Those who exercise good stewardship
of their faith realize that publicly identify-
ing themselves as followers of Christ has
a cleansing effect on their lives. Openly
confessing Christ makes them more con-
scious of how they live their daily lives.
Are we content to privatize our faith
or are we good stewards of a faith that we
share, make public, and regularly identify
as a life in Christ?
(CRUX)--If you’ve ever felt unwel-come at Church because of your gen-der, race, or sexual orientation, a Mas-sachusetts bishop has a message for you: I’m sorry. Bishop Mitchell T. Rozanski of Springfield used the occasion of Ash
Wednesday to mark Pope Francis’ Jubilee of Mercy by apologizing to and seeking reconciliation with Catho-lics in Western Massachusetts. Rozanski, sent from Baltimore to lead the 217,000-member diocese in 2014, said that ongoing fallout from the clergy sexual abuse scandal, shut-tered and merged churches, and less than welcoming parishes have caused a rupture between the Church and
some of the faithful. He says he is seeking forgiveness. “There are many people hurting in our Catholic community from the pain caused by our past failings as a dio-cese, as well as the grievous actions of some who ministered in our church,” he wrote in a pastoral letter on evan-gelization. “The reality of this pain is that it still echoes many years later, as was given witness in our recent dioce-san survey.” Through that survey, completed by 3,000 local Catholics, Rozanski said he learned that some Catholics don’t feel welcome in churches and thus stop participating in the faith. “Still there are others who have distanced themselves because they feel unwelcomed. The reasons here can vary, but key among them are race and cultural differences, a sense of gender inequality as well as sexual orientation,” he wrote. “Others have been treated unkindly, impatiently, or rudely by clergy, religious, ministers, and staff of parishes — all which is unacceptable.” “I ask your forgiveness,”

Who is my neighbor?
Catholi bishop to women, gays: I’m sorry... By Editor Catholic News Service, February 12, 2016.
(Welcome, continued) he continued. He said parishes “must be inviting and energetic environments, founded both in our traditions but also the real-ity of everyday life,” and urged local Catholics to “to evangelize those who were once, but are no longer with us.” “We need you, we need your pres-ence, your gifts and your talents. We need you to complete our community, to enrich it, to make it better and more effective,” he wrote. He quoted one of the people who took part in the diocesan survey, who wrote, “The gay community feels that they aren’t welcome. They don’t want to espouse another religion; therefore, they don’t attend church at all. Hope-fully, a special outreach could be done to them.” Rozanski said that revitalizing the diocese through evangelization would be a “daunting task,” but urged Catho-lics “to walk beyond our parish boundaries, without fear, to demon-strate the faith we celebrate in liturgy takes form in the reality of the world around us.” Rozanski opened the letter by ask-ing several questions about love and forgiveness, urging Catholics to look the Pope Francis as an example of how to love like God, who “looks beyond our faults and failings and loves us just as we are.” Pope Francis launched the Jubilee of Mercy in December, opening a special holy year during which Catho-lics are encouraged to go to confes-sion and walk through designated holy doors in order to have their sins forgiven. The pope has made mercy and forgiveness the hallmarks of his papacy. “Do you believe in a God who loves you?” Rozanski asked. “Do you believe in a God who forgives? Are you able to offer forgiveness to those who have hurt you? Are you able to ask forgiveness from them?”
