Kansas-based priest to become bishop in Myanmar

Salina, Kan., Dec 4, 2010 / 07:51 am (EWTN News/CNA)
Fr. Alexander Cho goes where he's needed. The Burmese priest came to Kansas in 2007 to help fill a shortage of priests, but he'll soon be returning home to become the Bishop of Pyay,Myanmar.
Pope Benedict XVI announced the new appointment of the bishop-designate on Dec. 3. He will leave behind his two parishes in Kansas and return to the Southeast Asian country of Myanmar –also known as Burma– after Christmas. There, he expects to beconsecrated as a bishop next spring.

While his adopted country struggles with a priest shortage and many cultural challenges, those difficulties pale before the obstacles facing the Catholic Church in Myanmar. The country became a military dictatorship in 1962, and citizens have almost none of the religious and civil rights that Americans take for granted. While worship is allowed, most other religious activities are not.

Four priests from Myanmar, where Western countries once sent their own Catholic missionaries, currently work in the Diocese of Salina in Kansas. Fr. Cho was ordained a priest for the Burmese Diocese of Pyay in 1975, and served for more than two decades as a pastor there. The bishop-designate was also rector of Myanmar's major seminary for seven years.

“The priests in Burma heard about the need for priests in the United States,” he told EWTN News on Dec. 3. One of their compatriots who had come to America noted the clerical shortage, and put the word out back home. That was how Fr. Cho ended up coming to Salina to work double-duty as the pastor of St. Mary's and St. Aloysius Gonzaga parishes.

That experience, the bishop-designate said, provided important lessons that he would take back with him to his native Pyay. “I've learned many, many things,” he reflected, especially from observing the “systematic running of the diocese,” and sharing in the “very friendly and very brotherly” spirit in which the hard-working priests support one another.

This lesson in mutual support could prove to be especially important for Burmese Catholics, who comprise less than two percent of a nation that is around 80 percent Buddhist. An even smaller proportion of the people residing in the Diocese of Pyay are Catholic, reportedly less than one percent.

The future bishop of the diocese noted it would be “very hard” to convert some residents whose Buddhist practice is closely tied to their regional and tribal identity. Yet he was optimistic about opportunities for evangelism, mentioning a “very great hope” for the Church's growth in areas where Buddhism is less dominant.

Fr. Cho predicted it will be difficult to fulfill the Church's entire social and cultural mandate, under a regime that grants almost no freedom to its citizens. In this context, he said, the Church in Myanmar will have to be “very careful” to preserve its current small measure of freedom.

“The government is trying to control everything,” he observed. “At present, it is very hard to change the whole system … they have their power, they have their guns. So it is not easy to change the situation at present. I don't see a very good future yet.”

The bishop-designate's leadership will be urgently needed. “Because of the improper governing, people are also becoming worse in their morality, in their livelihood, in their education, all these … The situation is becoming worse.”

Husband Shopping Center

There was a "Husband Shopping Center" where a woman could go to choose a husband from among many men.

It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors. The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor, and if
you went up a floor, you couldn't go back down except to leave the place.

So, a couple of girlfriends go to the place to find men.

First floor: The door had a sign saying "These men have jobs and love kids".

The women read the sign and say, "Well that's better than not having jobs, or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further up?" So up they go.

Second floor says "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking". Hummm, say the girls but, I wonder what's further up?

Third floor: "These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework". "WOW!" say the women. Very tempting, BUT, there's more further up! And up they go.

Fourth Floor: "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak". "Oh mercy me, But just think! What must be awaiting us further up!" So, up to the fifth floor they go.

Fifth floor: The sign on the door said "This floor is just to prove that women are impossible to please. Please exit the building and have a nice day".

Pope says condoms acceptable 'in certain cases'

BERLIN (AFP) - – Pope Benedict XVI says that condom use is acceptable "in certain cases", notably to reduce the risk of HIV infection, in a book due out Tuesday, apparently softening his once hardline stance.

In a series of interviews published in his native German, the 83-year-old Benedict is asked whether "the Catholic Church is not fundamentally against the use of condoms."

"It of course does not see it as a real and moral solution," the pope replies.

"In certain cases, where the intention is to reduce the risk of infection, it can nevertheless be a first step on the way to another, more humane sexuality," said the head of the world's 1.1 billion Catholics.

The new volume, entitled "Light of the World: The Pope, the Church and the Signs of the Times", is based on 20 hours of interviews conducted by German journalist Peter Seewald.

