My name is Tabitha Molstre and I am very happy to be your Crisis Director. This year’s Triple JCC is going to be packed with twists, and hopefully, a lot of delegate driven material. In my experience, nothing is more satisfying than seeing something you’ve done in your crisis notes show up in a Crisis Update, so I look forward to incorporating delegate achievements, while (of course) keeping identities confidential. I encourage you all to be as creative as possible and to utilize every ounce of your power to achieve your ends, the Machiavellian way. Trouble is brewing in the Empire and the Papacy, and it will be vital for each committee to work together amongst themselves in order to solve each new problem and to push themselves to the top. Now for a little about me: I am a third-year student here at UCSD, majoring in Political Science: Public Law and minoring in Writing. I have traveled to several collegiate MUN competitions in places like Sacramento and LA, and staffed a few previous TritonMUNs as well, though my experience in MUN is largely Crisis Committee driven rather than GA. If any of you have any questions about anything prior to committee, feel free to shoot me an email, and if any questions pop up during committee, we can talk as well. If the question isn’t about this specific committee or Model UN, but rather college life at UCSD, writing, or anything else, feel free to ask anyway! I admire all creative outpourings, and am excited to see what you will all come up with for solutions and even new problems to throw into others’ way. As such, to maximize the possible ways that committee can go, I highly encourage each of you to do some independent research, and once in committee, to speak up and participate as much as possible, while keeping your backroom game strong. I look forward to a fun and eventful committee! Sincerely, Tabitha Molstre [email protected] TritonMUN XX Crisis Director 3 4 CHARACTER LIST: HOLY ROMAN IMPERIAL DIET Degenhart Schlosskirche (fictional): Degenhart is young, at 23, but highly intelligent, having earned his position as treasurer to Frederick the Wise from a long-time family friend of the elector after challenging the former treasurer’s actions regarding the Saxon economy. Degenhart comes from a mercantile family, and used this connection to help pull Saxony from the brink of economic collapse thereby earning him not only the respect of Frederick, but gratitude from the people as well. Frederick has sent him to the Diet as his eyes and ears, as well as to protect himself from the ire of the pro-Catholic Electors. He hopes that Degenhart can provide a sense of reason within the committee. Albert of Prussia: At 31, Albert is Duke of Prussia and 37th Grandmaster of the Teutonic Knights, a religious order dedicated to helping Christians on their pilgrimages, though mainly in a mercenary capacity. His sympathies, however, with the Lutheran movement have led to rocky relationships within the movement he is at the head of, and he will have to move carefully in order to retain his position in the order. His uncle is King Sigismund I of Poland, and Albert’s lands remain relatively wealthy, despite his harsh rule of the peasantry. Philip I, Landgrave of Hesse: Philip took control of his lands, the Estates of Hesse, at only 14, ending the struggles for authority that surrounded his mother’s regency, as his father had died when Philip was only five years old. Despite little education for his station, he rapidly adapted to his role, and regained much of the power lost by his mother in her regency, proving himself a capable statesman. He was present at the Diet of Worms, witnessing Luther’s testimony, and found himself admiring the revolutionary. 5 John, Elector of Saxony: John is of the House of Wettin, a long-standing dynasty that produced Kings, Prince-electors, and many other impressive titles. His brother is Frederick the Wise, who is infamous for his protection of Martin Luther after the events of the Diet of Worms. While Frederick is currently the true Elector of Saxony, he has sent his brother to act in his stead, and John’s actions therefore will carry the authority of an elector of the Holy Roman Empire. John not only has Lutheran sympathies, but has fully converted to Lutheranism, and is a big supporter of Luther himself. As such, the two remain in close contact. George, Duke of Saxony: Contrary to the Elector of Saxony, George has been reluctant to convert to Lutheranism, seeing it as a betrayal of the Church. In his past, he has sold much of his lands to the Emperor Charles V, but recently took new lands of het Bildt, where his ability as a ruler has been affirmed. He rules with order, stomping down crime, but at the cost of freedom, and at times ignores the rights of certain cities’ sovereignty. In his Duchy, George expels those with anti- catholic beliefs, a light punishment when compared to the actions of other rulers and the punishment of those who took things a step further and identified as Protestant. He is a known member of the Order of the Golden Fleece. Joachim I Nestor, Elector of Brandenburg: Joachim is married to King John of Denmark’s daughter Elizabeth, and enjoys a close relationship with the leader. Unlike Frederick the Wise, Joachim embraced the sale of indulgences within his territory, and condemns Luther and the Protestants. However, despite his opposition to the Protestants, his relationship with Emperor Charles V is rocky at best, him having been a swing vote in the election of 1519. He is good friends with the King of France, however, who he met during the same election. Albert of Brandenburg, Elector of Mainz: Albert of Brandenburg is a Cardinal, Archbishop, and Elector of Mainz. He was prominent in the sale of indulgences and was one of the main motivators that caused Luther to post his 95 Theses. He is very close with Johann Tetzel and, strangely, Ulrich von Hutten, a Luther 6 supporter. He helped to assure Charles V’s rise to emperorship in the 1519 election, and is a staunch supporter of Catholicism, unsurprising considering his position within the Papacy. Margaret of Münsterberg: Margaret is Duchess of Anhault, the wife of Prince Ernest I, rules the duchy as regent in place of her underage sons. A deeply religious supporter of the Church, she is against the Reformation, and has formed the League of Dessau to fight their spread in the Holy Roman Empire. However, her sons remain sympathetic to the Lutheran cause. Eric I, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg: Eric rules over half of his father’s lands (the Principalities of Calenberg and Gottingen), the other half having been given to his brother Henry. An experienced campaigner, Eric’s skills as a general will be sorely needed if armed conflict breaks out. In fact, during the Bavarian- Landhut war, Eric personally saved Emperor Maximilian I’s life, endearing him to the man and granting him a knighthood. However, Eric’s attention is divided, as he currently has feuds going on that limit his ability to act with as much force as he could if the Hildesheim Diocesan Feud were resolved. Albrecht Dürer: A famous artist and influencer of the German Renaissance, Albrecht was the patron of the Holy Roman Emperor for many years. While other members of this committee have power over territories, Albrecht has power over the hearts and minds of the people, as the lack of literacy increases the value of his art. While he has sympathies towards Protestants, the violence that has begun to break out around the Reformation has caused him to distance himself from the movement, and he remains dear to Charles V’s court. Not only does he have influence within the educated peoples of Germany, but he also has a heavy presence among other painters, as many flock to the Empire to learn from him. Isabel Rembrandt (fictional): Rembrandt has been sent as the representative of Ferdinand I, the younger brother of Emperor Charles V, who is currently at the head of the Austrian government and is much 7 more involved in the lives of the German people and ruling class than his brother. Rembrandt acts as the liaison to the emperor’s brother, and has been entrusted with her own power as well. Born to a relatively poor family, Rembrandt often would wander the streets of Alcala de Henares, Spain, where she picked up many skills and connections useful when dealing with the criminal underworld. She uses those connections to better assist her childhood friend, Ferdinand, as well as herself. 8 CHARACTER LIST: THE LUTHERAN MOVEMENT Andreas Karlstadt: Karlstadt is a close friend of Martin Luther, but often comes into conflict with him, disagreeing on certain theological principles and leaning more towards the Anabaptists than the Lutherans. Karlstadt takes a very balanced point of view and has been reluctant to define himself as any one denomination of Protestant, but remains firm in his allegiance to the cause. Due to his travels, Karlstadt is fluent in many languages, including German, French, and Italian.

