Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano In early 2002, the Boston Globe began publication of a series of stories about clergy sexual abuse of children in the Archdiocese of Boston. The investigation by the paper was exhaustive and resulted in a 2003 Pulitzer Prize for the paper and its “Spotlight” investigative team of reporters.

The story of the investigation forms the basis of the soon-to-be-released fi lm titled “Spotlight,” to be shown in limited release in U.S. theaters beginning Nov. 6 and set for general release beginning Nov. 20. The drama from Open Roads Films is directed and co-written by Tom McCarthy and features several notable actors and actresses: Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber, Mark Ruffalo, Stanley Tucci and John Slattery. It debuted at the Venice Film Festival in September and has since received many positive advance reviews. For many Catholics and others, the fi lm will serve as a reminder of the continuing absolute need within the Church for uncompromising vigilance, accountability and, most of all, care of and solidarity with the victims of abuse and their families. The subject is sober-ing and the memories of those days of crisis within the Church remain disturbing and strong. More than a decade has passed since the sexual abuse crisis was revealed as a systemic failure within the fabric of the Church. During that time, the Church — at the local, national and international level — has made unprecedented strides in its efforts to eradicate the problem and to care for and make restitution to the victims of abuse. At the local level, the Diocese of Orange emerged early on with one of the most imaginative, effective, wide-ranging, transparent and committed series of measures to address the multifaceted issue. With the release of “Spotlight,” the diocese once again recognizes the opportunity to raise awareness of child sexual abuse and to reiterate its commitment to never allowing such a situation to occur again, remembering that life is precious and is to be protected at all levels. In June of 2002 the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) instituted the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, a blueprint for dealing with the sexual abuse crisis in the Church, and pledged to promote healing and reconciliation with victim survivors of sexual abuse, guarantee an effective response to allegations of sexual abuse of minors, ensure the accountability of their procedures, and protect the faithful in the future. The Diocese of Orange responded to the charter’s publication immediately, and an unaffi liated auditing fi rm charged with verifying diocesan compliance with the charter’s mandates has found the Diocese of Orange to be in full compliance with the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People every year since its inception in 2003. More broadly, the diocese has publicly acknowledged past failings and has apologized personally to the victims of abuse and their families and has made clear its commitment to the fair resolution of every legitimate abuse claim. The bold initiative to settle the 2003 clergy abuse cases in a respectful and humble manner and to institute strict procedures for the protection of children and young people has been seen as a model for others. The diocese also took the unprecedented step of releasing all appropriate personnel files related to this settlement in May of 2005. In 2002 the diocese implemented a comprehensive approach to ensuring that children and teens are as safe as possible, employing a comprehensive background screening for all adults likely to be in contact with children—already more than 75,000 have been vetted. This process allows for the collection of a wide variety of past screening data, including extensive backgrounds checks and fingerprinting, and is designed to enhance already in place diocesan policies. Since 2002 all clergy, employees, and volunteers have been required to undergo Safe Environment Training. In 2014 alone, the diocese trained 286 priests, 115 deacons, 1,664 teachers and more than 25,500 school employees and volunteers. Diocesan schools and religious education classes at parishes and diocesan centers also provide Safe Environment education for children. This procedure is suited to their age and level of understanding. In 2014, nearly 44,000 children participated in this critically important awareness program.

STOP ASSISTED SUICIDE Stop Assisted Suicide in CA before it’s too late! Earlier this year, through a Special Session, the CA legislature passed assisted suicide, allowing doctors to prescribe overdose medication to terminally ill patients. Join a coalition of physicians, nurses, disability-rights organizations, and people of all faiths to stand for the lives of our elderly and dying and oppose assisted suicide! On November 22, Christ the King Sunday, petitions will be available for signature outside of Masses. Signers must be registered to vote and can only sign once. Why Oppose Assisted Suicide? • Sends the Wrong Message: Legalizing suicide for the terminally ill, while discouraging it for the rest of the population, teaches that the lives of the ill and disabled do not matter to our society. • Will Worsen Patient Care: Patients in other states, like Barbara Wagner in Oregon, are being denied treatment prescribed by their doctors, and instead offered drugs for assisted suicide. • Will Increase Non-Terminal Suicide Rates: Suicides skyrocket when assisted suicide is legalized. Oregon's suicide rate for non-terminal people increased 49% after assisted suicide became legal.

