  • The Glorious Reformation
    The Glorious Reformation by S. S. SCHMUCKER, D. D. Discourse in Commemoration of the Glorious Reformation of the Sixteenth Century; delivered before the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of West Pennsylvania, by the Rev. S. S. Schmucker, D.D., Professor of Theology in the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg; pp. 131. 18 mo. Published by Gould and Newman. 1838. The learned author begins with a brief view of the reign of Popery, before the dawn of the Reformation. And surely, were our fellow citizens better acquainted with this painful history of the Dark Ages of idolatry, superstition, despotism, and ferocious cruelty, which may be justly called the ages of legalized murder and rapinc by priests, they would not show so much loving- kindness to this system, perpetuated to this day, in popery. Our author, next, gives a brief and eloquent history of the rise, spread, and triumph of the blessed Reformation. The way being thus prepared, he presents to us, the prominent features of this glorious work, and its blessed results. First. It gives us free access to the uncorrupted fountains of truth and duty--God's Holy Word, as the only infallible standard of faith and practice. Second. It has delivered the church from a multitude of doctrinal and practical corruptions. Third. It has given us liberty of conscience, and freedom from religious persecution. Fourth. It has delivered the civil government of the countries which had embraced it, from papal tyranny, and it has given a new impulse to civil liberty, which has been felt in every country of Europe. Each of these grand leading topics is discussed with the well known ability of Professor Schmucker.

  • The First Witnesses Martha, Longinus and Veronica in the Slavic
    http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2084-140X.01.07 Studia Ceranea 1, 2011, p. 101-126 Małgorzata Skowronek (Łódź) The First Witnesses. Martha, Longinus and Veronica in the Slavic Manuscript Tradition (Initial Observations) The objective of the following study is to trace the fate – as it is related in the lit- erature of the Orthodox Slavs – of three characters known to us from Early Christian sources . The first of them appears under her own name in the canonical Gospels, where the second is also referred to (albeit rather imprecisely, and anonymously), while the third – originally a legendary figure – became ‘canonical’ though identifica- tion with another anonymous character from the New Testament . The material which we shall utilize to portray those three characters com- prises literary texts written hundreds of years apart, from the Ancient Christian times (2nd–3rd centuries) until the close of the Middle Ages (the Tale of Martha – 15th century) and originating from diverse cultural milieus . From among those that are employed in liturgy, we may mention the ‘microgenre’ of the sticheron (a verse sung during service conveying the fundamental significance of the li- turgical holiday), the so-called ‘short’ or ‘prologue’ lives of saints (found in the menologia in chronological order), the ‘extended’ lives (vita, gesta, enriching the factual material with rhetorical elements) and the passions (passio) . Another, lower register of the medieval system of genres is comprised by the customarily more popular texts such as the ‘tales’ (known as slovo, literally ‘word’, in the Slavic literary tradition and occasionally approximating the gesta: ‘story’ or narratio) and the legends, both genres incorporated and adapted into official texts .

  • Pourquoi La Contre-Réforme?
    L'art et la Contre Réforme En savoir plus sur www.laculturegenerale.com/contre-reforme-catholique-definition/ | La culture générale Pourquoi la Contre-Réforme? Face au protestantisme : l’urgence de la réforme de l’Église. Le défi du protestantisme impose à l’Eglise de Rome de se réformer. Là encore, l’Empereur Charles Quint joue un rôle clé, puisqu’il appelle à un concile œcuménique dès les années 1530. Le Pape Paul III (1534 – 1549) publie une bulle d’indiction en 1542 et ouvre finalement le concile en 1545 à Trente, en Italie du nord. Il a pour but d’apporter une réponse aux problèmes théologiques et liturgiques soulevés par la Réforme mais aussi d’améliorer la discipline de l’Église. Toutefois, l’implication du clergé varie grandement en fonction du pays. Les prélats italiens et espagnols sont surreprésentés, à l’inverse des Français, absents durant les premières sessions du concile. Celui-ci ne prend fin qu’en 1563. Les options adoptées sont résolument conservatrices : les vérités du catholicisme sont réaffirmées. L’Église défend ses positions traditionnelles sur le péché originel, la rémission des péchés, le culte de la Vierge Marie et des saints, les sept sacrements ou encore la transsubstantiation du Christ. Renforcer la discipline du clergé En revanche, des mesures plus novatrices sont prises pour résoudre les problèmes disciplinaires que l’on observait avant le concile. Le pouvoir des évêques est renforcé tout comme leurs obligations. Ils doivent ainsi être présents dans leur diocèse qu’il leur appartient de gérer méticuleusement. Consigne leur est également donnée de visiter toutes les paroisses sous leur autorité afin d’y faire respecter une discipline ecclésiastique stricte.

  • Testament of Longinus
    John, Here’s a scan of that book I was telling you about. I think, after some consideration, it probably falls into your department rather than mine. I can’t imagine it’s anything other than a hoax, although it’s an undeniably fascinating hoax. Not only do we have in this strange little book a fictional piece of pseudepigraphia, but it’s accompanied by this weird bogus scholarship, as if a small committee really had thrashed out a new translation of some religious text that had never existed, in which the central messianic figure was not Jesus Christ but Saint Longinus, the centurion who in the stories thrust the spear into Christ’s side. I am sure that you’re familiar with that Borges story where they find a single copy of an encyclopedia that has an inexplicable extra entry about a country that does not exist? I feel like I have stumbled upon that book myself. It was mis-shelved in the university library when I found it. In the Greek Loebs, between Polybius and Polycrates, looking really out of place among those tatty little green hardbacks. I have it on my desk here, and the lettering on the front and spine says the title: Testament of Longinus. It didn’t have a number or a label. It looks like a small press piece, or maybe one of those new print-on-demand books. The publication date is given as last year. But it wasn’t a university acquisition. I thought about handing it in at the desk, should have done that, but..

