  • Modern Alternative Popes*
    Modern Alternative Popes* Magnus Lundberg Uppsala University The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) is arguably the most important event in modern Catholicism, and a major act on the twentieth-century religious scene at large. On several points, the conciliar fathers made changes in how the Catholic Church perceived the modern world. The language in the decrees was different from earlier councils’, and the bishops opened up for ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, seeing at least “seeds of truth” in other religious traditions. The conciliar fathers also voted in favour of liberty of religion, as meaning something more than the right to practise Catholic faith. A very concrete effect of the Council was the introduction of the New Mass Order (Novus Ordo Missae) in 1969 that replaced the traditional Roman rite, decreed by Pius V in 1570. Apart from changes in content, under normal circumstances, the new mass should be read in the vernacular, not in Latin as before. Though many Catholics welcomed the reforms of Vatican II, many did not. In the period just after the end of the Council, large numbers of priests and nuns were laicized, few new priest candidates entered the seminaries, and many laypeople did not recognize the church and the liturgy, which they had grown up with. In the post- conciliar era, there developed several traditionalist groups that criticized the reforms and in particular the introduction of the Novus Ordo. Their criticism could be more or less radical, and more or less activist. Many stayed in their parishes and attended mass there, but remained faithful to traditional forms of devotions and paid much attention to modern Marian apparitions.

  • In Nómine Patris, Et Fílii, Et Spíritus Sancti. Amen. P
    JULY 28, STS. NAZARIUS, CELSUS, VICTOR, & INNOCENT, MARTYRS Errors? [email protected] St. Nazarius was baptized by Pope Linus at Rome; in his turn he baptized the youthful Celsus. They were both beheaded at Milan about the year 368. Their bodies, buried in a garden outside the city, were found by St. Ambrose in 395. The body of St. Nazarius appeared as if it had just been beheaded. It was placed by St. Ambrose in the Basilica Romano. The body of the boy Celsus was found in another part of the garden, but was not removed. However, a basilica was later built in his honor. Pope St. Victor, the thirteenth in order from St. Peter, is famous in the history of the Church of the first three centuries for his encyclicals addressed to all the churches, in which he appointed synods with a view to coming to an agreement concerning the date of the celebration of Easter. Even the bishops of the most remote dioceses of Asia Minor obeyed the Pope's order and sent their votes to Rome, but as these were not in accordance with the Roman view, it very nearly caused a schism. He succeeded in settling the controversy about the date of Easter, and is said to have decided that in case of necessity Baptism might be given with natural water. He was the first ecclesiastical writer to write in Latin. St. Innocent I, Pope, Confessor (402-417), took a vigorous part in the defence of St. John Chrysostom; upheld the rights of the Holy See, and wrote a letter on liturgical questions which remains a notable document to this day.

    PAUL IN ROME: A CASE STUDY ON THE FORMATION AND TRANSMISSION OF TRADITIONS Pablo Alberto Molina A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: James Rives Bart Ehrman Robert Babcock Zlatko Plese Todd Ochoa © 2016 Pablo Alberto Molina ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Pablo Molina: Paul in Rome: A Case Study On the Formation and Transmission of Traditions (Under the direction of James Rives) Paul is arguably the second most important figure in the history of Christianity. Although much has been written about his stay and martyrdom in Rome, the actual circumstances of these events — unless new evidence is uncovered — must remain obscure. In this dissertation I analyze the matter from a fresh perspective by focusing on the formation and transmission of traditions about Paul’s final days. I begin by studying the Neronian persecution of the year 64 CE, i.e. the immediate historical context in which the earliest traditions were formed. In our records, a documentary gap of over thirty years follows the persecution. Yet we may deduce from chance remarks in texts written ca. 95-120 CE that oral traditions of Paul’s death were in circulation during that period. In chapter 2, I develop a quantitative framework for their contextualization. Research has shown that oral traditions, if not committed to writing, fade away after about eighty years. Only two documents written within that crucial time frame have survived: the book of Acts and the Martyrdom of Paul (MPl).

  • Meet the Sedevacantist Anti-Popes
    Meet the Sedevacantist Anti-Popes “By their fruits you will know them.” Over the past 40 years, the Sedevacantist sects have produced an unprecedented number of antipopes – that is, men who were either elected “Pope” by a small band of Sedevecantists (these are called “Conclavists”), or individuals who claim to have been appointed Pope directly (and secretly) by God (these are known as “Mysticalists”). The following are a just a few of these individuals. These are just some of the “fruits” (and dare we say “nuts”) of the Sedevacantist movement. “Habemus Anti-Papam” Pope Michael” David Bawden was elected “Pope” in 1990 by a conclave of six persons, which included himself and his parents. Bawden took the nam “Pope Michael” and currently lives with his mother in Kansas. In a recent documentary, Bawden claims to have approximately 50 followers world-wide. These alone, he says, are the member of the true Catholic Church. The documentary can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NMWs5Ngz9o “Pope Peter II” Maurce Archieri claims to have been appointed the true Pope in 1995 by the Holy Ghost. He took the name Peter II. Another “Pope Peter II” William Kamm, aka, “the little Pebble,” claims to have been appointed as Pope by the Blessed Virgin Mary, who gave him the name Peter II. Kamm gathered more than a thousand followers in several countries, some of whom lived communally as members of a religious order known as the Order of Saint Charbel. In 2005, Kamm was sentenced to jail for sexual relations with two minor girls.