BECOME AN RCIA PARISH SPONSOR! Thinking about sponsoring one of our new inquirers? Learn how your compassion and support will benefit someone who is seeking to become Catholic….

Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano LETTER FROM MSGR. ART

Dear Brothers and Sisters, On December 8th we celebrate not only the beginning of the Holy Year of Mercy called by our Holy Father, Pope Francis, but also the 50th Anniversary of the close of the Second Vatican Council. The Council was without a doubt a watershed moment for reform and renewal of our Church in the last century. The Council that began in the Fall of 1962, consisted of four sessions, each taking place in the Fall of the following three years. Sixteen authoritative documents were promulgated by the Council with the concurrence of the Holy Father, touching virtually every aspect of our life as a Church. The style and tone of this Council was decidedly different from previous major Councils of the Church. This would not be a Council of condemnation or rebuking of error but rather a pastoral council, keen to enter into dialogue with the modern world enabling the perennial truth of the Gospel of Christ to ring with greater clarity to the men and women of this present age. During the final session of the Council, three significant documents would be issued that continue to have a profound impact on the life of our Church, particularly in our relationship with our non-Christian sisters and brothers (Nostra Aetate), Church/State relations and more specifically the question of Religious Liberty (Dignitatis Humanae) and finally, the Church’s relationship to the Modern World itself (Gaudium et Spes). The groundbreaking insights of this first document, Nostra Aetate, would radically change our Church’s relationship to non-Christians and specifically to our Jewish brothers and sisters. The history of the relationship between Catholics and Jews had been tendentious at best. While never a formal part of our teaching, many in the Church laid the sin of Deicide or “God killers” at the corporate feet of the Jewish people of Jesus time and their descendants. Such a charge insidiously fed the prejudice and mind set that led to the persecution of the Jewish people, their sequestration into ghettos and ultimately planted the demonic seeds of the Holocaust in Germany. The document Nostra Aetate would unequivocally affirm the fact that God did not rescind his special covenant with the Jewish people nor should the sin of Deicide be laid upon the whole race. In the words of the document itself: True, the Jewish authorities and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ; still, what happened in His passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today. The Jews should not be presented as rejected or accursed by God, as if this followed from the Holy Scriptures. All should see to it, then, that in catechetical work or in the preaching of the word of God they do not teach anything that does not conform to the truth of the Gospel and the spirit of Christ. Furthermore, in her rejection of every persecution against any man, the Church, mindful of the patrimony she shares with the Jews and moved not by political reasons but by the Gospel's spiritual love, decries hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism, directed against Jews at any time and by anyone. (NA #4) Always forward, Msgr. Art

OPERATION CHRISTMAS SPIRIT 2015 We are in need Christmas cards with stamped envelopes (preferably Forever postage stamps) Cards will be handed out to adults and youth incarcerated in the Orange County jails and juvenile detention facilities to send to their families and loved ones. ♦ Please ensure the cards reflect our love for Jesus through the celebration of his Holy birth. ♦ Cards must be store bought all paper ONLY!

Declaración de la Parroquia de la Misión `Nosotros, la comunidad Católica de la Misión Basílica San Juan Capistrano, un lugar de peregrinación y de paz, estamos llamados a movernos “siempre adelante”. Bendecidos por nuestra diversidad y fortalecidos por nuestra identidad sacramental como hermanos y hermanas en Cristo nos regocijamos en vivir los valores del Evangelio de amor y justicia en nuestro servicio a los demás.

PREGUNTA DE REFLEXION DE LA SEMANA Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo Daniel 7, 13-14 Apocalipsis 1,5-8

22 de noviembre, Ciclo B Juan 18,33-37

Tema: “Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor. Bendito el reino que llega. ¡Cristo ayer, hoy y siempre!” Adultos: ¿Qué puedo hacer esta semana para proclamar el mensaje de Jesús a todo el mundo? Adolescentes y Niños: ¿Qué acciones en mi vida indican que soy seguidor de Jesús?

