continue at San Fran ChroniclesDUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dubuque will pay $5.2 million to 26 people who have claimed clergy sex abuse, according to a settlement announced Wednesday.
Archbishop Michael Jackels and Archbishop Emeritus Jerome Hanus apologized in a statement to the victims and their families, and expressed hope that the settlement will be supportive of them.
"They assure all the victims of their prayers for them and their families," said a statement from Sister Carol Hoverman, the communications director for the archdiocese.
The statement said priests who abused are a "disgrace to the vocation and a scandal to the faithful."
"The vast majority of priests are good and holy servants of God and God's people," said the statement.
The cases involve 10 priests and alleged abuse between the 1940s and 1970s, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported (http://bit.ly/14DBlF9 ). None of the accused clergy work as priests today, and most are dead.

Iowa Catholic Bishops: "Health care is a natural human right"
continue at Des Moines RegisterBy
Most Rev. Jerome Hanus,
Most Rev. R. Walker Nickless,
Most Rev. Martin Amos, and
Most Rev. Richard Pates
We, the Catholic bishops of Iowa, are grateful that the governor and the Iowa Legislature are debating how to make health care coverage more readily available to low-income Iowans.
The Catholic Church has millennia of experience as providers of health care for all, especially the poor. Among the causes that contribute to poverty are “inadequate measures for guaranteeing basic health care” (Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, 447). It is in this spirit that we reiterate our Catholic tradition that teaches that health care is a natural human right, essential to protecting human life and dignity.
We believe there are several criteria that should be considered when evaluating a health care proposal. It should 1) ensure access to quality, readily accessible, affordable, life-giving health care for all; 2) retain long-standing requirements that federal funds not be used for elective abortions or plans that include them, and effectively protect conscience rights; and 3) protect the access to health care that immigrants currently have and remove current barriers to access.
Ultimately it is the role of our civil leaders to decide what is most practical in achieving the common good. Currently, the Medicaid public health insurance program is limited to very low-income adults who have dependents or a disability. One of the decisions facing the Legislature is whether to extend Medicaid with the assistance of additional federal dollars.
The proposed “Medicaid expansion” passed by the Iowa Senate would:
• Extend coverage to almost all people who earn less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level — projected to include 150,000 persons in Iowa.
• Allow persons whose income is from 138 percent to 400 percent of the federal poverty level to purchase private plans with the assistance of tax credits through a “health insurance exchange.”
• Declare that a person who qualifies for the program by reason of income is entitled to care.
• Declare there are no monthly premiums.
Hmm, well, I'm all for everyone having access to healthcare, and at the state level is the right level to run these programs, but I'd have to say I don't think someone that disagrees with "Extend[ing] coverage to almost all people who earn less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level" is wrong either. Or that "“inadequate measures for guaranteeing basic health care” = "there are no monthly premiums"... One could say there are no monthly premiums for "basic" health care.... but contraception is probably considered "basic" health care.
Apb. Emer. Hanus slated to testify in two abuse lawsuits
Dubuque Archbishop Emeritus Jerome Hanus is scheduled to testify in two sexual-abuse lawsuits brought against the Benedictine abbey where he plans to retire.details at TH(pay)
A Catholic archbishop in Iowa who retired Monday will be deposed in upcoming weeks in two lawsuits brought against the Benedictine abbey in Missouri where he was abbot for 10 years.continue at NCReporter
Two men who say a Benedictine priest sexually abused them as minors in the 1980s filed the lawsuits against Conception Abbey in northwest Missouri. Jerome Hanus, the retiring archbishop of Dubuque, Iowa, was abbot there at the time.
The lawsuits, filed in Missouri circuit court in the summer of 2011, say that before the priest, Bede Parry, allegedly abused the two minors, he had previously reported to Hanus other "inappropriate sexual relationships" with minors.
Upon receiving notice of the previous relationships, the lawsuits say, Hanus allowed Parry to remain as a youth choir director while receiving psychological treatment.
According to court records, Hanus is set to be deposed for one of the lawsuits April 25. Testimony in the other lawsuit had been set but had to be rescheduled, a lawyer for one of the men who filed the lawsuit said in an email.
The communications director for the Dubuque archdiocese said Hanus retired for health reasons and not because of the pending depositions.
