  • CTR EDITORIAL (1000 Words)
    CTR n.s.16/2 (Spring 2019) 49–66 Sola Scriptura, the Fathers, and the Church: Arguments from the Lutheran Reformers Carl L. Beckwith Beeson Divinity School Samford University, Birmingham, AL I. INTRODUCTION I learned to show this reverence and respect only to those books of the scriptures that are now called canonical so that I most firmly believe that none of their authors erred in writing anything. And if I come upon something in those writings that seems contrary to the truth, I have no doubt that either the manuscript is defective or the translator did not follow what was said or that I did not understand it. I, however, read other authors in such a way that, no matter how much they excel in holiness and learning, I do not suppose that something is true by reason of the fact that they thought so, but because they were able to convince me either through those canonical authors or by plausible reason that it does not depart from the truth.1 Augustine to Jerome, Letter 82 Martin Luther and his reforming colleagues maintained that Scripture alone determines the articles of faith. All that the church believes, teaches, and confesses rests upon the authority of the canonical scriptures, upon the unique revelation of God himself through his prophets and apostles. Luther declares, “It will not do to make articles of faith out of 1Augustine, Letter 82.3 in Letters 1–99, trans.

  • Roman Catholic Liturgical Renewal Forty-Five Years After Sacrosanctum Concilium: an Assessment KEITH F
    Roman Catholic Liturgical Renewal Forty-Five Years after Sacrosanctum Concilium: An Assessment KEITH F. PECKLERS, S.J. Next December 4 will mark the forty-fifth anniversary of the promulgation of the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, which the Council bishops approved with an astounding majority: 2,147 in favor and 4 opposed. The Constitution was solemnly approved by Pope Paul VI—the first decree to be promulgated by the Ecumenical Council. Vatican II was well aware of change in the world—probably more so than any of the twenty ecumenical councils that preceded it.1 It had emerged within the complex social context of the Cuban missile crisis, a rise in Communism, and military dictatorships in various corners of the globe. President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated only twelve days prior to the promulgation of Sacrosanctum Concilium.2 Despite those global crises, however, the Council generally viewed the world positively, and with a certain degree of optimism. The credibility of the Church’s message would necessarily depend on its capacity to reach far beyond the confines of the Catholic ghetto into the marketplace, into non-Christian and, indeed, non-religious spheres.3 It is important that the liturgical reforms be examined within such a framework. The extraordinary unanimity in the final vote on the Constitution on the Liturgy was the fruit of the fifty-year liturgical movement that had preceded the Council. The movement was successful because it did not grow in isolation but rather in tandem with church renewal promoted by the biblical, patristic, and ecumenical movements in that same historical period.

  • The Latin Mass Have Shifted Over Time a Majority of Adult Catholics Express No Opinion on Return of Older Liturgy
    The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate News release Contact: Mark Gray August 24, 2009 202-687-0885 [email protected] Opinions about the Latin Mass have shifted over time A Majority of adult Catholics express no opinion on return of older liturgy Two years ago, Pope Benedict XVI gave permission for the 1962 Roman Rite Mass to be used without a priest first acquiring a bishop’s approval.1 Using the Missal of John XXIII, this Mass is celebrated in Latin with the priest and parishioners facing the same direction toward the altar. It is the last version of the Latin Mass that was first codified following the Council of Trent in the 16th century and is thus often referred to as the Latin Tridentine Mass.2 Parish priests have been instructed by the Pope to work with parishioners when there is a “stable group” who are interested in Latin Mass to provide opportunities for this liturgy to be celebrated regularly under the guidance of their bishop. According to the Mass Times Trust, operators of the popular website, www.masstimes.org, about one in every 250 parishes regularly offer a Mass in Latin in the 117,000 parishes for which listings are available (in more than 200 countries). Although the Mass in Latin is now more widely available, results of a survey conducted by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) indicates that interest is not widespread among adult Catholics in the United States. Instead, it appears that the wider availability of the Latin Mass may have come too late to appeal to the majority of Catholics today who have no memory or experience of this older form of the liturgy.

  • Summorum Pontificum
    The Holy See POPE BENEDICT XVI APOSTOLIC LETTER GIVEN MOTU PROPRIO SUMMORUM PONTIFICUM ON THE USE OF THE ROMAN LITURGY PRIOR TO THE REFORM OF 1970 The Supreme Pontiffs have to this day shown constant concern that the Church of Christ should offer worthy worship to the Divine Majesty, “for the praise and glory of his name” and “the good of all his holy Church.” As from time immemorial, so too in the future, it is necessary to maintain the principle that “each particular Church must be in accord with the universal Church not only regarding the doctrine of the faith and sacramental signs, but also as to the usages universally received from apostolic and unbroken tradition. These are to be observed not only so that errors may be avoided, but also that the faith may be handed on in its integrity, since the Church’s rule of prayer (lex orandi) corresponds to her rule of faith (lex credendi).” [1] Eminent among the Popes who showed such proper concern was Saint Gregory the Great, who sought to hand on to the new peoples of Europe both the Catholic faith and the treasures of worship and culture amassed by the Romans in preceding centuries. He ordered that the form of the sacred liturgy, both of the sacrifice of the Mass and the Divine Office, as celebrated in Rome, should be defined and preserved. He greatly encouraged those monks and nuns who, following the Rule of Saint Benedict, everywhere proclaimed the Gospel and illustrated by their lives the salutary provision of the Rule that “nothing is to be preferred to the work of God.” In this way the sacred liturgy, celebrated according to the Roman usage, enriched the faith and piety, as well as the culture, of numerous peoples.

I will examine the various parts of the mass before and after Vatican II. I will visit a traditional mass (pre-Vatican II) to determine its usefulness in today‟s world. I will look at past traditions swept aside post Vatican II and determine if these traditions still hold value to Catholic‟s today. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract of the Capstone ii Table of Contents iii I.

  • Evangelization and Catechesis: “How to Meet Christ”
    EVANGELIZATION AND CATECHESIS: “HOW TO MEET CHRIST” In an address to the Bishops of South America in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti on March 9, 1983, Pope John Paul II called for “…a new evangelization; new in its ardour [sic], methods and expression.”i Was this the first time the expression “New Evangelization” was ever used? Some argument could be made that as early as 1979, when Pope John Paul II made his historical first pastoral visit back to his native Poland, he had used the same phrase, likely in reference to the efforts that would be required by the Church to revitalize the Catholic faith in his homeland then still dominated by Communist rule.ii Each of St. John Paul II’s successors in the Papacy, Popes Benedict XVI and Francis, have made the “New Evangelization” a major point in their preaching and direction of the worldwide Church. Yet, this constant refrain about New Evangelization seems to have changed the definition previously connected to the task. Evangelization had traditionally been associated with the missionary efforts of the Church to tell the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to persons who had not yet had a chance to hear it. For the past thirty or more years, the Church has been encouraged to evangelize constantly, even to an audience of hearers who are already baptized members of the faith. Simultaneously, the concept of catechesis has been seemingly redefined to include elements of ongoing evangelization. Does this mean that catechesis is not as important a task now? How are we to understand the meaning and inner connection evangelization and catechesis today? The purpose of this short paper is to investigate how the concepts of evangelization and catechesis represent two related and mutually supportive tasks for the Church of the 21st century.
