And why are some archbishops addressed as “Cardinal” but others aren’t? WEDNESDAY, 10.10.2018 A. The head of a diocese is called a bishop (c. 376). 8:00 A.M. Mass ♰ Lloyd Wong (Anniversary) We can see here that there is a sacramental change when a priest becomes a bishop. But when the Pope announces that a certain THURSDAY, 10.11.2018 bishop is to become a cardinal, there is no such change. There is an 8:00 A.M. Mass official announcement, and a ceremony at the Vatican (where the new ♰ Angela Pascual cardinal receives his “red hat”), but there is nothing specifically “sacramental” about it. So since a bishop already possesses the fullness of holy orders, what’s the point of his being named a cardinal FRIDAY, 10.12.2018 anyway?(To be continued.) 8:00 A.M. Mass Healing Prayers for Steve Aki The existence of cardinals in the Church’s hierarchy can be traced back historically to the very early days of the Church. The Pope SATURDAY, 10.13.2018 had certain clerics around him who acted in an advisory role. The 8:00 A.M. Mass ♰ For The Deceased Of The Parish term “cardinal” comes from the Latin word cardo, or hinge; these 4:00 P.M. Mass men were key figures in the functioning of the Church on earth. The ♰ Doreen & Francis Chia ♰ Betty & Albert Chong College of Cardinals which exists in the Church today continues to serve this fundamental purpose (c. 353). The most well known ♰ Senator Daniel Akaka responsibility of the College today is of course the election of a new Healing Prayers for Mary Souza Pope after the reigning Pope has died, but the Pope also can and does call Consisteries, or official meetings of the College of Cardinals, when he wishes to discuss and get their opinions on various important issues in the Church. While having an administrative role in the practical operations of the Catholic Church is unquestionably important, the job does not itself require any sort of consecration. A bishop, therefore, who has For The Sick & The Homebound˝ been named a cardinal remains a bishop. This is why a diocesan bishop or archbishop can also be a Margaret Robello, Carrie Talwar, Nancy Asato, Richard Wong, cardinal. Historically, the bishops of particularly important dioceses Benito Bautista, Ron Asato, Steve Aki, Mary Souza throughout the world are normally named cardinals, as a sort of additional honor. While the Pope certainly tries to find the best For The Deceased Of The Parish˝ possible cleric to head every diocese, it is particularly important to Eileen Green, Don Yee, Ron Kano, Gladys Wong, Kenneth Asato, have key men in the largest and most influential dioceses of every Tomiko Asato, Doreen & Francis Chia, Betty & Albert Chong, country. Naming these men to be cardinals is an additional sign of Dr. Joseph Chang, Frederick Lum the significant role they play, not only in governing their own dioceses, but also in advising the Pope. Here in the US, traditionally the bishops heading the larger archdioceses like New York, Chicago, new archbishop of New York, Timothy Dolan, has not (yet, as this are usually named cardinals as well. This is why it is completely writing) been named a Cardinal, so at least for now he is referred to correct to speak, for example of cardinal George as the Archbishop of simply as Archbishop Dolan. (To be continued) Chicago-because he has both roles and both titles. The relatively catholicexchange.com Saint Of The Day 2. WHAT DID ROE V. WADE DO? It said the right of privacy (not mentioned in the text of the October 7, 2018 St. Artaldus˝ Constitution) “is broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.” The Justices ruled that Artaldus (also called Arthaud) was born in the a state may not restrict abortion at all in the first three months of castle of Sothonod in Savoy.

However, after less than the ninth month if the abortionist says it is needed to serve a two years of episcopate, his resignation was accepted, and he woman’s emotional well-being. Though the modern court has yet to thankfully returned to Arvieres, where he lived in peace for the rest of confront a challenge to a post-viability ban, Doe suggests that no his days.

  • David Hugh Farmer . an Appreciation
    David Hugh Farmer . An Appreciation Anne E. Curry University of Reading On 29 June 1988, over 80 past and present members and supporters of the Graduate Centre for Medieval Studies gathered for its annual summer sy mposium, on this occasion dedicated to the theme of 'Saints' to mark the retirement of David Hugh Farmer. It may seem odd to begin an appreciation of David with a remembrance of the end of his time at Reading, but that June day (by happy coincidence the double feast of Saints Peter and Paul) very much summed up David's important contribution to Medieval Studies in this University. The large audience present testified to the affection and respect in which he was, and is, held by the many staff and students who have known him. Several unable to attend sent their greetings. The theme of 'Saints', which David has made very much hi s own, with such memorable consequences, proved as stimulating as it was appropriate to the occasion. The 1988 summer symposium was one of the most successful, enjoyable and uplifting meetings that the GCMS has ever staged. The spirit of good humour, combined with academic stimulation, permeated the assembly and David himself spoke with his customary sensitivity and commitment. It seemed only natural to publish a volume of essays on 'Saints' based on the proceedings of June 1988 (the papers by Drs Kemp and Millett), and we are extremely pleased that others who knew David eilher as fellow academics, in the case of Professors Holdsworth and Morris, or research students, in the case of Margaret Harris and Nigel Berry, have been able to add their contributions.

