What does that mean? In the Old Testament, everyone who died, good or bad, ended up in Sheol. Sheol was portrayed as a shadowy place where the dead dwelt in a miserable existence, deprived of God. In the New Testament, this place was referred to as Hades or Gehenna. Hades is the Greek word for “the land of the dead.” Gehenna is a word with Hebrew origins that re- ferred to the valley of Hinnom. This valley was a narrow gorge, south of Jerusalem, used for a gar- bage dump. This image was used by Jesus for the place of punishment for the wicked aſter death (Mahew 5:22; 18:8). When the Apostles’ Creed states “he descended into hell,” it means Jesus really suffered the effects of death—and did, indeed, die—and that everyone must suffer. Jesus died and went to Hades, where all the dead had to go. The Church has tradionally taught that Jesus also had a mission to perform when he went to Hades. Because everyone, wheth- er evil or righteous, ended up in Hades, Jesus came to free the just ones who had gone before him. This is the so called “harrowing of hell,” which was a popular devoon in medieval mes. Jesus went to hell and released those holy souls stranded there. Some Eastern Church iconography portrays Jesus rising from the tomb and bringing those people out of the underworld and up to heaven with him.

Dear Padre

June 2, 2019 I’m confused by the phrase in the Apostles’ Creed that says Jesus “descended into hell” before he rose on Easter. What does that mean? In the Old Testament, everyone who died, good or bad, ended up in Sheol. Sheol was portrayed as a shadowy place where the dead dwelt in a miserable existence, deprived of God. In the New Testament, this place was referred to as Hades or Gehenna. Hades is the Greek word for “the land of the dead.” Gehenna is a word with Hebrew origins that re-ferred to the valley of Hinnom. This valley was a narrow gorge, south of Jerusalem, used for a gar-bage dump. This image was used by Jesus for the place of punishment for the wicked after death (Matthew 5:22; 18:8). When the Apostles’ Creed states “he descended into hell,” it means Jesus really suffered the effects of death—and did, indeed, die—and that everyone must suffer. Jesus died and went to Hades, where all the dead had to go. The Church has traditionally taught that Jesus also had a mission to perform when he went to Hades. Because everyone, wheth-er evil or righteous, ended up in Hades, Jesus came to free the just ones who had gone before him. This is the so called “harrowing of hell,” which was a popular devotion in medieval times. Jesus went to hell and released those holy souls stranded there. Some Eastern Church iconography portrays Jesus rising from the tomb and bringing those people out of the underworld and up to heaven with him.

SOLEMNIDAD DE LA ASCENSION DEL SENOR 2 DE JUNIO DEL 2019

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, A matter of great urgency related to our ability as Catholics to freely provide and receive the Sacrament of Confession in California has arisen in the form of a proposed law, Senate Bill 360. The “Seal of Confession” – so important for the penitent to feel that they can freely confess their sins and find Reconciliation with God – would be broken by SB 360. This proposed government intrusion into such a central Catholic practice is an affront to our faith and it should be viewed by all as a threat to religious liberty. Our Church is fully sup-portive of legal initiatives to prevent child abuse and we have devoted an entire ministry in our Diocese to training, protective measures and reporting on this issue. It is important that we as Catholics make our voices heard to those lawmakers who will decide whether this bill becomes law. I encourage you to contact by phone or email the State Senator in the District in which you live immediately. Tell them to vote ‘No’ on SB 360. You may also make your voice heard through the Action Alert process of the Catholic Legislative Network at www.cacatholic.org Thank you for your attention to this matter and may God continue to bless you and your families. In Christ, Most Reverend Gerald R. Barnes Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo, Un asunto de gran urgencia relacionado a nuestra habilidad como católicos de proveer y recibir libremente el Sacramento de la confesión en California ha surgido en forma de una propuesta de ley, el proyecto de ley del senado 360. El “secreto de la confesión” – tan importante para que el penitente sienta que puede confe-sar sus pecados libremente y encuentre la reconciliación con Dios – se rompería a causa de la SB 360. Esta propuesta intrusión gubernamental en semejante practica católica central afronta nuestra fe y debería verse por todos como una amenaza a nuestra libertad religiosa. Nuestra Iglesia apoya completamente las iniciati-vas legales que previenen el abuso de menores, y hemos dedicado un ministerio entero en nuestra diócesis para capacitar, medidas de protección e informes sobre este tema. Es importante que como católicos hagamos que nuestras voces sean escuchadas por los legisladores que de-cidirán si esta propuesta se convierte en ley. Les exhorto a que se comuniquen inmediatamente por teléfono o por correo electrónico con los senadores estatales en el distrito en donde ustedes viven. Díganles que vo-ten “NO” a la SB 360. Pueden hacer que sus voces también se escuchen por medio del proceso de Alerta de Acción de la Red Legislativa Católica en el sitio de internet www.cacatholic.org Gracias por su atención en este asunto y que Dios continúe bendiciéndoles a ustedes y a sus familias. En Cristo, Monseñor Reverendísimo Gerald R. Barnes
