Vatican: Traveling a "Privileged Event"
Underlines Positive Value of Knowing Different Cultures
www.zenit.org/article-33032
VATICAN CITY, JULY 8, 2011 (Zenit.org).- The Vatican is calling tourism as a "privileged event" as it offers an opportunity for dialogue among the cultures that come into contact with one another.
This was stated in the message of the Pontifical Council for Migrants and Travelers for the 2011 World Tourism Day, which will be observed Sept. 27 with the theme "Tourism Linking Cultures."
The message, released Wednesday, was signed by Archbishop Antonio Maria Vegliò and Bishop Joseph Kalathiparambil, president and secretary of the dicastery, respectively.
World Tourism Day is promoted by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), and began to be celebrated in 1980.
The dicastery's message highlighted the role of tourism in favoring "dialogue, as it places one in contact with other places, traditions, manners of living, and other forms of seeing the world and conceiving history."
"For all of these reasons, tourism is certainly a privileged event," the message added.
The letter noted that "the meeting of different cultures permits an enrichment of each one's own reality," and urged those responsible for the pastoral care of tourists to "educate and prepare Christians so that these cultural encounters are productive [...] and not lost opportunities."
If done correctly, the note said, tourism can "truly serve as a personal enrichment, helping to know the other, and to know one's self."
Church's patrimony
Regarding the Church's "immense" cultural patrimony, the Pontifical Council for Migrants and Travelers stated that its works of art are expressions of "the experience of faith, of the encounter between culture and the Gospel, as the fruit of the profound religious experience of the Christian community."
"Certainly," the note added, "the works of art and historical memory have an enormous potential to evangelize, in as much as they are placed in the context of [...] the way of beauty."
"It must be an objective priority of our pastoral care of tourism to show the true meaning of this cultural heritage, born from faith and for the glory of God," the letter added. "It is therefore important that we present this patrimony in its authenticity, illustrating its true religious nature, placing it in the liturgical context in which and for which it was born."
The letter then proposed "a series of concrete pastoral initiatives" that would seek to illustrate "in a clear and accessible way the original and profound religious meaning of these cultural manifestations, using for this modern and attractive means, and taking advantage of the personal and technological resources that are at our disposal."
"Among these concrete proposals there is the elaboration of the idea of touristic travel offering visitation to the places that are most important in the religious and cultural patrimony of the diocese," the message stated. Other initiatives including extending the hours that museums and churches are open, as well as formation programs for tourist guides.
At the end of the note, the dicastery announced the VII World Congress on the Pastoral Care of Tourism, which will take place April 23-27 in Cancun, Mexico.
This event, it said, "will certainly be an important opportunity to continue the consideration of concrete proposals that the pastoral care of tourism requires in the present times."

CAUTION: VERY DISTURBING -- NOT FOR CHILDREN.
Now that same video is going on tour, with its first stop at the Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York, where it will be part of the exhibit called, “Hide and Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture.”
Please protest LOUD and CLEAR (yet peacefully and prayerfully too!!!) to the Brooklyn Museum of Art:

Catholics need to express our honest and legitimate pain over so much immorality and public offense against Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Your voice is powerful because it is the voice of TRUTH.
And please remember, the initial video was canceled at the Smithsonian because good people like you stood up and said “enough is enough!”