"I await the opportunity to be deposed," Hanus wrote in an emailed statement to NCR Thursday. "I look forward to it."
"Although I am a Bishop of the Church, I am also a Benedictine Monk," Hanus continued. "I began my priestly life at Conception Abbey. In my twenty-five years as a Bishop, it has always been my intention to return to Conception Abbey when I retired."

+Jackels will be installed as Dubuque archbishop on May 30
continue at Waterloo CourierOnly hours after a formal announcement from the Vatican, Dubuque Archbishop Jerome Hanus helped introduce his successor to the public.
The former Bishop of Wichita, Kan., Michael O. Jackels, was appointed by Pope Francis as the 12th head of the Dubuque Catholic Archdiocese, which includes 30 counties in Northeast Iowa. The papal nuncio, or official Vatican representative to the United Sates, announced the changes Monday in Washington, D.C.
Hanus, 72, tendered his resignation last year to former Pope Benedict XVI, citing declining health especially since a serious traffic accident a year ago. Jackels’ appointment is one of the first batch of assignments the new pope made.
Both men and former Archbishop Daniel Kucera, who was in attendance in his wheelchair, were applauded by staff.
“They love you already,” Kucera quipped, as an enthusiastic audience in the archdiocesan pastoral center clapped loudly. Jackels, 58, served as the 10th bishop of Wichita for eight years. Before that, he worked in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome under then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger who became Pope Benedict.
Jackels often cited his episcopal motto during his comments Monday.
“Ecce adsum. Here I am, Michael Jackels, introducing myself to the people God has called me to serve,” he said, arms out as he offered himself in service. “I beg your prayers and patience,” as he learns about the “personality” of the Dubuque Archdiocese and its 200,000 Catholics.

From WCFCourier
In a statement released this morning, Hanus, 72, said, "As many of you know, my health has declined in recent years. As a result, some time ago I submitted my resignation as Archbishop to the proper authorities. In a recent telephone conversation, the Pope’s representative in the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, informed me that our Holy Father, Pope Francis, had accepted my resignation and appointed as the next Archbishop of Dubuque, the Most Rev. Michael O. Jackels, currently Bishop of Wichita, Kansas. My immediate response to the selection of him as my successor was: 'I am thrilled.'"
Jackels, who turns 59 on April 13, is the current bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wichita, Kan., appointed by Pope John Paul II on Jan. 28, 1995. He is a native of Rapid City, S.D., who moved frequently as a child of a military family from Wyoming to Spain to California before settling in Nebraska.
Prior to joining Kentucky’s St. Pius X Seminary in 1975, Jackels attended the University of Nebraska. He holds a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from St. Pius X and a master’s in theology from Mt. Saint Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Md. He earned his doctorate in sacred theology in 1989 from Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome.

Ex-monk admits sexual misconduct while under Abp. Hamus at Conception Abbey
Read more: http://www.kansascity.com/2011/11/08/3255149/ex-monk-admits-sexual-misconduct.html#ixzz1dmsmE4ExA former Benedictine monk who directed a boys choir at a northwest Missouri abbey in the 1980s admitted on Thursday that he had inappropriate sexual relations with several members of the group.
Bede Parry, who led the Abbey Boy Choir of Conception Abbey from 1982 to 1987, told The Kansas City Star that he had sexual contact with five or six of the choir members as well as a student at a Minnesota university.
One of the former choir members filed a lawsuit on Thursday, contending that Parry molested him in 1987 during a summer camp at the abbey.
The lawsuit, filed against Conception Abbey by a Missouri man under the name John Doe 181, alleges that the abbey knew that Parry had sexually abused other students prior to abusing him but covered it up.
"Frankly, those allegations, most of them are true," Parry said in a phone interview with The Star from Las Vegas. "As far as I’m concerned, great harm was done to those people. To lie and not recognize that would be a gross injustice to those folks.
"The whole thing is terrible. I feel so terrible. I’m just praying for everybody, and I ask for prayers."
Most of the inappropriate sexual contact was with males over 18, Parry said. Two of the encounters, he said, involved males ages 16 to 18. He said he has not had inappropriate sexual relations since the 1987 incident.
Jeff Anderson, a Minnesota lawyer who represents the plaintiff, called the situation "a grave institutional failure."
