Foster: Canonical Considerations on Apparitions CANONICAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING ALLEGED APPARITIONS Michael Smith Foster,]C.D. * Introduction Each Christmas season brings with it the songs of the holi­ day. A well-known song innocently asks the question, "Do you see what I see? Do you see what I see, way up in the sky shepherd boy?" The song states that the star shining in the night would bring goodness and light. And indeed it did. The star's manifestation signaled an unparalleled event in salva­ tion history. However, before we are lulled too easily by the sweet senti­ ment of that Christmas song, we should remind ourselves that the manifestation of that celestial sign brought with it two di­ vergent responses. As the second chapter of St. Matthew's gospel indicates, it not only brought wise men from the East to witness the divine epiphany, but it also enraged the madness of Herod and brought about the slaughter of the holy inno­ cents.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See APOSTOLIC LETTER MOTU PROPRIO OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF FRANCIS MITIS IUDEX DOMINUS IESUS BY WHICH THE CANONS OF THE CODE OF CANON LAW PERTAINING TO CASES REGARDING THE NULLITY OF MARRIAGE ARE REFORMED The Gentle Judge, our Lord Jesus, the Shepherd of our Souls, entrusted to the Apostle Peter and to his successors the power of the keys to carry out the work of truth and justice in the Church; this supreme and universal power of binding and loosing here on earth asserts, strengthens and protects the power of Pastors of particular Churches, by virtue of which they have the sacred right and duty before the Lord to enact judgment toward those entrusted to their care.[1] Through the centuries, the Church, having attained a clearer awareness of the words of Christ, came to and set forth a deeper understanding of the doctrine of the indissolubility of the sacred bond of marriage, developed a system of nullities of matrimonial consent, and put together a judicial process more fitting to the matter so that ecclesiastical discipline might conform more and more to the truth of the faith she was professing. All these things were done following the supreme law of the salvation of souls[2] insofar as the Church, as Blessed Paul VI wisely taught, is the divine plan of the Trinity, and therefore all her institutions, constantly subject to improvement, work, each according to its respective duty and mission, toward the goal of transmitting divine grace and constantly promoting the good of the Christian faithful as the Church’s essential end.[3] It is with this awareness that we decided to undertake a reform of the processes regarding the 2 nullity of marriage, and we accordingly assembled a Committee for this purpose comprised of men renowned for their knowledge of the law, their pastoral prudence, and their practical experience.

Bishop Kicanas said, “We are blessed that the Holy Father Pope Francis has appointed as our seventh Bishop in the Diocese of Tucson, a caring and loving pastor and shepherd for our community. He will walk with us, listen to us and stand up for us. His many gifts will provide the pastoral leadership we need. He will be a collaborative worker with diocesan personnel, interfaith leaders and all those with responsibility in this vast diocese of 43,000 square miles.” Weisenburger served as a priest of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City for almost 25 years.

  • Mediaguide 10.5.18
    A Media Guide to the Diocese of Manchester Updated October 5, 2018 This document is meant to brief members of the media and the on the general structure of the Catholic Church in New Hampshire, as well as identify often-misunderstood Church terms. Words and phrases bolded below are also listed in the glossary. This document will be reviewed and updated periodically. CONTENTS: Structure of the Diocese of Manchester Glossary STRUCTURE OF THE DIOCESE OF MANCHESTER Who we are The Diocese of Manchester is the Roman Catholic Church in New Hampshire. Diocese is a term referring to a territorial division of the Church, headed by a bishop. Our territory includes the entire state of New Hampshire and includes all Roman Catholics in that area. A diocese is named for a see city, the place where the bishop resides and his cathedral is located. See is another word for diocese. In New Hampshire, our cathedral is St. Joseph’s Cathedral in Manchester. A chief diocese in a designated region is known as an archdiocese. Also known as a metropolitan see, an archdiocese is head of what is known as a province. The Diocese of Manchester is in a province that includes all of Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. The Archdiocese of Boston, which is the only archdiocese in these states, is the chief diocese of our province. The Diocese of Manchester, while connected as a part of the Universal Church with other dioceses, is independently operated by its bishop. As such, its organizational structure may differ from that of other dioceses.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See APOSTOLIC LETTER MOTU PROPRIO OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF FRANCIS MITIS ET MISERICORS IESUS BY WHICH THE CANONS OF THE CODE OF CANONS OF EASTERN CHURCHES PERTAINING TO CASES REGARDING THE NULLITY OF MARRIAGE ARE REFORMED The Gentle and merciful Jesus, the Shepherd of our Souls, entrusted to the Apostle Peter and to his successors the power of the keys to carry out the work of truth and justice in the Church; this supreme and universal power of binding and loosing here on earth asserts, strengthens, and protects the power of Pastors of particular Churches, by virtue of which they have the sacred right and duty before the Lord to enact judgment toward those entrusted to their care.[1] When he promulgated the Code of Canons of Eastern Churches, our Venerable Predecessor, Saint John Paul II, noted: “From the beginning of the codification of the canons of the Eastern Churches it was the firm will of the Roman Pontiffs to promulgate two codes: one for the Latin Church, the other for the Eastern Catholic Churches. This would clearly show the observance of that which results in the Church by God's Providence - that the Church itself, gathered in the one Spirit, breathes as though with two lungs - of the East and of the West - and that it burns with the love of Christ in one heart having two ventricles.”[2] Following the same path, and taking into consideration the unique ecclesial and disciplinary structure of the Eastern Churches, we have decided to promulgate norms through a separate motu proprio to update the practice of matrimonial processes according to the Code of Canons of Eastern Churches.
