Early one morning in 1851, Joseph slipped out of the Makhoulf house before dawn and headed to the west in Eastern Rite: search of the Monastery of Our lady of Mayfouk.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Gregory Peter XV Cardinal Agagianian is perhaps one of the best­ known of the non-American Cardinals. He has become familiar to Amer­ ican Catholic and non-Catholic readers because of the publicity given to his appointment to succeed Cardinal Stritch as Pro-prefect of the Sacred Congregation of the Faith in June, 1958. At this time and during the period following the death of the late Pius XII, he was considered by many observers as one of the most likely "candidates" for the Papacy. His two trips to the United States in 1954 and in May of this past year have served to bring him to the attention of the American public. Born in the Russian Caucasus sixty-five years ago, Cardinal Agagianian grew up in what is now Russian Georgia.

  • Eastern Rite Catholicism
    Eastern Rite Catholicism Religious Practices Religious Items Requirements for Membership Medical Prohibitions Dietary Standards Burial Rituals Sacred Writings Organizational Structure History Theology RELIGIOUS PRACTICES Required Daily Observances. None. However, daily personal prayer is highly recommended. Required Weekly Observances. Participation in the Divine Liturgy (Mass) is required. If the Divine Liturgy is not available, participation in the Latin Rite Mass fulfills the requirement. Required Occasional Observances. The Eastern Rites follow a liturgical calendar, as does the Latin Rite. However, there are significant differences. The Eastern Rites still follow the Julian Calendar, which now has a difference of about 13 days – thus, major feasts fall about 13 days after they do in the West. This could be a point of contention for Eastern Rite inmates practicing Western Rite liturgies. Sensitivity should be maintained by possibly incorporating special prayer on Eastern Rite Holy days into the Mass. Each liturgical season has a focus; i.e., Christmas (Incarnation), Lent (Human Mortality), Easter (Salvation). Be mindful that some very important seasons do not match Western practices; i.e., Christmas and Holy Week. Holy Days. There are about 28 holy days in the Eastern Rites. However, only some require attendance at the Divine Liturgy. In the Byzantine Rite, those requiring attendance are: Epiphany, Ascension, St. Peter and Paul, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Christmas. Of the other 15 solemn and seven simple holy days, attendance is not mandatory but recommended. (1 of 5) In the Ukrainian Rites, the following are obligatory feasts: Circumcision, Easter, Dormition of Mary, Epiphany, Ascension, Immaculate Conception, Annunciation, Pentecost, and Christmas.

  • “Make This the Place Where Your Glory Dwells”: Origins
    “MAKE THIS THE PLACE WHERE YOUR GLORY DWELLS”: ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION OF THE BYZANTINE RITE FOR THE CONSECRATION OF A CHURCH A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Vitalijs Permjakovs ____________________________ Maxwell E. Johnson, Director Graduate Program in Theology Notre Dame, Indiana April 2012 © Copyright 2012 Vitalijs Permjakovs All rights reserved “MAKE THIS THE PLACE WHERE YOUR GLORY DWELLS”: ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION OF THE BYZANTINE RITE FOR THE CONSECRATION OF A CHURCH Abstract by Vitalijs Permjakovs The Byzantine ritual for dedication of churches, as it appears in its earliest complete text, the eighth-century euchologion Barberini gr. 336, as well as in the textus receptus of the rite, represents a unique collection of scriptural and euchological texts, together with the ritual actions, intended to set aside the physical space of a public building for liturgical use. The Byzantine rite, in its shape already largely present in Barberini gr. 336, actually comprises three major liturgical elements: 1) consecration of the altar; 2) consecration of the church building; 3) deposition of relics. Our earliest Byzantine liturgical text clearly conceives of the consecration of the altar and the deposition of the relics/“renovation” (encaenia) as two distinct rites, not merely elements of a single ritual. This feature of the Barberini text raises an important question, namely, which of these major elements did in fact constitute the act of dedicating/ consecrating the church, and what role did the deposition of relics have in the ceremonies of dedication in the early period of Byzantine liturgical history, considering that the deposition of relics Vitalijs Permjakovs became a mandatory element of the dedication rite only after the provisions to that effect were made at the Second council of Nicaea in 787 CE.

