A HAND OF PEACE - Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust
DVD-0142
High School - Adult
2008
00:55:00
Pope Pius XII guided the Catholic Church through two tumultuous decades, firmly establishing himself as a champion of
peace, and the moral voice of a world torn apart by war. However, shortly after his death in 1958, his heroic legacy has
been called into question by some historians who claim that his alleged "silence" during the Nazi holocaust allowed Hitler
to carry out his Final Solution against the Jews. His was a prophecy in action, which saved the lives of countless victims
of the neo-pagan Nazi reign of terror, rather than potentially counter-productive public statements. This video is an
important contribution to the robust and timely debate that has arisen surrounding Pius's wartime record. Featuring
interviews with the world renowned Holocaust historian Sir Martin Gilbert; the Jesuit historian and postulator Father Peter
Gumpel; and author and ardent Pius defender Sister Margherita Machione, M.P.F., Ph. D.

ADULT LECTURE SERIES - Building a Culture of Life: The Public Policy Challenge
VHS-2924
Adults
2003
00:55:00
The U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision did more than legalize abortion. It introduced into American law the idea
that some lives can be subordinated to the needs or desires of others, can even be disposable. This idea has spread through
public policy dealing with the very young, the very old and those who are very disabled. How can we reverse this trend
and begin rebuilding a culture of life? This presentation was given by Richard Doerflinger, deputy director of the
Secretariat for pro-Life Activities for the USSCB, at the Adult Lecture Series on October 22, 2003.

The transcendent dignity of the human person and the relation of that dignity to political freedom have long been

On this night, he shares with us some of the challenges and successes of his own life and challenges us to think deeply
about how we might impact society with the Gospel message. This video recording is from the Adult Lecture Series from

In recent years the attack on the sanctity of life has broadened to include not only abortion on demand, but also euthanasia,
embryonic stem cell research, cloning and eugenics. In this presentation, Dr. Teresa Farnan will go deeper than the
politics and the passion to the philosophical origins and premises of the culture of death. Dr. Farnan will then identify how
understanding these foundations can enable us to move toward a culture of life in conformity with the teachings of Christ.

Promoting the Culture of Life is often challenging, but Scripture offers a helpful model in the story of the woman at the
well (John 4). Jesus, the Lord of Life, meets the Samaritan woman where she lives. He affirms the limited truth she
speaks, confronts without judging her, and offers a more satisfying way of life. As Christians, we are equipped to imitate
His compassion, respect, and generosity. For many caught up in the Culture of Death, such non accusatory encounters
could offer the freedom to start over and protect all life from conception to natural death. This is the video recording from
the Adult Lecture Series from October 11, 2006 with Deidre A. McQuade.

the rest of the community. This video invites us to look at the beatitudes in just this way.

H.S. - Adult
00:27:00
The Catholic Church is a communion of churches. It is made up of churches from the Eastern Tradition and the Western
Tradition. Every Catholic has a responsibility for understanding the fullness of the Catholic Church. Pope John Paul II
has said, "The church must learn to breathe again with its two lungs, its Eastern one and its Western one." In assessing the
current situation, Cardinal William Baum has stated, "It is clear that, despite progress in this area, there is still need among
Catholics of the Latin tradition for a great deal of knowledge of the peoples, traditions and churches of the Christian East".

THE CATACOMBS - THE BREAD OF LIFE - THE DEVOTIONAL LIFE OF THE CHURCH IN THE EARLY
CENTURIES - PART THREE (3-VIDEO SET)
The Devotional life of the early Christians was largely affected by the threat of persecution or the enduring of persecution.
Even the highest ranking Romans could be the sudden victims of a persecution. Flavius Clemens and M. Acilius Glabrio,
both former consuls, were martyred. The inscriptions in the catacombs attest vigorously to the belief of the Christians in
the Doctrine of the Communion of Saints - the belief that the Saints in Heaven are linked with the faithful on earth and the
suffering Christians in purgatory by their intercessions. There are numerous scratchings or graffiti on the walls of the
catacombs expressing petitions to the saints.

THE CATACOMBS (A GENERAL DESCRIPTION) - PART ONE (3-VIDEO SET)
An understanding of the catacombs requires some knowledge of the persecution of the Christians in Rome. The
persecutions led to the need for burial places and occasional meeting rooms for the Christians. The persecutions lasted
intermittently for almost three centuries from A.D.64 to 312. In times of persecution, the Christians were allowed, even
urged, to conceal their identity, but when discovered, to profess their faith even at the cost of martyrdom. A very large
percentage chose martyrdom. The history of the Church in the time of the catacombs is inspiring and instructive. It is a
history of faith, courage, and ability.

THE CATACOMBS: UPON THIS ROCK - THE HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURE OF THE CHURCH - PART TWO (3VIDEO SET)
As the name indicates, the majestic Church of Saint Peter was erected in honor of the first vicar of Christ who established
the Church in Rome. The Church, also called a "Basilica," is built over the place of Saint Peter's grave. Consequently, the
words of Christ granting to Saint Peter his unique and sacred office are inscribed around the church at the top of the
marble coverings of the walls. The inscription contains the famous words of Christ as contained in the Gospel of St.
Matthew. The catacombs demonstrate that the Church had an efficient and stable type of management and that its spiritual
structure, under the rule of the Pope, was accepted by the Christians.

CLARE OF ASSISI
VHS-1289
H.S. - Adult
00:65:00
In 1989 the Franciscan Sisters of Little Falls and Rochester, Minnesota commissioned Karen Lee Hodgson to write,
produce and perform a one-woman play of the life of Saint Clare of Assisi.
Clare lived during the turbulent thirteenth century. It was a time of civil war, violence, and strife between the rich and
poor. Clare, together with Saint Francis of Assisi, began a penitential movement by their radical adherence to simplicity of
life and the peace of God. Powerful leaders and ordinary people alike come to her for advice and healing.
With humor and grace, Clare struggled with the great leaders of the Church to become the first woman to write and have
approved her own form of life for her order, the Poor Ladies of San Damiano. By the end of her life, thousands of women
followed Clare throughout Medieval Europe.
Now due to its remarkably contemporary message and the international demand for its performance, the play has been
adapted for video by screenwriter Susan Bayer. The play is written from historical documentation of Clare's life and
transforms the exquisite poetry of her letters and writings into a living presence of the Saint.

Gospels. The thread that runs through each of the eight segments is that of discipleship, the call to follow in the footsteps
of Jesus - not necessarily the traces of his footsteps in the lands of Israel and Jordan - but those living traces in our
contemporary world made discernible through the power of God's Spirit within us. Segments: 1. THE DESERT: PLACE
OF NEW BEGINNINGS - Even though the people of Israel became land farmers and city dwellers, they never forgot that
their roots were in the desert. Their ancestors had come to this land from the desert. And, whenever there was a crisis in
their national life or a chance for a new beginning, key people among the Israelites would return to the desert or at least
invoke its haunting memory. 2. BETHLEHEM AND NAZARETH: GOD'S UNEXPECTED WAYS - One could think of
the story of Jesus as the tale of two cities: Bethlehem and Nazareth. Both of them give an unexpected twist to the drama
of the gospel. There is sadness and joy and certainly surprise that the story of Jesus should begin in these places. While
their contemporary character is a far cry from what they were in Jesus' day, it's amazing how many links one can find
between now and then.

