English Catechism unveiled to American Catholics By David Briggs The Associated Press Muslims can be saved. Paying low wages and cheating on taxes are sins. Artificial insemination is morally unacceptable.
This is not your old-style Roman Catholic catechism. More than 400 years after its last catechism defended the faith against Protestant reformers, the Catholic Church last week released a new English-language catechism that seeks to restore doctrinal order and establish a religious ethic for the Third Millenium. The Vatican won the first culture clash with the 59 million-member church in the United States. Debates over gender-neutral language delayed the English catechism more than 18 months, and church officials eventually overruled American translators to consistently use "man" or "men" instead of "men and or "the human race" to refer to humanity. Nevertheless, the 688-page "Catechism of the Catholic Church" doesn't represent a return to the catechisms of old that most U.S.
Catholics are familiar with. Gone are the Council of Trent's anathemas hurled at non-Catholics, replaced by declarations that God's covenant with Jews is irrevocable and that Muslims are included in God's plan of salvation. In addition to upholding the authority of the hierarchy and bans on sex outside marriage, the new catechism catalogs a list of modern sins such as tax fraud and the payment of low wages and declares the arms race to be "one of the greatest curses on the human "It's not an attempt to push back the clock," said Dennis Doyle, associate professor of religious studies at the University of Dayton. "But it's kind of trying to make the hands of the clock not move around so quickly." Even before it reaches book stores June 22, the catechism has reached Pope John Paul II looks at new received from German Cardinal Boston Friday. best seller status.
More than 250,000 copies are on back order at 16 U.S. publishers; the first printing is 566,000 copies and publishers already are discussing a second printing. The catechism will be the point of reference for teaching materials for generations to come, from adult texts to preschool coloring books. "Really, there's no reason why there shouldn't 'be a copy in every serious Catholic home," said the Rev. Richard Neuhaus, director of the Institute on Religion and Public Life in New York.
"It's an event of monumental historic importance." A small delegation of cardinals, including Archbishop Bernard Law English-language version of Joseph Ratzinger, left, and Cardinal of Boston, presented the Englishlanguage catechism to Pope John Paul II on Friday morning in the hospital room where the pontiff is recovering from hip surgery. "We are all well aware of the importance of this publication, which responds to a deeply felt need on the part of millions of Englishspeaking faithful who desire to read and meditate upon the text of the catechism," the pope said in a message to the group. The first catechism was the New Testament's four Gospels. The last major catechism was produced after the Council of Trent in 1566, a time of fierce doctrinal conflict between Protestant reformers and AP photo Catechism of the Catholic Church he Bernard Law, archbishop of Catholic leaders.

The question-andmany Catholic baby boomers today; it was the favored catechism until the Second Vatican Council ended in the mid-1960s. The new catechism incorporates many of the revolutionary changes in the church since Vatican II, and even delves into the latest questions of medical ethics. Discontinuing burdensome medical procedures on dying Values need to be reconstructed, reorganized As I drove down the road recently, It seems as though even the most I couldn't help but become caught up in watching a young father in the car along the side of me reprimand, yell and slap the two children riding with him. My heart ached as I witnessed these little people pleading for him to stop. The man was overcome with anger and had left all possibilities of exercising patience and control behind as he handled this stressful situation.
When our paths separated, I was unable to get this scene out of my: mind. Shortly after arriving at my destination, I entered a shopping center and soon found myself behind two younger women with children; in a light-hearted way, they discussed their immoral actions of the nights previous. Their discussion was filled with language of obscenity and the taking of the Lord's name in vain. I was again saddened by what I heard, but I also realized I wasn't really shocked because these situations or others very similar seem to be a part of everyday life, and we are becoming callused and even a bit "accepting" of them as normal. Excerpts from the Catechism of the Catholic Church: "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims." "With respect to children who have died without Baptism, the liturgy of the Church invites us to trust in God's mercy and to pray for their salvation." "A human being must always obey the certain judgment of his conscience." "Love of neighbor is inseparable from love for God." "Intentional euthanasia, whatever its forms or motives, is murder." "The arms race is one of the greatest curses on the human race and the harm it inflicts upon the poor is more than can be endured." "A just wage is the legitimate fruit of work.

"Our bids for the work came back a lot better than we thought," said Mayor John Cushing. "But anytime you spend that kind of money, you always want to make sure it's done right and on Crews will began work Wednesday to connect 400 North to Bountiful Boulevard from 1300 East. The street should be finished before Labor Day, in time for a possible fall opening of the temple. Officials will pay $481,000 for the work.
The city already has spent $248,000 to condemn and buy from a resident the right-ofway for the road's extension. The City Council voted 4-1 last December to use its eminent domain power to acquire the 66-foot-wide, half-mile-long strip in the middle of exclusive neighborhoods. Outgoing Councilwoman Renee Coon cast the lone "no" vote. The property owner, Ralph Keller, has since filed a lawsuit in 2nd District Court against the city claiming he wasn't paid enough for the land. A judge hasn't decided the matter but, in the meantime, granted the city immediate occupancy of the right-of-way.
The road will provide a direct route to the temple for residents of many of the 28 church stakes that are assigned to it. firm in their understanding of right and wrong if parents and grandparents will teach and exemplify strong values.
