STEM CELL RESEARCH
AND HUMAN CLONING
Haven’t doctors, scientist, and commentators said that embryonic stem
cell research will lead to the cure of many diseases?
Some have made this claim, but in fact this is largely
speculation. Embryonic stem cells have never treated a human patient, and animal trials
suggest that they are too genetically unstable and too likely to form lethal tumors to be
used for treatment any time soon. Years ago it was said that stem cells from embryos would
be the most useful because they are so fast growing and versatile, able to make virtually
any kind of cell. But those advantages become disadvantages when these cells make tumors,
creating a condition worse than the disease. Yet many supports remain wedded to this
approach, having invested a great deal of money and effort and hoping they can still make
it work. This kind of exaggerated "promise" has mislead researchers and patient
groups before, most obviously in the case of fetal tissue from abortions, which a decade
ago was said to promise miracle cures and has produced nothing of the kind.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in
Christ,
"What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he
has faith but does not have works? Saint James challenges us with these words in
today’s Second Reading. He tells us that we must demonstrate our faith with our
works.
On this annual Stewardship Awareness Sunday, we are asked to
reflect on the question: How do I demonstrate my faith?
When we look at our parish communities, our schools, our praise
and worship of God, our apostolates and our social outreach, we see a clear demonstration
of faith. I sincerely thank all of you who give so generously to ensure that in every
community throughout the Archdiocese of Saint Louis, God is worshipped and glorified, His
ways are taught, and His compassion is experienced.
However, we cannot become complacent. It is important to remember
that God is a generous and loving Father who entrusts abundant blessings into our hands as
His good stewards. He calls us to give back more in gratitude for all that has been given
to us. Today, I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you in considering three ways in
which you may be able to do more:
Can you spend more time with Our Lord, possible adding more
prayer, worship or spiritual readings to your week?
Can you share more of your special talents, possible becoming
involved in one of the many volunteer works in your parish community?
Can you give more of your financial gifts to support the
building of God’s kingdom, possibly increasing your contribution to the Offertory, to
special funds or with a planned gift?
I ask you to demonstrate your faith by pledging, if at all
possible, to do more for God in the coming year with the gifts of your time, your talent
and your treasure, all of which are His gifts to you.
I pray that your faithfulness and generosity will be rewarded with
the joy and peace that comes to those who follow Our Lord’s call to stewardship.
Asking God’s blessing upon you and your home, I remain
Yours devotedly in Christ,
(Most Rev.) Raymond L. Burke
Archbishop of Saint Louis