JERUSALEM: SEARCH FOR UNITY - As an adult, Jesus came here, too. He came as a pilgrim from Galilee, as
thousands of others did, for the great feasts of Israel: Passover, the Feast of booths, for example. He was at home here
because he was a Jew and this was the house of his Father. He walked the vast courtyards of Herod's Temple. He offered
his gifts for the sacrifice, and mingled with the rabbis and students who stood for hours, praying and discussing the Law.
Jesus taught here. He also healed here. 4. WAY OF PASSION: THE CAUSE OF JUSTICE - Jesus of Nazareth walked
through this valley the night before he died (Mark 14:26-32). This is the Kedron valley that separates the Temple area
from the Mount of Olives. Jesus was on his way from the Passover meal with his disciples up to where the church is - the
Church of Gethsemane - to the olive grove where he used to come to pray.

RISKS OF DISCIPLESHIP - The Gospels portray the heart of the Christian life in this way. Here, by this sea, is where the
disciples first met Jesus; their lives would never be the same. He would be their friend, their teacher, their mater, the one
who would call them to be something they could hardly dream of. 6. JERICHO: JESUS, OASIS FOR OUTCASTS Compassion for the outcast was a hallmark of Jesus' ministry and this town knew his healing touch. Mark tells the story of
Jesus' encounter with Bartimaeus, a blind man and a beggar (Mark 10:46-52). Jesus had made the long, hot journey down
the desert valley from Galilee in the north; he was on his way to Jerusalem, a climb of 16 hard miles from this oasis on the
desert floor to the hills of Judea. As Jesus passed through Jericho, Bartimaeus heard the din of the crowd and knew that the
chance of a lifetime was within his grasp.

MARITIMA: THE UNIVERSAL MISSION OF THE CHURCH - The Acts of the Apostles mentions this city several
times, as we learn of the gradual awakening of the early Church to its worldwide mission. Sometimes we might be tempted
to idealize the early Church and think that after the resurrection it leapt into instant fulfillment of the vision of the gospel.
But Luke reminds us that the earliest Church was a human Church, too, even though it was animated by the Spirit of the
Risen Christ. The City of Caesarea is an eloquent reminder of the struggles of the early Church. 8. THE MOUNTAINS:
VISION OF WHO JESUS IS - For any would-be follower of Jesus, the most haunting question is the one Jesus posed near
here, Caesarea Philippi: "Who do you say that I am?" Ultimately, all of Christian life, all of the work we are to take up in
the world, all of the meaning faith gives our lives depends on the answer to that question. Who is Jesus? That mysterious,
provocative, compelling figure who has touched the hearts of so many people. Jesus loved the mountains. The gospels
tell us that several times he used to climb to a hilltop like this one over the Sea of Galilee, not only to drink in the beautiful
view but to be alone, to pray, to try to meet again that mysterious God that he loved so deeply, and that animated his entire
life (Matthew 14:23; Mark 6:46; Luke 6:12).

DID JESUS REALLY RISE FROM THE DEAD?
DVD-0092.
Adult
2008
00:56:00
If Christ has not been raised, said the Apostle Paul, Christian faith is in vain. The Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth is not
an incidental or minor aspect of Christianity. Skeptics have long tried to show that there was no Resurrection. Today,
there has been a resurgence of attacks on this central truth of Christianity. Some people claim that the followers of Jesus
fabricated the Resurrection. Others argue that the disciples hallucinated or had a "vision" of the dead master, which they
confused with a truly risen Jesus. This video carefully scrutinizes the historical evidence. Rather than accept Christian
belief blindly, top scholars and biblical historians critically examine alternative explanations. In the end, they show why it
is a matter of sound reason as well as faith to affirm what the early Church proclaimed: Jesus is risen!

generation to generation as the African-American community has struggled to remain Catholic.

The second video of this series concentrates on the African-American Catholic story in the Diocese of Belleville, Illinois,
during the middle of the twentieth century. This was a complicated and anxiety-ridden time for both the United States and
the Catholic Church. During the civil-rights struggles of the 1950s and 1960s, many communities made national
headlines, including Cairo, Illinois. Cairo is located in the southern-most part of the Diocese of Belleville. Many leaders
of the Catholic Church in the diocese at that time did not understand or openly support the work of the young priests who
preached a social gospel message. There was conflict on the streets of Belleville.

story about the obligation of social ministry in the Catholic Church today and tomorrow. This story is about hope, a
steadfast, unrelenting faith in God, and the ongoing struggle of a community of African-American Catholics to remain
Catholic.

EUCHARIST
VHS-1492
Jr. H. - Adult
00:09:00
"Let us celebrate the mystery of faith." This film is a beautiful experience which brings all the life-giving elements of our
daily lives into the celebration of the Eucharistic liturgy. It illustrates that faith is not only a belief in the presence of Christ
in the bread and wine, but also an inner realization of Christ's incarnational and redemptive presence in every aspect of
human life. The video uses many images - clouds, rain, a flower breaking through the earth, a wounded soldier eventually
rescued, a boy finally accepted into a game, a child bringing laughter and flowers into lonely lives of the aged - all bound
together with the Eucharistic liturgy. Compact, well-edited, a powerful video that helps Christians experience the
relationship of liturgy and life, especially in death and resurrection.
EUCHARIST - Celebrating Community
VHS-2765
Parents
1998
00:13:00
This engaging video starts with seven-year-old Ben wondering about the significance of bread and wine as he prepares for
his First Communion celebration. His father explains that bread was a diet staple in the time of Jesus, and so it was a
symbol of life and nourishment - just as the Eucharist gives us new life and spiritual nourishment today. In this video,
parents learn how important the Sacrament of Eucharist is for their faith journey as a family and how essential their role is
in nurturing the faith of their child. They learn too that the trappings that often surround First Communion: what to wear,
what gifts to give, what kind of party to have, are insignificant compared to the gift of Jesus their child will receive in the
Eucharist. Parents preparing for their child's First Communion will be inspired, informed, and encouraged by this
thoughtful, prayerful presentation.

an excellent way to do that is through the Sacrament of the Eucharist. In this video, your children will begin to understand
the Real Presence of our Lord in the Eucharist. They will encounter Jesus in the solemnity of the Mass, the quiet of
adoration and the splendor of a Corpus Christi Procession. Your children will also experience the Lord through the beauty
of the Church, inspiring music and the vibrant spirit of our DVD host Jennifer Naimo. Jennifer brings her Broadway talent
to a new dimension in this ministry to little children. This DVD is an excellent way to prepare your children for their First
Holy Communion. It will also give them a better understanding of the Mass.

With Advent quickly approaching, we soon will begin preparing for another Christmas season. Again this year, we will
hear the complaint, perhaps louder and more frequent than ever - "Christmas has become too commercial!" It's a $20
billion a year industry now, a big money-maker for retailers, advertisers and - most of all - the toy companies. But what
can we do in the midst of a consumer society that distorts our most cherished values? This timely video teaches children
and reminds parents why people began to give gifts at Christmas time, and offers practical solutions for simpler, nonmaterialistic Yuletide celebrations.

This video was prepared to stimulate reflection- and action- by Sisters of Mercy on the occasion of the Quincentenary.
Our constitutions call us "to relieve misery, to address its causes, and to support all persons who struggle for full dignity."
We know that the dignity of a person transcends what that person may or may not possess; but we also know that the
struggle to have that dignity acknowledged is most often tied to economics and that economics cannot be isolated from
community. How can we make economics understandable and manageable? First, by examining our own experience and
attitude toward economics, about how money is earned, obtained and spent; then, by asking how individuals and
communities exert influence over economic decisions that affect them personally. Any finally, by joining our voices and
our energy with others in the effort to redirect the vast economic resources of the earth.

