    The CatholicWitness The Newspaper of the Diocese of Harrisburg March 3, 2017 Vol. 51 No. 4 s we enter the penitential Aseason of Lent – the 40-day period of preparation for Easter – Penitential Season of Lent we look at ways in which we can observe the Church’s traditional practices of prayer, fasting and alms- giving. In our Lenten journey, prayer life can include regular or daily atten- dance at Mass, deeper reflection on the Scripture readings, and ponder- ing the Stations of the Cross. Lent is also a time to return to the Sacra- ment of Penance and Reconciliation in preparation for the celebration of Christ’s Passion, Death and Resur- rection. Without making room for God’s word in their heart, people will never be able to welcome and love all human life, Pope Francis said in his Lenten message. “Each life that we encounter is a gift deserving acceptance, respect and love,” he said. “May the Holy Spirit lead us on a true journey of conversion, so that we can rediscover the gift of God’s word, be purified of the sin that blinds us and serve Christ present CHRIS HEISEY, THE CATHOLIC WITNESS A woman receives ashes during Ash Wednesday Mass celebrated at St. Patrick Cathedral in Harrisburg last year.

    THE VIRTUE OF PENANCE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1975 Dissertation Submitted to The College of Arts and Sciences of the UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in Theology By Maria Christina Morrow UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON Dayton, Ohio December 2013 THE VIRTUE OF PENANCE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1975 Name: Morrow, Maria Christina APPROVED BY: _______________________________________ Sandra A. Yocum, Ph.D. Committee Chair _______________________________________ William L.

Johnson, Ph.D. Committee Member _______________________________________ Jana M. Bennett, Ph.D. Committee Member _______________________________________ William C. Mattison, III, Ph.D. Committee Member iii ABSTRACT THE VIRTUE OF PENANCE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1975 Name: Morrow, Maria Christina University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Sandra A. Yocum This dissertation examines the conception of sin and the practice of penance among Catholics in the United States from 1955 to 1975. It begins with a brief historical account of sin and penance in Christian history, indicating the long tradition of performing penitential acts in response to the identification of one’s self as a sinner. The dissertation then considers the Thomistic account of sin and the response of penance, which is understood both as a sacrament (which destroys the sin) and as a virtue (the acts of which constitute the matter of the sacrament but also extend to include non-sacramental acts). This serves to provide a framework for understanding the way Catholics in the United States identified sin and sought to amend for it by use of the sacrament of penance as well as non-sacramental penitential acts of the virtue of penance.

  • Penitential Discipline and Public Wars in the Middle Ages: a Mediaeval
    Penitential discipline and public wars in the Middle Ages A MEDIAEVAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF HUMANITARIAN LAW The International Review is pleased to be able to publish this study and acknowledges its thanks to the author for having given per- mission for its translation and reproduction. Originally the subject of a series of three lectures delivered at King's College, London ( University of London) in 1957, it makes an important contribution, although con- fined to a limited period in history, to the development of humanitarian law. We have, in view of its original length and of its academic character and with the author's approval, summarized certain passages, which are printed in italics. This study deals with an important though little known period in the history of Christian institutions and the attempts which the Church made to mitigate some of the cruelty of war. Attempts tending towards the same ends were also made by other religions which proved to be effective and are of considerable interest. The Red Cross takes good care not to forget this and we will publish other articles on the same subject to complete this series with reference to the attitude of civiliza- tions in the East and in the Far East. (Editorial Note) * * During the period which it is proposed to consider, from the closing years of the Sixth Century to the beginning of the Twelfth Century, the Penitential Canons and the Penitential Books together PENITENTIAL DISCIPLINE AND PUBLIC WARS form the main stream of penitential discipline. The latter will be referred to throughout this study as the " penitentials ".

  • The Irish Penitentials and Contemporary Celtic Christianity
    The Spirit in Contemporary Culture THE IRISH PENITENTIALS AND CONTEMPORARY CELTIC CHRISTIANITY Janet Tanner ELTIC CHRISTIANITY, as it is understood and practised today, has an C influence that appears to be spreading widely and rapidly through the many old and new denominations and forms of Christianity, not only in the old Celtic heartlands of Britain but throughout the Christian world, particularly, as in the US and Australia, where there is a British heritage. The phenomenon is difficult to define with any accuracy; but there are a few Christian communities that consciously seek to use theological insights and practices based on their understanding of the ancient traditions of Celtic Christianity, and I should like to argue that their influence is ‘trickling down’ into twenty- first-century Christianity. This is especially true in those places where an effort is being made to develop a church consciousness that is genuinely expressed in and through the local culture or sub-cultures. Approaches to penance based on Celtic Christianity are an important part of this process. I should like to explore the influence of three communities—the Iona Community, the Northumbria Community and the Community of Aidan and Hilda.1 Each of these was founded in the twentieth century, with greater or lesser reliance on the Celtic Christian tradition, but their awareness and their use of the ancient Irish Celtic approach to penance varies greatly. 1 See www.iona.org.uk, www.northumbriacommunity.org and www.aidanandhilda.org. The Way, 48/2 (April 2009), 63–78 64 Janet Tanner Handbooks for Busy Practitioners To begin at the beginning we need to start with the penitentials: handbooks of penance completed largely in the sixth to ninth centuries in Ireland and Celtic Britain.

