  • The Santissima Annunziata of Florence, Medici Portraits, and the Counter Reformation in Italy
    THE SANTISSIMA ANNUNZIATA OF FLORENCE, MEDICI PORTRAITS, AND THE COUNTER REFORMATION IN ITALY by Bernice Ida Maria Iarocci A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Bernice Iarocci 2015 THE SANTISSIMA ANNUNZIATA OF FLORENCE, MEDICI PORTRAITS, AND THE COUNTER REFORMATION IN ITALY Bernice Ida Maria Iarocci Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2015 A defining feature of the Counter-Reformation period is the new impetus given to the material expression of devotion to sacred images and relics. There are nonetheless few scholarly studies that look deeply into the shrines of venerated images, as they were renovated or decorated anew during this period. This dissertation investigates an image cult that experienced a particularly rich elaboration during the Counter-Reformation – that of the miracle-working fresco called the Nunziata, located in the Servite church of the Santissima Annunziata in Florence. By the end of the fifteenth century, the Nunziata had become the primary sacred image in the city of Florence and one of the most venerated Marian cults in Italy. My investigation spans around 1580 to 1650, and includes texts related to the sacred fresco, copies made after it, votives, and other additions made within and around its shrine. I address various components of the cult that carry meanings of civic importance; nonetheless, one of its crucial characteristics is that it partook of general agendas belonging to the Counter- Reformation movement. That is, it would be myopic to remain within a strictly local scope when considering this period.

  • THE ANTEPREPARATORY PERIOD Joseph A. Komonchak Almost Four
    THE ANTEPREPARATORY PERIOD Joseph A. Komonchak Almost four months passed after Pope John's announcement of the Council before the first official notice was given of the steps to be taken to prepare for it. Not a great deal is known at this point about what went on in the meantime,1 as the decisions were being made that would be announced by the Pope on Pentecost Sunday, May 17, 1959. It is quite likely that the Pope had consulted with Cardinal Tardini who may be assumed also to have proposed the structure and methods which were announced on that date. Whether Tardini was responsible for the four-month delay is not known, but Cardinal Frings later recalled that the Secretary of State's influence dampened rather than encouraged the project and he thus lived up to his name!2 Official Activity On May 17, 1959, Pope John appointed an Antepreparatory Commission for the Council.3 It was to have the following tasks: (1) to contact the bishops of the world for their advice and suggestions, (2) to gather proposals from the dicasteries of the Roman Curia, (3) to learn the views of the theological and canonical faculties of Catholic universities, (4) to sketch the general lines of the topics to be discussed at the Council, and (5) to suggest various bodies (Commissions, Secretariats, etc.) to prepare the Council's agenda. The President of the Commission was Cardinal Tardini, the Pope's Secretary of State; the Secretary was Msgr. Pericle Felici, auditor in the Sacred Rota. The other ten members all held important posts in the various Curial Congregations: 1 See Peter Hebblethwaite, Pope John XXIII: Shepherd of the Modern World (Garden City: Doubleday, 1985), pp.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Promotion of Doctrine by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith In Light of Pastor bonus and Canon 754 A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Canon Law Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor in Canon Law By Christopher J. Beaudet Washington, D.C. 2010 The Promotion of Doctrine by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith In Light of Pastor bonus and Canon 754 Very Rev. Christopher J. Beaudet, J.C.D. Director: Prof. Kurt Martens, J.C.D. ABSTRACT The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) has safeguarded doctrine since its inception, yet the 1988 Apostolic Constitution Pastor bonus describes the CDF‘s ―proper duty‖ as being twofold: ―to promote (promovere) and safeguard (tutari) the doctrine on faith and morals in the whole Catholic world.‖ The dissertation investigates and presents the canonical significance of the CDF‘s competency to promote doctrine as distinct from safeguarding it, and probes the applicability of canon 754 in determining the legally required response to doctrine promoted by the CDF on the part of the Christian faithful. The dissertation has five chapters. Chapter one provides a general sketch of the CDF‘s historical competency to safeguard doctrine in order to highlight its relatively recent competency to promote it. Chapter two presents the pastoral incentives which led to the reform of the Roman Curia in Pastor bonus in general and of the norms for the CDF in particular. Chapter three illustrates how the CDF, the International Theological Commission (ITC), and the Pontifical Biblical Commission (PBC) have promoted doctrine since Pastor bonus through the analysis of selected documents.