Nestled deep in the French Alps, the Grande Charteuse is considered one of the world's most ascetic monasteries. In 1984,
German filmmaker Philip Groning wrote to the Carthusian Order for permission to make a documentary about them. They
said they would get back to him. Sixteen years later, they were ready. Groning filmed their daily prayers, tasks, rituals
and rare outdoor excursions. This transcendent film seeks to embody a monastery, rather than simply depict one - it has no
score, no voiceover and no archival footage. What remains is stunningly elemental: time, space, and light.

The Video - Cracow, Poland, 1939. On the eve of World War II, two couples decide to be married. One couple, Andrej
and Teresa, buy their rings from a jeweler, played by Burt Lancaster. The mysterious old man tells them about the
significance of the rings as symbols of love and everlasting unity. He knows one day his path will cross with theirs again.
And so this remarkable story unfolds. Spanning two generations and two continents, it follows both couples years later;
parted by war and tragedy, but brought together again by circumstance with families of their own. Teresa (Olivia Hussey)
now a widow, has a son who falls in love with the daughter of the second couple, Anna and Stefan (Ben Cross). Their
children's love serves to test the meaning of Anna's and Stefan's own troubled marriage and the significance of their
relationship. Driven by the uncertainty of her future with Stefan, Anna finds herself back in Poland, only to face the
mysterious jeweler from years before. There she learns the answer and finds the hope that all of us seek.
This video encapsulates and embodies its theme, "The future depends on Love..."

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN: A DOWNRIGHT ACCOUNT
VHS-1292
Adult
00:60:00
Newman, one of the most prominent clergymen of the 19th century, was converted to a devout Christianity under
Calvinistic influence at age 15. He spent half of his life as an Anglican. Recognized as a prime figure in the "Oxford
Movement," Newman converted to Roman Catholicism in 1845 and was made a cardinal in 1879. This two-part hour long
program was filmed at Birmingham Oratory, on location in and around Oxford, at the colleges of Oriel and Trinity and the
University Church of St. Mary's. Included are Newman scholars and a group of actors who give presentations from his
works. Newman's life (1801-1890) is well documented; indeed, 21,000 of his personal letters survive - enough to fill 31
volumes when they are published, and during his lifetime he saw 40 volumes through the press.
This brisk and compelling documentary video provides an informative overview of his life, work, and thinking that will be

Sometimes a koala has to do what a koala has to do. That's what Kylie decides in this moving story that shows youngsters
how important it is to develop their own individual capabilities, since it is the differences among people that make them
special. Born with a song in her heart, Kylie is at odds with the dictum that koalas are not supposed to sing. She soon
learns that being different is lonely and hard, but she also discovers that conformity doesn't necessarily lead to
contentment. With the encouragement of a dancing wallaby and a platypus who likes to drum, Kylie becomes that best
singer she can be and earns the respect of all who hear her.

The enchanting tale of THE LITTLE PRINCE, which has delighted children and adults for generations, now comes to
vibrant life in this animated
adaptation of the beloved classic by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

that one sees rightly."
VHS-1286
General Audience
00:27:00
This enchanting French classic was written by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Children of all ages are moved by its exquisite
and tender sadness. The Little Prince lived on a tiny planet watching over his three volcanoes and tending a single rose of
great beauty. Because of a painful misunderstanding with his beloved rose, he left the planet in search of "matters of
consequence." Eventually his travels took him to Earth where he made friends with a fox. It was the fox who taught him
that "it is only with the heart that one see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye." The Little Prince concluded that
we are too bogged down in trivia. Instead we should concentrate on "matters of consequence" such as laughter, sunsets,
roses and friendship.

VHS-2747
1999
00:55:00
From Thursday night until sundown on Saturday, the Church prays and keeps the paschal fast. And then! Then, the
Church celebrates the great Easter Vigil, which is the subject of this video. "This is the night," the cantor proclaims, the
night spent first around a blazing fire, then around a newly-lighted candle, then with the Scriptures, from which we
proclaim once again the stories of our salvation. Then, the procession moves to the font, where those who have been long
preparing renounce evil, profess faith in Christ, and enter the waters. Then, they are anointed with chrism and join the rest
of the joyful assembly to celebrate the Eucharist. It is a splendid night, indeed!
LITURGIES OF THE TRIDUUM - Good Friday (CC)

unlike any other day of the year. Kneeling or prostrate, all are silent. Then the Scriptures are proclaimed, and many
prayers of intercession are chanted. Finally, the holy cross is set down in the midst of the church, and, for as long as it
takes, each person comes forward to venerate and honor the wood of the cross, all the while singing of its glory.

Easter Sunday afternoon. This video explores what we do in the first hours of the Triduum, after Lent is quietly left
behind. We see and hear how the Church assembles on Thursday night and processes into the Paschal Triduum. After
people have heard powerful Scripture readings, taken time to wash each other's feet, raised a collection for the poor,
celebrated Eucharist and gone singing in procession with the Blessed Sacrament - then the Three Days are well begun.

LORD OF OUR HEALING
VHS-1311
Intermediate - Jr. H.
00:20:00
LORD OF OUR HEALING - UNDERSTANDING THE SACRAMENT OF THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK
Teach your students about a gracious and loving Lord. When your students raise difficult questions about illness and
dying, there are no easy answers. When stock explanations and overused dictionary definitions won't cut it, LORD OF
OUR HEALING - can help.
This video was produced by Redemptorist Pastoral Communications to help religious educators. It answers the difficult
questions young people often ask about death, dying, and healing - and the sacrament which concerns these issues.
The story involves the leaders and members of a Youth Group whose discussion of the Sacrament of the Anointing of the
Sick is triggered by the illness of a group member's relative. Some students believe that the "Last Rites" are performed
only on people who are dying. Father Pat and Marianne, leaders of the Youth Group, correct misconceptions and help
them understand the sacrament.
Through detailed explanations, LORD OF OUR HEALING discusses: Biblical origins and the history of the sacrament,
changes in the sacrament over the years - from Extreme Unction to The Anointing of the Sick, and how the sacrament is
actually celebrated.
The young people in the video learn that the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick promises not physical healing, but
spiritual strength, so that whatever the Lord's plan, the recipient will be spiritually prepared. Your students will understand
that this sacrament is not a final blessing - it is a sign of God's concern for the entire person, body and soul.

LOST GOSPELS OR FALSE GOSPELS?
DVD-0079.
High School - Adult
2007
00:56:00
Christians have long accepted Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - the four gospels of the New Testament - as the only
reliable accounts of the life and teaching of Jesus of Nazareth. Recent media stories and certain best-selling books have
alerted the public to alternative writings about Jesus, leading many people - including many believers - to wonder why we
should consider only the four New Testament gospels as "gospel truth." The alternative writings about Jesus bear the
names of such prominent early Christians as Peter, Thomas, Mary Magdalene, Judas, James, and Andrew. Some of these
writings purport to contain "secret" teachings of Jesus, to recount his childhood or to fill in other gaps in the story of
Jesus. Some contradict the New Testament. Are these works "lost gospels" or "false gospels"? In this thought-provoking
film, top scholars of early Christian writings discuss the relationship between these works and the New Testament. The
experts also explore Gnostic writings, and they reveal startling facts about the groups who composed them.

