Bishops have, by divine institution, taken the place of the apostles as pastors of the church. The appointment of Bishop Edward M. Rice as the seventh Bishop of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau focuses a spotlight on symbols of a bishop. In fact, the bishop himself is a symbol and is surrounded by symbols. Bishops wear certain regalia distinctive of the Order of Bishop, the fullness of the Sacrament of Holy Orders—the Apectoral cross, ring, miter, and crozier (staff). Let us look at some of them: The Bishop’s Chair In ancient times, a chair was a sign of authority to teach. The bishop’s chair is called a cathedra from the Latin word for chair and it is the presence of the bishop’s cathedra in a church that makes it a cathedral. The bishop’s chair, then is a symbol of the bishop’s teaching office and pastoral power in his diocese. It is also a sign of the unity of believers in the faith that the bishop proclaims as shepherd of the Lord’s flock. Coat of Arms A bishop’s coat of arms is distinguished by a sign of his rank. That sign, placed over the shield, is a particular version of an ecclesiastical hat that was worn in processions, as late as 1870. The hat is low-crowned, flat, and wide-brimmed. On a bishop’s coat of arms, the hat is green and hanging from it are 12 green tassels, six on each side. There’s also a processional cross above the shield. The cross on a bishop’s coat of arms has one bar; an archbishop’s cross has two. The design of the shield itself differs from bishop to bishop. Miter The miter is the proper liturgical headdress for all bishops of the Latin rite, including the pope. The word comes from the Greek word mitra, meaning “turban.” It consists of two stiffened flaps of material joined by a headband with two fringed strips hanging from the back base of the miter. The miter as we know it today developed from the conical head-covering worn by the pope that appeared in the 10th century. At first, it was only used by the pope. Pectoral Cross The pectoral cross gets its name because it is worn over the breast, or pectus, hanging from a green cord intertwined with gold threads. There are rules determining whether it is worn over or under whatever the bishop is wearing. If he’s in a suit and collar, the pectoral cross is usually placed in the vest pocket with the chain showing. Crozier The crozier is a pastoral staff that is conferred on bishops (and abbots) at their installation. In the West, the top of the staff is curved to remind the bishop of the shepherd’s crook and of his pastoral care of the people entrusted to him. It is a sign of the bishop’s need to keep watch over his whole flock, sustaining the weak and faltering, confirming those wavering in faith, and leading back the erring ones into the true fold. Ring The bishop’s ring is a symbol of the bishop’s fidelity to and nuptial bond with the Church, his spouse. It signifies the bishop’s symbolic marriage to the Church or Christ. The bishop’s ring is usually made of gold with an amethyst. The bishop’s ring was first mentioned as an official part of the bishop’s insignia in the early seventh century. Zucchetto The zucchetto is a skullcap worn, particularly by prelates, since the 13th century. The pope wears a white zucchetto; cardinals, a red zucchetto; and bishops, a purple zucchetto. Everyone else wears black. June 10, 2016 COLUMN The Mirror 3 COME, AND YOU WILL SEE Overwhelming gratitude Bp. Edward M.

  • If the Hat Fits, Wear It!
    If the hat fits, wear it! By Canon Jim Foley Before I put pen to paper let me declare my interests. My grandfather, Michael Foley, was a silk hatter in one of the many small artisan businesses in Claythorn Street that were so characteristic of the Calton district of Glasgow in late Victorian times. Hence my genetic interest in hats of any kind, from top hats that kept you at a safe distance, to fascinators that would knock your eye out if you got too close. There are hats and hats. Beaver: more of a hat than an animal As students for the priesthood in Rome the wearing of a ‘beaver’ was an obligatory part of clerical dress. Later, as young priests we were required, by decree of the Glasgow Synod, to wear a hat when out and about our parishes. But then, so did most respectable citizens. A hat could alert you to the social standing of a citizen at a distance of a hundred yards. The earliest ‘top’ hats, known colloquially as ‘lum’ hats, signalled the approach of a doctor, a priest or an undertaker, often in that order. With the invention of the combustion engine and the tram, lum hats had to be shortened, unless the wearer could be persuaded to sit in the upper deck exposed to the elements with the risk of losing the hat all together. I understand that the process of shortening these hats by a few inches led to a brief revival of the style and of the Foley family fortunes, but not for long.

Episcopalians may hire more priests and junior priests when they can allocate their budgets to increase the number of jobs for these clergy members. Admission requirements for the seminary vary by diocese and religious order. Earnings can vary for junior priests, depending on the size of their churches and geographical locations.

