Carmel Forum 2001 By CINDY PASLAWSKI Reminding listeners that each is "called to be a saint," Msgr. Philip Reilly, director of the international pro-life group, Helpers of God’s Precious Infants, was unequivocal in stating, "You have to take a stand and the stand has to be with Christ at the foot of the Cross." Speaking on the "Prayerful Presence in the Culture of Death: Today’s Golgotha," Msgr. Reilly was the initial speaker at the Carmel Regional Wanderer Forum, held January 13 in California. The Carmel Forum had as its theme, "Your Catholic Conscience: Use it or Lose it." Fr. Reilly described his apostolate of prayerful presence at abortion mills and said, "We must go for the same purpose as Christ," we must go out of love for the person "doing evil…we must want for them eternal life." In her talk, "We Must Resist," UN lobbyist Mary Jo Anderson warned that the "freedom to exercise our conscience is being snatched away" by UN actions which are ultimately in opposition to the Catholic Church. "The culture allows them to get away with it," she said. "Catholics have been silent too long. We’ve dropped the ball….We’ve allowed our culture to become what it is today and it will turn and persecute us." St. Thomas More "died for Christian truth," Bernard Dobranski of Ave Maria School of Law told his audience, "in proof of the idea that man cannot be sundered from God." Using More’s life as an example, Dobranski said "There is a moral relativeness today," just as there was in Henry VIII’s time. And God still "calls us to respond in conscience and truth,…the only proper reference is to the voice of God and His Commandments." With Martin Luther’s reformation in 1517 came the "revolution against the order Christ established in the soul which also led to order in society," according to Dr. Thomas Droleskey who spoke on "Catholic Without Compromise." With Luther came individualism: "If nobody is the Pope, everyone is the Pope," he said. Citing Bl. Junipero Serra, who founded the Carmel Mission where the Forum participants attended Mass, Droleskey called on everyone to become apostles "faithful to the charge given by Our Lord to preach in season and out, to bring all nations" to Him, thereby restoring a Christian society.
