Sampo, President Emeritus of the Thomas More College of Liberal Arts, with its distinguished State Merit Award. The NEBHE bestowed this honor on Dr. Sampo because he “illus- trates New England’s rich higher education resource and reflects NEBHE’s primary mission to en- sure that all of our region’s stu- dents have access to quality, af- fordable higher education.” Founded in 1955, the NEBHE was the brainchild of six New England governors who realized that the future prosperity of their Joseph Geiger, Jr. (Class of 2001), Rep.

  • Edward Irving
    Edward Irving: Romantic Theology in Crisis Peter Elliott Edward Irving: Romantic theology in crisis Peter Elliott BA, BD, MTh(Hons.) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………… Peter Elliott Abstract In 1822 a young Church of Scotland minister named Edward Irving accepted a post in London and quickly attracted wide upper-class support. He numbered amongst his friends and admirers the political historian Thomas Carlyle and the Romantic poet-philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge. During the next decade, Irving developed views and practices that could be described as millenarian and proto- pentecostal; his interest in prophecy grew and his Christology became unorthodox. He was ejected from his church and hundreds followed him to begin a new group. Within a short period of time, he was relegated to a subordinate position within this group, which later became the Catholic Apostolic Church. He died in 1834 at the age of 42. This paper examines Irving’s underlying Romanticism and the influences on him, including his complex relationships with Carlyle and Coleridge, and then demonstrates how his Romanticism informed all of his key theological positions, often in tension with the more established Rationalism of the time. In ejecting Irving from his pastorate, the Church of Scotland officials were rejecting his idealistic and Romantic view of Christianity. It was this same idealism, with reference to the charismata, that alienated Irving from a senior role in the nascent Catholic Apostolic Church.

  • Plenary Wrap-Up – May, 2011 the Following Is a Record of Proceedings
    Plenary wrap-up – May, 2011 The following is a record of proceedings and discussions which took place at the Plenary Meeting of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference between May 6-12, 2011. The Mass of the Holy Spirit was concelebrated on Friday 6 May in the chapel of Mary MacKillop Place, North Sydney at 7am. The President of Conference, Archbishop Philip Wilson, was the principal celebrant and preached the homily. The President welcomed the Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Guiseppe Lazzarotto who was warmly greeted. As is customary for each Plenary, religious leaders from CRA (Catholic Religious Australia) were present as observers for all of the sessions. These leaders were Sr. Anne Derwin rsj (Sister of St Joseph); Fr Timothy Norton svd (Divine Word Missionary); and Sr Marie Duffy rsm (Sister of Mercy). In a particular moment, the Bishops remembered fondly but with deep sadness their brother Bishop Joseph Angelo Grech, who died suddenly late last year (28 December) of a blood disorder. His contribution to the life of the Australian Church was recognised, and the Bishops reflected on the difficulty of losing such a talented individual on many of their commissions. The following changes to Commissions were approved: Bishop Peter Elliott retire from the Bishops Commission for Pastoral Life due to commitments to the Personal Ordinariate; Bishop Julian Porteous be seconded to the Bishops Commission for Mission and Faith Formation; Bishop Christopher Prowse be seconded to the Bishops Commission for Pastoral Life; Bishop Christopher Prowse

  • Saturday 29 September, 2012, Saint Mary of Victories Church. St Louis
    Saturday 29 September, 2012, Saint Mary of Victories Church. St Louis MO Public Lecture BENEDICT XVI AND THE LITURGY: VISION, TEACHING, ACTION Most Rev. Peter J. Elliott* In the dark years leading up to the Second World War, a German boy discovered the wondrous world of Catholic liturgy. Worshipping with his family in a Bavarian parish influenced by the Liturgical Movement, carefully following his people’s missal,1 Joseph Ratzinger is now Pope Benedict XVI. In his autobiography, Milestones, Memoirs 1927-1977, he expressed his life-long love of the liturgy. “Naturally the child I then was did not grasp every aspect of this, but I started down the road of the liturgy, and this became a continuous process of growth into a grand reality transcending all particular individuals and generations, a reality that became an occasion for me of ever-new amazement and discovery. The incredible reality of the Catholic liturgy has accompanied me through all phases of life, and so I shall have to speak of it time and again.” 2 1. HIS VISION The Hermeneutic of Continuity His life story helps us see why, both as cardinal and Pope, his vision of worship has been guided by the same principle that informs his theology within the ressourcement school of thought - the hermeneutic of continuity. The word “hermeneutic” means a way of interpreting something. The hermeneutic of continuity means that we should interpret the Second Vatican Council as part of the continuous growth of the living tradition of the Church, that is, only in continuity with all other Councils, not as a sharp break with the past.

  • The Epistle: October 2016
    The Reception into Full Communion of St. Luke’s Parish October 9, 2011 St. Luke’s Ordinariate Parish Washington DC The Epistle “Tis Good, Lord, to be Here” We hope as many of our friends as possible will join us at our 8:30 am mass on Sunday, October 9th to help St. Luke's mark an important milestone in our history: it will be the fifth anniversary of St. Luke's reception into the Catholic Church. We aren't exaggerating when we say that this was a historic event. St. Luke's was the first Episcopal church to come into the Catholic Church under the provisions of then-Pope Benedict XVI's Anglicanorum Coetibus. Anglicanorum Coetibus was a 2009 apostolic constitution that allowed Episcopal parishes to be received into the Church, while retaining elements of Anglican tradition and liturgical practice. Father Mark Lewis, our pastor, doesn't hold back when it comes to the significance of the then-pope's action on behalf of Anglicans. “Every now and then, a momentous event takes place. Few if any since the Reformation have more significance than Anglicanorum Coetibus,” Father Mark once explained to a reporter. “Pope Benedict XVI, with one fell swoop of the pen, opened the door for whole groups of Volume 2, Issue 10 Anglicans to reunite with Holy Mother Church.” October 2016 And what are we doing to celebrate? We're marking the day in the most appropriate 2 manner possible: by welcoming more new Catholics into Holy Mother Church. Bishop Steven J. Lopes will confirm five adults at Mass that day.
