  • Creating Holy People and Places on the Periphery
    Creating Holy People and People Places Holy on theCreating Periphery Creating Holy People and Places on the Periphery A Study of the Emergence of Cults of Native Saints in the Ecclesiastical Provinces of Lund and Uppsala from the Eleventh to the Thirteenth Centuries During the medieval period, the introduction of a new belief system brought profound societal change to Scandinavia. One of the elements of this new religion was the cult of saints. This thesis examines the emergence of new cults of saints native to the region that became the ecclesiastical provinces of Lund and Uppsala in the twelfth century. The study examines theearliest, extant evidence for these cults, in particular that found in liturgical fragments. By analyzing and then comparing the relationship that each native saint’s cult had to the Christianization, the study reveals a mutually beneficial bond between these cults and a newly emerging Christian society.

  • Mia Korpiola
    Marrying Off Sons and Daughters: Attitudes towards the Consent of Parents and Guardians in Early Modern Sweden by Mia Korpiola Introduction Curate Samuel Josephi Lithovius1 of Limingå (Liminka) in Ostrobothnia was one of the six representatives of the clergy of the diocese of Åbo (Turku) at the diet of Stockholm in 1647. At the diet, however, he was accused by his fellow clergymen of having performed an irregular solemnization (på oordentligit wijs - - hadhe sammanwigdt) at the manor of Åhrsta outside the city of Stockholm. By doing this, he had usurped the authority of another priest and ‘confirmed the madness (galenskap) and disorder with which the parties had commenced their marriage’ for a sum of money. By his actions, he had compromised the whole estate (uppålagdt heela ministerio - - een elack notam).2 The couple, Johan Mejer and Dordi, daughter of Jacob Skinnare, had married without the consent of the bride’s father, who was wholly against the union. The priest claimed that he had been told that the father had originally been against the marriage and attempted to force his daughter to wed another man. Lithovius further alleged that according to his information, Jacob Skinnare had later relented, agreeing to the match with Mejer even if refusing to attend the ceremony himself. Samuel Josephi Lithovius was obviously quite aware of the irregularity of the marriage, although he attempted to put the blame on the false information of some of his friends, who had persuaded him to perform the solemnities. It seems, nonetheless, that he had tried to prevaricate by ingenious means, namely by sending a message to Jacob Skinnare that his daughter Dordi was going to be married to Johan Mejer on the following evening and, if the father refused to consent, he ought to keep her at home.

  • The Diplomat and the Pioneer in Jewish- Catholic Relations Prior to Nostra Aetate: Jo Willebrands and Toon Ramselaar
    Journal of Ecumenical Studies, 49:3, Summer 2014 THE DIPLOMAT AND THE PIONEER IN JEWISH- CATHOLIC RELATIONS PRIOR TO NOSTRA AETATE: JO WILLEBRANDS AND TOON RAMSELAAR Marcel J. H. M. Poorthuis PRECIS A combined search of documents in the secret archives of the Vatican and of hith­ erto unexplored Dutch archives sheds new light on the genesis of Nostra aetate, the dec­ laration of Vatican II, mainly on Judaism. Two Dutch Catholics exercised a decisive influence upon the making of this declaration: monsignors Johannes Willebrands and Anton Ramselaar. In 1958 and 1960 Ramselaar organized a meeting with international pioneers in Jewish-Christian relations at the Dutch city of Apeldoorn. Research into Dutch and Vatican archives proves the decisive influence of these meetings upon Nostra aetate. In addition, original documents demonstrate that, for the pioneers, the State of Israel was not just a political affair but also the recognition of the Jewish right to sur­ vive as a people. Later attempts to marginalize this aspect of the Apeldoorn memoran­ dum coincided with the exclusion of the issues of the State of Israel and World War II as too political. Without Willebrands’s ingenious strategic powers that took over Ram- selaar’s network of pioneers, while sticking to traditional theological insights, the decla­ ration would probably never have been promulgated. However, without Ramselaar’s courage, Nostra aetate would not even have been considered a necessity. Introduction At the end of 2014, it will be fifty' years since the declaration Nostra aetate on the non-Christian religions was released at the Second Vatican Council.

  • A Brief History of Medieval Monasticism in Denmark (With Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia)
    religions Article A Brief History of Medieval Monasticism in Denmark (with Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia) Johnny Grandjean Gøgsig Jakobsen Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, University of Copenhagen, 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark; [email protected] Abstract: Monasticism was introduced to Denmark in the 11th century. Throughout the following five centuries, around 140 monastic houses (depending on how to count them) were established within the Kingdom of Denmark, the Duchy of Schleswig, the Principality of Rügen and the Duchy of Estonia. These houses represented twelve different monastic orders. While some houses were only short lived and others abandoned more or less voluntarily after some generations, the bulk of monastic institutions within Denmark and its related provinces was dissolved as part of the Lutheran Reformation from 1525 to 1537. This chapter provides an introduction to medieval monasticism in Denmark, Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia through presentations of each of the involved orders and their history within the Danish realm. In addition, two subchapters focus on the early introduction of monasticism to the region as well as on the dissolution at the time of the Reformation. Along with the historical presentations themselves, the main and most recent scholarly works on the individual orders and matters are listed. Keywords: monasticism; middle ages; Denmark Citation: Jakobsen, Johnny Grandjean Gøgsig. 2021. A Brief For half a millennium, monasticism was a very important feature in Denmark. From History of Medieval Monasticism in around the middle of the 11th century, when the first monastic-like institutions were Denmark (with Schleswig, Rügen and introduced, to the middle of the 16th century, when the last monasteries were dissolved Estonia).

In 1961 the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity (SPCU), delegated five observers to the WCC's third assembly in New Delhi. Then the WCC sent two observers, Dr Nikos Nissiotis and Dr Lukas Vischer, to the four autumn sessions of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). In November 1964, the 2,200 bishops and Pope Paul VI promulgated the Vatican II Decree on Ecumenism. Anticipating this Decree, SPCU and WCC representatives began in April 1964 to consider future RCC-WCC collaboration. They proposed a joint working group (JWG) with a five-year experimental mandate. In January 1965 the WCC Central Committee, meeting in Enugu, Nigeria, adopted the proposal, as did the RC authorities in February, through SPCU president Cardinal Augustin Bea, during his visit to the WCC centre in Geneva. The main points of the original mandate of the JWG still function: 1. The JWG has no authority in itself, but is a consultative forum. It initiates, evaluates and sustains collaboration between the WCC and the RCC, and reports to the competent authorities: the WCC Assembly and Central Committee, and the Pontifical Council (prior to 1988 the Secretariat) for Promoting Christian Unity (PCPCU).

  • Herraväldet I Helgedomen: Uppsala Domkyrkas Förvaltning Cirka 1530-1860
    Herraväldet i helgedomen Vilka bestämde över Uppsala domkyrka? Under medel- tiden var svaret enkelt: domkyrkan styrdes av ärke- biskopen och domkapitlet. Efter reformationen fanns fler kandidater. Kungen var den lutherska statskyrkans överhuvud. Uppsala domkyrka blev en rikshelgedom och en viktig plats för statshändelser. Den rika adelns grav- kor och påkostade gåvor påverkade starkt domkyrkans interiör. Efter reformationen blev Uppsala domkyrka också stadens församlingskyrka. Men församlingsinfly- tandet påverkades av Uppsalas egenartiga sociala och lokalpolitiska liv. Akademikerna och borgarna hade mycket svårt att samarbeta i de flesta frågor.