"Bede Parry wasn’t able to control himself, but it was the (Conception Abbey) abbot and the top officials who knew that and made the choice to protect themselves at the peril of many kids and young adults," he said.
Conception Abbey is a Benedictine monastery with a 30-acre campus. It is home to one of the largest Roman Catholic college seminaries in the nation and the largest priest-training center in the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph. The seminary, which the monks run, draws students from about two dozen dioceses in the United States.
Between 1973 and 1979, the lawsuit says, Parry told the Conception Abbey abbot that he had inappropriate sexual contact with three people at the abbey. And in 1981, the lawsuit says, Parry had sexual contact with a student at St. John’s in Minnesota. Parry admitted that misconduct to several people, including abbots at Conception and St. John’s, according to the lawsuit.
Parry confirmed to The Star his three relationships between 1973 and 1979 at Conception Abbey and one in 1981 in Minnesota. He said he reported those incidents to then-abbot Jerome Hanus at Conception Abbey and to the abbot at St. John’s Abbey in Minnesota.
Hanus is now head of the Archdiocese of Dubuque, Iowa. His office did not return phone calls for comment on Thursday.
Parry said he first opened up about his sexual misconduct last fall, when a Seattle area man named Pat Marker showed up at his doorstep. Marker, a sex abuse victim who had attended St. John’s Preparatory School in Minnesota, had learned about Parry while researching other cases from St. John’s.
"I confronted Bede with the allegations ... that took place at St. John’s, and he admitted to the misconduct and expressed remorse but did not disclose any information about the (Conception Abbey) boys choir at that time," Marker said. "After learning he directed the choir, I confronted him again. At first he denied anything but later admitted to misconduct."
Archdiocese of Dubuque to celebrate 175 years
 |
| The Cathedral is filled to capacity on the morning of Wednesday September 30, 1891 as the Diocese of Dubuque celebrates the silver jubilee (25th anniversary) of Bishop John Hennessey. Note the gas lamps used to provide illumination inside the building. |
While the actual anniversary is July 28, 2012, the year long observance will provide an opportunity for a year of rejoicing, reflection and renewal. The overall goal is not to add extra work or activities for the parishes but to suggest ways to utilize existing events to connect to the 175th, incorporating the major themes of the history and celebration of the Archdiocese into regular parish celebrations (e.g. Parish Festival, Parish Anniversary, First Communion, Confirmation classes. etc.), in addition to the diocesan events listed below. Throughout the year, a series of “Did You Know?” segments will be provided for use in parish bulletins and other publications to educate and celebrate the history and future of the Archdiocese.details at Arch Dubuque
Abp. Jerome Hanus accused of negligence in abuse case
A second lawsuit was filed last week in Nodaway County Circuit Court alleging that a former monk there, who was also an ordained priest, abused a teenage boy in the early 1980s.Maryville Daily
The alleged victim, identified only as John Doe 48, claims in the suit that he was abused by Fr. Bede Parry, a choir director at the abbey and seminary college east of Maryville, and that the abuse consisted of being coerced into various sex acts between 1982 and 1984. Illegal activity described in the lawsuit included oral sex in addition to fondling and kissing.
Parry, 69, is not named as a defendant in the suit, which claims the abbey sought to cover up the assaults, and that Parry's superior knew about the incidents but failed to take appropriate action by removing the monk from his post.
The abbot in charge of Conception Abbey at the time was Fr. Jerome Hanus, who later served as bishop of Saint Cloud, Minn., and is currently archbishop of Dubuque, Iowa.
Confronted by the alleged victim's parents, Hanus, according to the lawsuit, told them that Parry had suffered a "mental breakdown" for which he would receive treatment. In fact, the suit alleges, Parry confessed to his superior that he had been involved in three previous inappropriate sexual relationships.
The lawsuit states that Parry was ultimately sent to a Catholic treatment center in New Mexico for three months and later worked for several churches in the Southwest before becoming an Episcopal clergyman.

SNAP accuses Abp. Hanus of Dubuque of coverup
The suit states that the plaintiff's parents confronted Hanus, then the abbot in charge of Conception Abbey, about the sexual contact. "Hanus told plaintiff's parents that Fr. Parry had a 'mental breakdown' and that he would be treated for this breakdown." Parry was subsequently sent to a facility in New Mexico for sex offender treatment and did not return to the abbey.
