I am writ<strong>in</strong>g this reflection on Wednesday, the day<br />
of rul<strong>in</strong>gs by the Supreme Court of the United <strong>St</strong>ates<br />
(SCOTUS) on several issues related to grant<strong>in</strong>g legal<br />
marital status to same-sex couples. Essentially, it<br />
appears that the Court has done several th<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
today:<br />
• <strong>St</strong>ruck down California’s proposition 8 law which<br />
was enacted by popular referendum but found to be<br />
unconstitutional by a court <strong>in</strong> that state. The<br />
SCOTUS found that Prop 8 was illegal because those<br />
that put forward the referendum (private citizens)<br />
had no stand<strong>in</strong>g to do so. The Court did not rule on<br />
the merits of same-sex marriage.<br />
• The SCOTUS held that <strong>in</strong> states that have given<br />
legal status to same-sex marriage, there can be no<br />
denial at the federal, state or local level of the<br />
benefits due to heterosexual<br />
married couples (this is where<br />
the SCOTUS struck down parts<br />
of the federal Defense of<br />
Marriage Act [DOMA]).<br />
• The SCOTUS decl<strong>in</strong>ed to declare same-sex<br />
marriage a fundamental right and affirmed states’<br />
rights to def<strong>in</strong>e marriage (but apparently this can<br />
only be done <strong>in</strong> states by legislatures and courts, not<br />
citizens vot<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a referendum).<br />
• The Court left <strong>in</strong>tact a provision with<strong>in</strong> DOMA<br />
allow<strong>in</strong>g for states not to recognize the legal status<br />
of same-sex marriages performed <strong>in</strong> other states.<br />
Reflections from Fr. David<br />
Big News this week from<br />
the Supreme Court<br />
there have yet to be statements issued by either<br />
Bishop Conlon or Card<strong>in</strong>al George.<br />
As you likely know, I am a strong advocate of our<br />
Church’s teach<strong>in</strong>g on the value and <strong>in</strong>tegrity of all<br />
persons, regard<strong>in</strong>g of issues of sexual preferences.<br />
All people are created by God, they are our neighbors<br />
to be loved (as <strong>in</strong>structed by the Lord) and many are<br />
our brothers and sisters <strong>in</strong> faith to be treasured.<br />
But what is go<strong>in</strong>g on with issues of marriage is<br />
breathtak<strong>in</strong>g both <strong>in</strong> its rapidity and <strong>in</strong> its scope and<br />
ambition.<br />
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel recently described<br />
the push for legalization of same-sex marriage as<br />
“... a long journey that we’ve been [on] as a<br />
country…” However much I might like the mayor<br />
of my hometown, his statement is a false<br />
description. What is happen<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong> our nation is not part of a<br />
long journey but rather like a<br />
tsunami of political action that<br />
has come not from considered<br />
public discourse. Instead there has been great social<br />
pressure to put the agenda forward for legalization<br />
of same-sex marriage.<br />
Many people <strong>in</strong> our nation and others disagree with<br />
this trend. Many people with<strong>in</strong> our Church<br />
disagree, too. And to disagree is not to hate! The<br />
demand that all people th<strong>in</strong>k the same without<br />
allow<strong>in</strong>g for true discussion and diversity of op<strong>in</strong>ion<br />
is not part of a truly democratic society.<br />
As you can imag<strong>in</strong>e, the response from the Bishops<br />
of our nation has been one of deep disappo<strong>in</strong>tment.<br />
Card<strong>in</strong>al Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York<br />
and President of the United <strong>St</strong>ates Conference of<br />
Catholic Bishops, said: “Today is a tragic day for<br />
marriage and our nation...The Court got it wrong.<br />
The federal government ought to respect the truth<br />
that marriage is the union of one man and one<br />
woman, even where states fail to do so...The<br />
common good of all, especially our children,<br />
depends upon a society that strives to uphold the<br />
truth of marriage. Now is the time to redouble our<br />
efforts to witness to this truth…” As of this writ<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
Among my many reasons for concern is the trend <strong>in</strong><br />
our nation and others (notably the United K<strong>in</strong>gdom)<br />
that, <strong>in</strong> legaliz<strong>in</strong>g same-sex marriage, adultery laws<br />
are either be<strong>in</strong>g abandoned all together (as a<br />
grounds for divorce) or adultery is def<strong>in</strong>ed as sexual<br />
contact by a married person with someone not their<br />
spouse who is of the opposite gender! Is this marriage<br />
equality? Only heterosexuals can commit adultery?!<br />
This is not about marriage equality but rather an<br />
effort directed toward the total rework<strong>in</strong>g of our<br />
society’s understand<strong>in</strong>g of appropriate<br />
relationships, values and boundaries. It is a tragedy<br />
that most people do not really understand this.<br />

