We are studying Gaudium et Spes in our chapter. Very profound teachings, including this one, which is so needed today:

28. Respect and love ought to be extended also to those who think or act differently than we do in social, political and even religious matters. In fact, the more deeply we come to understand their ways of thinking through such courtesy and love, the more easily will we be able to enter into dialogue with them.
This love and good will, to be sure, must in no way render us indifferent to truth and goodness. Indeed love itself impels the disciples of Christ to speak the saving truth to all men. But it is necessary to distinguish between error, which always merits repudiation, and the person in error, who never loses the dignity of being a person even when he is flawed by false or inadequate religious notions.(10) God alone is the judge and searcher of hearts, for that reason He forbids us to make judgments about the internal guilt of anyone.(11)
The teaching of Christ even requires that we forgive injuries,(12) and extends the law of love to include every enemy, according to the command of the New Law: "You have heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thy enemy. But I say to you: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute and calumniate you" (Matt. 5:43-44).
We have been studying the Constitutions of Vatican II this year and today’s Newman Center post was Gaudium et Spes, 18–the first portion of the attached article. The timing—immediately following All Souls Day—is perfect. Check it out!

St. John Henry Newman will soon be declared a Doctor of the Universal Church, the Vatican has announced.
In a statement, the Vatican said Pope Leo XIV, during an audience today with Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, "confirmed the positive opinion" of the dicastery's plenary session of cardinals, bishops, and members "regarding the title of Doctor of the Universal Church which will soon be conferred on St. John Henry Newman."
The news comes after the bishops’ conference of England and Wales had formally petitioned the Pope to name Cardinal Newman a Doctor of the Church. The initiative was strongly supported by other bishops’ conferences, including those of the United States, Ireland, and Scotland, as well as many academic institutions and religious communities worldwide.
This morning in St. Peter’s Basilica, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV ordained 11 men to Sacred Priesthood for the Diocese of Rome. Let us keep these men and their ministry in our prayers.
Oh my gosh!! This is our home parish in Michigan—we lived 8 houses away! My husband and I were married in this church in 1979, just two years before Pope Leo’s ordination described in this article! https://t.co/p7Y1ZwddWZ
White smoke! The 133 Cardinal electors gathered in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel have elected the new Pope. He will appear soon at the central window of St. Peter’s Basilica.

WHERE is the global outcry? WHERE is the world? I will NOT be silent while my brothers and sisters in humanity are hunted for believing in God.
Moral principles do not depend on a majority vote. Wrong is wrong, even if everybody is wrong. Right is right,
even if nobody is right.

It’s Christmas Eve!
This pic is of St Thomas Aquinas Church in Charlotte from several years ago. We would love to see pics of our members’ parish churches decorated for Christmas. Please snap a few and post after you attend Mass Christmas Eve or Christmas!
Do not be afraid, I am here…Do not fear, I will help you!