Until now, the Vatican had prohibited the use of any form of contraception -- other than abstinence -- even as a guard against sexually transmitted disease.

Benedict sparked international outcry in March 2009 on a visit to AIDS-ravaged Africa when he told reporters the disease was a tragedy "that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problems."

To illustrate his apparent shift in position, Benedict offered the example of a male prostitute using a condom.

"There may be justified individual cases, for example when a male prostitute uses a condom, where this can be ... a first bit of responsibility, to re-develop the understanding that not everything is permitted and that one may not do everything one wishes," Benedict was quoted as saying.

"But it is not the proper way to deal with the horror of HIV infection."

Benedict reiterated that condom use alone would not solve the problem of HIV/AIDS. "More must happen," he said.

"Becoming simply fixated on the issue of condoms makes sexuality more banal and exactly this is the reason why so many people no longer find sexuality to be an expression of their love, but a type of self-administered drug."

Other than condoms, the book, set to be translated into 18 languages, addresses many other sensitive issues, including the paedophile priest scandals, celibacy and female ordination.

Concerning the paedophile scandal that has rocked Benedict's native Germany as well as other countries around the world, the pope said he was "deeply shocked" by it.

Benedict raised the possibility of a "sincere" dialogue with Islam, adding that a controversial speech he gave on the subject was an attempt at an academic discourse rather than a political lecture.

In a September 2006 speech in Regensburg in his native Bavaria, the pope provoked outrage among sections of the Muslim community for appearing to question the rational basis of Islam and associating it with violence.

Benedict also criticised a French law banning Muslim women from wearing full-face veils such as the burqa and the niqab in public.

"Some women do not wear the burqa entirely voluntarily and it is correct to talk of a violation against that woman. Of course one cannot agree with that," he said.

"But if they want to wear it voluntarily, I don't know why one must ban them.

The new book is the first collection of interviews with the pontiff since the then cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became pope in April 2005.

Seewald asked more than 90 questions on three major themes during conversations conducted July 26-31 at the pope's summer residence in the Italian town of Castel Gandolfo.

The pontiff also discusses the case of the Holocaust-denying bishop Roger Williamson, the danger of a schism in the Church and the possibility of a Vatican III Council on Church reforms, which has for now been put off.

A former communist, Seewald became Catholic after meeting Cardinal Ratzinger, with whom he produced two earlier volumes of interviews.

A Confession

A priest was being honoured at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician, who was also a member of the congregation, was chosen to make the presentation and give a little leaving speech at the dinner. He was delayed so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited.
'I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when stopped by the police, had almost murdered the officer. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his place of business, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs. I was appalled. But as the days went on I knew that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.'
Just as the priest finished his talk the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and give his speech.
'I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived,' said the politician. 'In fact, I had the honour of being the first one to go to him in confession.'

Kayan is not always Myanmar Kayan(lahwi Kayan)

There is another tribe name Kayan in Indonesia aside from Kayan from Myanmar. Myanmar Kayan is usually described as Lahwi Kayan. But this Indonesia Kayans are called Borneo Kayan. We, Myanmar Kayan are closed to Kayah(karennie) while Borneo Kayan are closed to Kenyah. Kenyah is also a tribe in Borneo.

Kayan is name of a tribe found in Borneo island. This kayan is ethnic of Borneo island. The Kayan people are categorized as a part of the Dayak people of Borneo. Being an indigenous tribe in central Borneo, Kayans are similar to their neighbors the Kenyah tribe with which they are grouped together under the Bahau ethnic group.
The population of the Kayan ethnic group may be some 27,000. They are part of a larger grouping of people referred to collectively as the Orang Ulu, or upriver people. Like some other Dayak people they are known for being fierce warriors, former headhunters, adept in dry-rice cultivation, and having extensive tattoos and stretched earlobes amongst both sexes.
They may have originated from along the Kayan river in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of Borneo.
They live along the upper Kayan and the middle Kapuas and Mahakam rivers. They seem to have been expanding to the south in Sarawak in historic times, generating some conflicts with the Iban that where expanding north at the same time. The have settled in Sarawak on the middle Baram river, the Bintulu river and along the Rajang river, having been pressed back a little during the late 19th century.