Throughout the ages the artist has tried to meet the challenge of interpreting the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with
the aim of expressing through her features the role in salvation - entrusted to her by Providence - that of helping people to
communicate with God. Often this interpretation was guided by the prevailing expressive movement.
This video traces a journey which covers twenty centuries and looks at the basic aspects of this following of the Cult of the
Virgin Mary. Its real aim, however, is to open up avenues of exploration into the huge wealth of work through which the
artist constantly attempts to visualize and present his faith in so many different ways, whether it be for the researcher's
attention, the pilgrim's wonder or the devotion of the faithful.

hears and brings God's word to others. As her life unfolds, we are invited to place our own thanks, joy, sadness, trust,
worries and faith on her cloak of many colors as she once did in her own life. "We Pray With Mary: The Cloak on Many
Colors" (Grades 1-5, 17 min.) This video teaches children how to pray with Mary. It helps children learn favorite Marian
prayers including: the Hail Mary, the Rosary, a litany of Mary, the Angelus and the Magnificat. It also teaches them about
Mary's feast days in the liturgical calendar. Shrines, art, sculpture and songs speak with the beauty and love of Mary in

(Middle School - Adult, 24 min.) - Ten years after the Spanish Conquest of Mexico in 1521, an Indian peasant named Juan
Diego saw a beautiful lady standing on the barren Tepeyac Hill. The lady dressed as an Indian woman, had Indian features
and spoke to Juan Diego in his own language. She gave him a message for the bishop: "Build my church here." Juan
Diego was viewed as an illiterate and naive peasant, so his story was doubted. The bishop asked for a sign. Three days

MASS FOR CHILDREN, THE
VHS-1299
Intermediate
00:33:00
The Mass is an integral part of faith life - a spiritual, faith-affirming, even healing experience. Unfortunately, many
children see the Mass only as a Sunday Obligation or a chance to see their friends. But with THE MASS FOR
CHILDREN, the Mass can become a central part of students' lives.
This video centers around a group of children who are unruly and uninvolved during the celebration of Mass. When the
celebrant, Father Maurice Nutt, asks the children why they refused to participate, he finds that they really don't understand
the Mass at all.
As Father Nutt explains the details of the Mass and answers the students' questions, the video cuts to scenes of a Mass
celebrated by Bishop Paul Zipfel.
This video uses strong images of Jesus throughout, and concentrates on real-life situations. With short vignettes, it shows
how we can bring problems with family and friends to the Mass and experience reconciliation in the Eucharist.

I lost Martha.
I've always been able to count on you when I've felt dark inside. You were right there every time. Even when I didn't feel
good about myself, I knew that you cared for me enough, and that made me feel better. I love you. You've been my finest
friend and that means I can hold my head high wherever I go."

have to make a moral choice, the educational content of this video is pertinent to every Catholic. The video states and
explains the principles of respect for human life from its origins and the inseparability of the unitive and procreative
meanings of the conjugal act.

This program begins with an inspiring photo meditation, Elderly Beatitudes. Then it proceeds to introduce us to seniors

ON FIRE WITH FAITH
VHS-1172
H.S. - Adult
00:60:00
On Fire With Faith explores the encounter of the Spanish conquistadors and missionaries with the native peoples of the
territory that became the Southwestern United States. This encounter gave rise to a new culture and race - a mestizaje.
Narrated by Rosana DeSoto, this video recounts the events leading to the arrival of Columbus and the subsequent
exploration by the Spanish. The narration brings the story into the present with contemporary Hispanics who witness their
faith through active lives of service to others. Among those interviewed are: A Tucson woman who reaches out to
inactive Catholics and the unchurched; a San Francisco sister who works with people who have AIDS; a San Antonio
woman who supports people seeking political asylum. The story also includes the efforts of a Native American New
Mexican woman who has worked for twenty years to preserve her native Tewa language in written form.
On Fire With Faith echoes the themes of the U.S. Bishops' pastoral, Heritage and Hope: Evangelization in the United
States.

VHS-2756

This video stimulates enthusiasm and commitment to adult faith formation with an introduction from Bishop Donald Wuerl
(US Bishops' Committee on Education). The story segment retells Luke's account of the disciples on the road to Emmaus
in a contemporary drama. When a Catholic couple's identity and faith are challenged by a crisis, three encounters - with
neighbors, a friend and a child - help them meet Christ "along the way." In the witness segment, adult Catholics share five
approaches to adult faith formation: liturgy, family- or home-centered activities, small groups, large groups and individual
activities. In the teaching segment, Dr. Matthew J. Hayes, a pioneer in adult faith formation, talks about the importance of
nurturing adult faith and the pivotal role of the parish in this effort. The program concludes with a music video segment
that retells the Emmaus story and highlights the characteristics - living, explicit and fruitful - of mature adult faith and
discipleship.

pregnancy and disease are still major problems. This episode of "On the Air" will look at sex from a biblical perspective.
Young people will discover the benefits of abstinence; and receive practical tips on how to say "no".

This video program focuses on this broad sense of liturgical dance as bodily movement in worship. The program offers an
opportunity to religious educators & to those responsible for guiding others in prayer to become more aware of the body as
a focus for prayer in accordance with Church directives. Liturgical dance is not a performance with spectators but an
invitation to worship God with one's whole being.

PIECE OF THE PIE, A

H.S. - Adult
00:11:00
A story of the Haves and the Have-Nots. A Piece of the Pie is a charming, yet thought provoking soliloquy on the unequal
division of the world's riches as they exist today. William Cleary addresses an imagined foursome who sit at the table
preparing to eat their dessert, a pie lovingly prepared by the cook (God). The action focuses on the small piece of pie that
the four (the "haves") are willing to share with a larger group of people (the "have-nots") who stand outside waiting for
something to eat.
A Piece of the Pie is ideal for adult and teen study groups examining issues of social justice. The material is challenging
and honest, as it cuts to the heart of the disparity between those who have and those who do not. Cleary's words offer a
timely opportunity for thoughtful Christians to evaluate their response to poverty in our world today.

"Kevin's Temptation" which is based on the Gospel encounter between Jesus and the devil. Kevin, like Jesus, is tempted
three times, and he has to draw on faith and courage to resist. The goal of this story is to help children understand the
concepts of temptation, conscience, and courage. The final video is "Reconciliation: Celebrating Forgiveness" which

PURITY IN AN IMPURE AGE - Discovering God's Glorious Plan for Sexuality
DVD-0065
2005

What is Christian purity? More than likely, it is not what you think. Purity is not puritanism. Nor is it prudishness. These
approaches to the body and sexuality actually flow from impurity. Christian purity is the ability to see the mystery of God
revealed through the body and sexuality. As the "Catechism of the Catholic Church" says, "purity of heart "enables us to
see according to God…; it lets us perceive the human body - ours and our neighbor's - as a …manifestation of divine
beauty" (CCC 2519). Pope John Paul II even described the body as a "theology". Because the body and sexuality are
meant to proclaim God's eternal plan of love to the world. In this talk, Christopher West explains how Pope John Paul II's
"theology of the body" is the answer to the crisis of our times.

Cardinal Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan was a political prisoner of the Communist regime in Vietnam for thirteen
years, nine of which he spent in solitary confinement. His remarkable faith sustained him during those long years when he
would celebrate Mass in secret with three drops of wine in the palm of his hand and the host smuggled inside a flashlight
by his faithful. This documentary explores the man and his message. This powerful film traces the history of Thuan from
his privileged upbringing in a powerful political family to decades of war, betrayal, and suffering - all experiences which
helped form his singular conviction that "Love Conquers All."