  • Appendix B: Baptismal Churches Eastern Rite Churches in Communion with Rome Eastern Rite Churches Not in Communion with Rome
    Appendix B: Baptismal Churches Eastern Rite Churches in Communion with Rome The Churches on this list are Catholic Churches. The Roman Catholic Church recognizes fully the sacraments that have already been received. There can be no doubt cast upon the validity of Baptism and Confirmation conferred in the Eastern Churches. It is sufficient to establish the fact that Baptism was administered. Valid Confirmation (chrismation) is always administered at the same time as Baptism. In some situations, the child has also received First Communion at the time of Baptism. Children who have celebrated the full initiation rite in the Eastern Rite Church may require further catechesis concerning the sacrament of the Eucharist. If the child is attending a Roman Catholic school the ongoing Religious Education program will provide this catechesis. If it is deemed appropriate the family may be encouraged to complete a family resource book at home and to continue the practice of bringing their child to the table of the Lord. Adults who have celebrated the full initiation rite in the Eastern Rite Church are to be catechized as needed. No rite is required. The Eastern Churches in Communion with Rome, as listed in the Archdiocese of Toronto’s Directory include: Alexandrian Rite Byzantine Rite Coptic Catholic Church Melkite Catholic Church Ethiopian Catholic Church Byzantine Slovak Catholic Church Byzantine Ukrainian Catholic Church Antiochene Rite (West Syrian) Albanian Catholic Church Malankara (Malankarese) Catholic Church Byelorussian Catholic Church Maronite

  • Decree on Eastern Catholic Churches (Orientalium Ecclesiarum)
    Decrees on Eastern Churches (Orientalium Ecclesiarum) and Ecumenism (Unitatis Redintegratio) Victor Clore http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19641121_orientalium-ecclesiarum_en.html http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19641121_unitatis-redintegratio_en.html On December 4, 1963 (the last day of the second year) the Council passed their first two documents: The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (a major accomplishment, calling for wide-ranging reform), and the decree on the Mass Media (a minor accomplishment, consisting mostly of platitudes). Near the end of the third year on November 21, 1964, the Council passed three more documents: the Constitution on the Church (Lumen Gentium), and two Decrees: on the Eastern Churches (Orientalium Ecclesiarum) and on Ecumenism (Unitatis Redintegratio). This was a major milestone. Pope John had made his surprise announcement that he was convening an ecumenical council during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, at the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls. He mentioned specifically that he wanted to update the Church (aggiornamento) and make some headway toward Christian unity. In addition to the Constitution on the Liturgy, these three documents had thoroughly engaged the bishops’ interests, but bringing all three of them to final votes was easier said than done. We have already discussed Lumen Gentium (which focused on “ourselves”) and now we consider another two, which involve reaching out to “others.” Lumen Gentium was setting the stage for a more open relationship between the Catholic Church and those outside it by acknowledging that the Church is joined to others by baptism, Scripture, & belief in the Trinity (#15).

  • Abbreviated Chicago Style Booklet
    An ABBREVIATED GUIDE to Chicago and Religion & Literature Style Prepared by Katie Bascom and Vienna Wagner 2015 A Note on this Guide Here you’ll find helpful excerpts from The Chicago Manual of Style as well as discussion of the Religion & Literature House Style sheet, which should provide the necessary foundation to begin editorial work on the journal. While you’ll, no doubt, find it necessary to frequently consult the online style guide, this abbreviation covers some of the problem areas for those new to Chicago style and the R&L style sheet. Though The Chicago Manual of Style includes treatments of general usage issues, its citation and documentation system proves most daunting to new editors. Further, Religion & Literature modifies Chicago documentation practices with an eye toward brevity, concision, and aesthetic appeal. Consequently, this guide devotes most of its attention to practices such as the shortened endnote plus bibliography citation style. In general, Chicago style considers the documentation of material cited in-text the primary function of the endnote system because endnotes can provide documentation without interfering with the reading experience. Therefore, Chicago discourages discursive endnotes. Every system has its drawbacks, of course, but, properly executed, the Chicago/R&L style creates clean, well-documented essays free from cumbersome in-text apparatus. Basically, the reader shouldn’t need to read the endnotes unless the reader needs to track down the sources, and the citation system makes it clear, early on, that little more than such information will be found there. In addition to the endnote/bibliography citation style, Chicago downstyle consistently proves confusing to new editors.