Church supports Kayan harvest festival

By ucanews.com reporter, Loikaw
The Kayan tribe from Loikaw diocese in eastern Myanmar celebrates the traditional Di Khu or steam-packed glutinous rice festival as a tribute to a successful harvest.


Women in Kayar traditional costume preparing steam-packed glutinous rice for the 'Di Khu' festival

U Phe Bu, a Catholic, said that although different villages in Kayar state celebrate the festival at their convenience between September and October, the rules and practices for the three-day ceremony are the same.

In the morning of the festival’s first day, male adults getthe leaves for wrapping the glutinous rice from the forest. The women then select the best leaves and pack the glutinous rice in a triangle shape. Three packed glutinous rice are then tied together with a thin bamboo strip to symbolize unity and reunification of parents, siblings and relatives, he explained.

For the second day, the village host and family members invite friends and relatives, near and far, to join the feast filled with steamed glutinous rice, assorted food and traditional wine.

On the evening of the last day, they bring two baskets filled with charcoal, paddy husk, pine chunks, pumpkin leaves, arum or pein leaves, brass blowpipe and gourd to the northern shrine of nuts (gods)and make a devotional offering.

Father Louise Maurice, a parish priest, said that since the traditional worship of the Kayans is similar to animist practises, the Catholic Church never encourages the Kayan Catholics to perform traditional worship. But because of the increasing influence of interreligious harmony and spiritual knowledge, the Church celebrates together with traditional worship.

The Church now allows worship of gods or animists to be practiced together with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, giving of alms to the priests and gathering with friends and relatives.

“We can express our feelings and gratitude to God according to our tradition,” said Father Maurice. He added that since the Church encourages different indigenous groups to sustain their traditional festivals, there is more unity in the Church due to the combined traditional and religious festivals.

Prisoner Mail

A prisoner in jail receives a letter from his wife: “Dear Husband, I have decided to plant some lettuce in the back garden. When is the best time to plant them?”

The prisoner, knowing that the prison guards read all mail, replied in a letter: “Dear Wife, whatever you do, do not touch the back garden. That is where I hid all the money.”

A week or so later, he received another letter from his wife: “Dear Husband, You wouldn’t believe what happened, some men came with shovels to the house, and dug up all the back garden.”

The prisoner wrote another letter back: “Dear wife, now is the best time to plant the lettuce.”

Unity and Dyanpli

Unity is defined as the state of being undivided or unbroken completeness or totality with nothing wanting. It is the smallest whole numeral representation. It has the quality of being united into one.


Khu ngo and Thut Pi cook Dyanpli in Singapore
Unity can denote a combining of all the parts, elements and individuals into an effective whole. It is applicable to people and objects forming whole notions of any concept.

Dyanpli is always compare with unity in kayan land because they have similarity. Kayan assume Dyanpli as a togetherness. Dyanpli is compose of rice and Meat. The best rice for Dyanpli is rice from hill side. Those rice are sticky and perfect for Dyanpli. It is better than the rice from irrigation farm.

To cook Dyanpli a big cauldron(big pan) is needed. It is place on three stone. Three stones are used as the stands for cauldron. The best firewood are selected to cook Dyanpli. Chopped beefs are boiled first. The chef put rice and mix with meats. Rice must be mixed always to avoid over cook. The ingredient are ginger, pounding chili(ta hai yu i ) and lemon grass(myau hai). The flavor of Dyanpli is unbeatable by any flavor of other kinds of soup. The appearance of Dyanpli is different from soup because there is no liquid. It is only rice and meats.

Without Dyanpli, a feast is incomplete. The taste of Dyanpli has nourished us and the meaning of Dyanpli has inspired us. We are only 402,000 while Myanmar population is 59,000,000. It is only 0.68 percent. But wherever we are, from Kayan Land or foreigner land, we can be with Kayan in any form. Let us stick together and be united. Guard our land , raise our flag and write down our name KAYAN. Show the world that we are strong.

Filipinos are preparing for the coming of Jesus Christ since September

Christmas in the Philippines is a festivity, which starts as early as September. It is the longest and merriest fiesta in the whole biosphere and time for family, sharing and good food.

It is a celebration of devotion and giving of thanks to Jesus Christ.
A number of radio stations and shopping malls start playing Christmas carol in the beginning of September, while shoppers start on a spree for the December holidays. GMA news countdowns days left to Christmas every night. Christmas light makers and firework maker are preparing for Christmas. These show the importance of the celebration of the birth of Christ to Filipinos.

