statement by Bishop Jaime Soto
Senate Bill 1338 — legislation to expand first trimester abortions — PULLED BY AUTHOR
After failing to secure a tie-breaking vote, San Diego state Sen. Christine Kehoe on May 4 pulled her controversial measure to expand the number of providers who can perform first-trimester abortions.
"I am grateful to the members of the Catholic Legislative Network as well other groups who made their voice heard at the Capitol. Blocking this measure keeps Planned Parenthood and other abortion institutions from profiting off the plight of women. Bishop Jaime Soto
In a statement issued May 1, Bishop Jaime Soto, vice president of the California Catholic Conference, had urged calls to state Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg to urge him to stop SB 1338. The bishop said SB 1338 is bad medicine, bad social policy and bad for women. The bill would have allowed nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants and certified nurse midwives to perform first trimester aspiration abortions without the direct supervision of a licensed abortionist. The bishop said common sense prevailed when on April 26, SB 1338 failed to pass the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee on a 4-4 vote.
Bishop Soto noted: "While other valuable public medical services for women and families are being eliminated or cut back, vigorous efforts are pushing SB 1338 as an absurd alternative to good, sound health care for women and their families.
"The many positive endeavors of Catholics and others to call the Senate members of the committee were significant in obtaining the votes necessary to block this measure in the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee.
"I am grateful to the members of the Catholic Legislative Network as well other groups who made their voice heard at the Capitol. Blocking this measure keeps Planned Parenthood and other abortion institutions from profiting off the plight of women.
"We all want to see an end to abortion because it is bad medicine. Until then, we should support efforts to restrict its use and promote efforts to give real health options to women and their families...Women deserve better. Health care should give life and hope to women and their families."

U.S. bishops promoting political responsibility with online resources for Catholics
Blog posts, YouTube videos, an online quiz and resources on Facebook are among the ways U.S. Catholics can learn about the Church’s teaching on issues and involvement in the political process, as part of an initiative of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
These resources promote the document, "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship," the call to political responsibility issued by the U.S. bishops in 2007 and reissued last fall.
Resources include:
-- An issues quiz, which will help Catholics form their consciences through statistics and facts related to key moral issues including abortion, poverty, embryonic stem cell research and immigration. One quiz question will be posted every Tuesday and Thursday at www.facebook.com/usccb.
-- Video reflections by bishops, including Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles, Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami and Archbishop-designate William Lori of Baltimore, discussing different issues of importance for Catholic voters: www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/faithful-citizenship/videos-for-faithful-citizenship.cfm.
-- A “Catholics Care. Catholics Vote.” blog series, which explores different aspects of the bishops’ document, including its assertion that political involvement is a moral duty for Catholics, the questions of conscience formation and a range of issues highlighted by the bishops ahead of the 2012 Elections: http://usccbmedia.blogspot.com/2012/04/catholics-care-catholic-vote-series.html.
-- A tab on USCCB’s page on Facebook called “Catholics Care. Catholics Vote.” This web portal aggregates all of these resources at www.facebook.com/usccb/app_189116767802011.

Bishop soto provides message in special report in Catholic herald
U.S. bishops issue call to action to defend religious liberty, resist unjust laws
American Catholics must resist unjust laws "as a duty of citizenship and an obligation of faith," a committee of the U.S. bishops said in a statement on religious liberty released April 12.
Titled "Our First, Most Cherished Liberty," the 12-page statement by the Ad Hoc Committee on Religious Liberty also calls for "a fortnight for freedom" from June 21, the vigil of the feasts of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More, to July 4, U.S. Independence Day.
"This special period of prayer, study, catechesis and public action would emphasize both our Christian and American heritage of liberty," the committee said. "Dioceses and parishes around the country could choose a date in that period for special events that would constitute a great national campaign of teaching and witness for religious liberty."
The document was approved by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Administrative Committee during its March meeting for publication as a committee statement. Bishop Jaime Soto is a member of the Administrative Committee. It was published in English and Spanish April 12. The full text can be found at the link below.
The document lists several major concerns that prompt the bishops to act now. Other topics include the history and deep resonance of Catholic and American visions of religious freedom, the recent tactic of reducing freedom of religion to freedom of worship, the distinction between conscientious objection to a just law, and civil disobedience of an unjust law, the primacy of religious freedom among civil liberties, the need for active vigilance in protecting that freedom, and concern for religious liberty among interfaith and ecumenical groups and across partisan lines.
The April issue of Catholic Herald Magazine includes a three-page special report on religious freedom, including a message from Bishop Soto. He notes: "The notion that our faith can no longer define our works is a threat to the grace we bring in the name of Christ. It will inhibit our ability to be 'doers of the Word." (James 1:22). To read the special report, visit the link below. The bishop urges the Catholic faithful to join the Catholic Legislative Network at www.cacatholic.org and communicate with the White House and congressional representatives to urge a clear definition of religious employer.

youth ministry summer camp
Camp Pendola offers summer sessions beginning in June
Camp Pendola, the official youth ministry summer camp of the Diocese of Sacramento, is now accepting registration for the 2012 summer season.
This year, the traditional summer camp program will be celebrating 53 years of serving children and youth ages six to 17. Participants enjoy a week living in a simple cabin where Catholic values come alive in a positive, natural and fun-filled way.
Located in the Sierra Nevada foothills in the Tahoe National Forest 15 miles north of Nevada City, Camp Pendola is on 40 acres of natural, rustic surroundings. More than 20,000 campers over five decades have created a tradition that for many families continues every year and even passes from one generation to the next, according to Lori Rosene, director of Pendola Center.
Most camp sessions, the first of which begins June 24, are one week in length. During their time at camp, youths can hike, swim, make arts and crafts and play in the outdoors. Every cabin goes on a one-night “under the stars” overnight where campers cook out and spend the night.
Older youths have a variety of specialty options, ranging from a three-day, two-night canoe trip for seventh graders. Rosene notes that Pendola Center also offers two programs for high school youths that focus on leadership development: one for youths entering their freshman and sophomore years and a three-week counselor-in-training program for those students entering their junior and senior year.
For more information and registration materials or to register online, visit the link to the Camp Pendola website below or call Lori Rosene at (916) 733-0141 or e-mail to Lrosene@diocese-sacramento.org. Some scholarships are available and Camp Pendola offers multi-child or multi-week discounts.

report on causes and context of clergy sexual abuse of minors addresses several misperceptions about abuse, reports no single cause or predictor
According to a long-awaited report on the causes and context of sexual abuse by priests in the United States released May 2011, because potential sexual abusers of minors cannot be pinpointed through “identifiable psychological characteristics,” it is “very important” to prevent abuse by limiting the “situational factors” associated with it. The report said there is “no single identifiable ‘cause’ of sexually abusive behavior toward minors.” It encouraged steps to deny abusers “the opportunity to abuse.” The report is titled “The Causes and Context of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests in the United States, 1950-2010.” It reports the findings of a study mandated in 2002 under the U.S. Catholic bishops’ “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.”