  • Sovereign of Art: the Role of Light in Selected Works by Gianlorenzo Bernini
    Sovereign of Art: The Role of Light in Selected Works by Gianlorenzo Bernini Alexander Schneiderman In the history of Italian art, no artist has so fully embodied the spirit of his age as Gianlorenzo Bernini did with the Baroque. Through his sculpture, architecture, and urban planning, Bernini radically transformed the fabric of both the city of Rome and the Italian artistic tradition. However, while his works on the urban scale (e.g. Piazza San Pietro, Sant’Andrea al Quirinale, the fountains of Piazza Navona) are breathtaking in their grandeur, some of the most powerful effects of his works come in conversation with the smaller, more personal of them: the sculptures which populate all corners of Rome. These works, often of human scale, live in all manners of residence, from otherwise forgotten family chapels to crowded museums, but they all share one thing in common: the life breathed into them by their creator that still enthralls visitors 400 years later. One of Bernini’s most powerful tools in creating these masterpieces, of equal importance to the marble itself, is the light which illuminates them, which Bernini sculpted with equal skill to capture the spirit of the divine which permeates his works. Light has, since antiquity, been associated with the divine. Sun worship dates back to at least ancient Egypt, if not further, and even just looking at the Judeo-Christian faiths, the concepts of God and light have been tied together ever since He said “Let there be light.” Since then, light as symbol of divinity has been present in one form or another in most works of Christian art, from the ever-present halo depicted in painting to the light of revelation described in countless written works.

  • Entry Into the Sacred Heart Is for Everyone
    Entry into the Sacred Heart is for Everyone March 2009 Dear Friends of the Heart of Christ, There is a scene in The Passion of the Christ movie that gives me much thought for this Lenten Sacred Heart reflection. On Mount Calvary at the time when Jesus dies for us, one of the soldiers present takes his long spear and thrusts it into the ribs of Christ-aiming right for his heart. Jesus seems to have expired and this will not leave any doubt. Gathering storm clouds urge him on for he does not want to be caught in the violent winds and rains that have begun to pelt him. Recall the characters played by the soldiers and the terrible sufferings they wreck on Jesus. They are portrayed as heartless, mocking, crude, there to do a job and be over with it. Inflicting suffering on others makes them feel powerful, in control, dominant. As the centurion takes his long, steel-tipped spear and jabs it into the flesh of the dead Christ, a stream of blood and water literally flies out at him spurting over him into his face and eyes. In an instant he is changed. He is no longer the arrogant, jesting, hard-hearted person he was but is transformed both physically and spiritually. He thus proclaims, “In truth this man was the Son of God.” Tradition has named this soldier Longinus-a latinized form of the Greek word longche which means spear. A statue of him as Saint Longinus appears in the Vatican by the famous artist Bernini.

  • 127-San Pietro in Vaticano.Pages
    Saint Peter’s Basilica Vatican City The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri), officially known in Italian as the Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano and commonly known as Saint Peter's Basilica, is located within the Vatican City. Saint Peter's Basilica has the largest interior of any Christian church in the world, holding 60,000 people. It is the symbolic "Mother church" of the Catholic Church and is regarded as one of the holiest Christian sites. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world" and as "the greatest of all churches of Christendom". In Catholic tradition, it is the burial site of its namesake Saint Peter, who was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and, according to tradition, first Bishop of Rome and therefore first in the line of the papal succession. Tradition and some historical evidence hold that Saint Peter's tomb is directly below the altar of the basilica. For this reason, many Popes have been interred at St Peter's since the Early Christian period. There has been a church on this site since the 4th century. Construction of the present basilica, over the old Constantinian basilica, began on April 18, 1506 and was completed on November 18, 1626. Saint Peter's is famous as a place of pilgrimage, for its liturgical functions and for its historical associations. It is associated with the papacy, with the Counter-reformation and with numerous artists, most significantly Michelangelo. As a work of architecture, it is regarded as the greatest building of its age.

  • Exposition Relics of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ
    Good Friday Exposition Relics of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception Washington, D.C. 2 The Veneration of Relics as stipulated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), is an acceptable form of devotion and piety. Veneration of relics, visits to shrines, pilgrimages, processions, and the Stations of the Cross are forms of piety in which religious belief finds a form of expression that surrounds the sacramental life of the Church (CCC, 1674). These expressions of piety extend the liturgical life of the Church but do not replace it. Derived from the liturgy, they are to “harmonize with the liturgical seasons;” and lead the faithful back to the liturgy (CCC, 1675). “At its core the piety of the people is a storehouse of values that offers answers of Christian wisdom to the great questions of life. The Catholic wisdom of the people ... creatively combines the divine and the human, Christ and Mary, spirit and body, communion and institution, person and community, faith and homeland, intelligence and emotion.” (CELAM, Third General Conference, Puebla, 1979, Final Document # 448 (tr. NCCB, 1979); cf. Paul VI, EN 48.) In the early Church, the veneration of the relics of the suffering and death of Our Lord, was central to the observances of Holy Week at Jerusalem and the practice of pilgrimage. The relics of the passion, death, and burial of Jesus are the “first” relics of the Church and are considered to be of the “first class” because of the resurrection and ascension of Our Lord.
