VENERABLE SOLANUS CASEY
(USA, 1870-1957)
Capuchin Priest, Candidate for Beatification
The first US-born man to be named Venerable, Fr. Casey
was the son of Irish immigrants who did several odd
jobs before he entered high school at age 21. Ordained
a Capuchin at age 33, he was not allowed to preach or
hear confessions because of a poor academic record at
the seminary. In 1924, he became porter-receptionist
at St. Bonaventure monastery in Chicago until he died,
distinguishing himself by his great faith, humility, and
role as spiritual counselor and intercessor. He was
declared Venerable in 1995 by John Paul II.
OR today.
At the General Audience, the Pope discusses the controversy between St. Bernard and Abelard and calls for
Healthy theological discussion within the Church
Other Page 1 stories: An editorial commentary on a European court ruling that the presence of the Cross in Italian public schoolrooms
is a human rights violation; Cardinal Bertone deplores the ruling; and in Tehran, police disperse protestors recalling the 30th anniversary
of the Iranian takeover of the US embassy which resulted in 53 Americans being held hostage for 444 days by Islamist militants.
The inside pages contain two articles on St. Carlo Borromeo on the 400th anniversary year of his canonization - a homily by the Archbishop
of Milan on the importance of priestly celibacy, and an article by Christian art expert Timothy Verdon on a Milan exhibit of paintings
illustrating the life of the saint, whose liturgical feast the Church commemorated yesterday.
NB:
Page 1 reproduces a cartoon in the Nov. 3 issue of Corriere della Sera showing Christ saying "Once again, they have voted for Barabbas'
.
THE POPE'S DAY
The Holy Father presided today at a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica to commemorate the cardinals and bishops
who died in the past 12 months.
****
A news conference was held at the Vatican Press Office on the coming Nov. 21 meeting of Pope Benedict XVI