ROBERT COLES: TEACHER
VHS-1486
Adult
00:57:00
For over 30 years, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Coles has been listening to children around the world, recording
and absorbing their attitudes toward racial crisis, poverty, isolation and moral issues. He is also a professor at Harvard
University, where his course, "The Literature of Social Reflection," is the most popular course offered. This extraordinary
documentary follows his course allowing the viewer to feel like a part of the class.
As the video ends with students giving Coles a standing ovation, we understand why this course is given and taken - not
to fulfill a requirement for graduation but to fulfill a longing to live a purposeful, reflective life long after other courses are
forgotten.
The New York Times --- "Dr. Coles believes that modern life and thought have been invaded by number-crunching, selfloving, concept-pushers whose limitations have diminished us all. Against this he pits the power of storytelling and a set
of values that has a very large place for the mysterious, the sacred, the surprising - that which is generous and spontaneous
and touched by what he would be comfortable calling grace."

In a world filled with double talk and hidden messages, Buster Soaries communicates. Youth and their parents find his
style compelling - his content life-changing.
"I believe today's kids are victims in a society they did not create. How can we blame the children for unwanted
pregnancies when we have told them they can do whatever they want? I believe today's kids are intelligent enough to
make wise decisions about their own futures. But, before they decide, they must have all the options, and this includes
God's plan for sex."
In SAFE SEX? DON'T BUY THE LIE! The world's idea of "safe sex" is leading our kids to a poor self-image, and many
unwanted pregnancies. If we don't help these kids make wise decisions, we can count ourselves responsible for the actions
of the generation we brought up."

Who was St. Patrick? The man that came to be the patron saint of Ireland was an ordinary man who accomplished the
extraordinary by placing his faith in God. Originally sent to Ireland in the 5th Century as a bishop to lead Irish Christians,
Patrick chose instead to bring Christianity to those Irish not yet converted, and did so without bloodshed. As a result of his
life and work, there emerged a uniquely Celtic form of Christianity, a religion firmly Christian in belief yet not far
removed from the traditions, practice and law of the Irish.

places traveled, the more clear the picture became - there is a resemblance between holy lives lived and lives living for the
holy. Take an unforgettable pilgrimage and meet St. Peter, St. Gianna Beretta Molla, Blessed Rupert Mayer, St. Edith
Stein, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Clare of Assisi, Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, and Blessed John XXIII. Share in the lives

Grades 1 - 4, Parents and Sponsors
2001
00:10:00
For the Christian, Church is much more than a building. The local parish is a young person's most direct contact with the
Church community. Here a child discovers, through instruction and modeling, how to live and grow as a member of the
Body of Christ and celebrate that life with others. This program is presented as a child's religion class report on Church.
A young person's crayon drawings "come alive" in video image depicting what it means to "be Church". Diverse cultures
are represented to help children see that "my church" is broader than "my parish". When used in preparation for Baptism,
Confirmation, or First Eucharist, or with any group of children who are learning about the Church community, this video
invites children and the significant adults in their lives to a greater awareness of the Spirit active among them.

H.S. - Adult
2000
00:52:00
This comprehensive video series offers an in-depth view of the Middle East in the past century, with a judiciously
balanced perspective on its endless conflicts and turmoil. The Middle East in 1900 was largely dominated by the Ottoman
Empire. When that empire sided with Germany against Britain in World War I, the British incited the Arabic people to
rebel against their Ottoman rulers. To lure the United States into alliance with Britain the Jewish Zionists were promised
their historical homeland. But neither promise was honored, and both Arabs and Jews felt betrayed, coming to conflict
with each other and with Britain, which sought to rule the Middle East as its colony. World War II brought the Holocaust
and the birth of Israel - and a string of consequent wars and uneasy truces.
VHS-2826

This video is Part 2 in this three video set. World War II saw the Arabs driven by British colonialism to support the Axis.
Lebanon and Syria gained their independence from France during the war, but Britain sought to maintain its dominion over
the Holy Land and other areas of the Middle East. The Haganah, Irgun, and Stern organizations sought successfully to
drive out the British occupiers, and Israel was born in 1948; war with the neighboring Arab states began immediately. But
the birth of Israel also gave birth to a passionate Arab sense of nationalism.

powerful American support drove the British and French from their control of the Suez Canal, a turning point which
exhilarated the Arab world.

will continue to keep alive the memory of all the unique people and events that bind the family together.
His daughter doesn't understand his preoccupation with storytelling in the face of death. Desperate, she confronts him
once more with how critical his illness is. Still, almost in spite of herself, Lucy joins her father as he struggles for breath in
telling a story. Together they tell a favorite story which ends with the words "Don't you know, all that counts is love?"
Now Lucy realizes that the mantle of storyteller is being passed to her. She sees that in doing this her father is, indeed,
preparing for death. She sees, as he does, that keeping alive the family story is a way to insure the continuity of love and
of all that identifies a family and gives meaning to its existence.
STORYTELLERS speaks to the importance of all our personal stories in giving meaning to our lives and in making us
aware of the divine pattern in our existence.

2000
00:28:20
This program, featuring Bishop Donald W. Wuerl of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, is titled, "The First Letter to the
Corinthians - Living Tradition of the Church". In this program, the bishop discusses how Saint Paul's teachings to the
Corinthians show how the doctrine of the Church developed and how that doctrine gives the faithful comfort 2000 years
later. His guest is the Rev. William J. Fay, Professor of Sacred Scripture and Vice Rector at Saint Vincent Seminary in
Latrobe. In his teaching, the bishop says that one of the most significant things about Paul's letter is that it contains many
of the beliefs the Church holds today, even though it was written a mere 25 years after Jesus' resurrection. "We see a
continuity between the very person of Christ and His apostles and what we believe and what the Church professes today,"
Bishop Wuerl says. Paul's letter, the bishop says, was written to call the Corinthian community back to the living apostolic
tradition of the Gospel passed down from Christ from Christ Himself. Paul's words thus encourage us to look to the
Church for guidance, the bishop says, not our personal opinions. "There's no such thing as someone receiving, having, a
special insight that allows them to contravene what is the received tradition of the Church, " he sys. "The revelation comes
to us in and through Christ's Church, in and through those teachers who verify that tradition, that teaching." The Bishop
and Rev. Fay discuss how such a living tradition offers the faithful comfort even now, as the Church faces new challenges.
Though these challenges may be daunting, Fay says, "we have these tremendous gifts - the apostolic tradition, the gifts of
the Spirit, the guidance of the Spirit for the Church - in any age, which enable us to have the courage to face the problems
positively." The usual format of the program includes an initial segment featuring the bishop's teaching, followed by a
discussion with a guest or guests and a closing prayerful reflection.

This program, featuring Bishop Donald W. Wuerl of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, is entitled, "The Family in Catholic
Belief". On this feast of the Holy Family, the bishop says it is "an opportunity to look at and to reflect on family, family
life and what that means." The bishop's guests are Gregory and Lisa Popcak, authors of books on the importance of family
life and marriage, including For Better Forever and Parenting with Grace. "The purpose of writing the books is to show
how marriage and family is one of the most wonderful opportunities to become the people that God wants us to be," says
Greg Popcak. Lisa adds, "Everything we do in life, especially with families, can be a prayer, an act of love." She notes that
simple acts like getting a glass of water for a child can be seen as corporal works of mercy. Bishop Wuerl comments on
the spiritual aspects of marriage and family, saying, "You see the relationship to each other as part of God's plan
unfolding - what God has called you to be in life. There is a sense," the bishop continues, "in which the family is the
archetype of everything else that we want to describe in terms of human relationships, in terms of community life, in terms
of how we relate to other people, because our first experience of any type of human relationship is within the family. "The
family life we experience in our home is supposed to also help us understand the relationship we're supposed to have with
each other in grace." Bishop Wuerl says. He points out how "this is a time to take that image, the Holy Family - Mary,
Joseph, Jesus - their love, their care, their communion, their concern and apply that to our own lives and the lives of all
with whom we're related." The usual format of the program includes an initial segment featuring the bishop's teaching,
followed by a discussion with a guest or guests and a closing prayerful reflection.

