HOMILY PROFESSION OF FAITH

Please Stand

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, All bow while saying: and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

If I come across an old film on television, I enjoy the challenge of forging a guess as to its release date by carefully observing the clothing, the scenery and the cars. This happened as recently as Sunday while visiting my parents, as I guessed 1965 for a film that debuted in 1963. What? I am as old as that ancient-looking film? My first thought was, “Look how much has changed since then.” The story of the Church is not appreciably different– if you watched a video of Pope Paul VI’s inaugural Mass in 1963, it would be quite different from what you see today, in no small part due to the changes in the liturgy since Vatican II. The story of the development of the church’s liturgy is complex and not without some controversy, as when the changes were introduced, they happened with break-neck speed in an institution that holds fast to tradition. For starters, we must remember that for centuries the church’s liturgy was essentially fixed. If you visited a church in 1595 A.D. in Rome and “beamed yourself down” 300 years later (as in Star Trek), you would hardly notice anything different. Yes, there were various rites (Eastern Byzantine liturgies) as well as particular forms of the Mass for religious communities with slight variations. But the Latin Mass was remarkably the same all throughout Europe and North and South America. Well, almost everywhere in Europe. In some mission countries, adaptations were allowed, such as the use of Slavic language. St. Methodius had appealed to the pope in 879 A.D. because of the common belief that since the inscription above the crucifix at Calvary was in three languages (Hebrew, Latin and Greek), thus no other languages ought to be used in worship. Methodius had been sent to prison for his “offense” of celebrating in another language. Pope John VIII secured his release but immediately forbade Methodius from continuing to celebrate in Slavonic. Thankfully, the pope later had a change of heart, finally able to see the bigger picture, writing: “We rightly praise the Slavonic letters invented by Cyril in which praises to God are set forth, and we order that the glories and deeds of Christ our Lord be told in that same language. Nor is it in any wise opposed to wholesome doctrine and faith to say Mass in that same Slavonic language.” The Church must always balance the need for change with the importance of preserving tradition. The same holds true for society in its own way. Ready to dump the Minnesota State Fair, the 7th inning stretch or July 4th fireworks? I’m not! Yet, there is clearly a difference between being rooted in tradition and being stuck in it. The dynamic tension in preserving tradition in the midst of a rapidly changing world is particularly acute. It is critical to distinguish between doctrine and discipline, “Tradition” and “tradition.” Pope Francis has dispensed with or modified several “traditions” in the past three years, decisions which conceivably could be reversed without prejudice to doctrine in a future pontificate. But a pope would only do so very deliberately, considering many factors. For example, the Holy Father has limited the bestowal of the title of monsignor (a papal honorary title) to priests over the age of 65 unless they work in a Vatican Office or are part of the Diplomatic Corps. Not a few people think that this title is a fitting way in which to honor dedicated priests for their faithful service, especially since clergy have taken such a hit in the media. For me, this change was a total “non-issue”, since the last time priests were named in this Archdiocese dates to the late 1960’s. It is simply not on any local priest’s radar. But think that the change didn’t ruffle a few feathers in Philadelphia or New York? Before Vatican II, there were several grades of

Page 5 monsignori, carrying different forms of address, and vesture. In truth, the “purple rain” ceremonies (a reference to the colored cassocks) caused needless envy for those priests who were not afforded papal honors. Contrary to popular opinion, the move towards a reform of the church’s liturgy really began more than a half-century before Vatican II, and was not the council’s brainchild, though it was certainly accelerated as a result. Pope Pius X issued a decree in 1905, stating that “frequent and daily Communion…should be open to all the faithful,” and five years later in 1910, he lowered the age of first Holy Communion to the age of reason. The Church’s calendar of feasts and saints has undergone many reforms, as has the Breviary, the “priest’s prayer book,” as people knew it. For an active diocesan priest entrusted with a parish, the fulfillment of the obligation of the breviary had become intolerable, so many were the prayers. After all, we are not contemplative monks! If we completely exclude pastoral considerations, then the liturgy too quickly becomes a museum piece, unable to speak to our time. The Solemn Rite of Consecration of this Cathedral took about five hours on October 14, 1958. How would that go over today? Conversely, if we too quickly abandon liturgical tradition, the faithful will quickly feel disconnected from all who preceded us, diminishing the church’s universality. I was as amazed as I was disappointed to learn that Latin is no longer required in the seminary, only offered as an elective. How could one adequately understand our tradition, absent an ability to engage such a constitutive element such as Latin? Yes, liturgy is steeped in tradition, but it is a living tradition, not one closed in upon itself. The reform of the Sacred Liturgy after Vatican II was fraught with missteps and while I am convinced that some reform needed to occur, its implementation left much to be desired. (To be continued) ·

