial priesthood: “Candidates for the priesthood must learn to love the word of God. Scripture should thus be the soul of their theological formation, and emphasis must be given to the in-dispensable interplay of exegesis, theology, spirituality and mission”.Those aspiring to the ministerial priesthood are called to a profound personal relationship with God’s word, particularly in lectio divina, so that this relationship will in turn nurture their vocation: it is in the light and strength of God’s word that one’s specific vocation can be dis-cerned and appreciated, loved and followed, and one’s proper mission carried out, by nourishing the heart with thoughts of God, so that faith, as our response to the word, may become a new criterion for judging and evaluating persons and things, events and issues.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY .I invite the reader to think through an interesting and very serious conundrum. Many of us are rightly alarmed at ever-bolder at-tempts by our increasingly secular state to violate the religious liberty

of its citizens.Many of us are rightly alarmed at ever-bolder attempts by our increasingly secular state to violate the religious liberty of its citi-

zens. To ward off such violations, we embrace the relevant part of the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …” We therefore invoke the so-called “Free Exercise Clause” as a shield to impede attempts by the state to control or prohibit the free exercise of our religious convictions (and implicitly, the “Establish-ment Clause,” as we’ll see). We do not tend to regard this shield as something merely man-made, a rule that happened to be adopted in a game and now we must stick to (“Collect $200 if you pass Go”), but a rule written, somehow, into our very nature—indeed, a kind of sacred, inviolable right. That is certainly the way the American Catholic bishops wielded the First Amendment last summer when the Obama Admin-istration attempted to use an HHS mandate to force Catholic institu-tions to provide insurance coverage for contraception, abortifacients, and sterilizations. The bishops cried out, “Religious Liberty.” The embrace of religious liberty as a right was memorably expressed by James Madison in his “Memorial and Remonstrance” (1785). Madison, one of the great Founders, is considered to be the father of the Bill of Rights, so it would seem we’d want his opinion about the First Amendment. “The Religion…of every man,” Madi-son proclaimed, “must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man; and it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate. This right is in its nature an unalienable right.” In fact, Madison declared that this right was rooted in a duty, “the duty of every man to render to the Creator such homage and such only as he [i.e., every man] believes acceptable to him [presum-ably, but not unambiguously, God].” Here comes the puzzler, which I’ll set out in semi-syllogistic enumerated steps. (1) Today we passionately hold that we each have a right to believe, to worship, as we see fit—each of us individually. But that means everyone else has that same right. (2) The claim and practice of that right creates a diversity of beliefs, as many as there are different convictions about what homage is acceptable to the divine. (3) In order for each individual to protect himself from some other believer using government power to dictate his beliefs, he must not allow his own or anyone else’s belief, anyone else’s faith, to define or inform the state as the established state religion (so that the Free Exercise Clause is inextricably linked to the Establishment Clause). (4) But the result is a state defined by no one’s beliefs, a state defined by the subtraction of all religious beliefs, that is to say, a state defined by the establishment of unbelief, a secular state. But, it is precisely this state, as secular, that ever more force-fully infringes on religious liberty by actively imposing a secular worldview upon the citizenry as the default, established worldview. This view is gotten by the subtraction of all beliefs, including the sub-traction of the particular moral beliefs in Christianity that stem from its doctrinal beliefs, but not merely that. It also entails the addition of its own moral beliefs. The HHS mandate is just that: an attempt at forced subtraction of Christian moral beliefs, and the imposition of secular sexual beliefs in their place. And so, the puzzler. Like Chinese handcuffs, the harder we pull on Religious Liberty to extract ourselves from the increasingly more insistent impositions of the secular state, the more we encour-age religious diversity. The more religious diversity, the greater the need for a secular state which protects us from having someone else’s religious beliefs imposed upon us. The more we empower a secu-lar state defined by the subtraction of all particular religious beliefs, the more powerfully does the secular state establish its ownsecular worldview by federal force, including secular morality. Hence, the

HHS trying to mandate that the Catholic Church provide coverage for contraception, abortifacients, and sterilization. To put the puzzler in a nutshell, the hearty and unambigu-ous affirmation of religious liberty leads to the secular destruction of religion and the imposition of secularism as the default worldview. This destruction is even more complete than we’ve implied, a point that can be made clear with our example of the Catholic Church. If it is an “unalienable right” for every man to define his reli-gion according to his “conviction and conscience,” then the Catholic Church above all violates Religious Liberty by imposing very spe-cific theological and moral doctrines on its flock. And so if we truly want the secular state to protect this “un-alienable right” of each individual to define his religion according to his personal conviction and conscience, then the state can rightly be called in to protect the rights of individual Catholics from violations by the Catholic Church—including the Church’s intransigence in not providing contraception, abortifacients, and sterilization in its insur-ance packets.

