  • Ecclesiastical Circumscriptions and Their Relationship with the Diocesan Bishop
    CANON 294 ECCLESIASTICAL CIRCUMSCRIPTIONS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DIOCESAN BISHOP What is the relationship of the faithful in personal ecclesiastical circumscriptions to the local diocesan bishop? OPINION The Apostolic See, in the Annual General Statistical Questionnaire, asks diocesan bishops the number of priests in the ecclesiastical circumscription of the diocese, their country of origin and whether they are diocesan or religious. The fact that the diocesan bishop is answering these questions indicates the close relationship between himself and any personal Ecclesiastical Circumscription. Canons 215 and 216 of the 1917 Code required that ecclesiastical circumscriptions be territorial within a diocese and an apostolic indult was needed, for example, to establish personal parishes for an ethnic group of the faithful. After World War II, Pope Pius XII provided for the pastoral care of refugees and migrants in his apostolic constitution Exsul Familia in 1952. Chaplains for migrants were granted special faculties to facilitate pastoral care without receiving the power of jurisdiction or governance. The Second Vatican Council admitted personal criteria in ecclesiastical organisation. The decree Christus Dominus 11 held that the essential element of a particular Church is personal, being a “portion of the people of God”. Personal factors are crucial to determine the communitarian aspect of the makeup of a community. After Vatican II, the Code of Canon Law needed revision. The Synod of Bishops in 1967 approved the principles to guide the revision of the code. The eighth principle stated: “The principle of territoriality in the exercise of ecclesiastical government is to be revised somewhat, for contemporary apostolic factors seem to recommend personal jurisdictional units.

  • Legalization of Greek Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia in 1968
    E-Theologos, Vol. 1, No. 2 DOI 10.2478/v10154-010-0017-3 Legalization of Greek Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia in 1968 Jaroslav Coranič University of Prešov in Prešov, Faculty of Greek-Catholic Theology A re-legalization of the Greek Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia was one of the most important results of the revival of socio - political process of the Prague Spring. This Church, unlike the Roman Catholic Church in the period 1950 - 1968 did not even exist legally. It was due to power interference of the communist state power in 1950. The plan of Commu- nist Party assumed the "transformation" of Greek Catholic Church into the Orthodox one. Procedure of liquidation of the Greek Catholic Church later came to be known as Action "P". Its climax came in April 28th 1950, when “sobor of Presov”, being prepared for a longer time, took place. The gath- ering in “sobor” manipulated by the communists declared in “sobor” the abolition of the Union with the Vatican, as a result the Greek Catholic Church ceased exist in Czechoslovakia and the clergy and faithful were meant to became the members of the Orthodox Church.1 In fact only a small part of the Greek Catholic clergy succumbed to power pressure and accepted Orthodoxy. Church leaders, as well as many priests who refused to change to the Orthodox have been arrested and sentenced to many years of punishment. The other Greek-Catholic clergy and their families were deported to the Czech lands and were forbidden to perform a duty of priestly ministry and banned from staying in eastern Slovakia for several years.

  • HISTORICAL ESSAYS About the Armenian Catholic Community in Armenia, Georgia and Oriental Europe
    HISTORICAL ESSAYS About the Armenian Catholic Community in Armenia, Georgia and Oriental Europe. Written by S. E. Archbishop Nerses Der-Nersessian 1. ORIGIN OF CATHOLICS IN ARMENIA The story of Armenian Catholics in Armenia and the Caucasus is long. There is no doubt that their roots go back many centuries and involve an interminable and controversial Christology concerning the Chalcedonies tradition. Historically, the Armenian Catholic community was characterized by migrations, which took place in the first quarter of the nineteenth century after the Russian– Turkish Adrianupol Alliance (1829). Seeking to escape the brutal conditions of the Ottoman Empire, Armenian Catholics left cities such as Karin-Erzerum, Alashkert and Mush and found sanctuary within the Russian Empire. New villages were created and the church was stabilized in the Shirak, Tashir and Lori regions of modern day Armenia, as well as in Javakhk, currently the Georgian provinces of Akhaltsikhe, Akhalkalaki and Ninodzminda (formerly Bogdanovka). Churches, schools and hospitals were built, organized by clergies and priests. They contributed to the Armenian Catholic Hierarchy with diocesan members and prominent monks educated in Mechitarist Congregation of Venice and Vienna and in Patriarchal Convent of Bzommar in Lebanon. The Armenian Catholic Church enjoyed a glorious century. Near the end of the nineteenth century, the Holy Seat of Rome created an ecclesiastical organization, and with the blessing of Russia’s imperial czarist government, designated the city of Saratov as the Armenian Catholics’ center. In 1909, Reverend Sarghis Der-Abrahamian [born Alexandrapol (currently Gümri) 1868, died Rome as an Archbishop 1952] was nominated Apostolic Administrator for Armenian Catholics in the Caucasus.