MENSAJE DE LA SEMANA: ¡FELIZ FIN DE AÑO¡ y ¡Viva Cristo Rey! Para terminar y como colofón del Año Litúrgico, la Comunidad Cristiana celebra la solemnidad de JESUCRISTO, REY DEL UNIVERSO. ¡Cristo ayer, hoy y siempre! Es, sin duda, un atrevimiento en este nuestro mundo donde los “reyes absolutos” no tienen buena prensa. ¿Qué celebra en esta fiesta la Comunidad Cristiana? ¿Tiene algo que ver con lo de los reyes de este mundo (= poder y riquezas)? Y afirmamos que nada en absoluto. Es necesario “meter otra clave” para descubrir lo que significa lo del reinado de Cristo. Al proclamarlo así, estamos haciendo una declaración formal: Él debe impregnar toda la vida del cristiano, de manera que su forma de ver, amar y actuar, van dándole a su seguidor una identidad concreta y específica, donde la vida de cada día, los deseos de justicia, de verdad, de solidaridad van haciéndose vida y produciendo vida. Este reinado, pues, poco tiene que ver con el grito de “viva Cristo Rey”, como a veces se ha confundido. Nos tocará a sus seguidores poner las cosas en su sitio. Nos tocará a nosotros mostrar al mundo que la cruz y el servicio son las claves de lectura de este reinado de Cristo. No olvidemos: “Yo he venido a ser testigo de la verdad. Todo el que es de la verdad, escucha mi voz”. Éste será el mensaje que nos deja Jesús. ¡Dichosos quienes le acogen como REY y SEÑOR!

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Dn 1:1-6, 8-20; Dn 3:52-56; Lc 21:1-4 Martes: Dn 2:31-45; Dn 3:57-61; Lc 21:5-11 Miércoles: Dn 5:1-6, 13-14, 16-17, 23-28; Dn 3:62-67; Lc 21:12-19 Jueves: Dn 6:12-28; Dn 3:68-74; Lc 21:20-28 Día de Acción de Gracias (sugerencia): Sir 50:22-24; Sal 145 (144):2-11; 1 Cor 1:3-9; Lc 17:11-19 Viernes: Dn 7:2-14; Dn 3:75-81; Lc 21:29-33 Sábado: Dn 7:15-27; Dn 3:82-87; Lc 21:34-36 Domingo: Jer 33:14-16; Sal 25 (24):4-5, 8-10, 14; 1 Tes 3:12 — 4:2; Lc 21:25-28, 34-36

ORACIÓN DE LA SEMANA Dios todopoderoso y eterno, que quisiste fundar todas las cosas en tu Hijo muy amado, Rey del universo, haz que toda creatura, liberada de la esclavitud, sirva a tu majestad y te alabe eternamente. Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo y es Dios por los siglos de los siglos.

APROVECHEMOS EL REGALO DEL “ROSARIO” Hagamos el compromiso de crecer más en oración en la familia. Rezar con el Rosario por los hijos y con los hijos, educándolos desde su tierna edad para este momento cotidiano, es una ayuda espiritual que no se debe minimizar. ROSARIO PARA LA FAMILIA – ¡TRAIGAN A SUS NIÑOS! Todos los martes a las 6:30 PM en la Misión Basílica LA FAMILIA QUE REZA UNIDA, PERMANECE UNIDA.

Misa de Acción de Gracias Como pueblo peregrino, agradecemos a Dios por todas las bendiciones recibidas a lo largo de nuestro caminar. La Misa de Acción de Gracias será el Jueves 26 de Noviembre a las 9:00 AM en la Basílica, será bilingüe. Invitamos a todas las familias a que traigan el pan y el vino que van a compartir en su cena de Acción de Gracias para hacer una bendición especial al final de la Liturgia. Retomando el significado original de Acción de Gracias, lo podemos relacionar con la misma emigración del pueblo hispano a éste país, y que igual que esos peregrinos que vinieron de Inglaterra en 1620, para buscar una libertad en su expresión religiosa y al igual que José y María tuvieron un peregrinar (huída) para buscar una mejor vida (más segura) para su Hijo; nosotros también buscamos en ésta tierra una mejor vida. Esta tierra ha sido bendecida, no por el lugar geográfico ni por la extensión que tiene, sino por cada ser humano (documentado o no documentado) lo integra; enriqueciéndolo con su propia lengua, valores y tradiciones.

