  • Pope St. Pius V: Pope of the Rosary Pope St
    Did you know . Pope St. Pius V: Pope of the Rosary Pope St. Pius V is one of the foremost leaders of the Catholic Reformation. He was born Antonio Ghislieri in Bosco, Italy, to a poor family; he worked as a shepherd until the age of fourteen when he joined the Dominicans, and was ordained in 1528. He studied at Bologna and Genoa, and then taught theology and philosophy for sixteen years. He was known for his long hours of prayer and fasting, and his holy speech. Due to his reputation for holiness and his great intelligence, he rose to a number of prominent positions in the Church, including Inquisitor and bishop. When Pope Pius IV died in 1565, he was unanimously elected Pope and took the name Pope Pius V. As pope, Pius was a great reformer and saw as his main objective the full implementation of the decrees of the Council of Trent. He also supported the foreign missions and worked for the reform of the clergy. He published the Roman Catechism, the revised Roman Breviary, and the Roman Missal; he also declared Thomas Aquinas a Doctor of the Church, commanded a new edition of the works of Thomas Aquinas, and created a commission to revise the Vulgate. Pope Pius V was especially known for his devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and for being a great promoter of the Holy Rosary. He was given the title of “The Pope of the Rosary” for issuing a papal bull, Consueverunt Romani Pontifices, in which he secured the uniformity of the Holy Rosary for recitation throughout the Catholic Church and for establishing the feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

SPOHNHOLZ DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS Honors Thesis ************************* PASS WITH DISTINCTION JOSI~~ s eLf" \\)J I \%\1 )10 dW JOJ JOS!Ape S!SalH· S\;/ :383110J S~ONOH A.1IS~31\INn 3H.1 0.1 PRECIS Pope Benoit XIII (1328-1423), although an influential advocate for reforms within the Catholic Church in the middle ages, receives little attention from modem historians. Historians rarely offer more than a brief biography and often neglect to mention at all his key role in the Great Schism. Yet, the very absence ofPope Benoit XIU from most historical narratives of medieval history itself highlights the active role that historians play in determining what gets recorded. In some cases, the choices that people make in determining what does, and what does not, get included in historical accounts reveals as much about the motivations and intentions of the people recording that past as it does about their subjects. This essay studies one example of this problem, in this case Europeans during the Reformation era who self-consciously manipulated sources from medieval history to promote their own agendas. We can see this in the sixteenth-century translation ofa treatise written by the medieval theologian Nicholas de Clamanges (1363-1437. Clamanges was a university professor and served as Benoit XIII's secretary during the Great Schism in Avignon, France. The treatise, entitled La Traite de fa Ruine de f'Eglise, was written in Latin in 1398 and was first distributed after Clamanges' death in 1437.

  • Ignatius, Prayer and the Spiritual Exercises 47–58 Harvey D
    THE WAY a review of Christian spirituality published by the British Jesuits April 2021 Volume 60, Number 2 IGNATIUS AND THE FIRST COMPANIONS THE WAY April 2021 Foreword 5–6 Ignatius and the Stars 8–17 Tim McEvoy Ignatius of Loyola has a reputation as a hard-headed administrator, guiding and steering his nascent religious order from the heart of the Church in Rome. His personal writings, however, reveal other sides to his character. Here Tim McEvoy considers his predilection for gazing contemplatively at the stars, and asks what it can tell us about him in the light of the cosmology of his time. Ignatian Discernment and Thomistic Prudence: Opposition or 18–36 Harmony? Timothy M. Gallagher and David M. Gallagher Although Ignatius has become well known as a teacher of discernment, his methods have also attracted criticism at times. It has been suggested, for instance, that Ignatius’ thought lacks the precision to be found in the writings of Thomas Aquinas.Timothy and David Gallagher discuss how the Thomistic virtue of prudence might relate to, and supplement, Ignatian discernment. Core Ingredients in Ignatius' Recipe 37–45 Gail Paxman The well-known spiritual writer Anthony de Mello likened the text of the Spiritual Exercises to a cookery book. Here Gail Paxman develops that simile, exploring six of the ‘key ingredients’ in the Ignatian system, and looking at how they work together to produce the kind of conversion that is the goal of the Exercises themselves. Ignatius, Prayer and the Spiritual Exercises 47–58 Harvey D. Egan What is Ignatian prayer? His Spiritual Diary suggests that Ignatius himself spent long hours in mystical contemplation, yet he forbade his earliest followers to do the same.