“Fascist! Fascist!”

At this point in the argument, if I were in the public square or even more a public university, I would no doubt be treated to shouts of “Fascist!” and, among the more historically-minded, “Torquema-da!” In other words, my “freedom of speech” would be pummeled in the name of what appears to be freedom of religion because I seem to be implying, by calling into question the unalienable right to believe whatever one wants, that I intend to impose upon everyone else what I happen to believe. That is so unspeakably bad, a kind of blasphemy, that he who dares even imply it, thereby forfeits one First Amendment guar-antee (freedom of speech), for the protection of another more sacred (everyone else’s free exercise of religion). That is precisely why we need a secular state to protect us, so that one man’s religious beliefs aren’t allowed to lord it over everyone or anyone else’s. And that ends us back at the puzzler: the affirmation of re-ligious liberty leads to the suppression of religion by a secular state. The secular state is thereby empowered to impose unbelief, including the particular moral beliefs held dearly by secularism. The affirma-tion of religious liberty leads to its extinction at the hands of the secu-lar state.

Religious Liberty and the Strategy of Secularization: “Divided We Stand”

This seems to work so well for the cause of secularization, landing us right back under the thumb of a secular and seculariz-ing government, that we have warrant to ask a more-than-interesting question: Is that the way it’s been designed to work? More provoca-tively, was it designed to work that way by secularists, i.e., those who wished to subtract Christianity from public dominance and replace it with secularism? It’s worth exploring, beginning with Thomas Jefferson’s provocative words, written in a letter to Jacob De La Motta (1820), that seem to imply that maximizing the diversity of religious beliefs keeps any one of them from gaining control of political power. For Jefferson, “religious freedom is the most effectual anodyne against religious dissension: the maxim of civil government being reversed in that of religion, where its true form is ‘divided we stand, united, we fall.’” The greater the diversity of beliefs, the less likely any of them will have enough strength to gain political power. And so, as far as religious beliefs go, “divided we stand.” This same approach would appear to be spelled out more directly in James Madison’s famous Federalist 10, dealing with the danger of factions. The problem with factions is, for Madison, that there are generally too few of them. With a mere handful of factions, each “united and actuated by some common impulse of passion,” it is all too easy for one of these factions to swell to a majority and gain political ascendancy. Once having gained its position of power, it can then steer the republic in its own particular direction. The cure is to continually stir up more factions, especially from the national level. And Madison makes clear this principle applies to religion. cont’d

SAN VICENTE FERRER

Vicente venció en aquel por quien había sido vencido el mundo

—San Agustín, obispo

A vosotros se os ha concedido la gracia -dice el Apóstol- de estar del lado de Cristo, no sólo creyendo en él, sino sufriendo por él. Una y otra gracia había recibido el diácono Vicen-te, las había recibido y, por esto, las tenía. Si no las hubiese recibido, ¿cómo hubiera podido tenerlas? En sus palabras tenía la fe, en sus sufrimientos la paciencia. Nadie confíe en sí mismo al hablar; nadie confíe en sus propias fuerzas al sufrir la prueba, ya que, si hablamos con rectitud y prudencia, nuestra sabiduría proviene de Dios y, si sufrimos los males con fortaleza, nuestra pacien-cia es también don suyo. Recordad qué advertencias da a los suyos Cristo, el Señor, en el Evangelio; recordad que el Rey de los mártires es quien equipa a sus huestes con las armas espirituales, quien les enseña el modo de luchar, quien les suministra su ayuda, quien les promete el remedio, quien, habiendo dicho a sus discípulos: En el mundo tendréis luchas, añade inmediatamente, para consolarlos y ayudarlos a vencer el temor: Pero tened valor: yo he vencido al mundo. ¿Por qué admirarnos, pues, amadísimos hermanos, de que Vicente venciera en aquel por quien había sido ven-cido el mundo? En el mundo - dice- tendréis luchas; se lo dice para que estas luchas no los abrumen, para que en el combate no sean vencidos. De dos maneras ataca el mun-do a los soldados de Cristo: los halaga para seducirlos, los atemoriza para doblegarlos. No dejemos que nos domine el propio placer, no dejemos que nos atemorice la ajena crueldad, y habremos vencido al mundo. En uno y otro ataque sale al encuentro Cristo, para que el cristiano no sea vencido. La constancia en el suf-rimiento que contemplamos en el martirio que hoy con-memoramos es humanamente incomprensible, pero la vemos como algo natural si en este martirio reconocemos el poder divino. Era tan grande la crueldad que se ejercitaba en el cuerpo del mártir y tan grande la tranquilidad con que él hablaba, era tan grande la dureza con que eran tratados sus miembros y tan grande la seguridad con que sonaban sus palabras, que parecía como si el Vicente que hablaba no fuera el mismo que sufría el tormento. Es que, en realidad, hermanos, así era: era otro el que hablaba. Así lo había prometido Cristo a sus testigos, en el Evangelio, al prepararlos para semejante lucha. Había dicho, en efecto: No os preocupéis de lo que vais a decir

