A mere mention of their names with whose support I was able to complete this work would itself require a few pages. That includes people from Pakistan and several people abroad in particular the United States of America. First of all, I would like to acknowledge and thank my supervisor, Prof. Dheen Mohamed for his steady and continuous academic support, encouragement, and tremendous patience. This thesis would obviously not have been possible without his guidance, assistance, and every possible support one could conceive of. His personal library was more beneficial for me than our central library at IIU. I would also like to thank Prof. Zafar Ishaq Ansari without whose continuous prodding and prompting I couldn’t have completed this work. At his hands, I unlearned and then relearned many a lesson as well as almost all I know about the ethics of the academic world. None among my mentors and teachers manifested the ettiquettes of knowledge the way he did. God bless him with good health. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance of other professors among whom Prof. Hasan al-Shafie, Late Prof. Mahmud Ahmad Ghazi and Prof. Abdul Khaliq Kazi stand head and shoulder taller than others. All my teachers and Mashaikh in the Faculty of Islamic Studies and elsewhere have waited long to see the end of this work. It is both with their prayers and kind reprimanding that I could achieve this objective. Several colleagues and friends just too numerous to mention assisted in the completion of this work not to mention our wonderful library staff. I need to make special mention of the Christian Study Centre, Rawalpindi whose ubiquitous Madam Musarrat extended tremendous assistance in ways just too numerous to mention. The Bishop’s Library at St. Mary’s Academy and its librarian was also very supportive. I would also like to acknowledge the continuous support of the administrative staff of IIUI in particular the current Director (Academics), Madam Shagufta Haroon without whose vision and considerate disposition, my thesis would never have seen the light of day. In her, IIUI and the Faculty of Islamic Studies in particular have been blessed with a miracle worker. viii The Faculty of Islamic Studies and in particular the Department of Comparative Religion mean just too much to me to put in words and all I can say is that my department has provided me with numerous opportunities to learn from. In my department, God also blessed me with some wonderful friends and colleagues and indeed some of the most remarkable students I ever came across both with respect to their academic standing and moral decency. I would especially like to thank my long time colleague Dr Drakshan Azam whose thoughtfulness and continuous support were instrumental in seeing the thesis through in its last leg. My friend Dr Muhammad Akram, In charge, Department of Comparative Religion was also helpful in several ways. Last but not least I would like to acknowledge the continuous support, prayers and guidance of my blessed parents, my wife and other family members who have waited patiently for a long long time to see this work see the light of day. ix CONTENTS DECLARATION ......................................................................................................................

A DIAKÓNUS–PRESBITER–PÜSPÖK HIERARCHIKUS RENDSZERÉNEK I. LÉPÉSRÔL LÉPÉSRE TÖRTÉNÔ KIALAKULÁSA Az újszövetségi papság nem vezethetô le más, még a levitikus papság formájából sem, hi- szen ez a feladatkör pap-Jézus Krisztus szolgálatára épül, amiben egyúttal Ô maga az áldo- zat is. Ez a szolgálat folytatódik az apostoli hivatásban, amely hivatalokra tagolódva jele- nik meg a papi ordón belül, és amelynek minden fokozata függ az apostoli szolgálattól.1 Ha megvizsgáljuk a IV–V. századtól a XI. századig terjedô kánonjogi forrásokat, lát- hatjuk a diakónus, pap és püspök klerikusi fokozatokra vonatkozó elôírások lépésrôl lé- pésre történô letisztázódását2, valamint a püspök sajátos kormányzati, tanítói és megszen- telôi hatalmának meghatározó jellegét.3 A Canones Apostolici4 vagy más néven 85 apostoli kánon (IV. század vége)5 és a Statuta Ecclesiae Antiqua (476–485)6 szövegébôl egyértelmûen kitûnik, hogy a korai idôszakban a szent rend egyes fokozataihoz kötôdô sajátosságok még nem kerültek egyértelmû meghatározásra. Sôt, amennyiben megvizsgáljuk az egy- házatyák által ugyanezen idôszakban íródott forrásokat, világosan kitûnik, hogy azok sem tartalmaznak világos meghatározást a szent rend egyes fokozatainak egyedi sajátosságára vonatkozóan. Még a késôbbi – azaz pl. a XI. századi gregoriánus kánongyûjteményekben is – tisztán kivehetô az eredeti forrásoknak ez a tulajdonsága. Ezekben a munkákban el- sôdlegesen Szent Ciprián (†258), Szent Ambrus (†397), Szent Jeromos (†419/420), és Szent Ágoston (†430) írásainak részleteit olvashatjuk.7 A legfontosabb teológiai (ekklézio- * Elhangzott Rómában 2012. március 16-án.

