For God did not send His Son into the world, to condemn the
world, but that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned,
but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world,
but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come
toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light,
so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.

Dear friends, The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) has released a new document, Placuit Deo, on the subject of salvation. The CDF is the department at the Vatican charged with looking out for doctrinal errors, and it does not release documents very often. The Catholic evangelist, Jimmy Akin, wrote an article titled, “New Vatican Document on Salvation: Top Nine Things to Know.” I thought it was worth your while to read it.
1) Why was the document released? On March 1, the prefect and secretary of the CDF—Archbishops Luis Ladaria and Giacomo Morandi—held a press conference in which they announced the new document. Archbishop Ladaria explained that the document arose after some theologians asked the Congregation to further examine themes discussed in its earlier document on salvation, Dominus Iesus (2000). This document proved controversial because it explained the Church’s faith in Jesus Christ as the unique Savior of mankind, which some took as a slight to non-Christian religions. The new document—Placuit Deo (Latin, “It has pleased God”)—reaffirms Christian teaching on Jesus as “the only Savior of the whole human person and of all humanity” (n. 2), but it does not dwell on the issue. Instead, it focuses on two problematic tendencies in modern society that Pope Francis has called attention to, comparing them to the ancient heresies of Pelagianism and Gnosticism. 2) What is Pelagianism? Pelagianism was a heresy which minimized or denied the need for God’s grace in avoiding sin and achieving salvation. It is named after Pelagius, a monk from the British isles who lived in the 300s and 400s. Pelagianism was fought by St. Augustine and others, and it was condemned at a variety of councils. The new document, Placuit Deo, explains: According to the Pelagian heresy, developed during the fifth century around Pelagius, the man, in order to fulfill the commandments of God and to be saved, needs grace only as an external help to his freedom (like light or power, for example), not like a radical healing and regeneration of the freedom, without prior merit, until he can do good and reach the eternal life (fn. 9). 3) What is Gnosticism? Gnosticism was a heresy that arose in the second and third century. It took many different forms. Gnostics claimed to have special knowledge about the nature of the world and an alleged hierarchy of divine, celestial beings. They commonly saw the material world as evil, being produced by an inferior divine power who was identified with the God of the Old Testament. Salvation consisted in liberation from the flesh by embracing the gnostic message. 4) Is Gnosticism the belief that we are “saved through knowledge”? No. This common claim is a mistake based on where the word “gnostic” comes from (gnosis, one of the Greek words for knowledge) and that ignores what gnostics actually believed. Religions generally see a connection between salvation and knowledge. They hold people need to know what to do to be saved. In Christianity, people need to know and act on the gospel of Jesus Christ. In Buddhism, people need to recognize the Four Noble Truths and follow the Eightfold Path. In Islam, people need to know and submit to the will of God. Each of these religions could be called “gnostic” if all you mean by that is that they think people need knowledge to be saved.
What makes Gnosticism distinct is not its belief that knowledge is important for salvation. It’s the specific content of the knowledge they thought would let one achieve salvation. The CDF explains: In general, the gnostics believed that the salvation is obtained through an esoteric knowledge or gnosis. Such gnosis reveals to the gnostic his true essence, i.e., a spark of the divine spirit that lives inside him, which has to be liberated from the body, external to his true humanity. Only in this manner, the gnostic returns to his original being in God from whom he has turned away due to a primordial fall (fn. 9).
5) What are the tendencies in modern society that the CDF warns against in the new letter? The first tendency is a kind of self-sufficient individualism that doesn’t properly appreciate the role of Jesus in salvation: On one hand, individualism centered on the autonomous subject tends to see the human person as a being whose sole fulfillment depends only on his or her own strength. In this vision, the figure of Christ appears as a model that inspires generous actions with his words and his gestures, rather than as he who transforms the human condition by incorporating us into a new existence, reconciling us with the Father and dwelling among us in the Spirit (n. 2).

MIDDLE SCHOOL MINISTRY (continued from page 3) The second tendency is a kind of isolationism that conceives of salvation as an exclusively personal thing that involves only the individual and God. This is sometimes called a “just me and Jesus” attitude, and it does not appreciate our obligations toward others and the world: On the other hand, a merely interior vision of salvation is becoming common, a vision which, marked by a strong personal conviction or feeling of being united to God, does not take into account the need to accept, heal, and renew our relationships with others and with the created world (ibid.).
6) How has Pope Francis spoken of these tendencies? The CDF explains: Pope Francis, in his ordinary magisterium, often has made reference to the two tendencies described above, that resemble certain aspects of two ancient heresies, Pelagianism and Gnosticism. A new form of Pelagianism is spreading in our days, one in which the individual, understood to be radically autonomous, presumes to save oneself, without recognizing that, at the deepest level of being, he or she derives from God and from others. On the other hand, a new form of Gnosticism puts forward a model of salvation that is merely interior, closed off in its own subjectivism. It presumes to liberate the human person from the body and from the material universe, in which traces of the provident hand of the Creator are no longer found (n. 3).
7) In speaking of these tendencies as Pelagianism and Gnosticism, is the pope being literal? No. The CDF explains: Clearly, the comparison with the Pelagian and Gnostic heresies intends only to recall general common features, without entering into judgments on the exact nature of the ancient errors. However, insofar as Gnosticism and Pelagianism represent perennial dangers for misunderstanding biblical faith, it is possible to find similarities between the ancient heresies and the modern tendencies just described (n. 3).
8) What does the CDF see as the antidotes to these problems? A complete discussion can be found by reading the document in full, but put concisely: Contra individualism (“neo-Pelagianism”), we cannot rely simply on ourselves for salvation (e.g., by trying to be morally good person). God’s grace in Jesus Christ is essential for salvation. The sacraments are means by which God gives us his grace. Contra isolationism (“neo-Gnosticism”), salvation is not a purely private and spiritual matter. We must take seriously our responsibilities toward other Christians, the Church, and all of creation.
9) Are there any particularly interesting points the document discusses? One is a rejection of the common idea that our final destiny is to live as disembodied spirits with God in heaven. While we may be disembodied before the final resurrection, the document reminds us that, “total salvation of the body and of the soul is the final destiny to which God calls all of humanity” (n. 15). Another point, which will be particularly interesting for Protestant Christians, is the document’s acknowledgement that Mary is “first among the saved” (n. 15), meaning that she also is a recipient of God’s grace (cf. CCC 508).