  • Of St Cuthbert'
    A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham by Ruth Robson of St Cuthbert' 1. Market Place Welcome to A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham, part of Durham Book Festival, produced by New Writing North, the regional writing development agency for the North of England. Durham Book Festival was established in the 1980s and is one of the country’s first literary festivals. The County and City of Durham have been much written about, being the birthplace, residence, and inspiration for many writers of both fact, fiction, and poetry. Before we delve into stories of scribes, poets, academia, prize-winning authors, political discourse, and folklore passed down through generations, we need to know why the city is here. Durham is a place steeped in history, with evidence of a pre-Roman settlement on the edge of the city at Maiden Castle. Its origins as we know it today start with the arrival of the community of St Cuthbert in the year 995 and the building of the white church at the top of the hill in the centre of the city. This Anglo-Saxon structure was a precursor to today’s cathedral, built by the Normans after the 1066 invasion. It houses both the shrine of St Cuthbert and the tomb of the Venerable Bede, and forms the Durham UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Durham Castle and other buildings, and their setting. The early civic history of Durham is tied to the role of its Bishops, known as the Prince Bishops. The Bishopric of Durham held unique powers in England, as this quote from the steward of Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham from 1284-1311, illustrates: ‘There are two kings in England, namely the Lord King of England, wearing a crown in sign of his regality and the Lord Bishop of Durham wearing a mitre in place of a crown, in sign of his regality in the diocese of Durham.’ The area from the River Tees south of Durham to the River Tweed, which for the most part forms the border between England and Scotland, was semi-independent of England for centuries, ruled in part by the Bishop of Durham and in part by the Earl of Northumberland.

The time of the presentation of the Poenulus at ^ Rome is also imcertain : Hueffner believes that the capture of Sparta ' was a purely Plautine reference to the war with Nabis in 195 b.c. and that the Poenulus appeared in 194 or 193 b.c. The date, however, of the Roman presentation of the Pseudolus is definitely established by the didascalia as 191 b.c.

I. MANUSCRITS 1-50. Introducció El restabliment a Girona d’estudis universitaris i la constitució formal de la Universitat de Girona a fi nals del segle XX ha estat un fet transcendent en la vida de la ciutat. Fa poc, a principis del segle XXI, s’ha produït un altre fet que tindrà conseqüències semblants: la reunió i la gestió en un mateix edifi ci dels arxius i de les biblioteques eclesiàstiques gironines: Arxiu de la Catedral, Arxiu Diocesà, Arxiu de Sant Feliu, Arxius Parroquials, Biblioteca de la Catedral, Biblioteca de Sant Feliu, Biblioteca Diocesana del Seminari de Girona. La nostra afi rmació, només aparentment parcial, no és el fruit de cap encegament. És la conseqüència d’haver pogut constatar que la documentació eclesiàstica gironina és el fi l que guia, acompanya i molt sovint aclareix la tra- jectòria històrica de les comarques que formen un bisbat més que mil·lenari. Durant segles aquesta documentació ha estat conservada en establiments independents i descoordinats. La decisió d’aplegar-la sota un mateix sostre i una mateixa direcció és un fet que marca diverses fi tes. Finalment, l’Església gironina adopta una política sobre el seu patrimoni documental, un criteri de gestió, una projecció cap a la societat. Els quatre arxius eclesiàstics gironins són potents —cal dir-ho?— i la biblioteca diocesana resultant de la juxtaposició de les tres anteriorment esmentades és rica de fons antics; l’accés organitzat a tals fons posa en mans dels investigadors i dels estudiants una massa documental de primer orde, al costat de l’Arxiu Municipal, de l’Arxiu Històric de Girona i de la Biblioteca Carles Rahola de Girona.

