  • Ideal" and "Real" in Classical Jewish Political Theory
    IDEAL" AND "REAL" IN CLASSICAL JEWISH POLITICAL THEORY Gerald J.Blidstein This essay considers the degree to which Jewish political and legal ? ? theory allows and, indeed, mandates the recognition that the Torah legislates an ideal law which is not appropriate for situations of social and political stress, and the degree to which such situations are really the historical norm rather than the exception. The Talmud, it is shown, adum brates this concept, but in a fairly marginal form.Maimonides places it at center stage of societal governance, apparently expecting that a Jewish so ciety will of necessity be thrown back upon this option; but he also sug gests guidelines for its regulation. R. Nissim of Barcelona (fourteenth century) both expands the concept and also relaxes the Maimonidean re strictions on its use. This final form of the doctrine receives a thorough critique at the hands of Isaac Abrabanel; but it also serves as the linchpin for much contemporary argument for the legitimacy of Israeli legislation from a classical Jewish perspective. The relationship of law and political theory to reality, that is, to the actual doings of people in society and to the concrete problems faced by societies, is undoubtedly complex. Are law and political theory to are shape reality? Or is the reverse true, and both law and theory to take their cue from society? This, of course, is a very abstract formula tion of the issue. It is also an overly extreme and polarized formulation, for it is likely that the relationship of law and political theory to re ality is dynamic and indeed dialectical.

In i8i6 the historian Barthold Georg Niebuhr came across a manuscript in Verona, a text from Saint Jerome writtenover a much earlier work. He reported this palimpsest (at some points ter scriptus,a double palimpsest) to his friend Friedrich Karl von Savigny, the greatest legal scholar of the age and the emerging leader of the so-called Historical School of Law. Savigny immedi- ately recognized it as the work of the second-centuryjurist Gaius, otherwise preserved only in fragmentaryform in that great sixth-centuryanthology, the Digestof Justinian.

  • Ancient Economic Thought, Volume 1
    ANCIENT ECONOMIC THOUGHT This collection explores the interrelationship between economic practice and intellectual constructs in a number of ancient cultures. Each chapter presents a new, richer understanding of the preoccupation of the ancients with specific economic problems including distribution, civic pride, management and uncertainty and how they were trying to resolve them. The research is based around the different artifacts and texts of the ancient East Indian, Hebraic, Greek, Hellenistic, Roman and emerging European cultures which remain for our consideration today: religious works, instruction manuals, literary and historical writings, epigrapha and legal documents. In looking at such items it becomes clear what a different exercise it is to look forward, from the earliest texts and artifacts of any culture, to measure the achievements of thinking in the areas of economics, than it is to take the more frequent route and look backward, beginning with the modern conception of economic systems and theory creation. Presenting fascinating insights into the economic thinking of ancient cultures, this volume will enhance the reawakening of interest in ancient economic history and thought. It will be of great interest to scholars of economic thought and the history of ideas. B.B.Price is Professor of Ancient and Medieval History at York University, Toronto, and is currently doing research and teaching as visiting professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

  • Questions and Answers Regarding the Canonical Process for the Resolution of Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests and Deacons
    Questions and Answers Regarding the Canonical Process for the Resolution of Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests and Deacons Q: Does the Church have its own laws against the sexual abuse of minors by members of the clergy? A: Yes, the Church has long had laws on the books that address this crime. Even before the majority of the Church laws were collected into a single code of laws (in 1917 and in 1983), sins against the Sixth Commandment with a minor were also considered criminal acts. From 1917 onwards, the Church promulgated concise legal norms that stated this and that imposed penalties on clergy that offended in this terrible way. Q: Which Church authority is responsible for addressing these offenses? A: In April 2001, Pope John Paul II issued a law stating that, from then on, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) in Rome, headed at the time by Cardinal Ratzinger, the future Pope Benedict XVI, would have sole Church authority over this crime. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is one of the offices that assist the Pope in fulfilling his mission as Supreme Pastor of the Catholic Church. Prior to 2001, the crime was generally to be dealt with on the local level by the diocesan bishop. The CDF would have been involved if the offense had occurred on the occasion of the celebration of the Sacrament of Penance (confession). Otherwise, the case would have gone for a second hearing (appeal from the diocese) to the Congregation for Clergy or the Tribunal of the Roman Rota, offices that assist the Pope, depending on how the allegation had been resolved on the local level.

  • Policy Manual Archdiocese Archdiocese of Grouard-Mclennan
    Policy Manual Archdiocese of Grouard---McLennan-McLennan POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ARCHDIOCESE OF GROUARD-MCLENNAN Preamble What you are holding is the Policies and Procedures Manual of the Archdiocese of Grouard- McLennan. This manual has been put together with a couple of goals in mind: 1. To provide information on the history and development of the Archdiocese, that is not easily found elsewhere; 2. To provide the policies and procedures that pastors, lay pastoral animators, councils and committees may need to follow in their administration and ministry in the Archdiocese. As much as possible, this same information will be available on the Archdiocesan web-site (www.archgm.ca ), but it is found here in a printed format for the benefit of those who do not easily use a computer or have access to one. In selecting policies and procedures, the College of Consultors / Council of Priests has made every effort to include here only those matters which are not adequately found elsewhere in the Code of Canon Law (CGC), or the Canonical and Pastoral Guide for Parishes (CPGP) Canadian Edition 2006, published by Wilson & Lafleur (Montreal). Every parish must have a copy of these two works as well. As further policies and procedures are enacted, or as those found in this manual are amended, the current policies and procedures will be sent to every parish, as well as posted on the Archdiocesan website.