  • Chapter Seven Wulfstan of Worcester: Revived by the Model with The
    Chapter Seven Wulfstan of Worcester: Revived by the Model With the explosion of the Becket cult from Canterbury in 1170, many other bishop- saints began to perform miracles again in order to aid the flow of pilgrims to Canterbury, and take advantage of the economic value of a new saint. Saints such as St Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne (d. 687), began performing miracles once more with renewed strength after a hiatus. Cuthbert had been ‘considered perhaps the most popular saint in England prior to the death of Thomas Becket in 1170’, 1 rivalling his cult rather than being eclipsed by it, 2 can be seen to have been working actively with Becket who sometimes even sent pilgrims to Cuthbert’s shrine for miracles. 3 Other cults emerged and re-emerged, allowing postulants who had been considered holy to prove themselves saints, such as that of William FitzHerbert, archbishop of York (d. 1154) who had performed a few miracles and was considered holy because his body had the odour of sanctity, according to his biographers writing in the 1160s; 4 however, it was not until 1177 that he began to perform miracles properly. 5 Wulfstan II, Bishop of Worcester, also soon began performing miracles alongside the other bishop-saints. Whereas William of York had emerged at the right time to take part in this miraculous 1 D.

Within the chronicle, allegations of Jewish ritual murder rested alongside classical sources in various languages, including Greek, Latin, Arabic, and Hebrew. Matthew Paris’s Chronica Majora and Allegations of Jewish Ritual Murder David A. Meier, Dickinson State University Allegations of Jewish ritual murder in medieval European chronicles rested alongside classical sources in various languages, including Greek, Latin, Arabic, and Hebrew. Hartmann Schedel’s Weltchronik 1493 (2001) depicted Simon of Trent’s alleged murder by the local Jewish community in 1475 in a manner that mirrored alleged Jewish ritual murders in England in 1144 and 1255.1 Between 1144 and 1493, allegations of Jewish ritual murder spread and flourished. Matthew Paris’s Chronica Majora emerged at historical crossroads where allegations of Jewish ritual murder spread beyond England and into continental Europe. Before the century finished in 1290, England had expelled its Jewish population inspiring many regions on the continent to follow suit in the coming years.2 In offering a written record, chroniclers bridged narrative history from ancient times (largely Biblical) with contemporary culture, history, society, politics and nascent legal systems, employed, in turn, by both church and state in the High Middle Ages.

FOREWORD The selection at Eynsham (with Henry II himself presiding) of Hugh to be Bishop of Lincoln, eight hundred years ago, was nationally important. Conflict between King and Church had led, sixteen years before, to the murder of Becket by Henry's knights, in Canterbury Cathedral. As part of his penance, Henry had founded monasteries, over one of which (Witham in Somerset) he appointed Hugh, a Carthusian monk from France, to preside. It was a brilliant choice. Hugh was admired, trusted, and loved. Everyone, including Henry himself, knew that his integrity was beyond question. Hugh took steps to see that the actual election was made by the canons of Lincoln, technically their right, and an example of that sensitivity that was one of his characteristics as an administrator.

  • St Hugh of Avallon/Lincoln, (C. 1135-1200) Bishop of Lincoln
    St Hugh of Avallon/Lincoln, (c. 1135-1200) Bishop of Lincoln Hugh of Lincoln was born in Burgundy, France, at the castle of Avallon. He joined the Augustinian canons with his widowed father, but at the age of 25 he attempted to transfer to the stricter Carthusian order. After some confusion this was accomplished. In 1180 he was assigned as prior of Witham Friary, the first Carthusian House in England. It was here that he made his annual retreat after becoming a bishop. The canons of Lincoln had not had a bishop for sixteen years until Henry II nominated Hugh, who declined until he could obtain the approval of his superior at La Grande Chartreuse. The new bishop then began a number of reforms and was also known for his personal attention to the needs of lepers and his protection of the oppressed. Bishop Hugh was present at the coronation of Richard I (the Lion‐Heart) in 1188; he later angered the king by refusing (as spokesman for the barons) to raise money for wars outside of England. Told that the King thirsted for money, Bishop Hugh said: “If he is thus thirsty, I will not be the water to quench his thirst.” He also accused Richard of infidelity to his wife and encroachment upon the Church’s rights. He was in France at the time of the king’s death and was present at King The three kings John’s coronation in 1199. of England with whom Bishop Hugh contended during his lifetime: Henry II, Richard I and John I.

It has often been defined by contemporary criticism, such as this assuredly rhetorical statement by John of Salisbury, or through the charters, acta, of archdeacons themselves, which are dominated by only the administrative processes of the office.

  • A Scholar and His Saints. Examining the Art of Hagiographical Writing of Gerald of Wales
    UNIVERSITY The life of Giraldus Cambrensis / Gerald of Wales (c.1146 – c.1223) represents many PRESS facets of the Middle Ages: he was raised in a frontier society, he was educated in Paris, he worked for the kings of England and he unsuccessfully tried to climb the ecclesiastical ladder. He travelled widely, he met many high-ranking persons, and he wrote books in which he included more than one (amusing) anecdote about many persons. Up to this day, scholars have devoted a different degree of attention to Giraldus’ works: his ethnographical and historiographical works have been studied thoroughly, whereas his hagiographical writing has been left largely unexamined. This observation is quite surprising, because Giraldus’ talent as a hagiographer has been acknowledged long ago. Scholars have already examined Giraldus’ saints’ lives independently, but an interpretation of his whole hagiographical œuvre is still a desideratum. This thesis proposed to fill this gap by following two major research questions. First of all, this thesis examined the particular way in which Giraldus depicted each saint. Furthermore, it explained why Giraldus chose / preferred a certain depiction of a FAU Studien aus der Philosophischen Fakultät 17 particular saint. Overall, an examination of the hagiographical art of writing of Giraldus Cambrensis offered insight into the way hagiography was considered by authors and commissioners and how this art was practiced during the twelfth and thirteenth century.