God’s Top Ten List<br />
by Ernie Basile<br />
It dawned on me the other day that God has boiled down to ten all the th<strong>in</strong>gs He wants us to do or to<br />
avoid - His top 10. He gave the list to Moses, and they were written <strong>in</strong> stone, so we know this is serious<br />
bus<strong>in</strong>ess. It also dawned on me that one of these top 10 Commandments given to us by our creator is<br />
"Honor your father and your mother." I don't remember ever hear<strong>in</strong>g a homily or read<strong>in</strong>g an article on<br />
this subject. What does it really mean to honor our parents, especially after we have grown up?<br />
Obviously, our relationship with our parents shifts as we grow older. At first we are totally dependent<br />
upon them, and obedience and respect are primary. But as we mature and become adults ourselves, our<br />
relationship takes on the quality of friends. We share more as equals, and learn to make our own<br />
decisions as our parents learn to let go and see us go our own way. As life progresses, we often see the<br />
parent/child relationship shift once aga<strong>in</strong>, as an ag<strong>in</strong>g mother or father loses <strong>in</strong>dependence, and their<br />
offspr<strong>in</strong>g take on more tasks, decisions, and leadership. These are not easy waters to navigate. S<strong>in</strong>ce no<br />
family is perfect, there will be a lot of stumbl<strong>in</strong>g, go<strong>in</strong>g back to old patterns of relat<strong>in</strong>g, a process of trial<br />
and error. For those who are <strong>in</strong> the "sandwich generation" - those who are still rais<strong>in</strong>g a family but now<br />
are also tend<strong>in</strong>g to their ag<strong>in</strong>g parents more and more - fulfill<strong>in</strong>g the 4th commandment can be a<br />
challenge to say the least.<br />
Mother Teresa once said that she was struck by the lonel<strong>in</strong>ess so common <strong>in</strong> our American society. This<br />
lonel<strong>in</strong>ess exists at all ages, but she saw it especially <strong>in</strong> the elderly. It seems that what the elderly need<br />
most is simply the gift of presence, company, "be<strong>in</strong>g there." In our task-oriented society which is successdirected,<br />
performance-driven; where time is money and multi-task<strong>in</strong>g a necessity, just be<strong>in</strong>g with<br />
someone is not as easy as it sounds. We seem to have lost that art to a great degree.<br />
Psychology tells us that older people <strong>in</strong>st<strong>in</strong>ctively like to rem<strong>in</strong>isce, to talk about the past, to do what is<br />
called a "life review." If they have someone who is able to be truly present and to listen as they tell their<br />
story, often accompanied by look<strong>in</strong>g at old photos, then these older persons have received a true gift.<br />
What we are giv<strong>in</strong>g them is not just someth<strong>in</strong>g they f<strong>in</strong>d pleasant to do, but a real opportunity to advance<br />
their own spiritual growth. Each stage of life has a special challenge which we must meet if we are to<br />
grow psychologically and advance to the next stage. The life challenge of our older years, the last stage, is<br />
to <strong>in</strong>tegrate all of our life experiences, to f<strong>in</strong>d mean<strong>in</strong>g and understand<strong>in</strong>g of what our life was about. For<br />
us who believe, this means see<strong>in</strong>g the presence of God <strong>in</strong> all the turns <strong>in</strong> our journey, see<strong>in</strong>g how He was<br />
there <strong>in</strong> our successes and failures, <strong>in</strong> the peaks and the valleys.<br />
If we have elderly parents, spend<strong>in</strong>g time with them as they rem<strong>in</strong>isce, listen<strong>in</strong>g to their story, is one of<br />
the most valuable gifts we can give them; one precious way of honor<strong>in</strong>g our mother and father. And after<br />
all, this is one of God's top 10.<br />

Erick Erickson, a developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst, suggests that we develop over our life<br />

books are <strong>in</strong> most libraries.<br />

Prayer to End Abortion<br />
Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life, and for the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know<br />
there is noth<strong>in</strong>g that destroys more life than abortion, yet I rejoice that you have conquered death by the<br />
Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part <strong>in</strong> end<strong>in</strong>g abortion. Today I commit myself never to<br />
be silent, never to be passive, never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active <strong>in</strong> the prolife<br />
movement, and never to stop defend<strong>in</strong>g life until all my brothers and sisters are protected, and our<br />
nation once aga<strong>in</strong> becomes a nation with liberty and justice not just for some, but for all, through Christ<br />
our Lord, Amen!<br />
