ALL SOULS DAY
~ALL SOULS DAY ENVELOPES~
The month of November is traditionally the month we remember our beloved dead. This memorial begins on All
Souls Day (11/2) and continues throughout the rest of the
month of November. All Souls Day reminds us that we are
a Church of community. We are the Church Militant here
on earth because we are still waging the fight. The saints in
heaven, whom we honor on All Saints Day, constitute the
Church Triumphant. On All Souls Day, we remember and
pray for the Church Suffering (Purgatory). Be sure to turn
in your envelopes with names of loved ones to be remembered at all Masses during the month of November. For
those who do not receive envelopes, you will soon find special envelopes available in the church. Please fill them out
and return as soon as possible.

2016. The cost of $3,699.00 includes airfare, 4 Star hotel,

~CANDLE LIGHT LIVING ROSARY~
You are invited to attend the 30th Annual Candlelight Living
Rosary for Life on Friday, October 16, at 7:00 pm at St. Eugene's Cathedral. The rosary has always been a prayer for
peace and a meditation on Jesus and Mary as they appear in
the Gospels. This is an opportunity to pray the rosary in a
group, in a beautiful candle-lit setting here in the Cathedral.
This year we will be supporting mothers and babies at Catholic Charites. Please bring an item to donate. An ice cream
social with ice cream bars from Fruta and homemade cookies
will follow the event. Flyers are in the vestibules.
~INSTALLED ACOLYTES~
We are proud to tell you that the Diocese of Santa Rosa will
be installing 18 men from the Cathedral of St. Eugene, as
well as men from other parishes, to the office of Installed
Acolyte later this month. This office for lay men was created
by Pope Paul VI for parish service. The functions of altar
servers and of EMHCs are both taken from duties of an Acolyte. However, there are things that an Acolyte can do that
an EMHC cannot, such as purifying the vessels during or
after Mass, setting the altar before the preparation of the
gifts (in the absence of a deacon) and exposing and reposing
the Holy Eucharist. Just as priests or deacons should distribute Holy Communion if present, in preference to all others,
the Acolyte should be first chosen among the laity for that
task when pastoral necessity requires it. We congratulate
our soon-to-be installed Acolytes and are grateful for the
service they will give to our Lord and His Church.
RESPECT LIFE
~RESPECT LIFE MONTH~
Quotes from the USCCB: “Your support might be the only
support she receives, ...You can make a difference in her life.
Some simple things you can do are letting her know that you
care and are always ready to listen, that you are available to
help her, that you are praying for her--can give hope and
courage when she might otherwise feel alone. We never
know how the smallest things we do can change someone's
life. Also, for parents of special needs children, the beauty of
parenting is that you aren't given a child with a disability.
You are given your child with a disability. It's like looking at
a stained-glass window from the outside: The colors look
dark, and you can't quite make out the figures. From the
inside, however, with the sun shining through it, the effect
can be brilliant. Perhaps this is why so many families of children with disabilities, despite difficulties, often radiate joy.”
CATEDRAL DE ST. EUGENE’S – 11 de Octubre del 2015
Vigésimo Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
PARA LA PARTICIPACION EN LA MISA
CREDO
Creo en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del
cielo y de la tierra, de todo lo visible y lo invisible.
Creo en un solo Señor, Jesucristo, Hijo único de Dios, nacido del Padre antes de todos los siglos: Dios de Dios, Luz
de Luz, Dios verdadero de Dios verdadero, engendrado,
no creado, de la misma naturaleza del Padre, por quien
todo fue hecho; Que por nosotros lo hombres, y por nuestra salvación bajó del cielo, Y por obra del Espíritu Santo
se encarnó de María la Virgen, y se hizo hombre; Y por
nuestra causa fue crucificado en tiempos de Poncio Pilato;
padeció y fue sepultado, Y resucitó al tercer día, según las
Escrituras, y subió al cielo, y está sentado a la derecha del
Padre; Y de nuevo vendrá con gloria para juzgar a vivos y
muertos, y su reino no tendrá fin.
Creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida, que procede del Padre y del Hijo, Que con el Padre y el Hijo recibe una misma adoración y gloria, y que habló por los profetas. Creo en la Iglesia, que es una, santa, católica y apostólica. Confieso que hay un solo Bautismo para el perdón
de los pecados. Espero la resurrección de los muertos y la
vida del mundo futuro. Amén.
Desde el Escritorio del P. Roa:
Sínodo de los Obispos en Roma (Parte I)
En la Ciudad Eterna se está celebrando un sínodo sobre la familia. Lamentablemente los medios de comunicación
no saben que es lo que está pasando y están ofreciendo pobre o
incorrecta información. Debido a esta situación nuestro obispo,
Monseñor Roberto Vasa, y dos otros obispos escribieron un
pequeño documento en el cual presentan el correcto significado
del sínodo. A continuación se presenta parte de este documento.
