“The Saints did not all begin well, but they all ended well.”
—St. John Vianney
Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
W hile the crowd was pressing in on Jesus
and listening to the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret. He saw two boats there
alongside the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore.
Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” Simon said in reply, “Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.” When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them. They came and filled both boats so that the boats were in danger of sinking. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.” For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him, and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him.

deacon’s corner Conversations at Table
Who Are You Going To Call? Church or State
Deacon Chuck Lanham
B enedict (Baruch) Spinoza was a seventeenth century Dutch philosopher of Sephardic Jewish descent who developed highly controversial ideas regarding the authenticity of the Hebrew Bible and the nature of the Divine. Jewish authorities issued a cherem1 against him, excluding him from Jewish society and the Catholic Church placed
his books on the Index of Forbidden Books. Despite, or perhaps because of the concerted Judeo-Christian objections to his ideas, he achieved significant renown2 and long-lasting influence on the rapid growth and dominance of secular societies.
Spinoza espoused and formalized a theology and philosophy on pantheism, the belief that nature, as the totality of everything, was identical with the divine; that the totality of all matter in whatever form is an all-encompassing, immanent god.
“Spinoza collapsed creator and creature, destroying the essential distinction introduced at the very beginning of the Bible. Pantheism makes a god of this world and thus completely undermines the entire Judeo-Christian understanding of reality that flows from the creator-creature distinction in Genesis. Removing that creator-creature distinction allows for a reintroduction of pagan animism and idolatry, the worship of the divine in creatures. Spinoza’s ‘monism’ was a radical rejection of the First Commandment” thus “, … history becomes God, and human beings worship their own actions and efforts as divine. And since the political state is the most powerful expression of collective human action, the state itself becomes the greatest manifestation of the divine.”3
Since God and the world and all matter are the same, it must be obvious that the supernatural is a mere fairy tale for the uneducated masses (Spinoza called them the ‘vulgar masses’) and therefore there could be no heavenly kingdom either. The practical results of Spinoza’s Pantheistic vision have been a transfer of religious devotion to a sacralized state, now made divine. With the creator collapsed into the creature, the logical next step is for the church to be collapsed into the state, the most direct example being Henry VIII declaring himself the sovereign head of the Church of England, the state of which he was then civil sovereign.
Spinoza’s vision took the form of a pyramid, where those who ruled were Spinozan monists who have the right to rule because they are the only ones who are rational (to be rational is to deny immaterial reality.) Below the philosophic elite are the scientific elite who support the philosophic elite with their materialistic understanding. And at the bottom of the pyramid are the vulgar masses who blindly bow to the scientific elite or “experts” who define reality as entirely material.
“The Christian distinctions between immaterial and material reality, soul and body, next world and this world, city of God and city of man, and church and state are all ridiculed out of existence. The church that stands over and against the state, teaching all the wrong things, must be firmly subordinated to the state—and hence to the rule of the philosophic elite.”4
We are witnesses to Spinoza’s world-vision today. More next week.
1. Cherem, Hebrew: םרח, a kind of ban, shunning, ostracism, expulsion, or excommunication.
2. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel said of Spinoza, “You are either a Spinozist or not a philosopher at all” and Gilles Deleuze called him “the
prince of philosophers.”

Centering Prayer An Introduction to Contemplative Practice
St. Albert’s Centering Prayer group, led by JoAnn and Chuck Baird, is on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 pm in the chapel.
On Centering Prayer
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CC), § 2653, says:
The Church ‘forcefully and specially exhorts all the Christian faithful…to learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ’ (Phil 3:8) by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures…Let them remember, however, that prayer should accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture, so that a dialogue takes place between God and man. For ‘we speak to him when we pray; we listen to him when we read the divine oracles.’
Centering Prayer is a spiritual custom based upon the Word of God, Lectio Divina. We strive to increase the time we spend alone with God to 15-20 minutes twice a day. The purpose of our gathering is to encourage one another each month in this sacred, individual practice, in the words of CC, § 2560, in “the encounter of God’s thirst with ours.”
All members of the Centering Prayer group invite you to join them in the joy of this spiritual discipline.
Grief Support Ministry Crossroads
Saint Albert the Great offers two monthly grief
counseling sessions, the second and fourth Sun-
days of the month from 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm in
the Parish Office Building, Gathering Room,
