ST. JOSEPH PARISH AURORA What changed when Christ entered the January 1, 2021 world? The Solemnity of Mary Holy Day of Obligation While the majority of the Jewish people eventually converted to Christianity, (Rodney Masses: Stark, The Rise of Christianity,49), there were those who said that Jesus did not fulfill the Thursday, December 31 promises of the Messiah. They say he was 5:00PM supposed to be a victorious king, but he was killed by the Romans. They say that he was to establish peace in Friday, January 1 the world, but there is still war. They say that he was to establish 9:00AM a new kingdom in Israel, but instead Jerusalem was destroyed. So what did Jesus’ coming really accomplish? Please join us as we start the new Darkness and death are no longer the end, but rather life and love year honoring the Blessed Mother. conquer them in the Resurrection. As Paul quotes Isaiah 25:8 so beautifully "Death has been swallowed up in victory. “At the beginning of a new year, Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" the Church invites us to contemplate Mary’s divine maternity (1 Corinthians 15:54-55) Our estrangement from God is overcome by the obedient love as an icon of peace.” of Jesus Christ. Pope Francis, Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, January 1, 2016 The coming of the Holy Spirit for all believers allows us to know God intimately and not just through texts and sacrifices. While the Spirit came to select prophets, now the Spirit is unleashed on all believers who are open to his Presence.

  • Prudentius of Troyes (D. 861) and the Reception of the Patristic Tradition in the Carolingian Era
    Prudentius of Troyes (d. 861) and the Reception of the Patristic Tradition in the Carolingian Era by Jared G. Wielfaert A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Jared Wielfaert 2015 Prudentius of Troyes (d. 861) and the Reception of the Patristic Tradition in the Carolingian Era Jared Gardner Wielfaert Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2015 ABSTRACT: This study concerns Prudentius, bishop of Troyes (861), a court scholar, historian, and pastor of the ninth century, whose extant corpus, though relatively extensive, remains unstudied. Born in Spain in the decades following the Frankish conquest of the Spanish march, Prudentius had been recruited to the Carolingian court under Louis the Pious, where he served as a palace chaplain for a twenty year period, before his eventual elevation to the see of Troyes in the 840s. With a career that moved from the frontier to the imperial court center, then back to the local world of the diocese and environment of cathedral libraries, sacred shrines, and local care of souls, the biography of Prudentius provides a frame for synthesis of several prevailing currents in the cultural history of the Carolingian era. His personal connections make him a rare link between the generation of the architects of the Carolingian reforms (Theodulf and Alcuin) and their students (Rabanus Maurus, Prudentius himself) and the great period of fruition of which the work of John Scottus Eriugena is the most widely recogized example. His involvement in the mid-century theological controversy over the doctrine of predestination illustrates the techniques and methods, as well as the concerns and preoccupations, of Carolingian era scholars engaged in the consolidation and interpretation of patristic opinion, particularly, that of Augustine.

  • Bulletin of Medieval Canon
    BULLETIN OF MEDIEVAL CANON LAW NEW SERIES VOLUME 12 Published by THE INSTITUTE OF MEDIEVAL CANON LAW BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA 1982 Raymond of Pesiafort as editor: The 'decretaIes' and 'constitutiones' of Gregory IX In memory of Orio Giacchi At a time when the making of a new Code of Canon Law is underway and has been for many years the concern of canonists from all corners of the globe, it is always of particular interest to look into the past and see how the generations before us handled the task of recognitio - that twofold task of restating and reforming the law. The writer of the present pages has shared with the friend and colleague to whose memory they are dedicated the fascinating experience of laboring as consultores on the drafts of the new law to come." It seems there- fore quite fitting if in these pages I attempt to trace some details of the labors of another draftsman, one whose work had an immense importance in the history of canon law: St. Raymond of Peiiafort who some seven-hundred-fifty years ago undertook at Pope Gregory IX's request to make a new and definitive Book of Decretals out of the collections then in use for the body of papal rulings that had grown during the formative period of almost a century after Gratian. I It is common knowledge that Raymond was authorized by his papal master to suppress, shorten, and revise any text found in the Compilationes aniiquae. Scholars have been interested ever since the sixteenth century in identifying those alterations: from Le Conte in 1570 to Friedberg in 1881, editors of the authoritative text of Gregory's Decretales undertook more or less successfully to combine it with a reconstruction of each chapter by inserting, wherever pos- sible, with different type faces the words, sentences and paragraphs omitted by Raymond from his sources (partes decisae) or even from the sources of his sources.

