Cause and Effect
If you’ve been reading 7 Keys to Spiritual Wellness by Joe
Paprocki and participating in the “Challenge of the Month” for One
Book One Parish, you will note that during the month of March, we’ve
been focusing on the motto “Think before you act.”
I find myself struggling to do that these days, especially as I
watch the news and try to figure what is going on with the political
process. Ironically, what is before me on the television is nothing
more than a contagion of irrationality which is both cause and effect
of my response to it – anger.
Undeliberated anger breeds more undeliberated anger. In the book that Joe Paprocki wrote, he makes a
reference to the 1974 movie The Network in which Howard Beale shouts into the television camera “I’m mad
as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.” Howard invites others into his rage-inducing hysteria until the
entire nation is shouting out the window. Don’t think, don’t reflect, just be enraged and act.
On Palm Sunday, I feel like Howard Beale’s famous outburst serves as entrée into understanding how
the problems Jesus faced are problems still with us today. Within one hour of Mass on Sunday morning, we will
recapitulate the extreme elation of the crowd as Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem and also the rejection of
Jesus just days later by the very same people during his condemnation and death.
And they acted this way because… they were mad as hell and they weren’t going to take it anymore! They
were mad at the Roman occupation of Israel and they were mad at the corruption of their religious leaders
and so they rejoiced at the arrival of Jesus without really listening to what he was saying. When Jesus didn’t
rule with the flashy heroism of a warrior-king, they were mad as hell. So again, without really listening to what
he was saying, they mocked him and spat on him as he journeyed to the cross. In short, the movement from
triumph to crucifixion was caused by undeliberated anger and the effect was more undeliberated anger.
As 7 Keys to Spiritual Wellness points out, and to be sure, anger is not an inherently bad thing. At times,
we are truly frustrated and pretending that we aren’t leads to greater frustration. Additionally, righteous anger
is a virtue. Anger at injustice has been the fuel for many social movements that have changed the world for
the better. But when unrighteous anger is given permission to rule our life and we don’t stop to put the heart
in conversation with the head, then our lives spiral out of control. We
become like the crowd that both welcomed and turned on Jesus in
less than a week’s time. We become participants in an endless cycle
that enslaves us as a the meaningless envoy of anger following anger
following anger.
Something has to put the resulting chaos to a stop. Something did.
Jesus stopped the spiraling mess. Yes, in his Death, but also in his
Resurrection.
And our recalling of his journey during this Holy Week is important
because in some mysterious way, it allows for his presence and his
actions to transcend time and space and enter into our chaos here and
now. This allows for a new cause to take hold - Peace - and we await the
effect of its triumph over all anger - Peace.

Help the Vulnerable: Urge Elected Leaders to Pass a State Budget
Every 30 seconds someone counts on Catholic Charities for help. We are now asking for your
help. Please lend your voice to advocate for the State of Illinois to end its budget stalemate and
pass a budget that cares for the poor and most vulnerable in our communities. Catholic Charities
is currently owed more than $25 million by the State of Illinois – a number that grows by at least
$2 million per month.
Please take time today to call your state elected officials with this simple message, “I am a
voter in your district. I am contacting you on behalf of the poor and vulnerable people who
depend on our state’s safety net of human services, especially the more than 1 million people
served by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago.” If you do not know who your state
representative and senator are, please call the State Board of Elections at (217) 782-4141 or visit
www.elections.il.gov and click on “New District/ Official Search.” You can find more information
and a template advocacy letter at www.CatholicCharities.net on the homepage.