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) Scrutinies and Presentation of The Creed
On the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays of Lent the Church celebrates the “Scrutinies” for the Elect (the unbaptized preparing for Baptism at the Easter Vigil). To “scrutinize” means to take a long and careful look at the ways we need to be healed and strengthened. In the Scrutinies, the Elect and the Community both acknowledge the power of evil that hinders them from following Christ, and the Elect give public witness to their ongoing conversion. Conversion is not about punishment for sin; it is about an all-loving, merciful God who offers to save us from sin. Conversion is an opportunity to change. It is a continual turning away from the inauthentic self to the authentic self. The First Scrutiny, celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of Lent, asks us to reflect on the 9 AM Cycle A Readings and consider the following questions. In what way have you experienced being an outcast? Who have you made an outcast and why? What are the deep thirsts of Our World; Our society; Our Communities? What are my own deep thirsts? These are just a few of the questions the Elect have reflected on when they kneel before the altar today. Let us continue to pray for the Elect and Candidates as they journey towards Full Initiation into our Catholic Church.
Adult Faith Formation

Do you desire to live a life of discipleship, but don’t know exactly what that means? Then come and join us for Adult Faith Formation EVERY Wednesday evening from 7:30 – 9:00 pm in Room 9 of the School. Come as you are, and when you can, all are welcome. This is on-going adult Catechesis; no need to register or sign-up, there is no cost, and you do not have to attend every session. For more information call the Office of Faith Formation at 526-5513.

Did you Know?
Helping children problem solve through communication Often the easiest response to complicated conversations about sensitive issues is a generic one, but these moments can be opportunities to help children grow. For example, if a child comes to you and tells you that a friend is being left out of social activities, you might respond with a question: "Do you think there is anything you can do help him/her feel more included?" Or if your child comes to you for money for social activities, instead of just giving them the cash or suggesting how they might get the money, you might prompt them to consider ways that they could earn money or fundraise on their own. In this way, you are not only helping a child find a solution to an immediate situation, but also helping them to grow in wisdom and prudence.

(Small entrance fee to help defer costs) For more information, contact: Rita @ 805-579-8970 or Barbara @ 805-522-9863.

¿Sabia Usted?
A menudo, la respuesta más fácil a conversaciones complicadas sobre temas delicados es genérica, pero estos momentos pueden ser oportunidades para ayudar a los niños a crecer. Por ejemplo, si un niño acude a usted y le dice que un amigo está siendo excluido de las actividades sociales, puede responder con una pregunta: "¿Crees que hay algo que puedas hacer para ayudarlo a sentirse más incluido?" O si su hijo acude a usted para pedirle dinero para actividades sociales, en lugar de sólo darle el dinero en efectivo o sugerirle cómo puede obtener el dinero, puede animarle a que considere formas en que podría ganar dinero o recaudar fondos por su propia cuenta. De esta manera, no sólo está ayudando a un niño a encontrar una solución a una situación inmediata, sino también está ayudándolo a crecer en sabiduría y prudencia.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El tiempo de Cuaresma se caracteriza por los ayunos y las abstinencias. Recuerdo que como niño mis padres me inculcaron la necesidad de dejar de comer golosinas durante la Cuaresma, de abstenerme del dulce para compartir la amargura del sufrimiento que Cristo sostuvo por mis pecados. Eventualmente en la parroquia, el sacerdote nos animó a guardar el dinerito que ahorrábamos no comprando dulces para mandarlo a los niños pobres. El ayuno y la abstinencia no sólo eran para acompañar a Jesús en su dolor histórico sino para animarlo y consolarlo en sus adoloridos hijo e hijas.
Muchos padres ya no animan a sus hijos e hijas a que hagan abstinencia, no les enseñan la necesidad de dejar algo innecesario para ayudar a los que no tienen o tienen menos. Es una realidad triste porque casi todas las religiones tienen sus prácticas de ayuno y abstinencia, para purificar el templo de nuestro cuerpo. Ciertamente esta forma de penitencia abre el alma a la presencia divina, por lo cual animar a sus hijo y a sus hijas en esta práctica es darles la oportunidad de encontrarse con Dios y con los pobres.
