    CCHA Report, 2 (1934-1935), 12-21 THE FIRST HUNDRED YEARS OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS BY THE REV. F. H. BRADLEY, P H. D. In the year 1534 Henry VIII proclaimed his Act of Supremacy, declaring himself sole head of the Church in England, and thereby laid the cornerstone of the schism that was to develop into a heresy and separate England from the Church of Christ. The same year John Calvin began his career as a heretic and started the movement that worked such havoc in France, in England, and in Scotland. Seventeen years earlier, Luther had hurled defiance at the Pope and begun the breaking up of Christian unity. While all of these agents were working to destroy Christ's work and to dismember His kingdom, Divine Providence was preparing a band of workers to undo the evil that had been done, to strengthen the fortresses of the Old World, and to establish outposts in pagan lands where vast numbers of new members of the great Christian family should replace those who had fallen away or who had been separated from the Church by the disrupting forces of the Reformation. Ignatius Loyola and his little band of religious pronounced their first vows on the Feast of the Assumption of our Blessed Lady, August 15th, 1534. This group of zealous men of God did not have any intention, at the outset, of being special counter-reformers, but it was God's will that they should be one of the most powerful factors in undoing the work of Luther and his followers on the continent of Europe, and in swelling the ranks of Christ's army with fresh recruits from the four corners of the earth.

  • The Specola Vaticana: Astronomy at the Vatican
    Organizations, People and Strategies in Astronomy 2 (OPSA 2), 217-230 Ed. A. Heck, © 2013 Venngeist. THE SPECOLA VATICANA: ASTRONOMY AT THE VATICAN GUY CONSOLMAGNO AND CHRISTOPHER CORBALLY Specola Vaticana V-00120, Vatican City State [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. The Vatican is an independent nation, with its own national astronomical observatory, the Specola Vaticana (Vatican Observatory). As- tronomy has been supported at the Vatican since the 1582 reform of the calendar; the present-day Observatory has been in operation since 1891. The work of the observatory is divided between two sites, one in the pa- pal summer gardens south of Rome, Italy, and the other affiliated with the Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona, in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Research undertaken by current staff members ranges from cosmol- ogy and the study of galactic evolution to meteoritics and meteors. Given the stable funding provided by the Vatican, the Observatory has specialized in long-term mapping and cataloguing projects that would be difficult to mount under a traditional three-year funding cycle. These have included participation in the Carte du Ciel photographic map of the sky; the at- lases of spectra produced by its Spectrochemical Laboratory; surveys of star clusters and peculiar stars; and the cataloguing of meteorite physical properties. 1. Astronomy in the Holy See Before 1891 To the Christian church, the study of creation has long been supported as an act of worshipping the Creator. Astronomy was one of the seven subjects that made up the curriculum of the medieval universities, which were themselves founded by the Church.

  • 2013 Annual Report
    2013 ANNUAL REPORT A Message from His Eminence, Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan With all the changes taking place in healthcare today, people are more concerned than ever about finding the best care for themselves and those they love. For those who depend on government insurance benefits, changes in how Medicare and Medicaid pay for services like long-term care have only added to their uncertainty and stress. The genius of the Church is that we always find ways to keep pace with our changing society. As the needs of our commu- nities have evolved, ArchCare has evolved along with them. Over the last several years, our diocesan healthcare ministry has transformed itself from a provider of nursing home care for the frail elderly to offer a broad array of care options, including home and community-based services. Sadly, as has happened with some public hospitals and nurs- ing homes, we have seen a few Catholic healthcare providers in our area close their doors recently, leaving some to believe that Catholic healthcare is in retreat. Here in the Archdio- cese of New York, nothing could be further from the truth! ArchCare is growing, delivering top-quality care with Catholic values to more people in more places and in fresh, new ways. Forced to adapt to a changing healthcare landscape, many providers said, “We can’t!” We as Catholics say, “We can, and we will!” As the Gospel teach- es, “Nothing is impossible with God!” While much about healthcare in our country today remains uncertain, at ArchCare there is one thing we can always count on.