o de cómo lo diréis. No seréis vosotros los que habléis, el Espíritu de vuestro Padre hablará por vosotros. Era, pues, el cuerpo de Vicente el que sufría, pero era el Espíritu quien hablaba, y, por estas palabras del Es-píritu, no sólo era redargüida la impiedad, sino también confortada la debilidad.

EN LA CONCORDIA DE LA UNIDAD

—San Ignacio de Antioquía

Es justo que vosotros glorifiquéis de todas las maneras a Jesucristo, que os ha glorificado a vosotros, de modo que, unidos en una perfecta obediencia, sumisos a vuestro obispo y al colegio presbiteral, seáis en todo santi-ficados. No os hablo con autoridad, como si fuera alguien. Pues, aunque estoy encarcelado por el nombre de Cristo, todavía no he llegado a la perfección en Jesucristo. Ahora, precisamente, es cuando empiezo a ser discípulo suyo y os hablo como a mis condiscípulos. Porque lo que necesito más bien es ser fortalecido por vuestra fe, por vuestras ex-hortaciones, vuestra paciencia, vuestra ecuanimidad. Pero, como el amor que os tengo me obliga a hablaros también acerca de vosotros, por esto me adelanto a exhortaros a que viváis unidos en el sentir de Dios. En efecto, Jesu-cristo, nuestra vida inseparable, expresa el sentir del Padre, como también los obispos, esparcidos por el mundo, son la expresión del sentir de Jesucristo. Por esto debéis estar acordes con el sentir de vuestro obispo, como ya lo hacéis. Y en cuanto a vuestro colegio presbiteral, digno de Dios y del nombre que lleva, está armonizado con vuestro obispo como las cuerdas de una lira. Este vuestro acuerdo y concordia en el amor es como un himno a Jesucristo. Procurad todos vosotros for-mar parte de este coro, de modo que, por vuestra unión y concordia en el amor, seáis como una melodía que se eleva a una sola voz por Jesucristo al Padre, para que os escuche y os reconozca, por vuestras buenas obras, como miembros de su Hijo. Os conviene, por tanto, manteneros en una unidad perfecta, para que seáis siempre partícipes de Dios. Si yo, en tan breve espacio de tiempo, contraje con vuestro obispo tal familiaridad, no humana, sino espiritual ¿cuánto más dichosos debo consideraros a vosotros, que estáis unidos a él como la Iglesia a Jesucristo y como Je-sucristo al Padre, resultando así en todo un consentimiento unánime? Nadie se engañe: quien no está unido al altar se priva del pan de Dios. Si tanta fuerza tiene la oración de cada uno en particular, ¿cuánto más la que se hace presi-dida por el obispo y en unión con toda la Iglesia?

VERBUM DOMINI

82. El Sínodo ha dado particular importancia al pa-pel decisivo de la Palabra de Dios en la vida espiritual de los candidatos al sacerdocio ministerial: «Los candidatos al sacerdocio deben aprender a amar la Palabra de Dios. Por tanto, la Escritura ha de ser el alma de su formación teológi-ca, subrayando la indispensable circularidad entre exegesis, teología, espiritualidad y misión». Los aspirantes al sacer-docio ministerial están llamados a una profunda relación personal con la Palabra de Dios, especialmente en la lectio divina, porque de dicha relación se alimenta la propia vo-cación: con la luz y la fuerza de la Palabra de Dios, la propia vocación puede descubrirse, entenderse, amarse, seguirse, así como cumplir la propia misión, guardando en el corazón el designio de Dios, de modo que la fe, como respuesta a la Palabra, se convierta en el nuevo criterio de juicio y apre-ciación de los hombres y las cosas, de los acontecimientos y los problemas.
