We can respond to his love for us by reaching out and loving one another. The circle represents our world. White, the colour of light, represents God. Red is for the suffering of Christ. Red also represents the Holy Spirit. Yellow represents the risen Christ. The direction of the lines is inwards except for the cross, which stretches outwards.

The study of topics in the Sacrament and Worship Strand is intended to deepen students’ understanding of the way in which the mysterious reality of Te Atua (God) is revealed through signs of ordinary things and people, and especially through the Sacraments of the Church. It is also intended to promote understanding of public and personal modes of worship. This teacher material should be read alongside the following: • The Religious Education Curriculum Statement for Catholic Secondary Schools in Aotearoa New Zealand. • The student resource book for 10F “Sinfulness and Reconciliation”. • The student write-on activities for 10F “Sinfulness and Reconciliation” in the year ten student workbook. • The supplementary material and activities on the website. This topic deals with two great realities – the presence of sin in human life and God’s freeing us from the power of that sin through the life, death and Te Aranga (Resurrection) of Jesus. Men and women were created in the image and likeness of Te Atua and given the freedom necessary to love God and love one another. But although “God is infinitely good and all God’s works are good” (CCC 385), brokenness and sin have been an inescapable aspect of human experience from the beginning of history – and the consequence of our misuse of that freedom which God gives us. The purpose of this topic is to help students understand that although sin has a powerful and destructive hold on our lives and our world, it cannot prevent the building up of God’s reign that was revealed in Hehu Karaiti. Sin’s reach is not infinite – reconciliation and healing do take place, both in the events of our daily lives and through the Church. The Scriptures present Jesus as the perfect healer and reconciler, the one who came to free people from sin: “… the lamb of God that takes away the 2 sin of the world” (John 1:29). Nga Rongopai (the Gospels) show that Jesus, through his words and actions, has an abiding concern for sin and a readiness to forgive and to heal (Matthew 9:2-8; Mark 2:5-12; Luke 5:20-26). Hehu, after the Resurrection, passed on to the disciples – and through them to the Church – this responsibility for freeing people from the grip of sin: “As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.” After saying this he breathed on them and said: “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone’s sins, they are retained.” (John 20:21-23) The importance of the forgiveness of sins in the life of the first Christians can be seen in the emphasis given to it in the preaching of the Apostles (Acts of the Apostles 2:38; 5:31; 10:43; 13:38; 26:18). Since it began the Church has always been a sign of hohou rongo (healing and reconciliation). Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation – which at different times has been variously known as Penance, Confession, Conversion or Forgiveness – the Church has continued to carry out the healing work of Hehu and be a living sign of God at work in the world. The Church has always taught that reconciliation with Te Atua requires confession, contrition, penance and absolution. Even when Baptism was the only form of the sacrament, confession was expressed through the baptismal promises, contrition in terms of commitment to Christ, penance in Lenten preparation for the sacrament and absolution in the welcoming into the Church. Once Reconciliation of Penitents began to be celebrated in the second or third century the emphasis was on Penance. With the shift to private confession the emphasis was on the absolution or reconciliation. Hence the changes in the name of the sacrament over the centuries. Contrition, being an internal matter, has been constantly required whatever external form te hākarameta (the sacrament) took. ACHIEVEMENT AIMS In this topic students will gain and apply knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to understand: 1. That brokenness and sin destroy our relationship with Te Atua and one another. 3 2. That through the life, death and Resurrection of Hehu Karaiti, we are freed from the power of sin. 3. The importance given to healing and reconciliation in Scripture, in the life of the Church, and in our lives. ACHIEVEMENT OBJECTIVES Students will be able to: 1. Recognise the impact of sin in our world and understand its origins in the misuse of human freedom and the failure to love Te Atua and one another. 2. Develop an understanding of the deep human desire for wholeness, unity and peace and recognise ways in which forgiveness from sins is expressed in different cultures, including the Jewish tradition. 3. Understand that through his life, death and Te Aranga, Jesus freed people from the power of sin and offered them healing and reconciliation. 4. Recognise that Hehu instructed and empowered the Church to be a sign of his healing presence in the world, especially through the forgiveness of sins in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. 5. Develop an understanding of the present forms of the Rite of Reconciliation and their structure. 6. Identify ways in which they can bring Christ’s forgiveness to our world. CHURCH TEACHINGS AND LINKS WITH CHURCH DOCUMENTS Underpinning the six achievement objectives for the topic are important teachings of the Church. Where possible direct links with the Catechism of the Catholic Church have been established and quotations used to highlight the relationship between the various achievement objectives and the Church teachings that they embody. On occasions, other Church documents are referred to and quoted. In all cases the official translations of Church documents have been used, but where necessary changes have been made so that the language is gender inclusive. Achievement Objective 1 Students will be able to recognise the impact of sin in our world and understand its origins in the misuse of human freedom and the failure to love Te Atua and one another. Church Teaching • God is infinitely good and all God’s creation is good. 4 • Sin is an inescapable aspect of human experience which has been present from the beginning of human history. • Sin comes from the misuse of human freedom and the failure to love God and one another. • Scripture presents the consequences of the first sin in the Genesis account of Adam and Eve. • The first (original) sin destroyed the harmony of the relationships between humankind and God, humankind and creation, and among and within humankind themselves – it also brought death to the world. • Following the first sin, Scripture presents a world that is overtaken by sin. • Sin can express itself in words, actions or desires that damage our relationship with Te Atua, ourselves or other people. • Mortal sin involves a complete and deliberate turning away from God’s love and a total break in a person’s relationship with their Creator.

Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule Sankt Georgen, Frankfurt am Main, Germany [email protected] Abstract Johann Baptist Franzelin (1816–86), a Jesuit from South Tyrol, was an important sys- tematic theologian at the Collegio Romano. Against emerging neo-Scholasticism, he supported the growing awareness of the need for historical context and to see theo- logical doctrines in their development over time. He was an influential theologian at the First Vatican Council. Created cardinal by Pope Pius ix in 1876, he engaged in the work of the Roman Curia, for example against the German Kulturkampf and for the Third Plenary Council of the Catholic Church in the usa (Baltimore, 1884). This article provides an overview of Franzelin’s biography and analyzes his contributions to theol- ogy and church politics. Keywords Johann Baptist Franzelin – Jesuit cardinal – Collegio Romano – systematic theology – neo-Scholasticism – First Vatican Council – Kulturkampf – Roman Curia Johann Baptist Franzelin (1816–86) was an Austrian Jesuit cardinal, who is largely unknown today. However, working silently behind the scenes, he has arguably shaped the decisions of the First Vatican Council and of Roman theology in general as only few others did—just before the triumph of neo- Scholasticism changed the course of this theology dramatically. His life can be divided into two periods.

  • Most Reverend Adam Joseph Maida (1984-1990)
    Most Reverend Adam Joseph Maida (1984-1990) As former Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia of the Diocese of Green Bay, Monsignor Paul Koszarek wrote “Reflections on an Archbishop” when Bishop Adam Maida was appointed Archbishop of Detroit, Michigan by Pope John Paul II in late 1983. Among the unique characteristics he listed to describe the new archbishop of Detroit were the following: sought to communicate honestly and clearly the teaching and the traditions of the church, a community builder, conscious of the Spirit’s presence in each member of the church, sought out and promoted the gifts and talents of all, a good listener, invited the opinions and the advice of others, especially eager to hear from people who had ideas and opinions which differed from his, patient with processes that required extended consultation, and an usual ability to sift, to digest and summarize. When serving as the Vice-Chancellor of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Father Maida received a telephone call on October 31, 1983. He learned that Pope John Paul II would like him to become the next Bishop of the Diocese of Green Bay. He said, “It came like a bolt of lightning.” He agreed to accept the appointment to Green Bay and on November 8, 1983 the news was publicly released. Since he was not yet a Bishop, he would need to be ordained to the episcopate before he could be installed as the Ninth Bishop of Green Bay. Adam Maida was born on March 18, 1930 in East Vandergrift, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

  • The Augustinian Vol VII
    Online Supplement The Augustinian Vol VII . Issue I Fall 2012 Volume VII . Issue I The Augustinian Fall 2012 - Online Supplement Augustinian Cardinals Fr. Prospero Grech, O.S.A., was named by Pope Benedict XVI to the College of Cardinals on the Feast of the Epiphany, January 6, 2012. On February 18, 2012, when he received the red biretta, he joined the ranks of twelve other Augustinian Friars who have served as Cardinals. This line stretches back to 1378, when Bonaventura Badoardo da Padova, O.S.A., was named Cardinal, the first Augustinian Friar so honored. Starting with the current Cardinal, Prospero Grech, read a biographical sketch for each of the thirteen Augustinian Cardinals. Friars of the Province of Saint Thomas of Villanova Sebastiano Martinelli, O.S.A., the most recent Augustinian Cardinal prior to Cardinal Prospero Grech, O.S.A., served as Apostolic Delegate to the United States (1896 - 1902). While serving in this position, he made several trips to visit Augustinian sites. In 1897, while visiting Villanova, he was pho- tographed with the professed friars of the Province. Among these men were friars who served in leader- ship roles for the Province, at Villanova College, and in parishes and schools run by the Augustinians.

  • CURRENT THEOLOGY NOTES on MORAL THEOLOGY, 1953 GENERAL MORAL the Publication Last Year of Fr
    CURRENT THEOLOGY NOTES ON MORAL THEOLOGY, 1953 GENERAL MORAL The publication last year of Fr. Gérard Gilleman's solid treatise on the primacy of charity in moral theology evoked reviews and articles some of which enlarge on the shortcomings of present-day moral teaching, especially its exclusive preoccupation with sin and the limits of mortal sin.1 A certain E. R. finds it "astounding, not to say scandalous" that after twenty centuries of Christianity a work like Gilleman's should be necessary to counteract the casuistical, legalistic attitudes of moralists, to whom it has to be proved "in due form" that love is the soul of Christian morality.2 But it is thirty years since Vermeersch published his four-volume work and entitled it, Theologiae moralis principia response Consilia, and received the congratulations of the Holy See for stressing the counsels and the pursuit of perfection.8 Furthermore, a whole generation of moralists has grown up since Vermeersch's time, and has grown up acutely aware of the dangers of legalism and minimalism. Witness the numerous books and articles now­ adays on charity as the soul and groundwork of moral theology.4 The scholarly and enlightening essay of Fr. Gilleman is itself the product of a ferment that considerably antedates the impatient thrusts of later and less constructive critics. With this in mind one can view in better perspective and appraise with more balance books like Jacques Leclercq's on the teach­ ing of moral theology.5 The truth is that some of the shortcomings alluded to are understandable, and in fact unavoidable, given the practical scope to NOTE.—For the most part, the present notes are limited to the period covering Nov., 1952-Oct., 1953.
