  • CONDEMNATION of COMMUNISM in PONTIFICAL MAGISTERIUM Since Pius IX Till Paul VI
    CONDEMNATION OF COMMUNISM IN PONTIFICAL MAGISTERIUM since Pius IX till Paul VI Petru CIOBANU Abstract: The present article, based on several magisterial documents, illus- trates the approach of Roman Pontiffs, beginning with Pius IX and ending with Paul VI, with regard to what used to be called „red plague”, i.e. communism. The article analyses one by one various encyclical letters, apostolic letters, speeches and radio messages in which Roman Pontiffs condemned socialist theories, either explicitly or implicitly. Keywords: Magisterium, Pope, communism, socialism, marxism, Christianity, encyclical letter, apostolic letter, collectivism, atheism, materialism. Introduction And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ (Rev 12,3-4.13.17). These words, written over 2.000 years ago, didn’t lose their value along time, since then and till now, reflecting the destiny of Christian Church and Christians – „those who guard the God words and have the Jesus tes- timony” – in the world, where appear so many „dragons” that have the aim to persecute Jesus Christ followers.

  • Solemnity of Christ the King - B
    Solemnity of Christ the King - B Note: Where a Scripture text is underlined in the body of this discussion, it is recommended that the reader look up and read that passage. Introduction Instituted by Pius XI in 1926, this feast was celebrated on the last Sunday of October to foster the awareness of Christ’s dominion over all people and to establish peace among nations. After Vatican Council II the feast was transferred to the last Sunday of the Liturgical Year, the Sunday before Advent, on which the human race is consecrated to the Sacred Heart through the Litany of the Sacred Heart and a prayer recited before the Blessed Sacrament. This feast celebrates Christ’s Kingship in an altogether non-worldly way. Jesus was anointed by the Father with the oil of gladness as the Eternal Priest and Universal King. As Priest He offered His life on the altar of the Cross and redeemed the human race by this one perfect sacrifice of peace. As King He claims dominion over all creation that He may present to the almighty Father a Kingdom of truth and life, a Kingdom of holiness and grace, a Kingdom of justice, love, and peace. 1st Reading - Daniel 7:13-14 Last week we heard from Daniel’s fourth apocalyptic vision as our first reading and referred to our reading for today as part of our study of the Gospel. Today’s first reading is from Daniel’s first apocalyptic vision, the vision of the four beasts, which occupies all of chapter 7. The Jerome Biblical Commentary and The New Jerome Biblical Commentary both say that “all exegetes now agree that the four beasts of this vision stand for the four successive pagan empires:” a) The Babylonians b) The Medes c) The Persians d) The Greeks I am going to disagree.

    At Holy Family Catholic Church: 338 W. University Blvd., Tucson January 17, A.D. 2021 VERITATEM FACIENTES IN CARITATE - LIVING THE TRUTH IN CHARITY Week of Prayer for an End to Schism Ad tollendum schisma Jan. 18 - Jan. 25 Beginning on the feast of the Chair of St. Peter at Rome, Jan. 18, we pray until the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul on Jan. 25 for the return to the fullness of the Catholic Church those sepa- rated brethren currently outside the Church of Christ. This is in particular a great time to pray for fallen away family members! During these dates, there will be a Collect, Secret, and Post- Communion added to each Mass for this intention replacing the prayer for the Pope (pro Papa). Prayers at Mass Collect: O God, who setteth straight what has gone astray, and gatherest together what is scattered, and keepest what Thou has gathered together: we beseech Thee in Thy mercy to pour down on Christian people that grace of union with Thee, that putting disunion aside and joining themselves to the true Shepherd of Thy Church, they may be able to ren- der Thee worthy service. Through our Lord Jesus Christ… Secret: Sanctify, O Lord, for the union of Christian people, these gifts offered to Thee; and by their means grant us the grace of union and peace within Thy Church. Through our Lord… Post-Communion: We beseech Thee, O Lord, that this Thy holy communion which we have received, as it represents the union of the faithful in Thee, so may it bring about re- union in Thy Church.

  • Reflection for the Feast of Christ the King
    Reflection for the Feast of Christ the King Almighty ever-living God, whose will is to restore all things in your beloved Son, the King of the universe, grant we pray, that the whole creation, set free from slavery, may render your majesty service and ceaselessly proclaim your praise. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Collect for Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe The Feast of Christ the King that we celebrate today is a relatively recent addition to the Liturgical Calendar. Pope Pius XI instituted this Feast in 1925 with his encyclical Quas Primas (In the First), and the Feast was first celebrated on October 31, 1926. Due to concern about a growing secularism and nationalism in the world Pope Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King to remind all of us of the universal nature of our Lord and the connection that we have to one another due to the fact that we are all part of God’s creation. Viewing Christ as the King of the Universe is not an idea that developed in the 20th century, rather this concept dates back to the start of Christianity and has its roots in the Jewish faith and the belief in the Messiah, the Savior of the world. We can read from the works of St. Cyril of Alexandria who was born in 376 and died in 444 and was the Bishop of Alexandria Egypt.

Amen. The Song of Christ’s Glory: Christ Jesus was in the form of God, but he did not cling to equality with God; He emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, And was born in our human likeness. Being found in human form, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him, and bestowed on him the name above every name; PLEASE LEAVE THIS BOOKLET AT THE CHURCH DOOR That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
