In this podcast, he talks about the declaration being based on the dignity of the human of person - which means everyone is created in the image of God and God is calling everyone into a relationship with Him. Christian faith is a free act of the will. If you believe in Jesus, then that means you have free will, which is the essence of religious freedom. The call to faith is an internal one; there is an obligation, but it shouldn't be imposed on the outside. Jesus expected His listeners to accept His teachings as truth, since it came from God and directed by the Holy Spirit, but Jesus would not coerce people on the outside, like the Jewish or Roman authorities, to force others to believe. http://www.dioceseofjoliet.org/bishop D2C4EFBC-BB2A-48AE-9CD4-E8E4337C55A3 Tue, 3 Sep 2013 14:49:03 -0500 Bishop Conlon Talks about the Declaration on Religious Liberty ("Dignitatis Humanae"), part 7 The Bishop continues his overview of the Declaration on Religious Freedom ("Dignitatis Humane") from Vatican II.

Every family is a "society" with its own basic rights, and parents have the right to choose the schools and means of education they want their children to have.

The protection of religious freedom or other human rights is not left to individuals, but is the responsibility of everyone, even those who are not believers. The government needs to make sure that there is equality in terms of everyone exercising true religious freedom, with all rights being tempered for the common good.

Bishop Conlon adds that things have been more difficult in the area of ecumenism because of differences in moral and theological areas, making it more and more complex to work toward unity in the Church. But, we still need to seek unity whenever the opportunity opens up, but at the same time we have to be true to our Catholic traditions, which represents the truth revealed by God. 11:23 Bishop R.

All Christians believe in baptism, but there are differences in understanding how that incorporation into the Church occurs, and there is no unity in regards to the Eucharist and in Holy Orders. There are elements of common belief so there should be dialogue about these common beliefs.

He identifies three areas that priests have to pay attention to in terms of their spiritual needs: humility/obedience, celibacy and poverty. Diocesan priests make solemn vows to be obedient to their bishops and embrace lifelong celibacy. Priests should seek will of Christ and the Holy Spirit -- that's where humility comes in. Priest does work of Christ and of holy spirit for the people, which means the priest is not a lone ranger. He is not doing things on his own; he has to have union with Christ and his bishop and the Holy Spirit. The priest works to build up the Body of Christ. He must recognize the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the people he serves. The priest should live in the world but not of the world. He needs to develop a detachment of things of the world so that he is free to focus on his ministry. http://www.dioceseofjoliet.org/2013-02-11BishopConlonRecording.asp 3E0DA214-5D44-4E72-B88C-140C003C3767 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 09:12:35 -0600 Bishop Conlon Talks about on the Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests, part 13 Bishop Conlon talks about Vatican II Council's Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests -- in Latin it is called "Presbyterorum Ordinis" -- and special spiritual requirements in the life of a priest. He identifies three areas that priests have to pay attention to in terms of their spiritual needs: humility/obedience, celibacy and poverty. Diocesan priests make solemn vows to be obedient to their bishops and embrace lifelong celibacy. Priests should seek will of Christ and the Holy Spirit -- that's where humility comes in. Priest does work of Christ and of holy spirit for the people, which means the priest is not a lone ranger. He is not doing things on his own; he has to have union with Christ and his bishop and the Holy Spirit. The priest works to build up the Body of Christ. He must recognize the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the people he serves. The priest should live in the world but not of the world. He needs to develop a detachment of things of the world so that he is free to focus on his ministry. 13:41 Bishop R.