Having reached the official age of full retirement, Fr. Gene Tiffany now enjoys the freedom to assist with Masses according to his schedule. He will continue to assist us with some weekday and Sunday Masses, though in a more limited capacity. He has truly been a blessing here! I am working with the Archdiocese to secure additional sacramental help and will keep you posted. Pope Francis canonized two new saints for the Church last week. St. Stanislaus Papczynski (1631-1701) founded the Marian Fathers and St. Elizabeth Hesselblad (1870-1957), a Swedish immigrant to the United States who converted to Catholicism, re-founded the Bridgettine order in Europe, and saved Jews during World War II. Math was always my worst subject. After re-checking my notepad, I miscalculated the number of steps down to United Hospital. It is 187, not 178. You’d be surprised how many people run up and down those 187 steps for exercise, and do so multiple times!

VOICES FROM THE ARCHIVES “It is Saint Anthony of Padua we want. . .” Maginnis & Walsh Gentlemen: I received the photos of Mr. Atkins’ studies for our statues. I was not surprised that they were all very good – full of grace and charm and life – I shall write my observations on them for your consideration. . . . 3. This figure of St. Anthony is so good that it pains me to call your attention to the fact that Anthony was only 36 when he was killed [for] preaching – a Portugese who set fire to the souls of Northern Italy and Southern France. He must wear the Franciscan habit, the cord, the loose sleeve, the cowl, the tonsure. I hate to say goodbye to this old saint, but whoever he is, he would be in the wrong niche. Tell Mr. Atkins it is St. Anthony of Padua we want. . . .

RITES BAPTISM We welcome those who have been newly baptized. Please pray for them as they continue to grow in Christ. Voke Meredith Chioma Uvwoh

MARRIAGE Please join us in praying for couples preparing for the sacrament of Matrimony. William Brady Shagets Ashley Ann Bentler Matthew John Dudley Anne Katherine-Rose Thode

It’s likely that Archbishop Austin Dowling was looking at a photo of Atkins’ first concept of Saint Anthony, a striking image of Saint Anthony the Great, a Christian monk from Egypt, one of the early Desert Fathers, always pictured as a gaunt, aesthetic “old saint.” Within the month, Atkins sent another photo of a young Anthony of Padua. Born in Portugal, Anthony joined the Canons Regular and was ordained in Coimbra. There he met a group of Franciscan monks. Inspired by their evangelical lifestyle, he asked for and received permission to leave the Canons Regular to join the new Franciscan order. Anthony’s reputation for inspired preaching and teaching soon came to the attention of Francis of Assisi, who saw deep piety and humility in the young theologian. In 1224 Francis set Anthony in charge of the education of brothers who might seek ordination to the priesthood. Francis was never ordained, but his respect for the priesthood was legendary. He wrote, “If I saw an Angel and a priest, I would bend my knee first to the priest and then to the Angel.” His respectful address to his brother Anthony, the priest, is on the front of the altar, “To Brother Anthony, my bishop.”

ON THE COVER The Chapel of Saint Anthony was dedicated in the presence of the Italians of the Archdiocese on the feast of Saint Anthony, June 13, 1928. Saint Francis, the primary patron of Italy, and Saint Clare of Assisi are imaged in Bancel Lafarge’s stained glass windows in the Chapel. ACSP.

THE CATHEDRAL PARISH 175 YEARS 175 Years Ago . . . . the first Mass in Pig’s Eye/Saint Paul was offered in the Chapel of Saint Paul, our first parish church.

U A VERY FOND FAREWELL Meggie Langlois, our Administrator of Children’s Faith Formation, is leaving the Cathedral parish family after five years of dedicated service to our children and their families. Meggie has taken a position with Holy Family Academy in Saint Louis Park, where she will be designing and implementing a 3-year-old pre-K program and facilitating Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. We send Meggie with our very best wishes, and pray that her new position utilizes her obvious passion and gifts for teaching the faith very well.
