  • Institute of Legal Executives Criminal Law Examiner's
    Subject 23 INSTITUTE OF LEGAL EXECUTIVES CRIMINAL LAW EXAMINER’S REPORT – AUTUMN 2007 Comments on Overall performance There were some very good responses to some of the questions, but the standard of exam performance was mixed. The issue of poor time management affected candidates performance. It was not unusual for candidates to leave too little time for the fourth question, or even not do a fourth question at all. Pleasingly, the allocation of the burden of proof (Woolmington) was rarely mistaken. There were, however, centres where all candidates failed, and where scripts contained no, or very little, relevant case law. General Advice to Candidates In your revision, learn the law AND the relevant authority AT THE SAME TIME. Let the cases guide your knowledge and understanding. It is hard work, but find time to practise writing exam question answers in timed conditions to reflect on what you can write (and how well) in a mere 45 minutes. If you then mark it yourself, a few days later, you will learn a lot about your exam technique (use these examiner’s reports too). Underline case names please. PART A Question 1 Suggested Answer (a) (i) Section 18. The actus reus should be established quickly. X has caused (the question makes this clear) really serious harm (Smith) and HIV+ was confirmed in Dica to be sufficiently serious. The mens rea is less likely though. X’s lies to Y may affect her capacity to give informed consent to sex (Dica) but are unlikely to mean he aimed for her to get HIV+.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • THE REFORMATION in LEICESTER and LEICESTERSHIRE, C.1480–1590 Eleanor Hall
    THE REFORMATION IN LEICESTER AND LEICESTERSHIRE, c.1480–1590 Eleanor Hall Since its arrival in England, never did Christianity undergo such a transformation as that of the Reformation. By the end of the sixteenth century the official presence of Catholicism had almost entirely disappeared in favour of Protestantism, the permanent establishment of which is still the institutional state religion. This transformation, instigated and imposed on the population by a political elite, had a massive impact on the lives of those who endured it. In fact, the progression of these religious developments depended on the compliance of the English people, which in some regions was often absent. Indeed, consideration must be given to the impact of the Reformation on these localities and social groups, in which conservatism and nostalgia for the traditional faith remained strong. In spite of this, the gradual acceptance of Protestantism by the majority over time allowed its imposition and the permanent establishment of the Church of England. Leicestershire is a county in which significant changes took place. This paper examines these changes and their impact on, and gradual acceptance by, the various religious orders, secular clergy, and the laity in the town and county. Important time and geographical comparisons will be drawn in consideration of the overall impact of the Reformation, and the extent to which both clergy and laity conformed to the religious changes imposed on them, and managed to retain their religious devotion in the process. INTRODUCTION The English Reformation is one of the periods in history that attracts a high level of interest and debate.

While there has long been discontent with the current position, I argue that proposals to deal with this issue in relation to the mens rea are inadequate, and that a more consistent approach to this problem can only be developed by exploring the place of knowledge of the law as an autonomous concept from mens rea.

  • Policy on Sexual Misconduct on the Part of the Church Personnel of the Archdiocese of San Antonio (Revised October 2003)
    Policy on Sexual Misconduct on the Part of the Church Personnel of the Archdiocese of San Antonio (Revised October 2003) The Catholic Church expects its personnel to live chaste and moral lives, respecting in every way the gift of sexuality. Inappropriate sexual activity of any type abuses the call to ministry, the power and authority of the pastoral role of all who work for and serve the people of God. Thus, sexual misconduct by church personnel of the Archdiocese of San Antonio is contrary to Christian morals, canon law and in some cases civil law. It is obviously outside the scope of the duties of church ministry and employment for all personnel of the Archdiocese, its parishes, schools and other agencies, and will not under any circumstances be tolerated. It is imperative that all personnel of the Archdiocese, its parishes, schools and other agencies comply with all applicable church, federal, state, and local laws regarding incidents of actual, alleged or suspected sexual misconduct, and with the procedures outlined in this document. Sexual abuse is a transgression of canon, civil, and criminal law. A violation of the criminal law of the State of Texas can subject the perpetrator to a prison sentence and/or fine. An act of sexual abuse can also be the basis for a civil suit for monetary damages. To assist in the implementation of this policy, the Archbishop has established a Crisis Intervention Committee, which will act immediately on any complaint to the Archdiocese of sexual misconduct on the part of church personnel. The Archdiocese has also established a Review Board to review policies and procedures.

