Address of the Abbot Primate to the Holy Father at the Audience of 8 September 2016
Address of the Abbot Primate to the Holy Father at the Audience of 8 September 2016 Holy Father, Warm greetings and sincere thanks to you for our joy in welcoming us today, we abbots and conventual priors together with representatives of the Benedictines from throughout the world. We also have with us guests from the Eastern Churches and an Anglican representative who are very close to our hearts. Every four years, the superiors meet in Rome for the Congress of Abbots. Among other things, we discuss the current situation of our monasteries, the formation of young people, continuing education, and the situation of our Athenaeum and College of Sant’Anselmo. We represent 7,000 monks, while our nuns and sisters number 14,000. With regard to the nuns, we thank you for your Apostolic Constitution "Dei Vultum quaerere". The nuns feel very encouraged. We do not live in strong times, but we are not pessimistic. There are some vocations, with the situation changing from culture to culture. We are aware that beyond the celebration of the liturgy, there is need for the revitalization of community life. Therefore, our communities have welcomed heartily your challenge of mercy and are transmitting it during days of study across a broader setting. Our monasteries are involved in a multitude of activities, and I would like to mention only a few events: Due to the needs generated by current migration, quite a number of monasteries especially in Germany and Austria have welcomed refugees within their walls. In our schools, we form 160,000 students. An international commission oversees the Benedictine profile of education. -
Sally N. Vaughn, Archbishop Anselm 1093–1109. Bec Missionary
Mittelalter – Moyen Âge (500–1500) Sally N. Vaughn, Archbishop Anselm 1093–1109. Bec Missionary, Canterbury Primate, Patriarch of Another World, Aldershot, Hampshire (Ashgate Publishing) 2012, XXI–287 p. (The Archbishops of Canterbury Series), ISBN 978-1-4094-0121-6, GBP 55,00. rezensiert von/compte rendu rédigé par Brian Patrick McGuire, Kalundborg The Archbishops of Canterbury series promises »authoritative studies« on these men (and hopefully one day women), and Sally Vaughn’s work on Anselm certainly presents this archbishop in a full and convincing manner. This book is the work of a mature scholar who has had time to review a lifetime of reading and thinking about Anselm. In 166 pages of text and under a hundred pages of documents, thankfully in both Latin and English, Vaughn provides what must be the most complete and succinct introduction to Anselm now available. Back in the early 1970s I remember telling R. W. Southern that he had to take into consideration the challenge of Sally Vaughn in seeing Anselm as a politically adept player in the power politics of England. Southern’s view in his 1963 biography, »Saint Anselm and his Biographer«, was that the man was not really interested in such influence, for he wanted to withdraw into conversations with God. In his 1990 revised study, »Saint Anselm. A Portrait in a Landscape«, Southern took into consideration Vaughn’s view of Anselm. He did not entirely agree with her, but he had enjoyed fruitful contacts with her in discussing their common archbishop, and certainly he modified his interpretation and provided a more politically-aware Anselm. -

The Relationship between Bishops, Synods, and the Metropolitan-Bishop in the Orthodox Canonical Tradition Alexander Rentel Beginning with St. Basil the Great, Orthodox canonists maintain an eye both on the canons themselves and the practice of the Church. St. Basil said towards the end of his Third Canon that it is necessary “to know those things according to the strict rule and those things that are customary.” This two-fold task of a canonist reflects the nature of the canons themselves, which are literary expressions of what the Church considers to be normative. Various Church councils and fathers drafted the canons, which now form the corpus canonum, during the first millennium. The canons however are theological responses to particular problems and in no way comprehensively describe all aspects of Church life. The life of the Church was and is much more extensive. Consequently the vast reservoir of experience that the Church has needs to factor into any canonical activity. Since the canons are fixed points of reference through their acceptance, they provide the starting point for canonical work. And, as with any text of late antiquity, they require careful reading and explanation. Additionally, because they emerge from within the Church (fathers, councils, etc.), they take their full meaning for the Church only when considered in a broad ecclesial context. All of the tools, the material, and the methods a canonist has at hand are formed and forged by the Church. In this way, the canons are understood as theological formulations and the canonist finds his work as a theologian. This essay has as its subject the age-old question of primacy in the Church. -

Péter Pázmány: Cardinal, Archbishop of Esztergom, Primate of Hungary
journal of jesuit studies 7 (2020) 526-544 brill.com/jjs Péter Pázmány: Cardinal, Archbishop of Esztergom, Primate of Hungary Paul Shore University of Regina, Regina, Canada [email protected] Péter Tusor Péter Pázmány Catholic University, Budapest, Hungary [email protected] Abstract Péter Pázmány (1570–1636) was one of the most significant personalities in early mod- ern Hungarian history. Born a Protestant, Pázmány converted to Catholicism while a student and then became a Jesuit. Despite the Society’s requirement of vows from its members that excluded the possibility of holding high ecclesiastical office, Pázmány became provost of Turóc (a small church benefice in northern Hungary) and shortly thereafter archbishop of Esztergom and primate of Hungary. His tenure was marked by ecclesiastical reform and multiple educational projects of which the most notable was the founding of a university in Nagyszombat (Trnava). He was also the author of influ- ential devotional and polemical works in the Hungarian vernacular. Pázmány’s legacy as a preserver and promoter of a “civilization” and a creed both Christian and Europe- an and of a culture distinctly Hungarian endures, as does his reputation as a master and shaper of Hungarian prose.

NATIONALISTIC TENDENCIES IN THE SLOVAK ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH1 by Frans Hoppenbrouwers Frans Hoppenbrouwers (*1962) is a Roman Catholic Church historian. He is secretary of studies of the Dutch Roman Catholic relief organisation Communicantes. INTRODUCTION After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the eclipse of the communist regimes that followed it, nationalistic tendencies2 apparently revived throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Appearances can deceive and so they did. It is clear now that nationalistic thinking was fostered throughout the communist era. Even the state itself contributed to that. Nationalism finally became manifest in the 1980’s, during the Perestroika period. It preceded the 1989 turnover as well as the resurgence of a number of states that had lost their existence after World War II or even before that, e.g. -
