I pledge myself, as a citizen and Knight of Columbus, to enlighten myself fully on my duties as a citizen and to conscientiously perform such duties entirely in the interest of my country and regardless of personal consequences. I pledge myself to do all in my power to preserve the integrity and purity of the ballot and to promote reverence and respect for law and order.

Oath of the Knights of Columbus. The Parish School Department views with laudable pride the effective assistance of the Catholic elementary school system in every activity designed to plant in the lives of school children, a deeper and holier appreciation of the privileges and dignity of American citizenship. Conscious, too, of the effects of a sound moral training under religious sanction, it rejoices in the unfailing contributions which Catholic education is continually making to preserve our national ideals in the minds and hearts of our future citizens.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catholics and Citizenship, And, the Influence of Women in Catholic Ireland We are blessed to see the day for which others fought and prayed. Whatever may be said regarding certain re strictions in our Constitution, the broad fact remains, clear as the light of day, that our civil authorities, from the President to the. Humblest member of the guard, are our very own. We must, then, exorcise the old spirit which prompted us to despise, outwit, oppose, harass the representatives of civil authority. We have rulers now whom we cannot but regard as lawful, and we must learn to cultivate towards them that spirit of reverence and honour which the Apostle commands. They have heavy burdens to' bear, and should have our sympathy and cc operation as well as our respect. Helpful criticism is whole some; but in speaking or writing we should remember that we are dealing with men who wield the authority given them by God.

Download or read book We Hold These Truths written by John Courtney Murray and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960 publication of We Hold These Truths marked a significant event in the history of modern American thought. Since that time, Sheed & Ward has kept the book in print and has published several studies of John Courtney Murray's life and work. We are proud to present a new edition of this classic text, which features a comprehensive introduction by Peter Lawler that places Murray in the context of Catholic and American history and thought while revealing his relevance today. From the new Introduction by Peter Lawler: The Jesuit John Courtney Murray (1904-67) was, in his time, probably the best known and most widely respected American Catholic writer on the relationship between Catholic philosophy and theology and his country's political life. The highpoint of his influence was the publication of We Hold These Truths in the same year as an election of our country's first Catholic president. Those two events were celebrated by a Time cover story (December 12, 1960) on Murray's work and influence. The story's author, Protestant Douglas Auchincloss, reported that it was "The most relentlessly intellectual cover story I've done." His amazingly wide ranging and dense--if not altogether accurate--account of Murray's thought was crowned with a smart and pointed conclusion: "If anyone can help U.S. Catholics and their non-Catholic countrymen toward the disagreement that precedes understanding--John Courtney Murray can." . . . Murray's work, of course, is treated with great respect and has had considerable influence, but now it's time to begin to think of him as one of America's very few genuine political philosophers. His disarmingly lucid and accessible prose has caused his book to be widely cited and celebrated, but it still is not well understood. It is both praised and blamed for reconciling Catholic faith with the fundamental premises of American political life. It is praised by liberals for paving the way for Vatican II's embrace of the American idea of religious liberty, and it is

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic World, Vol. 94: October, 1911 There can be no doubt that many people in this country, intelligent and fair-minded in other respects, have very in accurate and inadequate notions regarding the Church. With an imperfect knowledge of her history they Often combine a settled conviction that at some time or times more or less remote she abandoned the doctrine of the earliest days and gradually replaced it with the baseless traditions Of men and the complexities of theological systems. It would almost seem that in their: judgment the Church had not only grown with the centuries, but also that she had outgrown the original truth Of the Gospel and had over-adapted her teaching to the requirements of human speculation. Such misunderstandings, of course, are dealt with at length and the historical truth set forth in numberless books of theology. Non-catholic scholar ship also has made it easy to trace to the primitive Church the doctrines that are held by the Church Of to-day. But neither dogmatic treatises nor the fruits of patristic research will come to the knowledge of the many unless they be cast in a form at once simple and attractive. Truth is meant to save men, not to frighten or turn them away. The light falls gently. Hard sayings can be softened by the zeal to win. And charity is certainly a true witness to the faith Of our fathers. NO other method would avail to meet the needs of our generation, and none could prove more clearly that our Catholic belief has handed on with ever increasing value our Christian heritage.

Download or read book Why I Am a Catholic Classic Reprint written by John H. Fasy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why I Am a Catholic And what do men commonly understand by religion? To all, it means in some way or other the relations that exist between God and man. Man's religious convictions mean those views which he holds with regard to who and what God is, with regard to God's nature, with regard to how God has acted respecting himself and the world of his fellowmen. They mean his views with regard to what God's wishes may be, if He has any such wishes, respect ing man's actions during this life and as to what God's plan may be, if any, respecting man's future life. All those views, all those convictions, constitute what we call man's religious belief. Further, religious convictions embrace a man's opinions as to his own nature and destiny. Has his life and being come from the hand of God, or is it in its existence quite independent and altogether self-sufficient? Is that living, vital principle within man which we call the soul to live forever or is it to cease to exist at the moment of the body's death? A man's answers to questions like these constitute his religious convictions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Life of Grace-the Sacraments Because he is a Catholic he fulfils his duties towards himself by living the supernatural life of Faith, Hope and. Charity. Durmg that life he will be, of necessity, a just man in his relations with others; a pure man, to whom infidelity is unknown; and a law - abiding citizen. And such a man, while' rendering unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, will also render unto God' the adora tion and homage that are born of religion. All of this is the elemental teaching of the Catho lic Church, and every true child of the Church is aworthy child of the age he lives in and of the coun try which gives him birth. N 0 true Catholic will be unmindful of those facts; neither will he be for getful that as love, reverence, help and obedience must be shown first of all to the parents who have given him life, so, too, Love, Loyalty, Reverence, Help and Obedience are demanded of him by ithe Church which has given him life eternal here on earth. The Catholic Church is our Mother; She has borne us within her bosom; nourished us at her breasts; taught us; guided our faltering steps through life, and has protected us against our enemies, saved us even from ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Acta Et Dicta, Vol. 5: A Collection of Historical Data Regarding the Origin and Growth of the Catholic Church in the Northwest; July, 1918 Thus ended the earthly career of the first Bishop of Duluth, a prelate of scholarly attainments, deep-seated piety and whole souled devotion to the Church which he had served so faithfully during the fifty years of his consecrated life. As a citizen he yielded to no man in his patriotic devotion to the land of his adoption. For more than twenty years he was one of the lead ing citizens of Minneapolis, who helped to lay the foundation of its civic greatness. On his arrival in Duluth, in 1890, he at once identified himself with every movement that was for the public welfare, for the civic and material progress of that nascent city. Until the day of his death he labored indefatigably for the civic betterment, the material progress, and the spiritual upbuilding of its citizenship, and won the respect and admiration of all with out regard to class, creed or nationality. In his death Duluth sustains no ordinary loss, for Bishop mcgolrick was a man of lofty ideals, of intense patriotism, of a deeply religious nature, and in all respects, whether as a citizen or Bishop, he measured up to the loftiest ideals of true greatness. He was the friend of all: enemies he had none, for no one who came in contact with his charming personality could harbor resentment toward him, however unjustified it might be. His sympathy and Christian charity impressed all without exception. He loved, in a special manner, little children and the poor, and no cry of distress ever fell unheeded on his ear.
