HOMILY

PROFESSION OF FAITH Stand I believe in one God, the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,

All bow while saying:

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Give unto the Lord, o ye kindres of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name: bring an offering, and come into His courts. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before Him, all the earth. say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: He shall judge the people righteous-ly. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

“JUST THE FACTS, MA’AM” CIVILITY AND TRUTH IN PERIL

The juxtaposition could not have been more stark. I had just returned to the rectory from attending a delightful produc-tion of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Saint Agnes School, when I turned on the television to catch the post mortem of the annual White House Correspondents Din-ner. The musical was extremely well-done, entertaining and joyous, involving kids of all ages from the K-12 school. The

White House Correspondents Dinner? Had I been home watching, I surely would have changed the channel in disgust; I’ve become a channel flipper, too bored with the banality of cable news to remain focused. Sur-prisingly, the usual suspects– CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, each with its own perspective– were substantially in agreement. When I tuned in, CNN anchor John Berman appeared very serious, following what is billed as an evening of media frivolity. I instantly surmised that something had to have happened. When he candidly explained that much of what the headliner had said was vulgar, I merely shook my head. Has it come to this?

In the following days, pundits predictably opined: “Relax, it’s comedy.” (So, comedy is at its core vulgar?) “Comedians are supposed to be edgy.” (They can’t be clever, funny and clean?) or “Well, Donald Trump got a taste of his own medicine.” (Since when do two wrongs equal a right?) to name but a few. Each missed the point. It is not about whether comedy is supposed to be edgy, but about the central question of the media’s role in our Re-public. Do we really want White House correspondents participating in “knock-knock” joke bits at an event crudely critical of the President? The WHCD is an ill-fitting garment from a bygone era. Begun in 1921 for a mere 50 journalists, it has morphed into a gala for 3000 red-carpet walking “celebrities” from inside the Beltway. Enough!

Derived from the European concept of the three estates (clergy, nobility and commoners), the media comprise the so-called “fourth estate.” They ostensibly fulfill the objective functions of seeking the truth and reporting it accurately, so that the people may draw their own conclusions. That function largely ended with the advent of a 24-hour cable news cycle. I am old enough to recall both a morning and an evening newspaper arriving on our front step. We relied on print media and the 5:30 p.m. national news to keep us informed. Television stations shut down late at night, and we early risers could catch the Star-Spangled Banner at the dawn of a new broadcast day. Okay, enough of nostalgia. But we considered the news to be objective, while commentators interpreted the facts. By any objective standard, that distinction has all but vanished.

In January, the Gallup/Knight Foundation issued a report on “trust, media and democracy” that ran over 70 pages. Among its findings gleaned from the extensive surveys that comprised the research, was the fact that while eight in ten Americans believe the news media are “critical” or “very im-portant” to our democracy, only 44% of Americans surveyed could name a news source that “reports the news objectively.” Do you think a survey would have yielded the same data when Walter Cronkite was delivering the evening news? More Americans have a negative (43%) than a positive (33%) view of the news media, while 23% are neutral. The Associated Press arguably has the most stringent guidelines for sourcing and double-checking facts before reporting. Most networks resisted jumping ahead of the AP, for fear of being wrong. Recall the 2000 Presidential Election and the results from Florida? NBC was the first network to make the wrong call at 7:50 EST, even before the FL panhandle had finished voting.

“We don’t just have egg on our face,” NBC's Tom Brokaw lamented. “We have an omelette.” NBC desperately wanted to be the first to make the call.

Original research has taken a hit, as people derive their news from Google searches and Wikipedia articles. My “Pet Peeve” alert– when people pro-duce quotations from saints that contain no sources, be suspicious! Such quotations are all over the internet, lacking any citation. “He who sings prays twice,” is often attributed to St. Augustine. Trouble is, he never wrote “Qui cantat bis orat.” Even the Catechism of the Catholic Church got it wrong, referencing Augustine in its footnote. In that citation from Exposi-tion on Psalm 72(73) he actually wrote: “In praise, there is the speaking forth of one confessing; in singing, the affection of one loving.” I agree 100%, but he never wrote that singing is “praying twice” in that work.

The Vatican’s annual message for Social Communications derided “fake

news” and rightly so. But less than two months later, the Monsignor who oversaw the Secretariat for Communications resigned amidst the scandal over doctoring a photo of a private letter sent by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, who had graciously declined to offer a review of a series of books, expressing surprise that one of its authors had even “led anti-papal initia-tives.” The Monsignor inexplicably chose to omit that fact while simultane-ously implying the former pontiff ’s endorsement at a News Conference. The truth always takes a hit when our own biases get in the way. I too have fallen into this error. It is plain hard to be completely objective, as we all view the world through a lens. And yet, journalism strives to be objective by its very constitution. But I digress.