TEACHING OF CHRIST, THE - Letter to the Romans, The - Pt. 2 (CC)
VHS-2558
2000
00:28:20
This program, featuring Bishop Donald W. Wuerl of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, is titled, "The Letter to the Romans - The
Gift of Salvation - Part II". In this program, the bishop continues to focus on the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans, which
is one of the largest pieces in the letters of the New Testament. His guest is Dr. Scott Hahn, Professor of Theology and
Scriptures at Franciscan University of Steubenville. The bishop notes that Saint Paul looks at the whole plan God has for
our salvation - "God's intervention in our world, through the act of faith that each one of us places in Christ." Dr. Hahn
observes that most conversions are not as dramatic as Paul's, that God instead, "works through ordinary circumstances,"
but faith can lead us to receiving eternal life. "When we receive eternal life," Dr. Hahn said, "the Trinity becomes our own
everlasting home." Bishop Wuerl adds that "As we nurture faith with the Eucharist, this newly created eternal life is
welling up within us. It is not just symbolic language, but truly a new creation." In his teaching, the bishop goes on to
discuss the justification that is described in the Letter to the Romans. While, "all have sinned,…they are justified freely by
His grace through the redemption in Jesus Christ…By His death, by His blood, by His hanging on the cross and dying for
us, Jesus expiated all of our sins, all of the failure, everything that was the cumulative failure of humanity, from Adam on
through you and me. And was in this wiping away that we are justified. But it doesn't happen automatically…We have to
respond by an act of faith, making that leap, accepting Christ as our Lord and our Savior," But this doesn't accomplish
everything for the rest of our lives, the bishop concludes. The act of faith needs to be regularly renewed and strengthened
through reception of the sacraments. The usual format of the program includes an initial segment featuring the bishop's
teaching, followed by a discussion with a guest or guests and a closing prayerful reflection.
TEACHING OF CHRIST, THE - 250th Anniversary of the First Mass in Pittsburgh, The (CC)
VHS-2980
2004
00:28:15
This program, featuring Bishop Donald W. Wuerl, is titled "The 250th Anniversary of the First Mass in Pittsburgh." Father
Ronald Lengwin, diocesan spokesman and director of the Office for Public and Community Affairs, and Kenneth White,
director of the diocesan Archives and Records Center, are the bishop’s guests. Bishop Wuerl begins this week’s program
by noting that the Eucharist is the summit of the Catholic faith. For thousand of years Christians around the world have
celebrated the Eucharist. As new territories formed in new lands such as America, Catholics settled and brought their faith
with them. And so it was that in April 1754 Father Denys Baron celebrated the first Mass in what is now called Pittsburgh.
Throughout the first part of this episode, Bishop Wuerl recounts the events surrounding this event adding, "it’s very fitting
that when we celebrate an anniversary, when we mark some specific moment in the life of the Church that we do it at the
Table of the Lord, just as they gathered 250 years ago to celebrate the Eucharist." During the interview segment, the
bishop, Father Lengwin and Kenneth White further explore the history behind the first mass. The gentlemen especially
explore a historical painting depicting the first mass in Pittsburgh. White walks viewers through the historical symbols and
significance within the painting. Father Lengwin provides the spiritual significance of the painting which for years hung in
his office at the diocese. "To me as I look at [the painting] these are my brothers and sisters. These are the communion of
saints. These are people who at that time, the mid eighteenth century, are trying to live their lives according to the will of
God," Father Lengwin says.

of Christ.” This episode is the second in a series exploring the Advent season. “John the Baptist is a very powerful and
dominant figure in the opening chapters of the Gospel … he is presented, in a certain sense, as the bridge between the Old
and New Covenants,” the Bishop begins. John the Baptist was “the last of the prophets and the first of the heralds of
Christ among us,” he says. The Church emphasizes the life of John the Baptist during Advent because his role was to
point to Jesus and say “This is the one you have been waiting for.” The Church continues in this same role of pointing to
Jesus. “And like John the Baptist, the Church challenges us, ‘Prepare yourself; prepare in our society; prepare in our way,
in our world, the way of the Lord so that when He comes, when He comes in our life, when He comes in our world, He
will find already some of the rough ways made smooth because we have taken the time and the trouble to prepare a way
for the Lord,’” Bishop Wuerl explains. Advent is not just a reflection on the past, it is a reminder that the Second Coming
of Christ is a reality of faith. Bishop Wuerl elaborates on the responsibility of every Catholic to prepare for Christ’s second
coming through the manifestation of the kingdom of God in their lives.

of God’s Kingdom in Our World." This program is the last in a series exploring the meaning of the Advent season.
Archbishop Wuerl begins this episode by explaining what is the "Kingdom of God." The Kingdom is the unfolding of
God’s plan in our world, he says. God’s plan includes the mystery of sending Jesus "to reveal to us who God is, and,
therefore, who we are," Archbishop Wuerl explains. We as mere humans cannot grasp God and yet God still desires to be
with us – so much so that He sent His Son "so that He could speak to us with a human voice, that we with human ears and
human intelligence and human understanding could comprehend the message that God is with us," Archbishop Wuerl
said. God is with us and continues to be with us through the Sacraments, the Archbishop explains. "The sacraments are
those moments when all the divine, all the transcendent, all the infinite, all the glory of God touches, intersects with the
human, the finite, the impoverished – you and me." Scriptures reveal for us God’s plan for His kingdom. During the
Advent season we take a closer look at Scripture to understand better how some of God’s plan has already unfolded. And
we look to the future for the fulfillment of God’s plan in the Second Coming of Christ. Archbishop Wuerl reflects upon
various passages in scripture that herald Christ’s coming. He also elaborates on our role in manifesting God’s Kingdom.

