Saint Francis of Assisi (Italian: San Francesco d'Assisi), born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, informally named as Francesco (1181/1182 – 3 October 1226),[1][4] was an Italian Roman Catholic friar and preacher. He founded the men’s Order of Friars Minor, the women’s Order of Saint Clare, the Third Order of Saint Francis and the Custody of the Holy Land.[1] Francis is one of the most venerated religious figures in history.[1] Pope Gregory IX canonized Francis on 16 July 1228. Along with Saint Catherine of Siena, he was designated Patron saint of Italy.

The rule was “To follow the teachings of our Lord Je- sus Christ and to walk in his footsteps”. In 1209, Francis led his first eleven followers to Rome to seek permission from Pope Innocent III to found a new religious Order.[21] Upon entry to Rome, the brothers encountered Bishop Guido of Assisi, who had in his company Giovanni di San Paolo, the Cardinal Bishop of Sabina.

TITULAR ARCHBISHOP OF TYANA APOSTOLIC NUNCIO TO IRELAND HONORARY MEMBER OF THE ACADEMY OF AMERICAN FRANCISCAN HISTORY AND OF THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, FELLOW OF THE ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND 1870-1948 HE MOST REV. PASCHAL ROBINSON, O.F.M., Apostolic Nuncio to Ireland, died on August 27, 1948, at the Nuncia­ T ture, Phoenix Park, Dublin. Archbishop Robinson, born in Ireland on April 26, 1870, as a young man came to the United States, where he joined the Franciscan Province of the Holy Name in 1896. For a number of years he taught in the schools of that Province, as well as at the Monastery of the Holy Land in Washington, D. C. In 1913 he was named Professor of Medieval History at the Catholic University, a post he held until his appointment to the diplomatic service of the Holy See in 1919. Before he was twenty-five, the young Robinson was already well known in journalistic circles, having been London correspondent for The New York Sun. At the age of twenty-two, he became Associ­ ate Editor of The North American Review, the outstanding literary vehicle of the time. He was not to find complete satisfaction in this type of life, however, and in 1895 he entered Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass., as a preliminary step toward priestly studies. The following year he received the Franciscan habit at St. Bonaventure College, St. Bonaventure, N. Y. Recognizing his extraordinary ability, his superiors sent him to complete his theological course at the recently founded International College of the Order in Rome.

Katharina Kasper hat ganz ernst damit gemacht. In vielen ihrer Briefe fordert sie dazu auf, nach Heiligkeit zu streben (vgl. S. 28). Für sie ist das eine wichtige Aufgabe jeder einzelnen: Wir müssen „die Heiligkeit so recht erreichen wollen und als unsere größte Aufgabe erreichen. Was kann alles andere nützen.“ (Brief 191) Ja, sie ist sogar davon überzeugt, dass die eigene Heiligkeit die Voraus- setzung dafür ist, dass glaubwürdig Zeugnis gegeben werden kann.

  • The Role of Creatures in the Spiritual Life
    THE ROLE OF CREATURES IN THE SPIRITUAL LIFE To what extent should the Christian love and use the good things of this world, and to what extent should he renounce them? This is the question at issue. It is the problem of the transcendent, supernatural vocation of the Christian and his existential condition in the world on the practical level of ascetical attitudes. It is the problem of engagement and detachment. We take the term creatures in a dynamic and not a static sense, as objects of human acts rather than entities existing apart from man. Creatures embrace the whole hierarchy of humanistic values, all human goods that are legitimate objects of man's love and effort.1 We include whatever natural and supernatural goodness that is found in these human values under the one notion of their created goodness and prescind from the controverted question of the objective permanent value in terrestrial realities.2 1 Created goods are personal, e.g. health, money, love and being loved or social, e.g. culture, civilization, temporal structures; they include the goods' of nature and of art and technology, whether these directly serve the body, like the comforts of climate or furniture, or the mind, like recreation or work! or the human spirit, such as knowledge and love. The classification of these goods and their objective relation to the supernatural economy of grace is the object of the theology of terrestrial reality; our viewpoint, that of spiritual theology, is their subjective repercussions in the spiritual life and ideal attitudes to be fostered toward them.

Dr Herzl outlined to the Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church the full details of the Zionist project, providing assurances that the various Holy Places in Palestine would be “ex-territorialised” to ensure their security and protection, and sought the Pope’s endorsement and support, preferably through the issuing of a pro-Zionist encyclical.