  • Some Anti-Heretic Fragments in the 14TH Century Bulgarian Canon Law Miscellanies
    http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2084-140X.04.17 Studia Ceranea 4, 2014, p. 261–275 Mariyana Tsibranska-Kostova (Sofia) Some Anti-Heretic Fragments in the 14TH Century Bulgarian Canon Law Miscellanies The most important anti-heretic document from the times of the Second Bulgar- ian Empire is Tsar Boril’s Synodicon, compiled for the needs of the Synod against the Bogomils in Tărnovo in 12111. The very nature of the Synodicon as a work of Byzantine literature, created in relation to the events of 843 in order to keep alive the memory of the definitive victory of the Iconodules over the Iconoclasts, de- termines its character of a primordial source for the heresies. The Zakonopravilo of Saint Sava, or St. Sava’s Nomocanon, established in 1219–1220, when the auto- cephalous Serbian archbishopric was constituted, and the Serbian translation of the Synodicon on the Sunday of Orthodoxy, proclaimed at the Synod of Žiča in 1221, also illustrate the strong presence of the anti-heretic theme on the South of the Slavs during the 13th century2. This subject remains topical in the Second Bulgarian Empire during the 14th century. Proof of this is not only the historical events – the anti-heretic councils in Tărnovo in 1350 and 1360 against Bogomils, Adamites, Barlaamites and Judaizers, authentic data about which can be found in the Life of the Venerable Theodosius of Tărnovo3, but also the abundant manuscript production of that time. This article is dedicated to some typological aspects of the anti-heretic theme and to some relevant texts which testify its development in copies of Canon law miscellanies from the 14th century.

  • Penitential Canons”
    TEOLOGIA MŁODYCH 4, S. 10-18 CĂTĂLINA MITITELU Ovidius University of Constanta, Romania THE APPLICATION OF EPITIMIAS IN THE SEE OF CONFESSION ACCORDING TO THE „CANONICAL CUSTOM” AND THE „PENITENTIAL CANONS” I. THE CANONICAL CUSTOM, BASIS FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE OIKONOMIA In the sources of the orthodox canonical Law, we find out that the „συνήθεία” (canonical custom) was invoked as a source and basis even for the application of the Oikonomia. For example, Saint Basil the Great († 379) says that „(...) the true cure is to move away from sin; (...)” (Canon 3), and not the penance itself, be it even the defrocking1 of a cleric, but, in matters of criminal Canon Law, „we need to know both”, namely to apply both the „Acribia”, and the „canonical Custom”, which forsee the application of „Oikonomia”. Indeed, according to the apostolical and post-apostolical Tradition the Confessor has rather to apply the „Oikonomia” in order to obtain the healing of the sin committed by the penitent, and not „Acribia”. So, also in the case of the application of epitimias, the Confessor ought not only to be faithful to the observation and strict application of the canonical Legislation, namely of „τῆς ἀκριβείας” (the Acribia), but ought mainly to apply the principle of Oikonomia, which Saint Basil the Great identified with the principle affirmed by the custom (συνηθεία), namely by the old and continued practice in matters of penitential Discipline, a principle actually retained and affirmed also by the unwritten Law. But, exactly these „unwritten laws”, transmitted and preserved from generation to generation, had, both during the time of Saint Basil the Great and during that of the Fathers of the VIth Ecumenical (Trullan) Synod, „(...) the power of the written laws (...)”2.

  • Sin As an Ailment of Soul and Repentance As the Process of Its Healing
    Perichoresis Volume 14. Issue 3 (2016): 21-45 DOI: 10.1515/perc-2017-0002 SIN AS AN AILMENT OF SOUL AND REPENTANCE AS THE PROCESS OF ITS HEALING. THE PASTORAL CONCEPT OF PENITENTIALS AS A WAY OF DEALING WITH SIN, REPENTANCE, AND FORGIVENESS IN THE INSULAR CHURCH OF THE SIXTH TO THE EIGHTH CENTURIES WILHELM KURSAWA * University of Nottingham ABSTRACT. Although the advent of the Kingdom of God in Jesus contains as an intrinsic quality the opportunity for repentance ( metanoia ) as often as required, the Church of the first five-hundred years shows serious difficulties with the opportunity of conversion after a relapse in sinning after baptism. The Church allowed only one chance of repentance. Requirement for the reconciliation were a public confession and the acceptance of severe penances, especially after committing the mortal sin of apostasy, fornication or murder. As severe as this paenitentia canonica appears, its entire conception especially in the eastern part of the Church, the Orien- tal Church, is a remedial one: sin represents an ailment of the soul, the one, who received the confession, is called upon to meet the confessing person as a spiritual physician or soul-friend. Penance does not mean punishment, but healing like a salutary remedy. Nevertheless, the lack of privacy led to the unwanted practice of postponing repentance and even baptism on the deathbed. An alternative procedure of repentance arose from the sixth century onwards in the Irish Church as well as the Continental Church under the influence of Irish missionaries and the South-West-British and later the English Church (Insular Church).