  • Branson-Shaffer-Vatican-II.Pdf
    Vatican II: The Radical Shift to Ecumenism Branson Shaffer History Faculty advisor: Kimberly Little The Catholic Church is the world’s oldest, most continuous organization in the world. But it has not lasted so long without changing and adapting to the times. One of the greatest examples of the Catholic Church’s adaptation to the modernization of society is through the Second Vatican Council, held from 11 October 1962 to 8 December 1965. In this gathering of church leaders, the Catholic Church attempted to shift into a new paradigm while still remaining orthodox in faith. It sought to bring the Church, along with the faithful, fully into the twentieth century while looking forward into the twenty-first. Out of the two billion Christians in the world, nearly half of those are Catholic.1 But, Vatican II affected not only the Catholic Church, but Christianity as a whole through the principles of ecumenism and unity. There are many reasons the council was called, both in terms of internal, Catholic needs and also in aiming to promote ecumenism among non-Catholics. There was also an unprecedented event that occurred in the vein of ecumenical beginnings: the invitation of preeminent non-Catholic theologians and leaders to observe the council proceedings. This event, giving outsiders an inside look at 1 World Religions (2005). The Association of Religious Data Archives, accessed 13 April 2014, http://www.thearda.com/QuickLists/QuickList_125.asp.

  • The Vatican II Sect Vs. the Catholic Church on Non-Catholics Receiving Holy Communion
    239 19. The Vatican II sect vs. the Catholic Church on non-Catholics receiving Holy Communion Pope Pius VIII, Traditi Humilitati (# 4), May 24, 1829: “Jerome used to say it this way: he who eats the Lamb outside this house will perish as did those during the flood who were not with Noah in the 1 ark.” Benedict XVI giving Communion to the public heretic, Bro. Roger Schutz,2 the Protestant founder of Taize on April 8, 2005 In the preceding sections on the heresies of Vatican II and John Paul II, we covered that they both teach the heresy that non-Catholics may lawfully receive Holy Communion. It’s important to summarize the Vatican II sect’s official endorsement of this heretical teaching here for handy reference: Vatican II Vatican II document, Orientalium Ecclesiarum # 27: “Given the above-mentioned principles, the sacraments of Penance, Holy Eucharist, and the anointing of the sick may be conferred on eastern Christians who in good faith are separated from the Catholic Church, if they make the request of their own accord and are properly disposed.”3 Non-Catholics receiving Communion 240 Paul VI solemnly confirming Vatican II Antipope Paul VI, at the end of every Vatican II document: “EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE THINGS SET FORTH IN THIS DECREE HAS WON THE CONSENT OF THE FATHERS. WE, TOO, BY THE APOSTOLIC AUTHORITY CONFERRED ON US BY CHRIST, JOIN WITH THE VENERABLE FATHERS IN APPROVING, DECREEING, AND ESTABLISHING THESE THINGS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND WE DIRECT THAT WHAT HAS THUS BEEN ENACTED IN SYNOD BE PUBLISHED TO GOD’S GLORY..

  • Why the New Rite of Episcopal Consecration Is Valid Fr
    ANGELUSTHE MAGAZINE REPRINT WHY THE NEW RITE OF EPISCOPAL CONSECRATION IS VALID Fr. Pierre-Marie, O.P. This article wishes to settle a debate that has been circulating in traditional Catholic circles. Some writers have examined the new rite of episcopal consecration and concluded that it must be invalid. Since this would cause manifest prob- lems if it were true and due to the heightened awareness of such a theory, The Angelus presents (for the first time in English) a study of this question concluding that it is valid. 2 This article was translated exclusively by Angelus Press from Sel de la Terre (No.54., Autumn 2005, pp.72-129). Fr. Pierre-Marie, O.P., is a member of the traditional Dominican monastery at Avrillé, France, several of whose members were ordained by Archbishop Lefebvre and which continues to receive its priestly ordinations from the bishops serving the Society of Saint Pius X which Archbishop Lefebvre founded. He is a regular contributor to their quarterly review, Sel de la Terre (Salt of the Earth). The English translations contained in the various tables were prepared with the assistance of H.E. Bishop Richard Williamson, Dr. Andrew Senior (professor at St. Mary’s College, St. Mary’s, Kansas), and Fr. Scott Gardner, SSPX. ollowing the Council, in 1968 a new rite for Orders or is merely “a sacramental,” an ecclesiastical the ordination of bishops was promulgated. ceremony wherein the powers of the episcopate, It was, in fact, the first sacrament to undergo its “bound” in the simple priest, are “freed” for the “aggiornamento,” or updating.