With a hat tip to Sgt. Joe Friday, the facts matter. If journalists value objec-tivity in seeking to provide a critically important service to humanity, then they need to examine their consciences. They must strive to present facts and let the people draw conclusions. Instead, the White House Press Corps invited a foul-mouthed comedienne, whom they had to know employs in-sults as her shtick, and then distanced themselves in the aftermath when their plan backfired. Civility has become an endangered species, with many preferring instead to score cheap points at the expense of the dignity of others. In a pluralistic society, there will always be disagreements. That is at the heart of democracy. But rudeness ought to have no place, especially under the guise of protected speech in an event designed to bring people together to celebrate the place of journalism.

· Today’s annual Rosary Procession is a visible witness to the powerful intercession of Mary in our lives and in our families. Gather with Bishop Cozzens at 1:30 p.m. at the Capitol. The procession to the Cathedral begins promptly at 2:00 p.m. All are invited.

· For two years, ISIS occupying forces near Aleppo, Syria paid little attention to a mound of land where they dumped trash. In fact, it hid a tunnel to an early Christian underground Church with crosses carved into walls and geometric designs consistent with the Roman era. Thankfully, ISIS militants were not curious– they surely would have destroyed it. Vatican researchers may even be dispatched to as-sist in inspecting the ruins, believed to be from the early 4th century.

· While I appreciate your positive feedback to my column in last week’s bulletin (Puerto Rico outreach), the thanks belongs to all of you. Your concern for others is a large part of why it such a joy to be here.

Sincerely in Christ,

Fr. John L. Ubel,

Rector

VOICES FROM THE ARCHIVES

Father John Ireland. . .

John Ireland left France in 1861 to return to the Diocese of Saint Paul after eight years in the seminaries of Meximieux and Montbel. At Montbel he received minor orders and was ordained to the diaconate by the Bishop of Frejus, in whose diocese Montbel was located.

Saint Paul, now the Capitol of the State of Minnesota, was a very differ-ent city from the one Ireland left in 1853. Its population had grown to eleven thousand. There were stores and shops on the main street. “There were more than a thousand steamboat dockings, and large volumes of freight moved on and off its busy wharves.” There was now a capitol building, a city hall, a jail, “a dozen more churches, and—thanks to the Sisters of St. Joseph—a hospital.”

Deacon John Ireland reported to his bishop, Thomas Langdon Grace, the successor of Bishop Joseph Cretin. “Ireland was soon settled into rooms in the three-storied clergy residence next to the Cathedral on West Sixth Street . . . there to await Grace’s pleasure with regard to ordination to the priesthood and assignment.”

Bishop Grace put Ireland to work as his part-time secretary. It gave him time to judge Deacon Ireland’s intellectual, moral, and liturgical prepara-tion for the priesthood. Grace set the date for Ireland’s ordination, the fourth Sunday of Advent, December 22, 1861.

Marvin O’Connell described the young Father John Ireland: “He stood about five feet nine inches tall. He had a lanky, big-boned frame. . . . His coarse black hair, parted on the left side, grew thick over the tops of his ears and around the nape of his neck. [He had] slate-colored eyes, a wide, severe mouth . . . a jutting jaw line, high, angular cheek bones. These combined to give his face an expression perpetually alert or even wary. He employed quick gestures reminiscent of his father’s. . . . The most memorable physical characteristic . . . was his voice: vibrant, resonant, powerful enough to be heard in the farthest corner of the largest hall, honeyed thunder sometimes, and sometimes a throaty growl, but always loud, dominant, moving.”

Excerpts from John Ireland and the American Catholic Church, by Marvin O’Connell.

Note: Newly ordained Father John Ireland recorded his first Baptism on December 23, 1861, the day after his ordination. You can see his signa-ture in the Cathedral Baptismal Record for 1861 now on exhibit in the Cathedral museum. ACSP.

Museum Hours. The museum will be open today after the 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. Masses. Take time to view the exhibit in Hayden Hall with a cup of coffee and a donut—and stop in the museum to view documents and artifacts. The museum will be open during the week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 12:00 - 3:00 p.m. Volunteers are needed to fill in Sunday and weekday museum hours. Contact ar-chives@cathedralsaintpaul.org if you can help keep the museum open for the John Ireland/100 exhibit.

Around the upper portion of the half dome of the Sanc-tuary are painted seven angels, each hold a shield on which is represented one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. The gift depicted on the cover is that of Wisdom “Sapientia” that enables Christians to be detached from earthly things to desire and love the things of heaven alone. The angel is holding a shield on which is painted a torch, perhaps symbolizing Jesus Christ as the light of the world, surrounded by the fluers-de-lis. The ceiling paint-ing was carried out under the direction of the Boston firm of Pennell, Gibbs and Quiring in 1920.