Leonie to Premiere in Michigan-St. Thérèse's sister
Based on a true story. In late 1800s France, Leonie Martin (Mary Rose Maher) is a young bourgeoisie woman with a difficult nature who causes great emotional stress and suffering for her mother Zelie (Carrie Kot). Leonie wreaks havoc with the religious superiors in the monasteries she tries in vain to enter. Her extreme emotional outbursts and stubborn nature begin to ease when she meets and befriends a caring younger nun Sister Jeanne Marguerite (Paige Pilarski). She lovingly helps Leonie endure the many trials and tribulations of her hard life filled with chronic illness, an agonizing skin disorder and severe learning disabilities. The touching story “Leonie!” also stars Jeff Barron as Louis Martin the father of Leonie whose devotion for her is manifest in his unfailing belief in the goodness of his troubled daughter. Genevieve Lang, Megan Wolf and Samantha Lang play the affectionate sisters of Leonie who, after the death of their parents, grow up to one-by-one heartbreakingly leave Leonie to enter the Carmelite monastery from which Leonie is barred. Film star and Oscar voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Dolores Hart, calls Leonie!, “A totally heartwarming story”. Hart was Elvis Presley’s first on-screen kiss and hailed as the next Grace Kelly. In the early 1960’s, she left Hollywood fame and fortune to enter the Abbey of Regina Laudis. “Leonie!” is directed by Joseph Robert Maher from a screenplay he wrote based on the life of Leonie Martin of Alencon, France, sister of the patron saint of France, St. Therese (Martin), known the world over to Catholics as the “Little Flower”. It stars an all-Michigan cast of eighty seven actors with Mary Rose Maher from Dryden, Paige Pilarski from Romeo, Genevieve Lang from Rochester Hills, Carrie Kot from Emmett, Jeff Barron from Farmington Hills, Megan Wolf from Rochester Hills and Samantha Lang from Rochester Hills. The film is produced by Holy Trinity Productions I with its founder, Barbara M. Middleton, serving as executive producer. Leonie Martin captured the heart of Middleton and she knew she had to produce a film on her life story. Some of the more striking features of the film are the spectacular settings used in most of the scenes. In Romeo, Michigan a restored late 1880’s French architecture historical home called “Sisson’s Fancy” served as the setting for the Martin’s French bourgeoisie estate in Alencon, France. Over the years the owners, Ron and Diane Jesmore, collected artifacts from the 1880’s period to place throughout their home. This made for the perfect setting for the story in the film. The stunning home fit perfectly for the time period of the story. Other unique locations used in the film are the 135 year old Bunert Schoolhouse located on the property of Warren Woods Tower High School, the Monastery of St. Therese in Clinton Township, and St. Mary’s of Redford Parish in Detroit. Perhaps the most intriguing backdrop in the film is a cloistered religious community’s Monastery in Toledo, Ohio. The monastery of the Visitation is under what’s called Papal Enclosure, meaning guests cannot be allowed to enter the monastery enclosure. However, the Most Reverend Leonard P. Blair of the Diocese of Toledo, Ohio granted this once in a lifetime permission. “In the movie, people will see for the first time, life behind the walls of a monastery in the United States that has preserved the original observance and habits since the founding of their order by St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantel in the 1600s.” Barbara Middleton said. “It’s my understanding that no other U.S. production company has ever been allowed behind the walls of a cloistered religious community.” Writer and director, Joseph Robert Maher couldn’t wait to begin shooting in the Toledo monastery. “It is one of the most extraordinary places I’ve ever been.” He said. “The monastery is magnificent and the austere lifestyle these sisters live with such joy is truly amazing. I couldn’t wait to share this place with the rest of the world.” The actress who portrays the life of Leonie Martin, Mary Rose Maher, was discovered by Barbara Middleton, after seeing her perform live on stage in the lead female role of “The heritance”, a musical with members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in 2007. She was 14 years old at the time, and only 16 years old when filming began for Leonie! in the summer of 2009. Later, Middleton invited Maher’s father, Joseph Robert Maher a former entertainment executive from Beverly Hills, California to write and direct the feature film. Other members of the creative filmmaking team include director of photography Luke Kuschel of Gregory, production designer Caitlin Callaghan of Troy, editor Brien Dux of Berkley, sound editor Doug Schiete of Clarkston, and producer David Brockman of Rochester Hills. The music is composed by Eduard Perrone of Detroit. LEONIE! is a film for ALL AUDIENCES www.leoniemovie.com LEONIE! will be distributed nationally in theaters after the Michigan premiere and is currently in negotiations with several distributors.

New York Bishop’s office: no plans to deny Gov. Cuomo communion at this point

New York Bishop’s office: no plans to deny Gov. Cuomo communion at this point
July 5, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - As LifeSiteNews reported last week, Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio has called on Catholic schools and parishes not to invite state legislators to speak at or attend any events, and to refuse any honors bestowed on them by the governor or any legislator responsible for the bill’s passage.
The sanctions, however, do not include refusing Governor Cuomo or other Catholic politicians who supported the passage of same-sex ‘marriage’ Holy Communion.
Msgr. Kieran Harrington, Vicar for Communications for the Diocese of Brooklyn, told LifeSiteNews that “there are no plans to deny Holy Communion to elected officials at this point.”
New York became the 6th and largest state in the country to permit same-sex marriage last month, when Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the Marriage Equality Act into law just before midnight on June 24th, less than two hours after the bill was passed out of the State Senate.
In his strong statement decrying the bill’s passage, Bishop DiMarzio said: “Governor Andrew Cuomo and the state legislature have deconstructed the single most important institution in human history.
“Republicans and Democrats alike succumbed to powerful political elites and have passed legislation that will undermine our families and as a consequence, our society. What is needed in our state is leadership and not political gamesmanship.”
The statement left some Catholics wondering whether the bishop would take the additional step of denying Communion to those responsible for the law.
Noted Catholic blogger Fr. John Zuhlsdorf called it “the missing piece” of the bishop’s statement, writing that “there may have to be an investigation or process before such a decision is made by a bishop.”
Canon law instructs priests to deny Communion to those who “obstinately persist in manifest grave sin.”
Gov. Cuomo, who has pushed to legalize same sex “marriage” since his election, has been in the spotlight before for his public reception of Holy Communion. Detroit canon lawyer Edward N. Peters, who is also a consultant to the Apostolic Signatura, made headlines in February when he called for the Governor to be denied Communion for living with his girlfriend, Food Network celebrity Sandra Lee.