The Philippines is the only Asian country where Christians predominate. Majority of its people are Roman Catholic. Christmas, therefore, is an extremely important and revered holiday for most Filipinos. It is a time for family, for sharing, for giving, and a time for food, fun, and friendship.

To most Filipinos, Christmas is the most anticipated fiesta of the year and is celebrated accordingly. The splendid climate of this tropical island nation, the abundance and beauty of its flowers, and lovely landscape, its multitude of culinary delights, and above all its warm-hearted people with their true devotio
n to family and faith all contribute to a holiday celebrated in the true Philippines fiesta tradition.

Biblical tale of Moses parting the Red Sea 'may really have happened'

The dramatic parting of the Red Sea for the Israelites is perhaps the most spectacular miracle described in the Old Testament.


An artist's impression showing how a strong wind could have pushed back waters from two ancient basins, a lagoon (left) and a river (right), and led to the Biblical account of the parting of the Red Sea
Now scientists believe it may actually have happened - although it owed more to Mother Nature than to Moses.

A computer simulation suggests that a powerful east wind, blowing for 12 hours overnight, could have driven back shallow waters for four hours allowing a crossing in an area near that depicted in Exodus. In the biblical account, which was given the Hollywood treatment in Charlton Heston's epic The Ten Commandments, Moses and the Israelites were trapped between the Pharaoh's advancing chariots and the sea.

Thanks to divine intervention, a mighty east wind blows all night, splitting the waters to leave a passage of dry land with walls of water on both sides.


Other theories to explain the parting of the Red Sea





Several previous theories have been put forward to explain the parting of the Red Sea.

One involved a tsunami, which can cause a body of water to retreat and then advance rapidly.

But such an event would not have caused the gradual overnight divide of the waters as described in the Bible, or been so associated with winds.

Other experts have focused on a phenomenon linked to strong persistent winds known as 'wind setdown' which can lower water levels in one area while piling up water downwind.

One study found that winds blowing from the north-west at a near-hurricane force of 74mph could in theory have exposed an underwater reef near the present-day Suez Canal, providing a walkable land passage.

The fleeing Israelites make their escape, but when the Pharaoh's army tries to pursue them the waters come crashing back and drown the soldiers.

Scientists believe the likely location of the 'miracle' was not the Red Sea, but a nearby spot in the Nile Delta region where an ancient river is believed to have merged with a coastal lagoon.
Analysis of archaeological records, satellite measurements and maps allowed the researchers to estimate the water flow and depth at the site 3,000 years ago. An ocean computer model was then used to simulate-the impact of a strong wind on the 6ft deep waters.

The scientists found an east wind of 63 mph blowing for 12 hours would have driven the waters back, both into the lake and the river channel. This would have created a land bridge about two miles long and three miles wide lasting four hours.

The waters really would have been parted, with barriers of water raised on both sides of the newly exposed mud flats.

As soon as the winds dropped, the waters would have rushed back, much like a tidal bore.

Anyone stranded on the mud would have been at risk of drowning, said the scientists, whose findings were reported in the online journal Public Library of Science ONE.

Lead researcher Carl Drews, from the National Centre for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, said: 'People have always been fascinated by this Exodus story, wondering if it comes from historical facts. What this study shows is that the description of the waters parting indeed has a basis in physical laws.

'The parting of the waters can be understood through fluid dynamics. The wind moves the water in a way that's in accordance with physical laws, creating a safe passage with water on two sides and then abruptly allowing the water to rush back in.'




An old drawing showing Moses parting the Red Sea

The computer simulations showed dry land could also have been exposed at two other nearby sites during a wind storm.

Those events did not fit so well with the Biblical account, since both involved a single body of water getting pushed to one side rather than being parted.

Previous theories have been put forward to explain the parting of the Red Sea. One involved a tsunami, which can cause a body of water to retreat and then advance rapidly. But such an event would not have caused the gradual overnight divide as described in the Bible, or been so associated with winds.

Kayan Marriage

Early 1980, the Kayan marry very early, almost invariably in their teens. Marriage can be brought about in three ways


a couple of Lahwi

1. by arrangement between the parents
2. by arrangement between the parties(couple)
3. by the service of their unties, uncles or a person who go between(pra pao ba).
Period to 1960, marriages arrange by parents or by a go between are common. Marriage was arranged by a go between when two parties were not from the same village. Most of girls and boys get to know each other at festival.

