What we have in today’s gospel is a reflection of this approach although it took place before Pilate and Herod got together! The Pharisees and the Herodians HATED each other! The Pharisees were strict observers of the Law, they hated the Roman presence and rule and considered the King Herod (who was a descendant of people from Edom and not purely Jewish and definitely not of the Davidic line of kings) to be a false king, a usurper of the Davidic throne and a puppet (which he was) of the Roman Emperor. The Herodians were those who supported King Herod, the Roman presence and whose religious fervor left much to be desired. Yet, for a brief time, they put aside their differences and hatred in order to attack and try to trap Jesus. Our Lord, with His Divine knowledge, sees through their machinations and knows what they are trying to do here. His answer is beyond what either group could have imagined: “Render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God!” Our Lord recognized the civil rights of the Roman ruler but made it clear that GOD HAD SUPERIOR RIGHTS and that should be their focus and attention! We recognize the authority of our civil governments – local, state and national. Their responsibility is to maintain order and allow society to function and thrive in peace. But their rights ARE NOT SUPERIOR TO GOD’S RIGHTS AND LAWS! When government on any level, Executive, Legislative or Judicial, propose, enact or defend laws that are in opposition to God’s Laws, Revealed and Natural and when their actions cause harm or danger to the dignity of human persons, we need to use the means we have by law (peaceful assembly, voting) to express our opposition to these actions. The killing of the unborn or the frail elderly, the attempt to change the Divinely established reality of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, the funding of contraceptive programs and methods in educational and health care settings – these actions violate God’s Laws and should and must be opposed. Render what is lawful and within the rights of a government to expect from its people but RENDER TO GOD THE WITNESS IN WORD AND ACTION OF WHAT ARE HIS RIGHTS – OBEDIENCE TO HIS REVEALED AND NATURAL LAWS and THE DIGNITY 2014 Bishop’s Annual Appeal Life-Changing Faith “Lay people are not merely the clergy’s collaborators, but rather share in the responsibility of the Church’s ministry,” said Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. Through the building of awareness and collaborative relationships, the Office of Parish Leadership Formation exists to recognize, support and resource the gifts of committed lay persons as well as to educate, form and empower them to respond to various needs in the contemporary Church. ! Your gift to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal helps build strong parishes by supporting this vital ministry. ********************************************************** Please join St. Joseph School on Friday, Nov. 7 at 10:00 am, for their annual Veterans’ Day Memorial Service.
