It was based on his conviction that the Church was founded by God and entrusted with the task of embracing all mankind in a single society in which divine will is the only law; that, in his capacity as a divine institution, he is supreme over all human structures, especially the secular state; and that the pope, in his role as head of the Church under the petrine commission, is the vice-regent of God on earth, so that disobedience to him implies disobedience to God: or, in other words, a defection from Christianity.

  • The Penalty of a Life of Prayer and Penance According to Sacramentorum Sanctitatis Tutela and the Essential Norms
    Biuletyn Stowarzyszenia Absolwentów i Przyjaciół Wydziału Prawa Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego t. XIV, 16 (1) 2019, s. 199-213 https://doi.org/10.32084/sawp.2019.14.1-13 Grzegorz Podwysocki THE PENALTY OF A LIFE OF PRAYER AND PENANCE ACCORDING TO SACRAMENTORUM SANCTITATIS TUTELA AND THE ESSENTIAL NORMS In dealing with offending members of the clergy, ecclesiastical authorities are often faced with a dilemma: whether to completely sever the ties with the offending cleric and therefore avoid any further civil liability for his actions or whether according to the principles of Christian mercy and forgiveness, to seek a way of satisfying both. When the recent clerical sex abuse of minors by members of the clergy of unprecedented proportions erupted in 2002, the Church found itself challenged to cope with the aftermath. 1. The context of the modern understanding of the penalty Within the broader context of the Catholic Church in the United States, the American bishops were learning of the unfortunate and heinous sexual abuse of minors by members of the clergy. Their early responses to the crisis have been fairly well documented in the Bishops’ Committee Report, “Brief History: Handling Child Sexual Abuse Claims”1. The 1917 Code of Canon Law2, promulgated by Pope Benedict XV, contained a number of canonical delicts that were reserved to the competence of the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office (can. 1555).

  • Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London
    Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London Christine Winter Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London Royal Holloway, University of London, 2012 2 Declaration I, Christine Winter, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 3 Abstract In the history of crime and punishment the prisons of medieval London have generally been overlooked. This may have been because none of the prison records have survived for this period, yet there is enough information in civic and royal documents, and through archaeological evidence, to allow a reassessment of London’s prisons in the later middle ages. This thesis begins with an analysis of the purpose of imprisonment, which was not merely custodial and was undoubtedly punitive in the medieval period. Having established that incarceration was employed for a variety of purposes the physicality of prison buildings and the conditions in which prisoners were kept are considered. This research suggests that the periodic complaints that London’s medieval prisons, particularly Newgate, were ‘foul’ with ‘noxious air’ were the result of external, rather than internal, factors. Using both civic and royal sources the management of prisons and the abuses inflicted by some keepers have been analysed. This has revealed that there were very few differences in the way civic and royal prisons were administered; however, there were distinct advantages to being either the keeper or a prisoner of the Fleet prison. Because incarceration was not the only penalty available in the enforcement of law and order, this thesis also considers the offences that constituted a misdemeanour and the various punishments employed by the authorities.

  • Policy on Sexual Misconduct on the Part of the Church Personnel of the Archdiocese of San Antonio (Revised October 2003)
    Policy on Sexual Misconduct on the Part of the Church Personnel of the Archdiocese of San Antonio (Revised October 2003) The Catholic Church expects its personnel to live chaste and moral lives, respecting in every way the gift of sexuality. Inappropriate sexual activity of any type abuses the call to ministry, the power and authority of the pastoral role of all who work for and serve the people of God. Thus, sexual misconduct by church personnel of the Archdiocese of San Antonio is contrary to Christian morals, canon law and in some cases civil law. It is obviously outside the scope of the duties of church ministry and employment for all personnel of the Archdiocese, its parishes, schools and other agencies, and will not under any circumstances be tolerated. It is imperative that all personnel of the Archdiocese, its parishes, schools and other agencies comply with all applicable church, federal, state, and local laws regarding incidents of actual, alleged or suspected sexual misconduct, and with the procedures outlined in this document. Sexual abuse is a transgression of canon, civil, and criminal law. A violation of the criminal law of the State of Texas can subject the perpetrator to a prison sentence and/or fine. An act of sexual abuse can also be the basis for a civil suit for monetary damages. To assist in the implementation of this policy, the Archbishop has established a Crisis Intervention Committee, which will act immediately on any complaint to the Archdiocese of sexual misconduct on the part of church personnel. The Archdiocese has also established a Review Board to review policies and procedures.