The suit continues, "In fact, Fr. Parry did not have a 'mental breakdown.' Instead, Fr. Parry was a known child predator who had sexually abused numerous students before Fr. Parry sexually abused the plaintiff."
The suit said Parry previously reported to Hanus and other clergy that between 1973 and 1979, while Parry was a monk but prior to his ordination as a priest, "that he had been involved in three inappropriate sexual relationships" and another in 1981 while attending seminary classes in Collegeville, Minn.
At the insistence of Hanus, Parry was "required to receive psychological treatment" as a condition of his completing seminary school, the suit says.
Hanus, Dubuque archbishop since 1995, issued the following statement through Msgr. Thomas Toale, Dubuque archdiocesan vicar general:
"A lawsuit has been filed in Missouri that makes several claims about me while I served as abbot of Conception Abbey," Hanus said. "I await the opportunity to respond to these claims according to the system of justice in our country."
Iowa bishops support statewide ban on late term abortions
 |
| Archbishop Jerome Hanus |
Iowa’s four Catholic bishops are at the statehouse today, urging legislators to pass a bill that would ban nearly all abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy.Radio Iowa
Some key lawmakers are opposing the bill because it doesn’t ban all abortions, and their opposition dooms the bill. Sioux City Bishop R. Walker Nickless says that’s unfortunate.
“The goal is to end abortion, absolutely, but this is one step along the way,” Nickless says. “And I just feel sorry for people who just feel that it’s just got to be all or nothing and then they miss the opportunity to do a little bit. Think of the abortions that are happening because they won’t take that one step, where we could eliminate some of those.”
Davenport Bishop Martin Amos agrees the bill moves state law governing abortions in a positive direction. “Obviously we would like to see it go all the way, you know, from the moment of conception,” Amos says. “But from my vantage point, even if it’s a baby step, it’s a step.”
A Nebraska doctor has said he plans to open a clinic in Council Bluffs where he would perform so-called late term abortions. Richard Pates is the bishop for the Des Moines Diocese, which covers Council Bluffs. “Council Bluffs people have been very strong in saying that they don’t want that,” Pates says.
Dubuque Archbishop Jerome Hanus says he doesn’t explicitly tell legislators how to vote, but the Iowa Catholic Conference is registered as supporting the bill that would ban abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy, unless the mother’s life or health were at risk.
“We don’t want late-term abortions,” Hanus says. “That’s quite clear that this is a human being and it would be tragic not to save these lives.”
The bishops are also urging senators to take up a resolution which passed the House, a resolution that eventually would allow Iowans to vote on a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriages, civil unions and domestic partnerships. Nickless, the bishop in Sioux City, says the institution of marriage must be preserved.
“The Catholic Church, especially, is not in any way discriminating against people who have a same-sex attraction. We’re trying to defend and promote what marriage is and the definition of marriage really can’t be changed. You know, it’s something that preceded any of us and we’ve just got to preserve and protect that because it’s the foundation of society,” Nickless says. “And that’s what’s really trying to occur here is that they’re trying to redefine something that we really shouldn’t be doing at all.”
The archbishop says it’s important to affirm what marriage is and the fact that the proposed statewide vote has stalled again this year is puzzling to him.
“I don’t understand all the intricacies of legislation here,” Hanus says. “The people of the state have a right to express themselves on this.”
There are four Catholic dioceses in Iowa, based in Dubuque, Davenport, Des Moines and Sioux City. According to the Iowa Catholic Conference, there are nearly half a million Catholics in Iowa.
Nickless' star is rising... he seems to be the one pushing the bishops to speak. Remember this man said the Spirit of Vatican II is a demon that must be exorcised!
Iowa school named for Bl. Maria Assunta
WATERLOO - Archbishop Jerome Hanus blessed the ground Saturday where a new Catholic middle school will be located and announced it will be named for a beatified Italian nun.WCFCourier
The school will be named for Maria Assunta Pallotta, the great aunt of Waterloo resident Mary Ellen Molinaro. Bob and Mary Ellen Molinaro are giving more than $1 million to the the Cedar Valley Catholic Schools capital campaign, which development director Mike Knipp said is the "biggest single gift" to date.

Interesting saint. Beatified in 1954 by Pope Pius XII, Blessed Maria Assunta was a missionary to China where she died due to illness. The whole monastery smelled of flowers for three days after her death. Her body was found incorrupt.
