Programs and courses: The University reserves the right to limit enrolment in any program. Students should be aware that enrolment in many programs is limited and that students who are admitted to programs at King’s/Dalhousie are normally required to pay deposits on university fees to confirm their acceptance of offers of admission. These deposits may be either non-refundable or refundable in part, depending on the program in question. While the University will make every reasonable effort to offer courses as required within programs, prospective students should note that admission to a degree or other program does not guarantee admission to any given course. However, no student in a graduating year may be excluded from a course required by that student to meet degree requirements because of lack of space. (This rule does not apply to elective courses or to preferred sections of courses). Students should select optional courses early in order to ensure that courses are taken at the most appropriate time within their schedule. In some fields of study, admission to upper level courses may require more than minimal standing in prerequisite courses.

  • Catholic Working Group After Its Meeting in Kyiv (Ukraine) in November 2009—On Interpreting Vatican I1
    Appendix Communique of Saint Irenaeus Joint Orthodox- Catholic Working Group after Its Meeting in Kyiv (Ukraine) in November 2009—on Interpreting Vatican I1 The Saint Irenaeus Joint Orthodox-Catholic Working Group met from 4th to 8th November 2009 for its sixth session in Kiev at the invitation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate). During a meeting with His Beatitude Metropolitan Volodymyr of Kiev and all Ukraine the members of the group expressed their deep gratitude for the hospitality and the possibility to meet in the Monastery of the Caves. The Saint Irenaeus Joint Orthodox-Catholic Working Group consists of 26 theologians, 13 Orthodox and 13 Catholic from different European countries and the USA. It was founded in Paderborn (Germany) in 2004 and has held meetings in Athens (Greece), Chevetogne (Belgium), Belgrade (Serbia) and Vienna (Austria). The theme of the Working Group’s sixth session was “The First Vatican Council—its historical context and the meaning of its definitions”. It continued the series of discussions examining the doctrine of primacy in the context of the concrete exercise of primacy. The results of the common studies were formulated in the following theses: 1. The definitions of the first Vatican Council can only be understood rightly if one takes into account their historical context, which had a strong influence on the formulation of the dogmas of the universal jurisdiction and the infallibility of the pope. The Catholic Church in Western Europe in the second half of the 19th century found itself confronted by three challenges: an ecclesiological challenge expressed primarily in Gallicanism, a political challenge from the 166 APPENDIX increasing state control of the Church, and an intellectual challenge from developments in modern science.

Philip Girard* "His whole life was one of continual warfare": John Thomas Bulmer, Lawyer, Librarian and Social Reformer1 On a clear cold day in January, 1899 a ship entered Halifax harbour with a rather unusual cargo. Some 5,000 Doukhobours fleeing persecution in Czarist Russia made a brief stop in the port before proceeding to their ultimate destination in the Canadian West. In spite of the brevity of their stay, a number of Haligonians boarded the vessel to express their good wishes. A lawyer deputed by a workmen's association to address the throng spoke through an interpreter, but his speech did not contain the clichs usually retailed on such occasions. You bring to Canada something more needed in this country than new immigrants - men who will stand by their principles no matter how much suffering it costs them.

    ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF NEOPLATONISM IN FRANCE : A BRIEF PHILOSOPHICAL HISTORY by Wayne J. Hankey in Levinas and the Greek Heritage, by Jean-Marc Narbonne (pages 1-96), followed by One Hundred Years of Neoplatonism in France: A Brief Philosophical History, by Wayne Hankey (pages 97-248), Studies in Philosophical Theology (Leuven/Paris/Dudley, MA: Peeters, 2006) ISBN-10 90-429-1766-0 & ISBN-13 9789042917668. 2 Preface to the English Edition, Acknowledgements, and Dedication This essay has its origins more than twenty-five years ago, when I was working on what would become my God in Himself , a study of Aquinas’ doctrine of God. I desired to understand the reasons for a reversal I was discovering, one which enabled my particular treatment of St Thomas. It had become apparent to me that the “Aristotelian-Thomist philosophy” had largely given way within the French Catholic Church to more Platonic forms of philosophy, theology, and spirituality and that Aquinas had now been relocated within these. My quest spanning decades has been assisted by many who have passed, we may hope, to a far better reward than words of mine can bestow. I remember them all with joy and gratitude, but a memorial of one must be erected here: the sine qua non of my life in Paris was the never failing hospitality, friendship, learning, and the enthusiasm for the inquiry of which this book is the fruit of Bruno Charles Neveu. That he died while Cent ans was in press and was not able to see it added to my sorrow at his departure, a grief shared by the enormous flock of the scholars whom he supported and promoted so generously.