– I – El Sínodo de los obispos y su autoridad
1a PREGUNTA: ¿Qué es el Sínodo de los obispos?
RESPUESTA: El Sínodo de los obispos es una institución permanente de la Iglesia Católica, creada por el Papa Paulo VI a
través del Motu Proprio Apostolica sollicitudo (15 de septiembre de 1965), con el fin de ayudar con sus consejos al Papa en el
gobierno de la Iglesia universal, para realizar la mayor
“colegialidad” prevista por el Concilio Vaticano II. El Sínodo
es convocado por el Papa y se reúne de tres formas: asamblea
general ordinaria, asamblea general extraordinaria y asamblea
especial.
2ª PREGUNTA: ¿Tienen valor magisterial las conclusiones del
Sínodo de los obispos y son, por tanto, vinculantes para los
fieles?
RESPUESTA: El Sínodo es una asamblea sólo consultiva, sin
valor de Magisterio. En relación a su poder deliberativo, lo recibe sólo si y cuando es concedido por el Papa, como cualquier
otra asamblea. Sin embargo, como regla general, el Papa recoge
ideas de las conclusiones del Sínodo para publicar una Exhortación apostólica post-sinodal, la cual propone las conclusiones
del Sínodo a toda la Iglesia.
3a PREGUNTA: ¿Puede el Sínodo de los obispos alterar la
doctrina de la Iglesia en puntos doctrinales de teología moral?
RESPUESTA: Ni el Sínodo de los obispos, ni cualquier otra
instancia eclesiástica, tiene autoridad para cambiar la doctrina
de la Iglesia. “La Iglesia no ha sido la autora de éstas, ni puede
por tanto ser su árbitro, sino solamente su depositaria e intérprete, sin poder jamás declarar lícito lo que no lo es por su íntima e
inmutable oposición al verdadero bien del hombre” (B. Pablo
VI, Humanæ Vitæ, 25 de julio de 1968, n° 18). “...una doctrina
que ha sido enseñada durante siglos y continuamente reafirmada por la Iglesia no puede ser cambiada sin arriesgar la credibilidad de la Iglesia”. (Card. Velasio De Paolis, Los divorciados
vueltos a casar y los Sacramentos de la Eucaristía y de la Penitencia, discurso en el Tribunal Eclesiástico Regional Umbro,
8/1/2015).
4a PREGUNTA: Si no el Sínodo, ¿puede por lo menos el Papa
alterar la doctrina de la Iglesia en puntos fundamentales de teología moral, como por ejemplo, el matrimonio sacramental?
RESPUESTA: Muchos puntos fundamentales de teología moral, como por ejemplo la doctrina sobre el matrimonio sacramental, son de autoridad divina directa, y por tanto no pueden
ser alterados por ninguna autoridad eclesiástica, ni siquiera por
el Sumo Pontífice. “Así pues, se deduce claramente que el Magisterio de la Iglesia enseña la no extensión de la potestad del
Romano Pontífice a los matrimonios sacramentales ratos y consumados como doctrina que se ha de considerar definitiva...” (S.
Juan Pablo II, discurso de 21/1/2000 al Tribunal de la Rota Romana, nº 8)
5a PREGUNTA: Si no la doctrina, ¿puede por lo menos la disciplina de la Iglesia en materia de matrimonio y de familia, ser
alterada por el Sínodo?
RESPUESTA: El Sínodo no tiene autoridad para alterar la disciplina de la Iglesia en materia de matrimonio y de familia. Solamente el Romano Pontífice puede hacerlo, y en todo caso
siempre en coherencia con la Verdad revelada y para la salvación de las almas. “Por cuanto dice respecto a la disciplina, ésta
no se puede considerar una realidad simplemente humana y
cambiable, sino que tiene un significado mucho más amplio; la
disciplina comprende también la ley divina como los mandamientos, que no están sujetos a cambio alguno, a pesar de no
ser directamente de naturaleza doctrinal, y lo mismo se diga de
todas las normas de derecho divino. La disciplina, a menudo
comprende todo aquello que el cristiano debe considerar como
compromiso de su vida para ser un fiel discípulo de nuestro
Señor Jesucristo.” (Card. Velasio De Paolis, Los divorciados
vueltos a casar y los Sacramentos de la Eucaristía y de la Penitencia, Discurso cit., p.29).
6a PREGUNTA: Sea como fuere, algunos sostienen que el Papa no convocó dos Sínodos sobre la familia para confirmar lo
existente. ¿Estamos entonces en la víspera de un giro pastoral
absoluto?
RESPUESTA: Si es verdad que no se convoca un Sínodo sólo
para confirmar una doctrina, no se puede convocarlo tampoco
para debilitarla. Por el contrario, se debe evitar que ciertas corrientes hagan propuestas pastorales que contradigan la doctrina
católica o que endosen un lenguaje ambiguo que oculta los verdaderos problemas y las soluciones adecuadas.