Suddenly, those in the room began to notice a delightful fragrance which resembled a mixture of violets and incense. That night Sister Assunta's body remained in the infirmary. The following morning a crowd of Chinese Christians invaded the mission compound, asking to experience the miracle. News of the fragrant odor had spread. For three days the mysterious perfume remained in the house, then it ceased on the day of her burial, April 9, at the hour at which she had died two evenings before. The Chinese Christians began to ask Assunta for favors, and they becameconvinced that she had answered their requests. Eight years after Assunta's death, the Community was transferred from Tong Eul Koo to Tai Yuan Foo, and the bishop wished that the body of Sister Assunta also be transferred. Disinterment revealed that the body was incorrupt. It remained in the chapel of the cemetery for a month without being affected.
St Mary's Church, Dubuque, IA - Statues, chalices, etc. being sold
The denouement of St. Mary's begins today.
Parish representatives from around the Archdiocese of Dubuque and other dioceses in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin have been invited to tour the church today to pick out statues, chalices, banners, crucifixes and other items that can be used in their own churches. [I think we should just start collecting all of this artwork and create a Reform of the Reform Church somewhere. The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.]
"We hope the Mass and liturgical items will find new homes in area parishes," said Monsignor Tom Toale, vicar general for the archdiocese. The items will be sold with the money going to pay off the parish's outstanding debt. Eventually, the public will be able to purchase items from the church.
"I'm speechless. It breaks my heart. I don't even know how to process the idea," that the church's religious components are being removed and parceled out to other churches, said Candice Chaloupka, former member of St. Mary's and co-author of the historical and pictorial book, "St. Mary's: The Finest Church West of the Mississippi." [I'd like to get my hands on that book]
Earlier this year, at the urging of a group working to keep St. Mary's open, the archdiocese contacted the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest to take over St. Mary's and keep it open. The group, which has preserved other historical American churches as Catholic shrines, "was not able or interested to do so at this time," Toale said. [Tragic]

I'm sure by "sold" they mean "in exchange for free will donations" on the items of which have been consecrated to God.

Let's meet the metropolitan archbishop of Iowa
LifeSiteNewsStatement from Archbishop Jerome Hanus in response to comments made by Sister Michelle Nemmers at Democratic Rally in Dubuque, IA
October 31, 2004
The Friday issue of the Dubuque Telegraph Herald included an article describing the thoughts, words and political activities of a Catholic Franciscan Sister from Dubuque. She claims to be presenting a position which is compatible with Catholic teachings.
In fact, Sister Michelle Nemmers is wrong. Her words show that she does not understand the Catholic Church's teaching. She is quoted as saying that it can be acceptable to choose abortion. This is totally contrary to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church.
Abortion is the killing of an innocent human being. "Direct abortion is never a morally tolerable option. It is always a grave act of violence against a woman and her unborn child" (Bishops' Statement 1998). We know and believe this from Scripture. We know it also from human reason.
When Sister Michelle declares that there are times when it is permissible to have an abortion, she is wrong. Even when she says, "It should be the extreme last choice," she is wrong. It is never morally permissible to procure or to support or to cooperate in an abortion.
Sister Michelle seems to want to present herself as a teacher of Catholic thought. As the Catholic archbishop of Dubuque, it is my responsibility to assert that she is not a qualified teacher of Catholic thought. What she has said is erroneous. No Catholic who desires to be in communion with the Catholic Church should accept or follow her words.
Some other Sisters have made claims that their partisan position can be justified by appealing to the Bishops' document, "Faithful Citizenship." Let me affirm that they do not speak for the Church. They are expressing their personal opinion. They have a right to express their opinion. But Catholics should not quickly conclude that personal presentations are the authentic Catholic position.
The Catholic Church does not endorse political parties or particular candidates. But the position of the Church has been clearly stated by the Bishops. "Catholics who are privileged to serve in public leadership positions have an obligation to place their faith at the heart of their public service, particularly on issues regarding the sanctity and dignity of human life... No public official, especially one claiming to be a faithful and serious Catholic, can responsibly advocate for or actively support direct attacks on innocent human life" (Living the Gospel of Life, n. 31)
Tell us what you really think archbishop! :) Well I think this guy sounds pretty solid. Any Iowa readers have thoughts on him?
