Notes from the Pastor

Notas del Párroco

Those of us who have been fascinated with the nuptials of Prince Harry of England to a beautiful biracial, divorced American actress, or with such excellent Netflix productions as The Crown, can’t help but consider the extraordinary changes that have occurred in our world. When in 1955, the current Queen of England’s sister, Margaret, wished to marry a man who had been divorced, she was not allowed to do so for that reason. And when I was growing up in the South in the early 1960’s, it was still illegal for Whites and Blacks to marry. Today our Church is still struggling with how to deal in a pastoral and sensitive way with Catholics who divorce and then remarry. And in many parts of the world, including in our own country, racial tensions still abound. On Friday of this week, June 22nd, we will honor two famous and prayerful men who defended the sanctity of Marriage and their Catholic faith during the years of the Protestant Reformation. Their names are John Fisher and Thomas More. Father John Fisher was a priest and a famous preacher who had already written four volumes against Martin Luther’s teachings upholding the Catholic teaching of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. When King Henry VIII decided to divorce his Catholic wife, Catherine of Aragon, in order to marry Anne Boleyn, Father John Fisher argued that the first marriage was still valid. From then on, Fisher was a marked man. When the Pope at that time offered Fr. John Fisher the red hat of a Cardinal, King Henry VIII remarked that he would have no head to put it on. John Fisher was taken to the Tower of London for execution. Just before dying, he pardoned the executioner and declared that he was dying for the faith of Christ’s Church. He sang the Te Deum as the axe came down on his neck. The very same year, Henry VIII’s own lawyer, Sir Thomas More, protested when King Henry VIII named himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England, and he argued against the persecution of Catholics. When the King asked Thomas More for his opinion on the marriage question, Thomas More answered honestly that he could not support the King’s divorce. Indeed, he refused to attend the coronation of Anne Boleyn as Queen of England. For this, he too was taken to the Tower of London and condemned to death by beheading. His last words were that he had tried to be the King’s good servant, but that now he was the servant of God alone. This fascinating and intelligent man remains well-known in history to this day especially for the book he wrote called Utopia. Four hundred years after his death, the life of Thomas More became the subject of a famous play and motion picture, A Man for All Seasons. Fr. Ulysses

Aquellos de nosotros que hemos estado fascinados con la boda del Príncipe Harry de Inglaterra y una bella actriz estadounidense bi-racial y divorciada, o con producciones de Netflix tan excelentes como The Crown, no podemos dejar de considerar los extraordinarios cambios que han ocurrido en nuestro mundo. Cuando en 1955, la hermana de la Reina de Inglaterra, Margarita, quiso casarse con un hombre que se había divorciado, no se le permitió hacerlo por esa razón. Y cuando yo era niño en el sur de los Estados Unidos a principios de la década de 1960, todavía era ilegal que los blancos y los negros se casaran. Hoy nuestra Iglesia todavía está luchando con la forma de tratar de una manera pastoral y sensible con los católicos que se divorcian y luego vuelven a casarse. Y en muchas partes del mundo, incluso en nuestro propio país, las tensiones raciales todavía abundan. El viernes de esta semana, el 22 de junio, honraremos a dos hombres famosos y devotos que defendieron la santidad del matrimonio y su fe Católica durante los años de la Reforma Protestante. Sus nombres son Juann Fisher y Tomás More. El Padre Juan Fisher era un sacerdote y un predicador famoso que había escrito cuatro volúmenes contra las enseñanzas de Martín Lutero, defendiendo la enseñanza católica de la presencia real de Cristo en la Eucaristía. Cuando el rey Enrique VIII decidió divorciarse de su esposa Católica, Catalina de Aragón, para casarse con Ana Bolena, el Padre Juan Fisher argumentó que el primer matrimonio seguía siendo válido. Desde entonces, Fisher fue un hombre marcado. Cuando el Papa en ese momento le ofreció al Padre Juan Fisher el sombrero rojo de un cardenal, el rey Enrique VIII remarcó que no tendría cabeza para ponérselo. Juan Fisher fue llevado a la Torre de Londres para su ejecución. Justo antes de morir, perdonó al verdugo y declaró que estaba muriendo por la fe de la Iglesia de Cristo. Cantó el Te Deum cuando el hacha cayó sobre su cuello. El mismo año, el abogado de Enrique VIII, Tomás More, protestó cuando el rey Enrique VIII se nombró a sí mismo el Jefe Supremo de la Iglesia de Inglaterra y argumentó contra la persecución de los Católicos. Cuando el Rey le preguntó a Tomas More por su opinión sobre la cuestión del matrimonio, Tomás More respondió honestamente que no podía apoyar el divorcio del Rey. De hecho, se negó a asistir a la coronación de Ana Bolena como Reina de Inglaterra. Por esto, él también fue llevado a la Torre de Londres y condenado a muerte por decapitación. Sus últimas palabras fueron que había tratado de ser el buen siervo del Rey, pero que ahora él era solo el siervo de Dios. Este hombre fascinante e inteligente sigue siendo conocido en la historia hasta el

día de hoy, especialmente por el libro que escribió llamado Utopía. Cuatrocientos años después de su muerte, la vida de Tomás More se convirtió en el tema de una famosa obra de teatro y luego película, Un Hombre para todos los Tiempos. Padre Ulises
