25 NOVEMBER 2018 YOUTH SUNDAY SOLEMNITY of CHRIST the KING – YEAR B DIVINE OFFICE: Week 2 # WEEK COMMENCING 25 NOVEMBER 2018 YOUTH SUNDAY SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE KING – YEAR B DIVINE OFFICE: Week 2 FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING Pope Pius XI instituted The Feast of Christ the King in 1925 for the universal church, in his encyclical Quas Primas in times when Christians were increasingly doubting Christ's authority and existence, as well as the Church's power to continue Christ's authority. He had connected this waning of faith to the rise of secularism throughout much of Europe, and the rise of non-Christian (or nominally Christian) dictatorships in Europe, who often attempted to assert authority over the Church. Just as the Feast of Corpus Christi was instituted when devotion to the Eucharist was at a low point, the Feast of Christ the King was instituted during a time when respect for Christ and the Church was waning: when the Feast was needed most. Pius hoped the institution of the feast would have various effects. They were: 1. That nations would see that the Church has the right to freedom, and immunity from the state (Quas Primas, 32) 2. That leaders and nations would see that they are bound to give respect to Christ (Quas Primas, 31) 3. That the faithful would gain strength and courage from the celebration of the Feast, reminded that Christ must reign in our hearts, minds, wills, and bodies (Quas Primas, 33). These days individualism is embraced to such an extreme, that the only authority is the individual self. In such an atmosphere, the idea of Christ as ruler is invariably rejected. Many balk too at the idea of earthly kings and queens, believing them to be antiquated and possibly oppressive (which indeed some have been). Many even reject the titles of “lord” and “king” for Christ, believing them to have oppressive connotations. But this misses the point: Christ’s kingship is one of humility and service. Jesus knew the oppressive nature of secular kings, and in contrast to them, He connected his role as king to humble service, and commanded His followers to be servants as well. In other passages of Scripture, His kingdom is tied to his suffering and death. While Christ is coming to judge the nations, His teachings spell out a kingdom of justice and judgment balanced with radical love, mercy, peace, and forgiveness. When we celebrate Christ as King, we are not celebrating an oppressive ruler, but one willing to die for humanity and whose loving-kindness endures forever. Christ is the king that gives us true freedom - freedom in Him. Thus we must never forget that Christ radically redefined and transformed the concept of kingship.

Transactions of the Burgon Society, 17 (2017), pages 101–122 An Argument for the Wider Adoption and Use of Traditional Academic Attire within Roman Catholic Church Services By Seamus Addison Hargrave Introduction It has often been remarked that whilst attending Church of England or Church of Scotland services there is frequently a rich and widely used pageantry of academic regalia to be seen amongst the ministers, whilst among the Catholic counterparts there seems an almost near wilful ignorance of these meaningful articles. The response often returned when raising this issue with various members of the Catholic clergy is: ‘well, that would be a Protestant prac- tice.’ This apparent association of academic dress with the Protestant denominations seems to have led to the total abandonment of academic dress amongst the clergy and laity of the Catholic Church.

    1 Faith Formation Resource to Welcome Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin as the Sixth Archbishop of Newark This catechetical tool is available for use throughout the Archdiocese of Newark to provide resources for catechists to seize this teachable and historical moment. The objectives are listed by grade level and were taken from the Catechetical Curriculum Guidelines for the Archdiocese of Newark. Let us keep our new Archbishop in prayer.

    SOLID TIMES Volume2,Issue1 (http://sssacc.org ) February2011 CONVENTION 2011 By Ron Dill On Sunday, Jan 30, 50 registrants and their guests (about 85 people total) began arriving at the Holiday Inn, East Gate, in Kissimmee for the 2011 SACC National Convention. This year’s convention came quickly on the heels of the 2010 Convention in Bowling Green, KY, because the host chapter (the Sunshine State Chapter) had planned for the Convention to follow the NCRS Winter Regional in “Old Town” across the street. This gave attendees the opportunity to extend their stay in sunny Florida by attending both the Convention and the Regional – thereby missing out on the bad snow storms in the Northeast. The local Chamber of Commerce supported both the Convention and the Regional with wonderful Florida winter weather. Unfortunately, because of the winter time scheduling of the convention, there were very few solid axle cars in attendance. People had stored their cars for the winter and with the dire predictions being made by the weatherman, they were reluctant to get the cars out of the garage. So, people drove late model Vettes or their Tin Cars to the convention. While we would have liked to see more cars – the fact that people braved the bad weather to join us in Central Florida is very heartening and we thank them all for coming. After the event registration process, people had a chance to look over the SACC shirt and hat sales counter as well as the items donated for the silent auction which was going to be held during the Banquet on Tuesday night.

  • Pope Gregory X and the Crusades
    1 POPE GREGORY X AND THE CRUSADES A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE SCHOOL OF HISTORY AT QUEEN MARY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON BY PHILIP BRUCE BALDWIN UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. THOMAS ASBRIDGE 2 FOR MY PARENTS 3 ABSTRACT This study examines the crusading movement during the reign of Pope Gregory X in the latter part of the thirteenth century, before the Latin presence in the Levant came to an end. It seeks to demonstrate the important position of this little-known pope, who formed the bridge between what can now be seen as two separate eras in the crusading period, namely, the era of the traditional passagium generale, and the ‘new’ era of the passagium particulare. To do this, it will study Western and Muslim sources to understand the condition of the Holy Land during Gregory’s pontificate to see the effect it had on the manner in which he organised his crusade, using both traditional and ‘new’ methods. By drawing on sources from crusading in Iberia, it will show that Gregory approached the crusade flexibly, and was not, as commonly described by historians, wholly obsessed with the Holy Land. It also seeks to dispel one of the more popular myths surrounding Gregory, which is that he wanted to change the government of the kingdom of Jerusalem by putting Charles of Anjou in charge there. A study of the Angevin chancery records – little used by crusade historians – will demonstrate that it was not Gregory’s idea, but rather Charles’ own. Finally, using Gregory’s papal registers and chronicle evidence, this study will attempt to imagine the crusade that would have occurred had Gregory not died prematurely.

  • MONKS, POPES, and THEIR POLITICAL INTRIGUES by John Alberger
    MONKS, POPES, AND THEIR POLITICAL INTRIGUES By John Alberger MONKS, POPES, AND THEIR POLITICAL INTRIGUES CHAPTER I. CATHOLICISM A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION Guizot, speaking of the Christian Church, says: "I say the Christian Church, and not Christianity, between which a broad distinction is to be made." The Catholic Church has little except the name of Christianity, while it is secretly a political organization to establish "the supremacy of the Pope over all persons and things," which, according to Bellarmine's view, "is the main substance of Christianity." If we have recourse to the lexicon to ascertain the signification of the term religion, we may arrive at a definite conclusion respecting its classical use: but if we are guided in our inquiry by the popular acceptation, we will discover that its definitions are as numerous as the inhabitants of the globe, and as various as their features. We have Natural religion, Pagan religion, Hindoo religion, Jewish religion, Christian religion, and Mahometan religion. Among Christian sects some believe religion to consist in individual feeling, some in baptism, some in reverence for the clergy, some in problematical creeds and dogmas, some in observances of church ordinations, some in rhapsodies, and some in a species of sentimentalism. The Boston Pilot says: "There can be no religion without an Inquisition;" but Thomas Paine, with nobler philosophy, thinks "religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow creatures happy." The diversity and discordance which have arisen respecting the import of this term, originate from its compound nature adapting it to designate one idea, or a variety of ideas.