White, Ph.D. At the 1884 Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, the US Catholic bishops commissioned a national prayer book titled the Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity and the widely-known Baltimore Catechism. This study examines the Manual’s genesis, contents, and publication history to understand its contribution to the Church’s teaching efforts. To account for the Manual’s contents, the study describes prayer book genres developed in the British Isles that shaped similar publications for use by American Catholics. The study considers the critiques of bishops and others concerning US-published prayer books, and episcopal decrees to address their weak theological content. To improve understanding of the Church’s liturgy, the bishops commissioned a prayer book for the laity containing selections from Roman liturgical books. The study quantifies the text’s sources from liturgical and devotional books. The book’s compiler, Rev. Clarence Woodman, C.S.P., adopted the English manual prayer book genre while most of the book’s content derived from the Roman Missal, Breviary, and Ritual, albeit augmented with highly regarded English and US prayers and instructions.

  • „Principele Scortesco”. Cine Era? (Cu O Incursiune În Peisajul Catolic Tradiţionalist Din Apus)
    1 Un român exilat misterios: „Principele Scortesco”. Cine era? (cu o incursiune în peisajul catolic tradiţionalist din Apus) P. dr. Remus Mircea Birtz, OBSS Summary This study presents some data about the Romanian Traditional Catholic writers, the painter Paul Scorţescu / Scortesco / Scortzesco (1893, Yassy – 1976, Paris), his brother the diplomatic minister Theodor Scorţescu / Scortzesco (1895, Yassy – 1979, Buenos-Aires), known in the Romanian literature, and Miss Myra Davidoglou (1923, Bucharest – 2001, France) a graphic artist too. Some historical and genealogical data about the Scortzesco Moldavian-Romanian noble family are given, and a short landscape of the Traditional Catholic Resistance. It is proven that the well-known statement of Paul Scortzesco about the 1963 Conclave cannot be true, however without denying the election of Cardinal Giuseppe Siri as Pope (Gregory XVII) in the 1958 Conclave. Some biographical data about the Scortzescos can and must be certainly corrected, when new informations from the yet unknown Romanian Exile Culture will be available. Key words: Paul Scorţescu / Scortesco / Scortzesco (1893-1976), Theodor Scorţescu / Scortzesco (1895-1979), Myra Davidoglou (1923-2001), Cardinal Giuseppe Siri (Gregory XVII), Roman Catholic Resistance, Sedevacantism, Romanian Exile. N.B. Studiul a fost prezentat la Simpozionul De la elitele Securităţii la securitatea elitelor organizat de Universitatea Babeş-Bolyai, în 31.III. – 1.IV. 2017, distinsă cu Premiul I, fiind aşteptată publicarea lui în volumul omonim, aflat sub tipar. Dacă Rezistenţa Catolică din România împotriva comunismuluia fost şi este deja amplu investigată şi descrisă, Rezistenţa Catolică din Apusul Europei este practice necunoscută cititorilor români, desi membri marcanţi ai Acesteia au fost şi credincioşi catolici români exilaţi.

  • Like Sheep Without a Shepherd”: Sixty Years of Sede Vacante
    “Like Sheep without a Shepherd”: Sixty Years of Sede Vacante by Mario Derksen presented on October 11, 2018 When Pope Pius XII died on October 9, 1958, no one could have fathomed the calamities that would befall the Church in the years to come. What we have witnessed in the past six decades is unprecedented, and surely if anyone at the time had been told that in just a few short years, the world would see an apparent Catholic Church that has made peace with the errors of the modern world and transformed the Holy Mass into a Protestant worship service, he would not have believed it. If such a one had been told that the so-called Catholic Church of the next few decades would indoctrinate children and adults in Naturalism and the so-called “rights of man” and engage in efforts to seek the truth conjointly with heretics, Jews, Muslims, and heathens, he would have considered such a prediction insane. So stark is the contrast between the Catholic Church the world knew until the passing of Pope Pius XII and the institution that has since claimed that name, that in 1968, only ten years after Pius XII’s death, the Australian writer Frank Sheed published a book with the telling title, Is it the same Church?.1 The Novus Ordo cardinal Karol Wojtyla, who would later call himself “Pope John Paul II,” wrote in his 1977 book Sign of Contradiction that “the Church succeeded, during the second Vatican Council, in re-defining her own nature.”2 This was apparently also the position of the Vatican, whose Substitute Secretary of State, the Novus Ordo cardinal Giovanni Benelli, in 1976 had been the first to use the term “Conciliar Church” to refer to the new religion that the council had brought about.