  • Divine Causality and Created Freedom: a Thomistic Personalist View
    Nova et Vetera, English Edition, Vol. 14, No. 3 (2016): 919–963 919 Divine Causality and Created Freedom: A Thomistic Personalist View Mark K. Spencer University of St. Thomas Saint Paul, Minnesota Thomas Aquinas argues that God causes all beings other than himself and moves all of them to all their acts, including causing us and moving us to our free acts.1 This claim is connected to the set of issues surrounding the relation between created freedom and divine providence, predestination, and grace. A strong defender of the free- dom of created persons, such as a Thomistic personalist, might reject this aspect of Aquinas’s account and contend that to be free is to be “lord of one’s acts” (dominus sui actus).2 By this, the personalist would understand that the created free person is the ultimate determinant3 of whether he or she acts (I refer to this, following the Thomistic tradition, as the “exercise” of the act) and of what he or she does in those acts (the “content” or “specification” of the act). Throughout this article, I shall refer to the last sentence as the “personalist thesis” 1 Aquinas, Expositio libri Peryermeneias (hereafter, In Ph) I, lec. 14; Quaestiones disputatae de malo (hereafter, DM), q. 3, aa. 1–2; q. 6, a. un.; Quaestiones disputatae de potentia Dei (hereafter, DP), q. 3, aa. 5 and 7; Summa contra gentiles (hereafter, SCG) III, chs. 65 and 67; Summa Theologiae (hereafter, ST) I, q. 22, a. 2, ad 2; q. 104, a. 1; q. 105, aa. 4–5; I-II, q.

