Mostrom All rights reserved 2018 iii ABSTRACT YVES CONGAR’S THEOLOGY OF LAITY AND MINISTRIES AND ITS THEOLOGICAL RECEPTION IN THE UNITED STATES Name: Mostrom, Alan D. University of Dayton Advisor: William L. Portier, Ph.D. Yves Congar’s theology of the laity and ministries is unified on the basis of his adaptation of Christ’s triplex munera to the laity and his specification of ministry as one aspect of the laity’s participation in Christ’s triplex munera. The seminal insight of Congar’s adaptation of the triplex munera is illumined by situating his work within his historical and ecclesiological context. The U.S. reception of Congar’s work on the laity and ministries, however, evinces that Congar’s principle insight has received a mixed reception by Catholic theologians in the United States due to their own historical context as well as their specific constructive theological concerns over the laity’s secularity, or the priority given to lay ministry over the notion of a laity.

A Cult Administration was founded and became not only a powerful organization to control and finance religions in France, in particular, Catholicism but also an important political medium used by the various political régimes which followed one another in France during the 19th century (The First Empire (1804-1815), the Restoration (Louis XVIII and Charles X), 1815-1830, the Monarchy of July (Louis-Philippe) 1830-1848, the Second Empire (Napoléon III) 1852-1870 and the IIIrd Republic which starts in 1870).

  • The Vatican Secret Archives
    The Vatican Secret Archives The Vatican Secret Archives, recognized as the most notable and most impor- tant archives in the world, are distinguished by the abundance and variety of their collections (mostly constituting complete and independent unities) which have gradually been added from the seventeenth century onward when the in- stitution was established to become the central archives of the Church. A large part of their contents long predate the beginning of the Archives, in many cases by several centuries during which time material was handled in different ways, often complicated and not always clear. Even more than the time ele- ment, the geographical extent of these Archives makes them complex. Unlike other collections, they have a universal character, for they are the archives of the Catholic Church. Although now in great part open for consultation by students, the Archives have kept the official title of "Secret", a title formerly given to sovereigns' archives which were considered as private and only to be used for purposes of State or of government, apart from the rare occasions when access permission was given to scholars. Even after being opened for consultation, the Vatican Archives cannot be called public. The Pope not only owns them but retains their management and direction, and it is only by his concession that students are admitted (Regulations of the Vatican Archives, arts. 1 and 2). To understand their nature and their purpose better, we may recall that ar- chives are an organized collection of documents emanating from or received by a corporate body in the course of its activities.

Ключові слова: Папа, Пій XII, Еудженіо Марія Джузеппе Джованні Пачеллі, кур’єр Білосток It should be noted that the issue was taken in unparsed scientific field and the source research was carried out on the basis of modern historical descrip- tions of Pius XII. The subject was raised by: P. Blet, K. Deschner, P. Hauser, S. Peeking, J. Kelly, K. Panus, �. �ieliński, J. Cornwell. The editorial office of the «Courier Białystok»1 was located in Białystok2.

  • Flags of the Pope's Swiss Guard Since 1798 Emil Dreyer
    Page 427 Emil Dreyer: Flags of the Pope’s Swiss Guard since 1798 Abstract: A chronological history of the flags of the Pope's Swiss Guard since the establishment of the Roman Republic in 1798 until today is presented and richly illustrated. Up to the first half of the 19th century only colour drawings can he used as a pictorial testimony of the guard’s flags, since no original flag from before that time is known to have survived. The flags used to he striped in the Medici livery colours blue, red and yellow and had the Pope's and the commander's arms painted on them. When a Pope or commander changed, the new arms were painted covering the old ones, so the flag fabric was rarely made new. A new flag design by Robert Diirrer with a white cross throughout was accepted in 1913 and blessed by Pope Pius X on 5 May 1914. Changes of a Pope and/or commander were now reflected on the flag by cutting out the old personal emblems and replacing them bv the new ones, the basic design remaining unchanged, hut in the course of the 20th century flags were made completely new more often. Original flag photographs document the history of the guard’s flags since the middle of the 19th century until present times with the flag under Pope Benedict XVI and commander Elmar Mdder. In a second part of this work the various flags of the veteran ’s association of the Pope’s Swiss Guard, founded in 1921, are presented.

  • Vestments Are More Than Just Clothes for the Pope Sunday, April 13, 2008 by DAVID GIBSON
    Vestments are more than just clothes for the pope Sunday, April 13, 2008 BY DAVID GIBSON During Pope Benedict XVI's visit this week, the first since his election three years ago, Catholics will listen intently to what he says, and how he says it, all in hopes of figuring out if Joseph Ratzinger has indeed become a kindly German shepherd or whether he remains God's Rottweiler, one of the many monikers he earned during a long tenure as the Vatican's doctrinal watchdog. Yet as important as Benedict's words will be in introducing the pope to an American audience that knows little about him, it may be just as important to check out what he's wearing. No, not the red Prada shoes that set tongues wag ging early on in his pontificate. (Besides, the designer kicks were apparently knockoffs by the papal cobbler.) Of greater import than Benedict's shoes or his sunglasses (rumored to be Serengetis by Bushnell) will be his choice of liturgical vestments and other papal accouterments, choices that speak volumes not only about his personal tastes but also about his vision of the church's future and its past. With increasing regularity, Benedict has been reintroducing elaborate lace garments and monarchical regalia that have not been seen around Rome in decades, even centuries. He has presided at mass using the wide cope (a cape so ample it is held up by two attendants) and high mitre of Pius IX, a 19th-century pope known for his dim views of the modern world, and on Ash Wednesday he wore a chasuble modeled on one worn by Paul V, a Borghese pope of the 17th century remembered for censuring Galileo.

  • The Burial-Place of Archbishop Courtenay, an Impression Fully Confirmed by the Ones Immediately Following It, Which Entries Are Here Given in Their Proper Sequence:—
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 23 1898 THE BURIAL-PLACE OF ARCHBISHOP COTJETENAY. BY M. BEAZELETj F.R.G.S. was Archbishop Courtenay buried ? Was it at Canter- bury, or at Maidstone P Was his dying wish tbat bis body might be laid to rest at bis Collegiate Obureb of All Saints' complied with 9 or was this wish overruled by order of Richard II., and his remains brought to Christ Church and interred in the Trinity Chapel ? Which is the Tomb, and which the Cenotaph ?—the beautiful alabaster monument at the feet of the Black Prince? or the altar-slab of Bethersden marble at All Saints', with its vacant cell, which once contained a fine memorial brass ? Is the claim that All Saints' contains the remains of the Archbishop "a fond thing vainly invented" by the Maidstone people ? or are they, on the contrary, justified in holding that Canterbury's claim to the same simply originated in the pride and vanity of the monks of Christ Church ? These are questions which have been raised for the last three hundred years, while the rival claims of Canterbury and Maidstone to possess the ashes of the Archbishop have each found support from the ablest antiquaries; and it is not a little remarkable that opinion on such an important subject should so long have varied among those best able to judge, while all the time means were at hand to settle the point beyond the possibility of doubt. But although so many who wrote on the matter have differed in their views of it, several of them have pronounced their opinions in a half-hearted way; while some have attempted to shroud theirs in a kind of Delphic utter- ance, so that their readers should be left in a state of uncertainty as to what was really intended to be conveyed.