This program of "The Teaching of Christ", featuring Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl, is titled "Advent – The Second
Coming of Christ." This program is the first in a series exploring the meaning of the Advent season. What is the Catholic
Church proclaiming during the celebration of the Eucharist when it prays, "Christ will come again"? What is it
anticipating? The Catholic faith focuses on two occasions of judgment, the first being at death. "But there is also, in our
faith, the understanding that there will be a general judgment, that there will be a final judgment and it’s this judgment that
brings us face to face with the reality of Jesus’ Second Coming, His return in glory to claim everything that is His, to claim
all that has been and made one with Him as part of the new creation," the Archbishop says. Advent is an excellent time to
focus on Christ’s Second Coming because we are reflecting upon Jesus’ First Coming at Bethlehem, he says. "And the
reflection on that is meant to help us realize and visualize in our own hearts, in our mind’s eye, in our faith, that there is
going to be a Second Coming," he explains. During Advent, Christians are anticipating and longing for the birth of Christ.
They are also yearning and longing for their reuniting with Christ in their heavenly home. Yearning and longing for God is
a part of who we are, the archbishop explains. No one knows the time that they will return to Christ, the archbishop says,
but Jesus tells us in the Gospel reading for the first Sunday of Advent to "Be Watchful! Be Alert!" All of what we are

This program, featuring Bishop Donald W. Wuerl of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, is entitled, "Angels as Expressions of
God’s Love". Reverend Ronald P. Lengwin, Secretary for Pastoral Life, is the bishop’s guest, and has a special devotion to
the angels. The bishop notes that God’s act of creation brought into being two orders – the corporeal, or physical, and the
other, the non-corporeal, or the realm of spiritual beings. This realm includes the angels, meant, the bishop says, "to show
forth the glory of God." Another reason for angels is "to show us the provident and caring power of God." Father Lengwin
says, "Angels ministered to Christ in so many ways. They were at His birth, present throughout His life, and at His
Resurrection. They are part of His life, and they are part of us. Guardian angels," Father Lengwin adds, "protect and guide
us. They are a source of hope, and they work in bringing the right people together at the right time." Bishop Wuerl points
out that "Angels help us to understand God. They inspire us and remind us there is more than the physical world,…They
widen our perspective on our relationship with God." Another reason we have angels, the bishop continues, "is to come
into our lives, come into reality, come into our faith as an expression of the wondrous power of God to create, of the
magnificence of God and of God’s provident and loving care for each one of us." The usual format of the program
includes an initial segment featuring the bishop’s teaching, followed by a discussion with a guest or guests and a closing
prayerful reflection.

Healing Power of God.” The bishop’s guest is Father Frank Mitolo, a diocesan priest and chaplain at Allegheny General
Hospital. Bishop Wuerl and Father Mitolo discuss the part faith plays in physical healing. “I think one of the first things
faith does for people is helps them alleviate fear. It helps them really trust that there is more to this experience than what
they are experiencing in the moment,” Father Mitolo says. “When their mindset is more at ease their body heals better.”
Bishop Wuerl notes that if a person who is in the hospital and struggling often they can draw on their faith “because deep
in side, if that patient has faith, if that patient believes in God, they can tap into that inner gift of God.”

member of St. Florian Parish in Westmoreland County in the Greensburg diocese. Holmes and Hricik discuss the roles of
the Slovak fraternal associations both in terms of their roles in helping widows, children and orphans and also in
preserving and maintaining the Slovak history and culture. “Our ladies association was founded in 1892 to help widows
and children,” Holmes said. “We promoted youth activities as well and founded our Junior Order in 1905.” Hricik added
that the First Catholic Slovak Union is the oldest Slovak fraternal society in the world. Saints Cyril and Methodius are
particularly revered by Slavic people because they played an important cultural role as well, creating an alphabet and
translating the Gospels into the Slavonic tongue. Their Slavonic liturgy was sanctioned by Pope Adrian II and later by
Pope John VIII.
“They were evangelists to the Slavic people,” Hricik said. “They were inspired by God and used the language of the
people, and brought us to God. At the time, only Hebrew, Latin and Greek were recognized for the Gospels. Cyril and
Methodius brought the Slavic language into the Church.”

Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), have a special appreciation for the sacrament of Baptism—God’s gift of salvation.
The bishop’s teaching is on Baptism—how we become part of the Body of Christ, the Church, through the Sacrament of
Baptism, most commonly experienced for Catholics as infants, or as adults who join the Church through the RCIA
process. The Stroms note the importance of understanding the faith as adults, in order to be able to teach it to their
children. They also acknowledged how greater understanding enabled them to appreciate the Sacrament of Baptism even
more.

VHS-3125

This program of "The Teaching of Christ", featuring Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl, is titled "The Bishops’ Teaching
about God the Father." Father Brian Welding, Director of Spiritual Formation for the diocesan seminary and Judicial Vicar
for the diocese, is the archbishop’s guest this week. "Our Creed speaks to us, proclaims, represents what it is that we
believe. It’s a summary statement of the faith of the Church," Archbishop Wuerl begins. "If this is a summary of the faith
of the Church, what do we mean by the term ‘faith’?" "What we express in our lives publicly has to come from our
interior belief," Father Welding says. Faith is in many cases the action of believing in something that cannot be proved,
the archbishop says. But faith goes deeper to knowing exactly what we believe. The Creed outlines this belief for us, he
says. Archbishop Wuerl reveals the formation of the Apostle and Nicene creeds as Catholics know them today. He also
examines the theology within the creeds, beginning with the first article of the Creed. "The first article in the Creed is a
very simple one … is our belief in God," Archbishop Wuerl says. "This is the first article of the Creed. Faith in God is
unique. There is no other God. That’s the simple statement of the Creed. And we believe." In the interview segment,
Archbishop Wuerl and Father Welding further explore why it is important that the Church has a Creed. "When we gather
publicly as a group who believe in the expression of that Paschal Mystery, we need to go out and proclaim that belief in a
wider context. Nourished from the Eucharist, we go out into the world and proclaim what we believe. The recitation of the
Creed reminds us and fortifies us," Father Welding adds. Archbishop Wuerl and Father Welding further explore the
meaning of the first article of the Creed, God as our Father. We look at salvation history to understand something about
God as Supreme Being. Then we know about God when God chose to reveal Himself in a specific way to a specific
people. Finally we see an understanding of God in the revelation of Jesus Christ and how He told us God was Abba. This
was unique-- In the original language, He called His Father "Daddy." We too share in that relationship of God as father.
"Jesus tells us who God is," the archbishop says, " and it is up to us to continue to live that faith and to pass it on." Father
Welding reviews how teaching and learning the faith at the seminary is reinforced through the Sacraments, at daily Mass,
and in studying the virtues revealed in the lives of the Saints. "How did our ancestors live out this faith and what did they
write about it and how can we take it from their writings and express it today for ourselves?" Father Welding concluded.

About Jesus Christ." The archbishop’s guest is Father Dan Maurer of Holy Sepulcher Parish, Glade Mills. This program is
the second in a series examining the Creed and its importance to the Catholic faith. During his teaching segment,
Archbishop Wuerl reveals what the Catholic Church instructs its faithful about Jesus. "God the Father is God the Creator
and He brought into being everything that is, including us. And in God’s original plan we were to live in peace and
harmony and love," Archbishop Wuerl explains. "And then we introduced sin. I say ‘we’ because all human beings,
because of the sin of Adam and Eve, and because of our solidarity in human nature we have inherited the effects of that
terrible, terrible sin." But God promised to send us a Messiah "to put it all back together again," the archbishop notes.
"And the Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us… That’s the heart and soul of our Catholic faith,"
Archbishop Wuerl says. Archbishop Wuerl also explores how the Church has tested this belief through councils and has
passed this belief down through the apostolic succession of bishops. During the interview segment, Archbishop Wuerl and
Father Maurer expound on this article of the Creed, faith in Jesus. In discussing our profession of faith in Jesus,
Archbishop Wuerl asks, "What are some aspects of the Gospel that are most appealing in the revelation of Jesus Christ as
the Son of God? Father Maurer remarks, "The miracle scenes showing the power of God at work, in curing people, in
raising them from the dead, come to mind, revealing that Jesus is more than a man, that He is the Son of God. "The others
among my favorites are the key teaching moments, like the Sermon on the Mount, and the crowds were amazed at His
preaching. They never heard before the kind of understanding and insight He revealed in His sermons." "In your role as
priest for the people of Holy Sepulcher parish, how do you help them understand who Christ is," Archbishop Wuerl asks.
Father Maurer says, "After the Gospel readings, I try to show the people that these readings about the love of Christ are
meant for them today—they should get something from the Mass that they can take home and apply to their lives today."