Fiesta de Cristo Rey Es una de las fiestas más importantes del calendario litúrgico, porque celebramos que Cristo es el Rey del universo. Su Reino es el Reino de la verdad y la vida, de la santidad y la gracia, de la justicia, del amor y la paz. La fiesta de Cristo Rey fue instaurada por el Papa Pío XI el 11 de Marzo de 1925. El Papa quiso motivar a los católicos a reconocer en público que el mandatario de la Iglesia es Cristo Rey. Posteriormente se movió la fecha de la celebración dándole un nuevo sentido. Al cerrar el año litúrgico con esta fiesta se quiso resaltar la importancia de Cristo como centro de toda la historia un iversal. Es el alfa y el omega, el principio y el fin. Cristo reina en las personas con su mensaje de amor, justicia y servicio. El Reino de Cristo es eterno y universal, es decir, para siempre y para todos los hombres. Con la fiesta de Cristo Rey se concluye el año litúrgico. Esta fiesta tiene un sentido escatológico pues celebramos a Cristo como Rey de todo el universo. Sabemos que el Reino de Cristo ya ha comenzado, pues se hizo presente en la tierra a partir de su venida al mundo hace casi dos mil años, pero Cristo no reinará definitivamente sobre todos los hombres hasta que vuelva al mundo con toda su gloria al final de los tiempos, en la Parusía. En la fiesta de Cristo Rey celebramos que Cristo puede empezar a reinar en nuestros corazones en el momento en que nosotros se lo permitamos, y así el Reino de Dios puede hacerse presente en nuestra vida. De esta forma vamos instaurando desde ahora el Reino de Cristo en nosotros mismos y en nuestros hogares, empresas y ambiente.

Queridos hermanos y hermanas, Este próximo 8 de diciembre, la Solemnidad de la Inmaculada Concepción, marca el 50 aniversario de la clausura del Concilio Vaticano Segundo. Para celebrar este momento histórico en nuestra Iglesia, el Papa Francisco estará inaugurando el Año Santo de la Misericordia. Es providencial que este aniversario estará marcado por el Año del Jubileo de la Misericordia. En el famoso discurso que ofreció en su entonces el Papa, Santo Juan XXIII, el 11 de octubre del 1962, primer día del Concilio Ecuménico, él proféticamente dijo estas inspiradoras palabras: Al iniciarse el Concilio Ecuménico Vaticano II, es evidente como nunca que la verdad del Señor permanece para siempre. Vemos, en efecto, al pasar de un tiempo a otro, cómo las opiniones de los hombres se suceden excluyéndose mutuamente y cómo los errores, luego de nacer, se desvanecen como la niebla ante el sol. Siempre la Iglesia se opuso a estos errores. Frecuentemente los condenó con la mayor severidad. En nuestro tiempo, sin embargo, la Esposa de Cristo prefiere usar la medicina de la misericordia más que la de la severidad. Ella quiere venir al encuentro de las necesidades actuales, mostrando la validez de su doctrina más bien que renovando condenas. En el curso de cuatro sesiones comenzando en 1962 y concluyendo en 1965, 16 documentos conciliares fueron promulgados los cuales definitivamente hablan del trabajo de este gran concilio. En la sesión final, la cual tomo lugar en el otoño del 1965, tres documentos críticamente importantes fueron promulgados para la vida de la Iglesia de nuestros tiempos. El primero, Nostra Aetate el cual habla sobre las relaciones de la Iglesia con las religiones no cristianas y haciendo referencia especifica con nuestros hermanos y hermanas Judíos. El Segundo documento, Dignitatis Humanae que habla sobre la libertad religiosa, tema de gran actualidad y preocupación hoy día. El tercer documento, la Constitución Pastoral Gaudium Et Spes sobre la Iglesia en el mundo actual la cual definitivamente trae un alto a la “mentalidad cerrada” de una Iglesia post-Tridentina mientras se abre a un diálogo propio con el mundo moderno. Estos documentos que serán una base para futuras reflexiones en el boletín, apuntan una dinámica critica del “desarrollo doctrinal” dentro de la vida de la Iglesia. Mientras se dice que la Iglesia es “incambiable”, es cierto que las dogmas y doctrinas de nuestra fe retienen elementos de incambiable verdad. El cómo esas verdades son expresadas por medio de los siglos pueden en verdad desarrollar, expandir y ciertamente cambiar con las exigencias de la era presente. Siempre adelante, Mons. Art
