Various historical, cultural and ecclesiological conditions became the impetus for changes that were reflected in newer laws and faculties granted to papal envoys. One such stimulus for change was the discussion about the role of the papal legate at the Second Vatican Council. The laws and special delegated powers (faculties) pertaining to nuncios and apostolic delegates issued after the council reflect this change and set a new direction for papal legates. !The various functions of the papal legate are regulated by canon law and special faculties granted by the dicasteries of the Roman Curia. These laws and faculties have changed throughout the years. Hence, the main research of this dissertation can be summarized in the following three interconnected questions: 1. Is there any difference in the description and function of the papal legate between the canons of the 1917 Code of Canon Law and the 1983 Code of Canon Law? 1 2 2. What are the differences and what trends can we notice comparing these two codes? 3. Did the debates and documents of the Second Vatican Council have any influence on the office of papal legate? !The motivation for this dissertation is to examine and evaluate these questions in light of the 1917 Code of Canon Law, the conciliar and post-conciliar documents, and the 1983 Code of Canon Law. Such a comparative analysis of the three “legal periods” will allow us to see if and how the council affected the institute of the papal legate and clarify the differences between the 1917 and 1983 codes in this regard. The method used in this dissertation is a historical-juridical comparative analysis of the two codes of canon law in light of the conciliar debates and documents as well as the 1969 motu proprio Sollicitudo omnium Ecclesiarum.1 In chapter one we will briefly look at the historical development of the office of papal legate. However, the main focus of this chapter will be the examination of the 1917 Code of Canon Law in regards to papal legates: the office, their function and 1 Paul VI, motu proprio Sollicitudo omnium Ecclesiarum, AAS 61 (1969) 475; English translation in CLD 7, 277-284. 3 responsibilities. The pertinent canons will be presented thematically, instead of the order of appearance in the code as to present more cohesive image. Chapter two of this dissertation will scrutinize the topic of papal legates as it surfaced during the preparatory stages and discussions of the Second Vatican Council. It will also examine the effects of these discussions and interventions as reflected in the decree on bishops Christus Dominus.2 The goal of the third chapter will be to compare in detail and to analyze the 1917 Code of Canon Law, the 1969 motu proprio Sollicitudo omnium Ecclesiarum, the three revisions of the proposed new code and finally, the 1983 Code of Canon Law in their description of the office of papal legate. This analysis will allow us to see the tendencies and trends in legislation pertaining to nuncios and apostolic delegates. It will also allow us to capture the effects of the Second Vatican Council on the office of the papal legate. 2 Vatican II, decree Christus Dominus 9, AAS 58 (1966), 673-701; English translation in Vatican Council II: The Conciliar and Post Conciliar Documents, ed. Austin Flannery, 2nd ed. (Northport, NY: Costello Publishing, 1996) 283-315. 4 Finally, the fourth chapter of the dissertation will also examine a selection of the indices of ‘special faculties’ granted to nuncios and apostolic delegates by various dicasteries of the Roman Curia from the promulgation of the 1917 code to the current time. Doing so will allow us to see further the changes affected by the council in various practical aspects of the office of papal legate.

  • The Capital Sculpture of Wells Cathedral: Masons, Patrons and The
    The Capital Sculpture of Wells Cathedral: Masons, Patrons and the Margins of English Gothic Architecture MATTHEW M. REEVE For Eric Fernie This paper considers the sculpted capitals in Wells cathedral. Although integral to the early Gothic fabric, they have hitherto eluded close examination as either a component of the building or as an important cycle of ecclesiastical imagery in their own right. Consideration of the archaeological evidence suggests that the capitals were introduced mid-way through the building campaigns and were likely the products of the cathedral’s masons rather than part of an original scheme for the cathedral as a whole. Possible sources for the images are considered. The distribution of the capitals in lay and clerical spaces of the cathedral leads to discussion of how the imagery might have been meaningful to diCerent audiences on either side of the choir screen. introduction THE capital sculpture of Wells Cathedral has the dubious honour of being one of the most frequently published but least studied image cycles in English medieval art. The capitals of the nave, transepts, and north porch of the early Gothic church are ornamented with a rich array of figural sculptures ranging from hybrid human-animals, dragons, and Old Testament prophets, to representations of the trades that inhabit stiC-leaf foliage, which were originally highlighted with paint (Figs 1, 2).1 The capitals sit upon a highly sophisticated pier design formed by a central cruciform support with triple shafts at each termination and in the angles, which oCered the possibility for a range of continuous and individual sculpted designs in the capitals above (Fig.

Brewer, Associate Professor of Political Science Richard J. Powell, Associate Professor of Political Science, Leadership Studies Sol Goldman, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Political Science Copyright 2014 Katherine M. Campbell Abstract: Scholars have debated Pope Pius XII’s role in the Holocaust since the 1960s. Did he do everything he could and should have done to save Jews? His critics say no because of antisemitism rooted in the traditional Catholic views. His defenders say yes and deny that he was an antisemite. In my thesis, I shall assess the arguments on both sides in terms of the available evidence. I shall focus both on what Pius XII did do and what he did not do and on the degree to which he can be held responsible for the actions of low-level clergy.