This program from "The Teaching of Christ", featuring Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl, is titled "The Bishops’ Teaching
About The Church." Father Regis Farmer, pastor St. Catherine of Sweden Parish in Wildwood is the archbishop’s guest.
This program is the fifth in a series examining the Apostles’ Creed. During his teaching segment, Archbishop Wuerl looks
at what the Creed teaches about the Church. "The Church is God’s family. The Church is the Body of Christ and was
instituted by Christ to carry on His work," the archbishop says. Establishment of the Church by Christ is chronicled in the
New Testament following Jesus’ Resurrection. Paul often describes the Church as the Body of Christ. "He realizes that
Jesus, the risen Jesus, the glorified Body of Jesus is with His Father… Paul says, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit,
that the Church is the Body of Christ, the new Body of Christ that we see in the world today," Archbishop Wuerl explains.
It is through the Church that the kingdom of God is made manifest in the world. Archbishop Wuerl also expounds on how
the Church can be called holy when it is comprised of fallible human beings. "We can say that because the Church is the
enduring presence of God… in its fullness, in its head, the Church as the Body of Christ is holy. The Church in the Spirit
that sanctifies and moves us is holy even though individual members may not live up to that gift of holiness," the
archbishop says. During the interview segment Archbishop Wuerl and Father Farmer discuss why Jesus entrusted His
work to us. The Church is Christ’s presence on earth – the vehicle He chose to make Himself present to us," Father
Farmer says. "As a parish, we have to make Christ’s presence known to the world in which it sits." He goes on to explain
the two-fold nature of the Church, both as a people of God, and as a hierarchical system, interdependent on one another.
The Church receives its guidelines for teaching the faith through the bishops and the Holy Father, he points out. "There are
two dimensions--we have to be faithful to what has been taught and we have to care for one another." The usual format of
the program includes an initial segment featuring the archbishop’s teaching, followed by a discussion with a guest or
guests and a closing prayerful reflection.

About The Holy Spirit." Father Brian Welding, JCD, Director of Spiritual Formation for the diocesan seminary and
Judicial Vicar for the diocese, is the archbishop’s guest this week. During his teaching segment, Bishop Wuerl examines
the Church’s belief in the Holy Spirit as explained in the Nicene and Apostles’ Creed. Before Jesus ascends to Heaven
after His Resurrection, He tells the apostles that they will not be left alone. The Spirit is sent to be with them until His
return at the end of time. "The gift of the Holy Spirit is the power that realizes the energy that gives us the opportunity and
the power to do what needs to be done. And if we take a look in the Acts of the Apostles, we’ll see that power being
poured out on the Church," Archbishop Wuerl explains. That outpouring of the Spirit continues today in many ways. The
initial formal meeting between the Church faithful and the Spirit occurs at Baptism, the archbishop says. We are anointed
with the Spirit again through the Sacrament of Confirmation. "And then every time we receive the Eucharist we receive
the Body and Blood of Christ, the pouring out of the Spirit enables us to receive and be present to the very person of
Christ," Archbishop Wuerl notes. Archbishop Wuerl and Father Welding explore how the Church views the Holy Spirit
during the interview segment of "The Teaching of Christ." "We have to look at the role of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He
told us that God would send the Spirit to be with us after He returned to His Father," Father Welding says. "We need the
Holy Spirit to make known and understand His teachings. The Holy Spirit enlivens us to understand the revelations of
Jesus. The Spirit is actively helping the Church to remember Jesus and what He reveals to us about His Father. From the
time of Pentecost when the apostles were touched by its power, the Holy Spirit has been alive in us, helping us live out our
faith," Father Welding concluded. Archbishop Wuerl notes that the Holy Spirit is sometimes the ‘forgotten’ person of the
Holy Trinity, but goes on to emphasize that "the Holy Spirit is the soul of the Church. The realities are that the Church is
the enduring presence of Christ in the world. The Church is His new body. The spirit animates that body, and is alive in
us," the archbishop says. The usual format of the program includes an initial segment featuring the archbishop’s teaching,

About The Paschal Mystery." The archbishop’s guest is Father Dan Maurer of Holy Sepulcher Parish, Glade Mills. In his
teaching segment, Archbishop Wuerl explains that the Paschal Mystery is revealed in the Creed through the lines
recounting how Jesus Christ suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, buried, descended into hell and on the third
day rose again. "The reason there is a Creed in the Church is so that all of us have a benchmark against which to test our
own faith. One element of that Creed is the recognition that there was a purpose for Jesus’ life… The reason is called the
Paschal Mystery, the death and Resurrection of Christ. It is called Paschal because it brings us the parallel with the Great
Passover, the offering of the Lamb and the shedding of the blood for the redemption, salvation and justification of all. That
Passover Meal commemorated that action of God bringing people out of bondage into freedom," Archbishop Wuerl says.
Jesus freely laid down his life to fulfill the Father’s will, "and that will was that all that we are involved in, all the sin, all
the failure, all the fall from grace that each one of us is involved in would be wiped away in the cross, the blood of Jesus
Christ," the archbishop explains. But the will of God could not be completely fulfilled if Jesus did not rise from the dead
on the third day. The Resurrection of Jesus offers the gift of eternal life for every person. During the interview segment,
Archbishop Wuerl and Father Maurer explore the Paschal Mystery. "When we speak of a mystery in the Church, we are
referring to something not explainable by human reason, and to grasp it requires our faith," Father Maurer says. "The
Paschal Mystery is specifically about the life, death and the Resurrection of Jesus," he adds. "How do we share in that
mystery?" the archbishop asks. "We share in it through taking up our own crosses in life, and particularly when we share in
the sacraments of the Church, " Father Maurer says. " Through the Eucharist, we present to the Father Christ’s sacrifice,
His body and blood. The Paschal Mystery occurs again, just as it did 2000 years ago." The usual format of the program

This program, featuring Bishop Donald W. Wuerl of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, is entitled, "The Books of the Old and
New Testaments". The bishop’s guest is Rev. George E. Saladna, who taught Sacred Scripture at St. Paul Seminary and
now is pastor of St. Alphonsus Parish, Springdale. The bishop and Father Saladna explore the question of God’s Word
and how it is alive and active in the Church. "The first time I read the Gospel in its entirety, I couldn’t put it down. I kept
reading and rereading, and reached a personal conviction that Jesus is not just a historical figure. He lived, but still lives.
He is our Lord, He loves me and came to save me," Father Saladna said. "As you note, the Scriptures are not only
inspired, but inspiring," the bishop adds. "They touch us and change us." In his teaching, the bishop reviews the Old and
New Testaments. He discusses the Old Testament story of the formation and liberation of God’s people, the giving of the
Law, followed by the historical books, the Wisdom literature, and the prophets. The New Testament, developed over a
much shorter period, has as its core the four Gospels, followed by the history of the early Church in the Acts of the
Apostles, then the great collection of Paul’s letters, letters of other apostles, and finally closing with the Book of
Revelation. "Paul’s whole body of writing is a wonderful gift to the Church and oftentimes the second reading at Mass is
taken from one of the Letters of Paul," Bishop Wuerl says. "All these works, Old Testament and New, collected, verified
by the Church, form the Bible. We’re challenged to read that Bible, pray over it and draw inspiration from it," the bishop
concludes. The usual format of the program includes an initial s