    This is a print edition, issued in 1998. To ensure that you are reviewing current information, see the online version, updated in the SOAS Archives Catalogue. http://archives.soas.ac.uk/CalmView/ Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=PP+MS+63 PAPERS OF J. T. HARDYMAN PP MS 63 July 1998 J. T. HARDYMAN PP MS 63 Introduction James Trenchard Hardyman was born in Madagascar in 1918, son of missionaries A. V. Hardyman and Laura Hardyman (nee Stubbs). The Hardymans married in 1916 and worked in Madagascar for the London Missionary Society from that year until 1938 and from 1944 to 1950. As a child J. T. Hardyman was sent to England to be educated under the guardianship of the Rev. and Mrs J. H. Haile. Hardyman became a missionary with the London Missionary Society in 1945, in the same year that he married Marjorie Tucker. From 1946 until 1974 the Hardymans lived in Madagascar at Imerimandroso. As well as his missionary work within the Antsihanaka area, Hardyman became the Principal of the Imerimandroso College training Malagasy pastors. Following his return to England, Hardyman worked as Honorary Archivist of the CWM at Livingstone House (1974-91) and for the CBMS (1976-1988). In this capacity he oversaw the deposit of both archives at SOAS. From 1974-83 he also worked for the Overseas Book Service of Feed the Minds. J. T. Hardyman died on 1 October 1995. At the age of eleven, Hardyman was given by Haile a second-hand copy of a book on Madagascar published anonymously by 'a resident' in the 1840s, and this began his collection of published and unpublished material relating to Madagascar; a collection which was to become possibly the most comprehensive private collection in the world.

  • Christianity, Colonialism, and Cross-Cultural Translation: Lancelot Threlkeld, Biraban, and the Awabakal
    Christianity, colonialism, and cross-cultural translation: Lancelot Threlkeld, Biraban, and the Awabakal Anne Keary This essay aims to reconstruct a cross-cultural conversation about sacred matters between Lancelot Threlkeld, a missionary with the London Missionary Society (LMS), and Biraban, a leading man of the Awabakal of eastern Australia. Between 1825 and 1841, Threlkeld devoted himself to learning the language of the Awabakal in hopes of converting them to Christianity, while Biraban, his principal language teacher, helped him translate Christian concepts and educated him about Awabakal traditions. The records of their endeavours are preserved, albeit in an edited and fragmented form, in the missionary’s grammars, vocabularies and Scriptural translations. A close examination of these linguistic texts reveals, in outline, the dynamics of a complex, multi-faceted exchange. Read carefully – and in conjunction with Threlkeld’s other writings – these texts yield new insights into the cross-cultural translation and indigenous reception of Christianity during an early period of British colonisation.1 Threlkeld’s voluminous writings have been the subject of numerous studies. Most scholars have focused on his letters and public reports. Threlkeld 1 A note on terminology: most contemporary scholars use the name Awabakal to refer to both the people who lived around Lake Macquarie and their language. However, it should be noted that the name Awabakal is a relatively recent invention. It appears to have been given to the ‘Lake Macquarie’ people by John Fraser when he edited and republished Threlkeld’s writings under the title The Australian Language as Spoken by the Awabakal, the People of Lake Macquarie, being an account of their language, traditions, and customs (Threlkeld 1892).