  • Where Are the Vatican's Women Diplomats?
    Where Are The Vatican’s Women Diplomats? Written by HdG, Amb. du Christ et de Marie, Dna. Maria St. Catherine De Grâce Sharpe, Guest Contributor Friday, 23 March 2012 01:15 Lifting the veil on the Vatican’s gender apartheidic all-male “Human Rights” diplomacy – the Holy See’s “Human Rights” diplomacy from the perspective of the "First Lady of Vatican/Holy See Pontifical Ecclesiastical Diplomacy.” For as long as the “conscience of humanity” has been able to witness, remember, and when necessary, testify; and for as long as the documented archives of the UN, the Holy See, and the sovereign states to which the Holy See’s diplomatic missions has been accredited have existed, the global ecclesiastical diplomacy and the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical diplomatic profession of the Holy See have for centuries been a blatantly all-male, priest-only enterprise void of the presence of Catholic women. The fact remains that, even though Catholic women have never ever been officially admitted to the Holy See’s professional ecclesiastical foreign service ministry and diplomatic mission apostolate, this gender-apartheidic state of affairs has nothing to do with any Vatican diplomatic prerequisite of the priestly ordination for Catholic women (something which is absolutely prohibited in the Catholic Church). In 1994, Pope John Paul II published the papal apostolic letter, “Ordinatio Sacerdotalis,” exclusively reserving ministerial priestly ordination in the Roman Catholic Church to Catholic males. However, in order to affirm once and for all time that ministerial ordination to the Roman Catholic priesthood did not serve as an impediment to Catholic women serving as ecclesiastical diplomatic representatives, in 1995 Pope John Paul II established the “Glendon Precedent” and appointed Harvard Law Professor Mary Ann Glendon, to serve as the Holy See’s senior papal diplomatic representative to the UN’s Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing, China that year.

  • Flavius Athanasius, Dux Et Augustalis Thebaidis – a Case Study on Landholding and Power in Late Antique Egypt
    Imperium and Officium Working Papers (IOWP) Flavius Athanasius, dux et Augustalis Thebaidis – A case study on landholding and power in Late Antique Egypt Version 01 March 2013 Anna Maria Kaiser (University of Vienna, Department of Ancient History, Papyrology and Epigraphy) Abstract: From 565 to 567/568 CE Flavius Triadius Marianus Michaelius Gabrielius Constantinus Theodorus Martyrius Iulianus Athanasius was dux et Augustalis Thebaidis. Papyri mention him explicitly in this function, as the highest civil and military authority in the Thebaid, the southernmost province of the Eastern Roman Empire. Flavius Athanasius might be not the most typical dux et Augustalis Thebaidis concerning his career, but most typical concerning his powerful standing in society. And he has the benefit of being one of the better- known duces et Augustales Thebaidis in the second half of the 6th century. This article will focus first on his official competence as dux et Augustalis: The geographic area(s) of responsibility, the civil and military branches of power will be treated. Second will be his civil branch of power; documents show his own domus gloriosa and prove his involvement with the domus divina, the estates of members of the imperial family itself. We will end with a look at his integration in the network of power – both in the Egyptian provinces and beyond. © Anna Maria Kaiser 2013 [email protected] Anna Kaiser 1 Flavius Athanasius, dux et Augustalis Thebaidis – A case study on landholding and power in Late Antique Egypt* Anna Maria Kaiser From 565 to 567/568 CE Flavius Triadius Marianus Michaelius Gabrielius Constantinus Theodorus Martyrius Iulianus Athanasius was dux et Augustalis Thebaidis.

Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule Sankt Georgen, Frankfurt am Main, Germany [email protected] Abstract Johann Baptist Franzelin (1816–86), a Jesuit from South Tyrol, was an important sys- tematic theologian at the Collegio Romano. Against emerging neo-Scholasticism, he supported the growing awareness of the need for historical context and to see theo- logical doctrines in their development over time. He was an influential theologian at the First Vatican Council. Created cardinal by Pope Pius ix in 1876, he engaged in the work of the Roman Curia, for example against the German Kulturkampf and for the Third Plenary Council of the Catholic Church in the usa (Baltimore, 1884). This article provides an overview of Franzelin’s biography and analyzes his contributions to theol- ogy and church politics. Keywords Johann Baptist Franzelin – Jesuit cardinal – Collegio Romano – systematic theology – neo-Scholasticism – First Vatican Council – Kulturkampf – Roman Curia Johann Baptist Franzelin (1816–86) was an Austrian Jesuit cardinal, who is largely unknown today. However, working silently behind the scenes, he has arguably shaped the decisions of the First Vatican Council and of Roman theology in general as only few others did—just before the triumph of neo- Scholasticism changed the course of this theology dramatically. His life can be divided into two periods.

  • Pius Ix and the Change in Papal Authority in the Nineteenth Century
    ABSTRACT ONE MAN’S STRUGGLE: PIUS IX AND THE CHANGE IN PAPAL AUTHORITY IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Andrew Paul Dinovo This thesis examines papal authority in the nineteenth century in three sections. The first examines papal issues within the world at large, specifically those that focus on the role of the Church within the political state. The second section concentrates on the authority of Pius IX on the Italian peninsula in the mid-nineteenth century. The third and final section of the thesis focuses on the inevitable loss of the Papal States within the context of the Vatican Council of 1869-1870. Select papal encyclicals from 1859 to 1871 and the official documents of the Vatican Council of 1869-1870 are examined in light of their relevance to the change in the nature of papal authority. Supplementing these changes is a variety of seminal secondary sources from noted papal scholars. Ultimately, this thesis reveals that this change in papal authority became a point of contention within the Church in the twentieth century.
