BISHOP LaVALLEY DISAPPOINTED

Picture

Bishop Terry R. LaValley expressed disappointment at the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that gay marriage is a right guaranteed by the Constitution,

In a statement dated June 26, 2015, the day that the decision was handed down, Bishop LaValley said:
The U.S. Supreme Court issued a long-awaited decision, ruling that the Constitution guarantees a nationwide right to same-sex marriage. Regardless of the legal gymnastics that five of the nine jurists performed, no one can change what marriage really is. Divine law always trumps civil law. Marriage is the intimate partnership of life and love between one man and one woman, for the good of the spouses and for the procreation and education of children. Without this basic understanding of what marriage is, there is no limit to what “marriage” could mean.
Redefining marriage in the civil law teaches that one sex is interchangeable with the other, and that either a mother or a father is dispensable as a parent. It teaches that marriage is whatever consenting adults say it is. Protecting marriage matters to everyone. Mothers and fathers are irreplaceable, not interchangeable. Unjust discrimination is wrong, always wrong. However, treating differently that which is different is not unjust discrimination.
It’s no secret, the world at large is not eager to accept what the Church has to say. But our courts are not the ultimate arbiters of truth and that truth cannot be measured based on public opinion, even if it appears prevailing. Fidelity to the divine law is always, always the “loving thing to do.” Our mission is to inform and transform a world that seems, in so many ways, bent on succumbing to a philosophy of life that is at odds with God’s law.
The redefinition of legal marriage has serious consequences, especially for religious freedom. It changes every law involving marital status, requiring that other relationships be treated as if they were the same as the marital relationship of a man and a woman. No person or community, including religious organizations and individuals of faith, should be forced to accept this redefinition. For many of us, accepting a redefinition of marriage would be to act against our conscience and to deny our religious beliefs and moral convictions. Government should protect these convictions and beliefs without fear of intimidation or unwarranted charges that our values imply bigotry or hatred of others.
The majority opinion indicated that “those who adhere to religious doctrines may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned.” The five justices ruled that “the First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths.” We intend to exercise that First Amendment right to the fullest extent possible because this Court decision will not stop public dialogue.
Surely, we are disheartened and disappointed, but not deterred. We shall increase our efforts to strengthen marriages and families and to rebuild a marriage culture for the sake of our children. Motivated by the truth and strengthened through prayer, we will continue to follow Jesus who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. We are hope-filled because we are Christ-led and Christ-fed.

A Message from Father Jack


 

Sometimes I have gone into a buffet restaurant and found that the desserts are the first dishes in the line.  It is possible to have dinner backwards, starting with the dessert, and then eating the appetizer, salad and dinner.  You get to eat all the food, but I think it is more fulfilling to enjoy each part of the meal in its proper order.

 

Sometimes we have the same temptation with Christmas.  Our society tends to skip Advent altogether and starts celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving.  Then it’s all packed up and stored away by New Year’s Day.  Consider this year returning to the original practice of embracing the whole Christmas cycle – the period that includes Advent, Christmas and Epiphany.  The preparation (Advent) comes first, then comes the celebration extending a few weeks after Christmas Day. 

 

During Advent, the Church draws our attention to the most basic reality of our life: eternal salvation in Jesus Christ.  Advent draws our minds and hearts to the truth that God the Son has been made man, has taken our human nature in order to: 1) save us from our sins and eternal death, and 2) win for us the inheritance of true sons and daughters of God, that is, the inheritance of eternal life.

 

The reality that inspires our wonder during Advent is the coming of Jesus Christ, God the Son, incarnate into the world.  The reality is greater than we can fully understand.  Advent keeps our eyes fixed on the truth that is basic to our everyday life in Christ Jesus, the truth that God the Son has come into the world and remains with us always in the Church, above all, in the sacraments.

 

Advent is a Eucharistic season when we recall with wonder Christ’s coming into the world by His birth of Mary at Bethlehem; our hearts understand the oneness of the manger in which the Blessed Virgin Mary placed her Infant Son to rest, with the altar upon which Our Lord comes to be with us and the Tabernacle in which he remains with us always.  The glorious Body and Blood of Christ, which we receive in Holy Communion and adore in the Blessed Sacrament, first came into being in the womb of Mary and was first visible to the world in the manger at Bethlehem.  Even as the neighborhood shepherds and kings from various parts of the inhabited world came to worship the Infant Jesus at His birth, so we too, hasten to visit and adore Our Lord Jesus really present with us in the Most Blessed Sacrament.  We should come before His Eucharistic Presence with the wonder of those who first behold the Savior at His birth. 

 

So often, I am filled with deep gratitude for the ways in which Our Lord instructs our minds and captures our hearts throughout the days of our life.  Our life in the Church is truly life in Christ, that is, bearing Christ’s call and following Him along the daily path which brings us home to Heaven.  Through the observance of Advent, we recognize more clearly Christ’s presence in our midst and His calling us to follow Him, to be one with Him.

 

May the season of Advent be strong in grace for you, filling you with wonder and gratitude before the mystery of God’s great love of you in Jesus Christ.

 

Father Jack Downs,

Spiritual Director,

Our Lady of the Adirondacks House of Prayer