  • SACRAMENTORUM SANCTITATIS TUTELA English
    SACRAMENTORUM SANCTITATIS TUTELA POPE JOHN PAUL II APOSTOLIC LETTER GIVEN MOTU PROPRIO by which are promulgated Norms concerning the more grave delicts reserved to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith The Safeguarding of the Sanctity of the Sacraments, especially the Most Holy Eucharist and Penance, and the keeping of the faithful, called to communion with the Lord, in their observance of the sixth commandment of the Decalogue, demand that the Church itself, in her pastoral solicitude, intervene to avert dangers of violation, so as to provide for the salvation of souls “which must always be the supreme law in the Church” (Codex Iuris Canonici, can. 1752). Indeed, Our Predecessors already provided for the sanctity of the sacraments, especially penance, through appropriate Apostolic Constitutions such as the Constitution Sacramentum Poenitentiae, of Pope Benedict XIV, issued June 1, 1741;[1] the same goal was likewise pursued by a number of canons of the Codex Iuris Canonici, promulgated in 1917 with their fontes by which canonical sanctions had been established against delicts of this kind.[2] In more recent times, in order to avert these and connected delicts, the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office, through the Instruction Crimen sollicitationis, addressed to all Patriarchs, Archbishops, Bishops, and other local Ordinaries “even of an Oriental Rite” on March 16, 1962, established a manner of proceeding in such cases, inasmuch as judicial competence had been attributed exclusively to it, which competence could be exercised either administratively or through a judicial process. It is to be kept in mind that an Instruction of this kind had the force of law since the Supreme Pontiff, according to the norm of can.

  • Faculties of the Diocese of GF-B/Request for Permission
    CANONICAL FACULTIES Faculties of Pastors Diocese of Great Falls-Billings FACULTIES OF PASTORS 1. a. To baptize an adult or admit a baptized adult into full communion with the Catholic church. (The law itself grants the additional faculty to confirm the candidate during these rites.) b. To admit into full communion and to confirm an adult who has been baptized in the Latin Catholic church but was brought up in or adhered to a non-Catholic religion. c. To administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to a baptized adult Latin Catholic who has completed the various stages of the catechumenate according to the rite of the catechumenate approved by the U.S. Bishops. d. To mandate another priest to perform these rites in individual cases. (Any priest so delegated has the faculty by the law itself to confirm the candidate during the rites of admission.) The law states that “the baptism of adults, at least those who have completed their fourteenth year, is to be referred to the bishop, so that he himself may confer it if he judges this appropriate”. Furthermore, “the provisions of the canons on adult baptism apply to all those who, being no longer infants, have reached the age of reason; on the completion of the seventh year, the minor is presumed to have the use of reason" (Canon 863, 852§1, 97§2). An adult is to be admitted to the catechumenate. This faculty permits pastors to baptize or receive those individuals above the age of seven. Converts from Orthodox churches may not be received without permission from the Holy See.

Her concerns seemed less arcane, her presentation more appealingly worked out; as Guy Scarpetta put it in he Nouvel Observateur (May 19, 1980), she now intro- duced into "theoretical rigor an effective measure of seduction." Actually, no sudden change has taken place: the features that are noticeable in Powers of Horror were already in evidence in several earlier essays, some of which have been translated in Desire in Language (Columbia University Press, 1980).

  • Canon Law on Child Sexual Abuse Through the Ages
    CANON LAW ON CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE THROUGH THE AGES Kieran Tapsell1 In 2014 two senior members of the Marist and Christian Brothers in Australia told Justice McLellan, the Chair of the Child Sexual Abuse Royal Commission that in the 1980s the brothers would not have regarded touching a student’s genitals as a crime but only a “moral failure”.2 McLellan asked Br Shanahan. Q. Can you explain how the Orders would have brought themselves intellectually to that position, describing it only as a moral failure and not a criminal offence? How would they have arrived at that position? A. No, I can't explain it.3 This paper is an attempt to explain it: how bishops, priests and religious all over the world came to regard the sexual abuse of children, not as crimes punishable by the State, but as moral failures that should be dealt with by treatment, and by dismissal from the priesthood or religious life only as a last resort.4 The explanation lies in a gradual but radical change of culture within the Catholic Church that took place in the latter part of the 19th century that can be traced through changes in canon law. The Concepts of “Canon Law” and “Child Sexual Abuse” The title of this paper, Canon Law on Sexual Abuse through the Ages, is in some senses anachronistic. Despite claims that it is the oldest continuing legal system in the Western world, canon law, in the sense of a volume of laws that applied to the whole Church, only became a reality around 1140 CE when an Italian monk, Gratian compiled and tried to harmonize canon law up until that time.

  • Accent Features and Idiodictionaries
    PhD Dissertation Accent Features and Idiodictionaries: On Improving Accuracy for Accented Speakers in ASR Michael Tjalve Department of Phonetics and Linguistics University College London March 2007 Declaration I, Michael Tjalve, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Copyright The copyright of this thesis rests with the author and no quotation from it or information derived from it may be published without the prior written consent of the author. 2007 Michael Tjalve ii ABSTRACT One of the most widespread approaches to dealing with the problem of accent variation in ASR has been to choose the most appropriate pronunciation dictionary for the speaker from a predefined set of dictionaries. This approach is weak in two ways: firstly that accent types are more numerous and more variable than can be captured in a few dictionaries, even if the knowledge were available to create them; and secondly, accents vary in the composition and phonotactics of the phone inventory not just in which phones are used in which word. In this work, we identify not the speaker's accent, but accent features which allow us to predict by rule their likely pronunciation of all words in the dictionary. Any given speaker is associated with a set of accent features, but it is not a requirement that those features constitute a known accent. We show that by building a pronunciation dictionary for an individual, an idiodictionary , recognition accuracy can be improved over a system using standard accent dictionaries.
