Peter Canisius and the Protestants a Model of Ecumenical Dialogue?
journal of jesuit studies 1 (2014) 373-399 brill.com/jjs Peter Canisius and the Protestants A Model of Ecumenical Dialogue? Hilmar M. Pabel Department of History, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada [email protected] Abstract Some modern interpreters have incorrectly suggested that Peter Canisius was an ecumenist before his time. Their insistence on his extraordinary kindness towards Protestants does not stand the test of the scrutiny of the relevant sources. An analysis of Canisius’s advice on how Jesuits should deal with “heretics” in Germany, of his catechisms, and of his polemical works reveals a typical Catholic controversialist of the Reformation era. Canisius was disposed to display hostility, more than good will, to Protestants. Keywords Peter Canisius – Protestants – Reformation – apologetics Introduction: The Celebration of a Saint Peter Canisius’s path to canonization was a long one. He died in 1597. The for- mal ecclesiastical process to declare him a saint began in 1625, but his beatifica- tion, solemnly pronounced by Pope Pius IX, had to wait until 1864.1 In Militantis ecclesiae (1897), Pope Leo XIII marked the 300th anniversary of Canisius’s death by hailing him as “the second apostle of Germany.” St. Boniface, the eighth- century Anglo-Saxon missionary, was the first. Pius XI not only canonized Canisius in 1925; he also declared him a doctor of the universal church.2 This 1 Forian Rieß, Der selige Petrus Canisius aus der Gesellschaft Jesu (Freiburg im Breisgau: Herder, 1865), 552, 554. 2 Otto Braunsberger, “Sanctus Petrus Canisius Doctor Ecclesiae,” Gregorianum 6 (1925): 338. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2014 | doi 10.1163/22141332-00103002Downloaded from Brill.com09/26/2021 04:37:36AM via free access <UN> 374 Pabel was a rare distinction, as Yves de la Brière reported two weeks later in the Jesuit journal Études. -

THE REAL PRESENCE of CHRIST's BODY and BLOOD in the LORD's SUPPER: Contemporary Issues Concerning the Sacramental Union
THE REAL PRESENCE OF CHRIST'S BODY AND BLOOD IN THE LORD'S SUPPER: Contemporary Issues Concerning The Sacramental Union The great importance of the Lord's Supper is indicated by the fact that it is one of the few events of our Savior’s ministry which is recorded four times in the Holy Scriptures. Literally translated, these passages read: Matthew 26:26-28 jEsqiovntwn de; aujtw'n labw;n oJ jIhsou'" a[rton kai; eujloghvsa" e[klasen kai; dou;" toi'" maqhtai'" ei\pen: lavbete favgete, tou'to ejstin to; sw'ma mou. kai; labw;n pothvrion kai; eujcaristhvsa" e[dwken aujtoi'" levgwn: pivete ejx aujtou' pavnte", tou'to gavr ejstin to; ai|ma mou th'" diaqhvkh" to; peri; pollw'n 1 ejkcunnovmenon eij" a[fesin aJmartiw'n. While they were eating, Jesus, after he had taken bread and blessed [it], he broke [it] and, after he had given [it] to the disciples, he said, "Take, eat. This is my body.” And after he had taken a cup and given thanks, he gave [it] to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for many unto the forgiveness of sins.

A Study of the Idea of the VERBAL INSPIRATION OP the SCRIPTURES
A Study of the Idea of THE VERBAL INSPIRATION OP THE SCRIPTURES with special reference to. the Reformers and Post-Reformation Thinkers of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Divinity of the University of Edinburgh in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree. Allan Andrew Zaun, B.A., B.D- May 15,1937 PREFACE. At the outset of this study it will be well to define terms. By "verbal Inspiration11 we mean the theory which main tains that in the process of recording the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit Himself selected the very words which the writers used. In the same sense that Milton is the author of Paradise Lost, the Holy Spirit is held to be the author of Scripture. Whether communicated by suggestion or actual dictation, the words of the text are the exact words, and no other, which God wished to have employed. The form, as well as the content, is liter ally given by Gk>d. This, briefly, is the verbal theory. We recognize the intimate, but not absolutely inseparable, con nection between thought and language. To the extent that words can be an adequate expression of the thought, Inspiration is verbal; however, the classic formulation of the doctrine, in its insistence upon dictation and verbal inerrancy, introduced mechanical features with which many scholars today cannot find themselves in full agreement. In the Reformation and post-Reformation periods we are confining our study principally to the dogmaticians of Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands; nq attempt has been made to trace the development of the doctrine in England and Scotland, which, however, were profoundly influenced by the Genevan Reformation. -

The Impact of the Reformation on Finland from the Perspective of Finnish Students at Wittenberg University (1531–1633)
Finnish-German Yearbook of Political Economy, vol. 2 (2019) 157 Finnish-German Yearbook The Impact of the Reformation on Finland from the Perspective of Finnish Students at Wittenberg University (1531–1633) Jyrki Knuutila University of Helsinki, Vuorikatu 3, FI-00014 Helsinki, Finland [email protected] Abstract: The question concerning the effect of the Reformation on Finland will be considered from the perspective of Finnish undergraduates who studied at the University of Wittenberg during the era of Reformation. This period can be defined as the years between 1531 and 1633, based on the number of undergraduates. Most of the 56 Finns who studied there during this period were theologians. However, among these students here were also the sons of noble families. Wittenberg lost its popularity during the 1560s–1590s but regained it during the 1600s–1630s. However, later its importance faded on account of the Thirty Years’ War. The students from noble families used the skills of their theoretical education in the service of the Swedish administration. The theologians, for their part, were able to promote the dissemination of the ideas of the Reformation in their homeland by spreading what they had learned in Wittenberg. 1. Why choose the perspective of Wittenberg University? The Finnish Reformer Mikael Agricola studied at Wittenberg from autumn 1536 to early May 1539. Following in Luther’s and Melanchthon’s footsteps, he received his master’s degree. He was not the only Finnish student during the era of Reformation, however. Founded in 1502, the University of Wittenberg became a significant centre of study for students © 2019 Verlag Holler, München.
