“This & That” (Fr. S. Katziner)

“Imperfect, Beautiful Church” By Mary Wisniewski

Last week was tough. There was distressing news, including an earthquake in Indonesia and bitter partisan divides over the Supreme Court. I felt sad and angry, and I did not know what to do. So on Sunday, I did something I always do, which always helps. I went to Mass. I have many, many problems with the Catholic Church. Many of its leaders failed miserably at protecting children. After growing up Catholic, and taking it so seriously I considered becoming a nun, I left the church at 15. But I still had a longing for something beyond the material world. I finally came back to my birth church when I was 30. For all the sins committed by the institution, the practice of Catholicism can offer a path to the transcendent, to what is beyond ourselves. It is a tough journey, the search for God, and it helps not to be alone. I go to Mass every week — sometimes more than once — and participate in the ancient ritual. I cantor or lector, and sing in the choir. And it helps because the church gives me something I need. Every week it invites me into a conversation about the power of love and the search for peace, and the necessity of going beyond our individual needs and looking at the needs of others. It is a call to community and sharing, in a world that tries to fo-cus our attention on selfishness and possessions and tribalism. I love the mundane things about the church too. We had a blood drive and doughnut and coffee social last Sunday, with a raffle, because so many church events come with a raffle. We'll have a big ethnic festival in a few weeks when we'll celebrate the 90th anniversary of our building, and people will bring food from the Philippines, Mexico, Poland, Germany and Ireland. I got to look at babies, bouncing to the music. I got to sing with my daughter. These things, too, are church. It is these things — the reach for transcendence and the power of community — that all faiths offer. I find them in Catholicism because it's the faith I know. We are all reaching for something beyond ourselves, and we hope to be made better by the effort — even if our reach must always exceed our grasp. As another lapsed-then-unlapsed Catholic, Oscar Wilde, said, "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." I recognize the violence that has been committed in the name of religion. But religious institutions are made by humans, and humans are flawed. Blaming a faith itself for the sins committed in its name is like blaming a hammer for bashing someone in the head. It is the misuse of a tool that can also be used for good. People have asked me how I can stay in the church with all its problems. I stay for the same reason I stay in the United States, whose leaders also have been guilty of crimes throughout the decades. It is beautiful, and it belongs to me. It is my home. Unless I'm actually driven out, bell, book and candle, I'll stay, and serve, and work for peace.
