Bertille's Brother LA CROIX LA CROIX learned yesterday that Fr Thierry de Roucy had been convicted by the Ecclesiastical court in Lyons on June 21, 2011, of sexual offences, abuse of power, and complicit absolution. Fr. Thierry de Roucy, who was the founder of the charity POINTS DE COEUR and superior of the order SERVITEURS DE JESUS ET DE MARIE d’Ourscamp (Oise) was found guilty of the crimes of abuse of his position of authority, sexual offences, and complicit absolution. According to our sources, the Ecclesiastical Tribunal in Lyons considered that the victim had been forced into having sexual acts that were imposed on him by his superior who used moral intimidation. The facts of the case go back to 1996-1997. The victim is now married and a father, and wishes to reconstruct his life whilst retaining his anonymity. He entered the order at Ourscamp at the age of 18. Fr de Roucy was the superior of the order between 1988 and 2001. The victim confirmed that “he was progressively caught in a trap and found no way of escaping. He made him his socius, forcing him do things that he did not wish to do and for which he was unable to talk to anyone about” said a witness. The victim was sent on a mission to South America where he made friends with a psychologist who advised him to file a complaint for sexual abuse. This he did in 2004 with Mgr Jean-Paul James who was then the bishop of Beauvais. Fr de Roucy was removed from his duties and sent to the abbey at Bec Helluin. A canonical enquiry was set up and the following year the Congregation for the doctrine of the faith, ordered a criminal canonical hearing to be held in Lyons. At the end of the hearing that lasted 7 years, Fr de Roucy was found guilty on 21st June 2011. And the sentence was confirmed by the Congregation for the doctrine of the faith which condemned him to no longer hear confession for a period of three years in respect of the members of Points Coeur, but the tribunal did not pronounce excommunication latae sententiae which is contained within the canon law 1378 § 1 in the case of complicit absolution. Fr de Roucy has no official post within Points Coeur. “The lightness of the sentence is surprising but considering the complexity of the case it is perhaps the cleverest way out when trying to navigate in such muddy waters” says a source who has intimate knowledge of the case,.Fr Stéphane Drillon, the Diocesan chancellor for Nice and Fr de Roucy’s lawyer, told LA CROIX “ The hearing is always covered by the Pontifical secret, and I’m unable to say anything more to you without risking excommunication”. The sentence was not made public as the case was still ongoing in respect of the damages. However on 5th April, on the internet site Pastorale Nouvelles - beliefs and deviant acts by sects 72, the sentence was published. Furthermore Mgr Dominique Rey, who accepted that the Order Points-Coeur could set up home within his diocese of Fréjus-Toulon in 2008, warned the bishops a year ago where the congregation was located and asked that all members be informed, “You have to distinguish between Points Coeur and their magnificent works, from the deviant acts of its founder.” Mgr Rey underscored. This case and other tensions have caused a split within the Order of Ourscamp. Ten years ago several members broke away to follow Fr de Roucy who has not been a member officially since 2010. At the age of 56 yrs, he was recently awarded the Légion d’Honneur. He currently lives in the USA in a home run by the order situated close to New York. He has no official post of responsibility within the Points-Coeur but continues to visit their various branches and houses throughout the world. Points-Coeur: A catholic order for compassion and consolation founded in 1990 to send young volunteers into disadvantaged areas of the world with special attention given to children. The victim was over the age of consent at the time the events took place and does not wish to take any legal action in the case. .

Her concerns seemed less arcane, her presentation more appealingly worked out; as Guy Scarpetta put it in he Nouvel Observateur (May 19, 1980), she now intro- duced into "theoretical rigor an effective measure of seduction." Actually, no sudden change has taken place: the features that are noticeable in Powers of Horror were already in evidence in several earlier essays, some of which have been translated in Desire in Language (Columbia University Press, 1980).

Before proving dogmatically the fact of the substantial change here under consideration, we must first outline its history and nature. Neither of the two suppositions holds in the case of a priest who really intends to celebrate Mass. See our comments policy for more. Even as the Eucharist directs the faithful to do all they can to build up the kingdom of God in this world, it opens up a new and ultimate horizon. It is the same as faith in God v. Learn More about Eucharist. It is, indeed, one of those sublime mysteries, concerning which speculative theology attempts to offer various solutions [see below under 5 ]. The cantor sings or the reader announces the response which all present repeat immediately, and again after each verse of the psalm. A fundamental difference in the centuries since the Protestant Reformation between the teachings and practice of the Catholic Church and that of most Protestant denominations has centered on what one believes happens at the celebration of the Eucharist. How do priests exercise their power to change bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ? Since according to St. Nor does the modern theory of n-dimensions throw any light upon the subject; for the Body of Christ is not invisible or impalpable to us because it occupies the fourth dimension, but because it transcends and is wholly independent of space.

  • Every Age Has Its Problems
    Every age has its problems. The necessary first step toward solution is identification—diagnosis. You can’t cure a brain tumor by removing an appendix. Our problem is UNITY. Everyone fights everyone because no one seems to know what it is or where it lies. But this has always been easy: with the priests, the bishops, the pope. All we need is agreement among them. That’s the problem! Priests no longer agree; many turn schizoid in trying to reconcile what they were taught with their bishops’ orders and policies. Bishops no longer run dioceses. They convene periodically to discuss interminably what Rome tells them to discuss, before voting as Rome indicates. But surely the papacy is the standard of unity? The Catholics of Japan kept the faith more than two hundred years without priest or bishop, without contact with the popes. When priests were again admitted to Japan, these isolated Catholics recognized them by their identical doctrine and tradition. Suppose such a group were found today, isolated for only fifty years, how would they recognize a priest? Where is the identical doctrine? What has become of tradition? A standard is necessary. Trains travel on tracks gauged a uniform distance apart. If this gap varies trains will leave the rails and halt in screeching confusion. If the tracks won’t take the gauge no one asks for a new gauge; the tracks must fit the existing gauge. The Church has left its rails and careers in utter confusion because we no longer have a standard gauge. We could survive without bishops, priests, or popes, as the Japanese Catholics did.

Johnson Thomas Luckett Jennifer Schuberth Portland State University ©2012 i Abstract From the second half of Henry VIII’s reign through that of his son Edward VI, roughly 1530 through 1553, England was in turmoil. Traditional (Catholic) religion was methodically undermined, and sometimes violently swept away, in favor of a biblically based evangelical faith imported and adapted from European dissenters/reformers (Protestants). This thesis elucidates the process of parish-level religious change in England during the tumultuous mid sixteenth century.

Campbell, Committee Member Sarah E. Fredericks, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Cowan, H. Lee, Cardinal Giovanni Battista de Luca: Nepotism in the Seventeenth-Century Catholic Church and de Luca's Efforts to Prohibit the Practice. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August 2012, 361 pages, references, 464 titles. This dissertation examines the role of Cardinal Giovanni Battista de Luca in the reform of nepotism in the seventeenth-century Catholic Church. Popes gave very large amounts of money to their relatives and the burden of nepotism on the Catholic Church was very onerous. The Catholic Church was crippled by nepotism and unable to carry out its traditional functions. Although Cardinal de Luca and Pope Innocent XI worked tirelessly to end nepotism, they were thwarted in their attempts by apprehension among the Cardinals concerning conciliarism and concerning the use of reform measures from the Council of Trent; by Gallicanism and the attempts of the French King to exercise power over the French Church; and by the entrenchment of nepotism and its long acceptance within the Church. Cardinal de Luca and Innocent XI were not able to push through reforms during their lifetimes but Pope Innocent XII was able to complete this reform and pass a reform Bull.