There was no dating, not cuddling and no kissing. The love making is quite formal, in appearance at any rate. It is done in the gloaming, to hour called lads-go-courting time. The youth comes to the girl house with his friends. They brought their old tradition guitar and sang songs. The girl then entertained them with kayan tradition wine which is drunk with a straw. There is no individual straw. All used the same straw to drink wine. When a boy ask girl to marry him, usually the girl tell him to talk with her parents. After the parents of boy know the relationship or the situation between their children, they pay a formal visit to the girl house and talk about the relationship between their children with the parents of girl and if the parents of girl accept, marriage is arranged.

Bride price is usually some hundred of silver coins, cows, pigs and many pots of wine. Kayan get marriage in the church since 1900. Buddhist Kayan and Kan Kwan get marriage in front of Monk, Pagoda or elders. Kayan do not marry for money, they marry to have children. The common blessing from elders is “may God bless you and have many children”. Divorce is very rare. Average number of children in a family is six. Some have children up to 18. Polygamy is not allowed and incest is strongly prohibited.

No one should marry his/her uncles of unties as well as their niece or nephew because they are not from the same line. In kayan it is called swebo or swe co dawn. The forbidding of getting marriage of swebo has troubled many couples to Kayan lovers. Those who committed these prohibiting will have to get out from the village. They are rejected from the village.

Kayan do not called their wives honey, baby or sweetheart but they called their wives Mao ru or Mao Pra mean dirty woman and old woman. The kayan women also call their husbands Pa ru or Pa Pra which mean dirty Man and Old man. But these calling is a kind of sweet expression that kayan married couple like to call each other.

Kayan do not divorce easily but love each other faithfully. They keep their promise of marriage forever.

Why Kayan women should not wear neck ring in this modern world?

There is a discussion about a topic, Why some Kayan females dont want to wear neck rings?on Kayan Online forum. Majority of Kayan youths do not want kayan young women wear neck ring. The major reason is it affected their education and the only way to bring out kayan from the place where people said human zoo is let the children study and learn to escape. Some people think they need to wear neck ring to maintain kayan culture.

On Kayan Online forum, a kayan student, Titus, who is studying in Manila said“not wearing neck rings is not equal to throwing away our kayan identity or culture at all”. On the other hand, Naing Oo who is a Oversea Kayan Worker(OKW) add “according to this modern world and Kayan should focus on education but we understand that those who stay wear it mean they are still behind and force to wear by their parents”. Actually they are also forced by business man or local government in Thailand.
In Thailand Kayan women are control by local business men and government. Musar, who is kayan, was not allowed to go to where she could receive a high school education. She proceeded to strip off her rings in 2005 and left her village to pursue an education.

Other young women told similar stories.
"I can't go out from the village. There is neither freedom nor basic rights living in the village," said 16-year-old Mu Thaung, speaking of life wearing the rings. Until recently, she had studied at a Karenni high school. "The main reason to take off my rings was to be able to further my education freely."

"If we continue to wear these rings, we will not have any choices about what we want to be in the future. Now I am studying at [a Karenni] leadership school. If I tried to study outside the village wearing these rings, local authorities would never allow it," said 22 year-old Mu Youg, who stripped off her rings just last year. "What I want to do is to continue my studies. After I have finished studying, I would like to share what I have learnt with my people. This is my ambition," she said.

Recently more than 10 long-neck girls have gone to high school outside their villages. But life for these students is not easy with their necks bared.

The girls always feel afraid of the local authorities and tour operators who control the villages. Some have been forced to put the rings back on by local Thai businessmen.
After wearing the rings for about 15 years, Mu Paw Paw (not her real name) stripped off her rings in order to be able to live a normal life. She said: "The rings are a prison."

But a Thai businesswoman, who controlled Hway Su Thao, where Paw Paw lived, tried to force Paw Paw to put the rings back on. When Paw Paw refused, the woman kicked her out of the village.

"I didn't want them to control me," said Paw Paw. Using her basic English, Paw Paw got a job in Mae Hong Son. She managed to stand on her own two feet without relying on the tourist business in her village. However, she said: "The best thing would be to maintain the traditions and to be free too."

As we are Kayan, we should encourage them to let their children study as other whenever we meet them. Some of young women take away their neck ring and study in the college. Education is the only way that we can save our Kayan children. “Not wearing neck ring does not mean forgetting our culture” said Khu Fumai.
