Remarks
by the President Upon Arrival
The South Lawn
[President
Bush stated on that day [sunday-Sept. 16] the Lord's Day is the
Day of Faith]
"Today,
millions of Americans mourned and prayed, and tomorrow we go back to work....
Our nation was horrified, but it's not going to be terrorized. We're a great
nation. We're a
nation of resolve. We're a nation that can't be cowed by evil-doers. I've
got great faith in
the American people. If the American people had seen what I had seen in New York
City,
you'd have great faith, too.....We will rid the world of the evil-doers. We
will call together
freedom loving people to fight terrorism. And on on
this day [sunday] of - on the Lord's Day,
I say to my fellow Americans, thank you for your prayers, thank you for your
compassion, thank
you for your love for one another.....As I said yesterday, people have declared
war on America,
and they have made a terrible mistake, because this is a fabulous country. Our
economy will
come back. We'll still be the best farmers and ranchers in the world. We're
still the most innovative
entrepreneurs in the world. On
this day of faith, I've never had more faith in America than I
have right now..... Mr. President, the
Attorney General is going to ask for enhanced law
enforcement authority to surveil and - things to disrupt terrorism that might be
planned
here in the United States. What
will that mean for the rights of Americans?
What will that mean - THE PRESIDENT: Terry, I ask you to
talk to the Attorney General
about that subject. He'll be prepared to talk about it publicly at
some point in time.
But what he is doing is, he's reflecting what I said earlier in my statement,
that we're facing
a new kind of enemy, somebody so barbaric that they would fly airplanes into
buildings
full of innocent people. And, therefore, we have to be on alert in America. We're
a nation
of law, a nation of civil rights. We're
also a nation under attack. And the
Attorney
General will address that in a way that I think the American people will
understand...."

"....Secondly, I'm off to Genoa,
where the G-7 and the G-8 will meet to discuss how
to
enhance the world's prosperity. It really begins with each
of our own countries making
sure our economic houses are in order....i
There are some who will try to disrupt the meetings, claiming they represent
the poor.
To those folks I say, instead of addressing policies that represent the poor, you
embrace
policies that lock poor people into poverty, and that's unacceptable to the
United States.
Trade has been the best avenue for economic growth for all countries and I
reject the
isolationism and protectionism that dominates those who will try to disrupt the
meetings
in Genoa. And, finally, on
the home front, I'm pleased that the United States Congress
easily passed a faith-based initiative
sponsored by J.C. Watts of Oklahoma and Tony Hall
of Ohio. It's an initiative that puts our federal government
squarely on the side of faith-based
and community based programs, all of which exist to help a
neighbor in need. The debate
has been long and arduous. And now the Congress is beginning to act. It's
a positive
step toward making sure the American Dream extends its reach throughout all our
communities.
It's a step that recognizes that government can't cause people to love one
another, but
what government can do is stand side-by-side with loving individuals who are
intent upon
bringing compassion and hope to neighborhoods where there may not be any. I
congratulate
the House. I urge the United States Senate to act on this measure
quickly, so that the armies
of compassion which exist all across America will be invigorated and
continue their march to
make sure our country is hopeful and optimistic...."

Has
American Individualism Gone Too Far?
"Can Americans
obliterate the need for a truth outside themselves or live as if they do?....
All Americans enjoy the freedom that modern individualism allows, but it is
always
possible to have too much of a good thing.
Like Clinton, many of us are individualism
junkies: We just can´t say no. We know we should accept limits, but when it
comes
down to it, we refuse to impose them on ourselves. This seems to be the great
American
dilemma at the end of the 20th century....Of
greater long-term significance, however,
is Bush's new White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives...it
is an
attempt to welcome faith back into the public realm and to renew American
commitment
to building
authentic communities and resisting the enormous power of radical
individualism over American life. The
great American experiment in individualism
will come to its end in the course of this century....
Supremacy of the
Individual
In the world at large, America has come to stand for the supremacy, or at the
very
least the self-sufficiency, of the individual. This was the case from the
beginning,
despite the pilgrim fathers´ religiosity and the recognition of the Creator in
the
opening words of the Declaration of Independence. The
United States was made
by the Reformation. From the 17th century, America came to be regarded as
a
Protestant Israel, the promised land for the elect and the righteous remnants of
the
rapidly multiplying reformed denominations.
Whatever the differences between
these groups, one conviction was common to all: Every individual was his
own
priest. Revelation, salvation, and truth were for the individual to find for
himself
directly, not through the Church. The Enlightenment of the 18th century
reinforced
this conviction in a secular form. Any
counterinfluence the Catholic Church might
have exerted in America during this time would have been weakened by its
poverty, its numerical inferiority, and the hostility of the Protestant majority
that
kept Catholics on the margins of public life, which
had a profound influence
on American culture well into the 20th century..." Catholic

Main Justice building in Washington, either in his personal office or a

Letter
from the Holy Father to....and the Open Americas Door to
Christ Documents
Resolute pastoral action is needed
in dealing with sects
3. One of these is to preserve, defend and increase the integrity
of the faith.
Consequently, with my confirmation and ratification, the Congregation for
the
Doctrine of the Faith last year published the Declaration Dominus
Iesus on
the unicity and salvific universality of Jesus Christ and the Church. In
this
Declaration, I invited all Christians "to renew their fidelity to him in
the joy
of faith and to bear unanimous witness that the Son, both today and
tomorrow,
is "the way, and the truth, and the life' (Jn 14: 6)" (Angelus,
1 October 2000).
In this regard, we need to pay special attention to the problem of the
sects,
which are "a grave hindrance to the work of evangelization" (Ecclesia
in
America, n. 73). They have been much studied and discussed, since they
are a phenomenon that cannot be regarded with indifference. Resolute
pastoral action is essential for dealing with this serious problem, by
reviewing
the pastoral methods used, strengthening the structures of communion
and mission, and making the most of "the evangelizing possibilities of
a
purified popular religiosity" (Ecclesia in America, n. 73). In this
regard,
you know how important is the presence of evangelizers, since wherever
priests, religious or lay people are dedicated to the apostolate, sects do
not thrive. Although faith is God's gift, it cannot be instilled or
maintained
without the help of evangelizers. In the process of strengthening the
faith,
the Eucharist is the privileged place for meeting
the living Jesus Christ.
Sunday Mass must be a constant commitment and
practice of all the
faithful. Continually dedicate yourselves and, at the same time, pastorally
commit your priests to the task of promoting this very important aspect
of ecclesial life, which I already recommended in my Apostolic
Letter
Dies Domini (cf. Chapter II). Therefore it is necessary, as I
recently
recalled, "to stress particularly the Sunday
Eucharist and Sunday itself
experienced as a special day of faith, the
day of the risen Lord and of
the gift of the Spirit, the true weekly Easter" (Apostolic
Letter Novo
millennio ineunte, n. 35)...." L'Osservatore Romano-April
