Benjamin Lile It was a great joy to return home and have Deacon Shawn Polman preach his first weekend of Masses at St. Michael’s (and not just because I didn’t have to prepare a homily). I will connue to reflect on the simple yet profound point that he made—that consciousness of our own weakness leads to gratude, which then leads us to Mass, which is the perfect act of true thanksgiving. This is where the deepest happiness is to be found in life: when we abandon the faguing roune of self-reliance and acknowledge that we belong to another and rely upon Him for everything. Then going to Mass no longer feels like a burden. Then we seek out his mercy in the confessional with confidence (even if there is sll a bit of human anxiety). Then we will want to come to adore him in the Eucharist. Then we will have an overabundance of His Love in our hearts to share with those who are poor in any number of ways. A few days a er we le Rome, Pope Francis celebrated a Mass in St. Peter’s Square in which several holy souls were declared to be among the Communion of Saints. Most well-known among them was John Henry Cardinal Newman, the great Anglican convert to the Catholic Faith in 19th century England, named a Cardinal late in his life by Pope Leo XIII. Newman is a great hero of mine, as you well know. His life and legacy is worth studying. A special privilege of our pilgrimage was to celebrate Mass on our final day in Rome (October 9) in St. John Henry Newman’s tular church of San Giorgio in Velabro, which was just a couple blocks away from our hotel. For those who don’t know, every Cardinal of the Catholic Church is assigned a church in the city of Rome. Historically, the cardinals of the Church were the clergy of Rome itself, surrounding the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. This tradion allows the Cardinals around the world to symbolically connue that role.

  • 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. Who were these friars and where did they serve?

  • Influence of Joachim in the 13Th Century
    THE INFLUENCE OF JOACHIM IN THE 13TH CENTURY Frances Andrews The end of the 12th century was one of the periods of great eschatological potential in the medieval Latin west. In October 1187 Jerusalem was lost to a Kurdish sultan, Saladin, and the Crusade campaigns which followed were catastrophic. Tensions between the English and French crowns were at a peak, and in June 1190 the western Emperor, Frederick I Barbarossa, drowned in the river Göksu (Saleph) on his way to the Holy Land. Things were no better in the Iberian peninsula: in July 1195 the Almohad Muslim prince Ya ‘qub I al-Mansur (the victorious) defeated the Christian King Alfonso VIII of Castille at the Battle of Alarcos. It was against this unstable background that Joachim, in the preface to his Liber de Concordia, wrote of his self-chosen role in preparing the Church in the face of the enemy:1 Our [task] is to foresee wars, yours is to hasten to arms. It is for us to go up to the watchtower on the mountain and, having seen the enemy, to give warning; yours, having heard the signal, is to take refuge in safer places. We, although unworthy scouts, witnessed long ago that the said wars would come. Would that you were worthy soldiers of Christ! “Let 1 For a chronology of his works as then known, see Kurt-Victor Selge, “L’origine delle opere di Gioacchino da Fiore,” in L’attesa della fine dei tempi nel medioevo, eds.

  • 015-San Clemente
    (015/25) San Clemente al Laterano The Basilica of San Clemente is an early 12th century minor basilica, a titular and conventual church built on top of the ruins of a late 4th century church, itself on top of important ancient Roman remains. The church is in rione Monte, between the Coliseum and San Giovanni in Laterano. The dedication is to Pope St Clement I. [1] History The present church was built around 1100. Below it is a 4th century church, and below that are two ancient Roman edifices. One of these is a Roman building in which it is traditionally believed that Christians worshipped until the 4th century church was built. [1] The 19th century excavations under the church uncovered a pagan temple, a Mithraeum or Temple of Mithras which belonged to one of many 1st century mystery religions in competition with Christianity in Rome. Next to this were the remains of a very solid structure, which they identified as the palazzo of Titus Flavius Clemens. Modern archaeologists now suspect this edifice was not a private dwelling, but might have been the Moneta (or Imperial mint for coinage). There is evidence of substantial alteration to this in the 3rd century, which modern publications suggest might have been as a result of conversion to Christian use. [1] 4th Century Lower Basilica The first possible documentary evidence of the basilica comes from the pontificate of Pope Siricius (384– 399), when a church dedicated to St Clement is mentioned. This accords with the epigraphical evidence discovered in the ruined basilica, although some scholars would prefer a slightly later date in the early 5th century.

  • The Papal Chapel 1288–1304: a Study in Institutional and Cultural Change
    THE PAPAL CHAPEL 1288–1304: A STUDY IN INSTITUTIONAL AND CULTURAL CHANGE MATTHEW DAVID ROSS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 2013 I, Matthew Ross, 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. 2 ABSTRACT This project is a study of the structure and personnel of the papal chapel, and the administrative, governmental, legal and cultural activities of papal chaplains in the period 1288–1304. It is based on a new repertory of the collective biographies of papal chaplains compiled for this project, and comprises detailed analysis of this biographical repertory and of information on papal chaplains from the papal curia’s administrative and financial sources, new research concerning papal chaplains’ function in cardinals’ wills and as testators themselves, a comparison of the papal chapel with its contemporary counterpart at the English royal court – the chapel royal – and discussion of papal chaplains’ cultural activities and their role in the production of a curial court culture. It combines two broad approaches. On the one hand, it aims to clarify the administrative and economic structure of the papal chapel and establish the collective biographies of the papal chaplains themselves in the period 1288–1304. On the other, it uses this constitutional, economic and socio-demographic analysis as context for comparison with the English chapel royal and for discussion of the papal chapel’s cultural history in the same period. New information is brought to light on the role of the Roman schola cantorum in the papal chapel, on the history of honorary papal chaplains, on papal chaplains’ musical function, and on the differing course and impact of constitutional rationalisation in the papal chapel and English chapel royal.

The Earls’ tomb stones are on the left of the nave immediately before the principal altar. This Church was Cardinal Paul Cullen’s titular church. Santo Stefano Rotondo is the round Church located on the street of the same name where Donatus O’Brien the son of Brian Boru is buried. It is ten minutes walk from Villa Irlanda. San Isidoro, Via degli Artisti 41 (near Piazza Berberini), has been home to the Irish Franciscans since the seventeenth century. The only Irishman believed to have received votes in a papal election and co-founder of the Irish College is buried before the main alter in the Chapel. One of the side chapels is by Bernini. The Chapel of San Columbanus is dedicated to the most celebrated Irish Saint in Italy and is located in the crypt under St Peter’s Basilica near the tomb of St Peter. Sant Agata dei Goti was the home to the Irish College for over a century. It is located on Via Mazzerino, 16 (near Via Nazionale) and contains depictions of several Irish Saints. It was Cardinal John D’Alton’s titular Church. St Patrick’s Church, Via Buoncompagni, 31 (near Via Veneto) is the home of the Irish Augustinian community in Rome. It was the titular Church of several Irish Cardinals, including Cardinal William Conway, Cardinal Tomás O Fiach and Cardinal Cahal Daly.