In the Roman Catholic Church, this phenomenon seemed to become more apparent following the promulgation of the documents resulting from the Second Vatican Council. Harkening to the Voices of the Lost Ones invites the reader to enter into the experiences of baptized Roman Catholics who, for whatever reason, no longer participate in the worship and community life of the Roman Catholic Church. Not wanting to presume the reasons leading to this phenomenon, I believe that it is essential to listen attentively to the lived experiences if effective outreach ministry is going to be offered to those who have withdrawn from the Church.

  • Papal Overlordship and Protectio of the King, C.1000-1300
    1 PAPAL OVERLORDSHIP AND PROTECTIO OF THE KING, c.1000-1300 Benedict Wiedemann UCL Submitted for the degree of PhD in History 2017 2 I, Benedict Wiedemann, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Papal Overlordship and Protectio of the King, c.1000-1300 Abstract This thesis focuses on papal overlordship of monarchs in the middle ages. It examines the nature of alliances between popes and kings which have traditionally been called ‘feudal’ or – more recently – ‘protective’. Previous scholarship has assumed that there was a distinction between kingdoms under papal protection and kingdoms under papal overlordship. I argue that protection and feudal overlordship were distinct categories only from the later twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Before then, papal-royal alliances tended to be ad hoc and did not take on more general forms. At the beginning of the thirteenth century kingdoms started to be called ‘fiefs’ of the papacy. This new type of relationship came from England, when King John surrendered his kingdoms to the papacy in 1213. From then on this ‘feudal’ relationship was applied to the pope’s relationship with the king of Sicily. This new – more codified – feudal relationship seems to have been introduced to the papacy by the English royal court rather than by another source such as learned Italian jurists, as might have been expected. A common assumption about how papal overlordship worked is that it came about because of the active attempts of an over-mighty papacy to advance its power for its own sake.

  • Relative to the Religious Concerns of Their Roman Cathol
    OBSERVATIONS ON THE LAWS AND ORDINANCES WHICH EXIST IN FOREIGN STATES, RELATIVE TO Ob' THEIR ROMAN CATHOLIC SUBJECTS BY THE REV. JOHN LINGARD, D.D. (ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN 1817.) LONDON : CHARLES DOLMAN, 61, NEW BOND STREET, AND 48* PATER NOSTER ROW. 1851. Printed T. bj Booker, 9, Rupert Street, Leicester Square. ADVERTISEMENT. IT is the peculiar characteristic of the warfare which is directed against the Catholic Church, that its combatants remember nothing which they should know, and forget nothing which it would be more wise, if not more honourable, to banish from their recollection. They move for ever in the same circle : they return again and again to the same manoeuvres; and, however they may have been previously discomfited or defeated, they advance, at intervals, by the same ap- proaches, to make the same attacks in which they have so constantly been repulsed. We have an instance of this, at the present moment, in the repro- duction, by order of the House of Commons, of the Report of a Com- " mittee originally drawn up in 1816, on the Laws and Ordinances of Foreign States, regulating the intercourse between their Roman Catholic Subjects and the See of Rome." So far back as the year 1812, it had become evident, from the growing liberality of the age, and the increased importance of the Catholic body, that the time was approaching when the removal of all civil disabilities, on the score of effected with a to religion, must be ; and, view, therefore, prepare itself to legislate on the subject, the government, through Lord Castlereagh, and at the instigation, if not at the suggestion, of Sir John Cox Hippisley, instructed the English ministers, accredited to foreign courts, to ascertain the precise regulations by which the Catholics, in the several states of Europe, were governed in ecclesias- tical matters, and to transmit the information, when obtained, to the authorities at home.

  • THE EUCHARIST and CANON LAW in the HIGH MIDDLE AGES Ian
    THE EUCHARIST AND CANON LAW IN THE HIGH MIDDLE AGES Ian Christopher Levy All of the Christian sacraments pertain in one form or another to the Church. Sacraments have no natural place outside of this sacred com- munity. There is never any sense in which a person can really be said to receive or administer a sacrament alone; there is always the larger body of Christ to consider. Hence it is only natural that canon law, which is itself designed to bring rational order to the life of the Church, would devote a good deal of space to the Holy Eucharist, itself the preemi- nent Christian sacrament, and absolutely integral to the very life of the Church. So central was the Eucharist to the sense of Catholic identity and community that refusal to communicate at major feast days was regarded as nothing less than a rejection of the Church herself. Given the centrality of this sacrament, therefore, the principal concern of the canon law collections was to ensure that the Mass was properly cele- brated. As they sifted through the materials at their disposal—patristic quotations, conciliar decisions, papal rescripts—the compilers of these collections, and the lawyers who later commented upon them, were concerned above all else with practical matters. In that sense, theology was not their chief concern, although some rather sophisticated theol- ogy could be employed at times in order to resolve difficult practical problems. Actually, we shall see that by the late twelfth century the canon lawyers were taking full advantage of the progress being made in the theological schools.
