CROSS CURRENTS
Thoughts on a Cathedral Alive
Fr. Joseph L. Waters
Beloved in Christ,
In December 1925 Pope Pius XI wrote the encyclical Quas Primas announcing the annual feast of Christ the King. Consider
his words:
“…these manifold evils in the world were due to the fact that the majority of men had thrust Jesus
Christ and his holy law out of their lives; that these had no place either in private affairs or in politics:
and we said further, that as long as individuals and states refused to submit to the rule of our Savior,
there would be no really hopeful prospect of a lasting peace among nations. Men must look for the
peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ.”
In the wake of the Great War Pope Pius XI placed the solemnity of Christ the King on the Church’s Calendar to encourage
Catholics to seek world peace by promoting Christ’s holy law as the governing force both for private life and politics. Originally to be celebrated on October’s last Sunday; after Vatican II the feast was seen as an apt celebration with which to end
the Liturgical Year. Therefore it was transferred to the Sunday preceding the First Sunday of Advent, the start of a new Year
of Grace.
Pius XI’s ideas ring out with an ever more prophetic urgency today and call upon Catholics --and all persons of good will -to once again remember that only in Christ’s law can peaceful progress for the world’s people be promoted and bear lasting
fruit. In our own daily lives and in our citizenship we must seek that manner of human affairs that corresponds to the Gospel
-centered virtues of truth and love.
World peace is a too fragile reality. Do you remember how in 1999-2000 people spoke about a “peace dividend” resulting
from the end of the Cold War? Unfortunately that peace was short-lived as new global threats filled the void of the old rivalries on 9/11/2001. Today we know there are many hotspots which make peaceful coexistence seem like a far distant
hope. The media is filled with stories of an escalating arms race by the world’s major powers with much reckless saber rattling and posturing. Regional conflicts threaten to destabilize global security and show little progress towards resolution. At
home and abroad our people and interests are jeopardized by radicalized ideologies. Ruthlessly violent fanatics seek a new
world order through intimidation. At home racial tensions still threaten to burst into civil unrest; family life is too often tumultuous and conflicts unresolved lead to long periods of estrangement and domestic violence. At our borders the huddled
masses who were once welcomed are now leading to deep divisions in our citizenry and threatening our political system’s
viability. The healthy equilibrium between domestic tranquility and global leadership is harder to sustain after two lengthy
wars and ongoing threats to the homeland. The global economy is limping along after a deep recession and an all too thin
recovery. Partisan divisions detour us from clear pathways to the common good.
In such a world, can we risk keeping Christ out of our politics or out of our private lives? I believe --like Pope Pius XI --we
must recognize that faith needs to shape our conscience and the Law of Christ is our only sure guide to a more peaceful existence and greater security. When the Church speaks out about religious liberty it is not merely to gain ground on certain
pet issues; rather it is a reminding all people that authentic faith in Christ is the source of the true wisdom needed for the
betterment of private lives and the progress of the world’s peoples. If the voices of people of faith are muted, then where will
we find the ideas for solving the world’s many troubles? On this feast of Christ the King let us pray for many more loyal
subjects who, having heard the call of the King, serve the cause of peace both in individual hearts and between peoples and
nations.
Long live Christ the King—Fr.
Waters
Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

December 3rd our 2nd Grade students
will have their 1st Reconciliation in the
Cathedral. Exposition of the Blessed
Sacrament will end at 5:00pm. There
will be no benediction.
Second graders had an awesome first quarter! I am very proud of them
all. They are learning the importance of being organized and responsible.
They have become very comfortable with the classroom procedures and
they continue to work on “Being the Best They Can Be”.
The students created a book banner on their favorite saint. Each student
came to school dressed as their saint in honor of All Saints Day. They enthusiastically shared their banner with their classmates. It was a wonderful learning opportunity for all. Stop by to see the saint banners hanging
in the hall.
The class attended a delightful performance of Flat Stanley at the Mahaffey Theater. Experiencing this familiar story come to life on stage was
very exciting for all!
We have begun preparing for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The students are looking forward to receiving the Sacrament on December 3rd.