    Ruben Suykerbuyk - 9789004433106 Downloaded from Brill.com09/26/2021 09:24:42AM via free access Chapter 5 Parish Liturgy Before it became a pilgrimage destination, Saint Leonard’s church was first and foremost the seat of the parish of Zoutleeuw. As the smallest unit in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, the parish was the level on which Christians practiced and experienced religion on a daily basis. From an administrative point of view, parishes were defined as territorial entities, but they were in fact constituted by the com- munity of its inhabitants, especially in smaller towns or rural areas. Parishioners – the churchwardens among them – had the respon- sibility to care for their weakest neighbors and contribute to the maintenance of the religious infrastructure. Such commitments often ‘fostered a sense of belonging and ownership in the parish community’.1 Its material exponent was the parish church, often the largest stone building, and both literally and figuratively the center of the town. The church was the framework for the proper adminis- tration of the sacraments. Key moments in parishioners’ lives were ritually celebrated here (fig. 80), from baptism of new-born children and their subsequent confirmation and participation in commu- nion at Mass, over marriage, to funeral rites and burial after having received the last rites by the parish priest.2 The stories chaplain Munters recorded in his diary show that, during the sixteenth century, many of these communal rites of pas- sage were subjected to great pressure. Protestants started question- ing and taunting not just religious images, pilgrimages and miracles, but also the core elements of the parish liturgy.

  • The Word They Still Shall Let Remain
    The Word they still shall let remain: A Reformation pop-up exhibit This exhibit marks the 500th anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation in Europe. We invite you to explore different perspectives on the Reformation, including the impact of print in producing the German, Swiss, radical, and English reform movements, as well as the response from the Catholic Church and the political ramifications of reform. Indulgences granted by several Popes of Rome in the several churches of Rome collected by William Crashaw in Fiscus Papalis, 1621. V.a.510(8), fol. 1-2v In 1095, Pope Urban II first introduced indulgences as pardons for sin to entice fighters to join the crusades. Later, these ephemeral sheets of forgiveness were granted for completed pilgrimages, for purchase to release souls from purgatory (the doctrine itself authorized in 1439), and were sold to cover sins during life out of the “Treasury of Merits,” a spiritual coffer that contained redemption through the deaths of martyrs and Christ. Rome officially announced the sale of indulgences in exchange for pardon of sin in 1476, 41 years before the 95 Theses. Pope Leo X provided the bishopric of Mainz to Albrecht of Brandenburg and then allowed him to sell indulgences to pay back personal debts. Indulgences are granted to this day for receiving Holy Communion, reciting the rosary, the exercise of the Stations of the Cross and reading scripture, among other acts. Here we see a manuscript account of the various indulgences offered and received, copied from Crashaw’s Fiscus Papalis and provides information on the amount of time remitted from purgatory.

  • Faculties of the Diocese of GF-B/Request for Permission
    CANONICAL FACULTIES Faculties of Pastors Diocese of Great Falls-Billings FACULTIES OF PASTORS 1. a. To baptize an adult or admit a baptized adult into full communion with the Catholic church. (The law itself grants the additional faculty to confirm the candidate during these rites.) b. To admit into full communion and to confirm an adult who has been baptized in the Latin Catholic church but was brought up in or adhered to a non-Catholic religion. c. To administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to a baptized adult Latin Catholic who has completed the various stages of the catechumenate according to the rite of the catechumenate approved by the U.S. Bishops. d. To mandate another priest to perform these rites in individual cases. (Any priest so delegated has the faculty by the law itself to confirm the candidate during the rites of admission.) The law states that “the baptism of adults, at least those who have completed their fourteenth year, is to be referred to the bishop, so that he himself may confer it if he judges this appropriate”. Furthermore, “the provisions of the canons on adult baptism apply to all those who, being no longer infants, have reached the age of reason; on the completion of the seventh year, the minor is presumed to have the use of reason" (Canon 863, 852§1, 97§2). An adult is to be admitted to the catechumenate. This faculty permits pastors to baptize or receive those individuals above the age of seven. Converts from Orthodox churches may not be received without permission from the Holy See.