    Philippe Lecrivain CHARITY IN UNION OF HEARTS A hermeneutical exploration of the Acquaviva period Précis: A study of severe conflicts among good Jesuits during Fr Aquaviva's generalate offers insights into our own times--not unsimilar in demo- graphics, political tensions, and the struggle to interpret the institute. The first section gives an account of tensions in Spain and in France, including attempts to change the Constitutions and to remove Fr Aquaviva. The second studies Fr Aquaviva's actions and the responses of the Fifth General Congregation. The final section tells of a division concerning interiority and exteriority. Of current 74 experience, then: The Society's place and ministries in the world have changed. In conse- quence, so have our union and our way of being 'friends in the Lord'. he years of Claudio Acquaviva’s generalate, 1581-1615, are very important. At this point the Society was taking on a new look. Its demographic expansion T(from 5,000 to 13,000) was leading to a strengthening of its governmental structures, to a closer definition of its ministries, and to an increased regulation of life within its houses. A veritable refoundation was taking place as a transition was being made—a transition from the ‘first Jesuits’, so well presented by John O’Malley,1 to a generation who saw Ignatius Loyola and Francis Xavier as beati (they were beatified in 1609) rather than as close companions. We too, as this century ends, are approaching a threshold. It is not just our demog- raphy (in 1945 we were 23,000; in 1965 we were 36,000; in 1995 we were again 23,000) that is facing us with transformations.

    379 THE CATHOLIC HENRI IV AND THE PAPACY 1593-1610 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of I MASTER OF ARTS By William Jackson Fling, III, B. A. Denton, Texas August, 1977 I/7 Fling, William J., III, The Catholic Henri IV and the Papacy 1593-1610. Master of Arts (History), August, 1977, 130 pp., bibliography, 40 titles. This study explores Franco-Papal relations, and their effect on the French Church and State, from Henri IV's conver- sion to Roman Catholicism in 1593 until his death in 1610. Because Henri IV's primary concern, even in matters involving the Papacy or the Gallican Church, was to protect his kingdom from Habsburg encroachment, he was willing either to abandon his Protestant allies abroad, or to adopt reform measures, such as the decrees of the Council of Trent, that might weaken his own authority or disturb the peace of his kingdom. This caused repeated conflicts with the Counter-Reformation Popes Clement VIII and Paul V, to whom the primary enemy was always the infidel and the heretic. Nevertheless both sides realized that they needed each other to maintain their independence of Spain. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION ................ .*................. 1 Chapter I.

    Nation, Lineage, and Jesuit Unity in Antonio Possevino’s Memorial to Everard Mercurian (1576) Thomas Cohen Universidad de las Américas, Puebla – México From the time of its founding, the Society of Jesus was unusually open to men of all nations and lineages. The Society retained its inclusive ethos through- out Ignatius’s life and the lives of his two immediate successors, Diego Laínez and Francisco de Borja. This ethos came under threat, however, with the death of Borja. Prejudices that were latent under the first three Generals began to be openly expressed within the Society following the election of Everard Mercu- rian in 1573. It was to combat the disunity that threatened the Society that Anto- nio Possevino (1533-1611) wrote a long memorial to Mercurian in 15761. Possevino was born in Mantua and was almost certainly of Jewish descent2. From 1573 to 1576 he served as secretary to Mercurian, about whom he wrote a laudatory biography3. Possevino’s memorial to Mercurian has no title 1 Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu, Cong. 20/B, ff. 206-212 (hereafter Memorial). The manuscript, an apograph, has not been published. 2 No modern biography of Possevino exists. The most important scholarship on Possevino has been done by Fr. John Patrick DONNELLY, S.J. For an analysis of Possevino’s family back- ground and of some of his principal writings on Jews and New Christians, see J. P. DONNELLY, “Antonio Possevino and Jesuits of Jewish Ancestry,” in Archivum Historicum Societatis Iesu 55 (1986) 3-31. Possevino was an accomplished and prolific writer (best known for his Bibliotheca Selecta [Rome, 1593]), and performed a series of diplomatic missions in the papal service.