  • Philip Melanchthon in the Writings of His Polish Contemporaries
    ODRODZENIE I REFORMACJA W POLSCE ■ SI 2017 ■ PL ISSN 0029-8514 Janusz Tazbir Philip Melanchthon in the Writings of his Polish Contemporaries Over thirty years ago Oskar Bartel, a distinguished scholar of the history of the Polish Reformation, bemoaned how little was known about the relations between preceptor Germaniae and the movement. In an article about the familiarity with Melanchthon, both as person and his oeuvre, in Poland, Bartel wrote: “wir besitzen einige Werke, meist Broschüren über Luther, Calvin, sogar Hus und Zwingli, aber ich habe keine über Melanchton gefunden”.1 Bartel’s article provided a recapitulation, if somewhat incomplete, of the state of research at the time, and essentially stopped at the death of the Reformer. There- fore, in this study I would like to point to the results of the last thirty years of research, on the one hand, and highlight the post-mortem impact of Melanchthon’s writings and the reflection of his person in the memories of the next generations, on the other. The new information about the contacts Melanchthon had with Poland that has come to light since the 1960s is scattered across a number of articles or monographs; there is to date no separate study devoted to the German Reformer. Only a handful of contributions have been published. No wonder therefore that twenty years after the publication of Bartel’s article, Roman Nir begins his study of corre- spondence between Melanchthon and Krzycki thus: “Relatively little 1 O.

Gabrielli All rights reserved 2014 iii ABSTRACT SOLIDARITY MEDIATION IN THE FRENCH STREAM OF MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST THEOLOGY Name: Gabrielli, Timothy R. University of Dayton Advisor: William L. Portier, Ph.D. In its analysis of mystical body of Christ theology in the twentieth century, this dissertation identifies three major streams of mystical body theology operative in the early part of the century: the Roman, the German-Romantic, and the French-Social- Liturgical. Delineating these three streams of mystical body theology sheds light on the diversity of scholarly positions concerning the heritage of mystical body theology, on its mid twentieth-century recession, as well as on Pope Pius XII’s 1943 encyclical, Mystici Corporis Christi, which enshrined “mystical body of Christ” in Catholic magisterial teaching. Further, it links the work of Virgil Michel and Louis-Marie Chauvet, two scholars remote from each other on several fronts, in the long, winding French stream.

  • Johann Tetzel in Order to Pay for Expanding His Authority to the Electorate of Mainz
    THE IMAGE OF A FRACTURED CHURCH AT 500 YEARS CURATED BY DR. ARMIN SIEDLECKI FEB 24 - JULY 7, 2017 THE IMAGE OF A FRACTURED CHURCH AT 500 YEARS Five hundred years ago, on October 31, 1517, Martin Luther published his Ninety-Five Theses, a series of statements and proposals about the power of indulgences and the nature of repentance, forgiveness and salvation. Originally intended for academic debate, the document quickly gained popularity, garnering praise and condemnation alike, and is generally seen as the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. This exhibit presents the context of Martin Luther’s Theses, the role of indulgences in sixteenth century religious life and the use of disputations in theological education. Shown also are the early responses to Luther’s theses by both his supporters and his opponents, the impact of Luther’s Reformation, including the iconic legacy of Luther’s actions as well as current attempts by Catholics and Protestants to find common ground. Case 1: Indulgences In Catholic teaching, indulgences do not effect the forgiveness of sins but rather serve to reduce the punishment for sins that have already been forgiven. The sale of indulgences was initially intended to defray the cost of building the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome and was understood as a work of charity, because it provided monetary support for the church. Problems arose when Albert of Brandenburg – a cardinal and archbishop of Magdeburg – began selling indulgences aggressively with the help of Johann Tetzel in order to pay for expanding his authority to the Electorate of Mainz. 2 Albert of Brandenburg, Archbishop of Mainz Unused Indulgence (Leipzig: Melchior Lotter, 1515?) 1 sheet ; 30.2 x 21 cm.

  • The Lutheran Church – the Reformation
    A Study of Denominations 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV 1900) - 33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. The Lutheran Church – The Reformation • The reformation began almost simultaneously on three different fronts. (Germany, England & Switzerland) • The Lutheran Church was the first of the many Protestant churches formed out of the protest against Catholicism during the Reformation Movement. Protestant Reformer – Martin Luther • 1517: Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses (challenges to Catholic teaching) usually marks the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. • Those involved in the reformation did not intend to start a new church, but… – Reformation of the Catholic church • Born – Nov 10th, 1483 (1546) • Eisleben, Saxony (Germany) • Considered the “father of the reformation” • Did not want his name used to describe his teaching or followers. The Lutheran Church – The Reformation • Reformation – Does not suggest overthrow but changing an existing order enough to correct its faults. • “Protestant” – (originally) any of the German princes who protested against the decision of the Diet of Speyer in 1529, which had denounced the Reformation. • Protestant Reformation – Movement originally calling for reform of the doctrines, preaching, and rites of the Catholic Church, ignited by the work of Martin Luther, and which resulted in the secession of many churches from the Catholic Church. Protestant Reformer – Martin Luther • Luther’s ExperienCes – 1501 – Entered University of Erfurt preparing to practice law – 1505 – Received his Masters degree & also decides to change direction and enter the Augustinian monastery at Erfurt • He later attributed his decision to an event: on 2 July 1505, he was on horseback during a thunderstorm and a lightning bolt struck near him as he was returning to university after a trip home.