Incidents in your past, such as treatment for alcoholism, should be discussed with a priest who can explain how that might affect eligibility for the seminary. It estimates a 10 percent increase in employment for clergy from to , which is statistically on par with the 11 percent national rate for all occupations. Diocesan priests live independently in a city within their diocese. That makes me as close to knowledgeable as anybody. Each diocese is led by a type of priest called a bishop, and all of the parish priests within a diocese are under the authority of its bishop.

  • How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear?
    How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear? By Forrest Wickman March 12, 2013 6:30 PM A cardinal adjusts his mitre cap. Photo by Alessia Pierdomenico/Reuters One-hundred-fifteen Roman Catholic cardinals locked themselves up in the Vatican today to select the church’s next pope. In pictures of the cardinals, they were shown wearing a variety of unusual hats. How do cardinals choose their hats? To suit the occasion, to represent their homeland, or, sometimes, to make a personal statement. Cardinals primarily wear one of three different types. The most basic hat is a skullcap called the zucchetto (pl. zucchetti), which is a simple round hat that looks like a beanie or yarmulke. Next is the collapsible biretta, a taller, square-ridged cap with three peaks on top. There are certain times when it’s customary to put on the biretta, such as when entering and leaving church for Mass, but it’s often just personal preference. Cardinals wear both of these hats in red, which symbolizes how each cardinal should be willing to spill his blood for the church. (The zucchetto is actually worn beneath the biretta.) Some cardinals also wear regional variations on the hat, such as the Spanish style, which features four peaks instead of three. On special occasions, such as when preparing to elect the next leader of their church, they may also wear a mitre, which is a tall and usually white pointed hat. The mitre is the same style of cap commonly worn by the pope, and it comes in three different styles with varying degrees of ornamentation, according to the occasion.

Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Laurie Maffly-Kipp Julie Byrne Todd Ochoa Tony Perucci Randall Styers Thomas A. Tweed ©2012 Jill Marie Peterfeso ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JILL MARIE PETERFESO: Transgressive Traditions: Roman Catholic Womenpriests and the Problem of Women’s Ordination (Under the direction of Laurie Maffly-Kipp) Although the Roman Catholic Church bars women from ordained priesthood, since 2002 a movement called Roman Catholic Womenpriests (RCWP) claims to have ordained approximately 120 women as deacons, priests, and bishops in Europe, North America, and Latin America. Because the women deliberately break Canon Law—and specifically c. 1024, which reads, “Only a baptized man can validly receive sacred ordination”—RCWP acknowledges that its ordinations are illegal, but the group claims nonetheless to perform valid ordinations because they stand in the traditional line of apostolic succession. They retain the modifier “Roman” to signal their lineage within Roman Catholic tradition, yet RCWP’s stated goal is not simply to insert women into the existing Church structures, but rather to “re-imagine, re-structure, and re-shape the priesthood and therefore the church.” This dissertation investigates the

    Blazon and Explanation of the Armorial Bearings of the Most Reverend Richard G. Henning, DD Titular Bishop of Tabla and Auxiliary Bishop of Rockville Centre, NY BLAZON: Azure, within a bordure parted wavy Argent and Gules an escallop shell Argent. The shield is ensigned with an episcopal cross Or charged with five jewels Gules and a bishop’s galero with cords and twelve tassels flanking the shield disposed in three rows of one, two and three all Vert. On a scroll below the shield is the motto, “Put Out Into The Deep”. EXPLANATION: The armorial bearings of Bishop Richard Henning evoke his birthplace, his ministry and his personal devotion. The shield is composed of a design depicted in red (Gules), white (Argent) and blue (Azure) which are the national colors of the United States. Both the blue background and the single escallop shell allude to the sea as evoking the Bish- op’s own background and the shell is also borrowed from the coat of arms of the See of Rockville Centre, the diocese in which he was born and raised and which he serves as a priest and bishop. The shell image also recalls the Bishop’s heritage in the Diocese of Brooklyn, dedi- cated to its patron, St. James. The ordination of the bishop takes place on the eve of the Feast of St. James. In concert with the Bishop’s motto, the shell is a traditional symbol of baptism and pilgrimage. It is in the depths of these waters that Christians find their salvation in Jesus Christ.

Even should she forget, I will never forget you. — Isaiah 49:15 In the first reading from the Book of Isaiah we hear God’s eternal promise to God’s people” I will never forget you.” Being a child of God means you can be assured that you will never be forgotten, never be abandoned, and never be alone. What a promise! But for this promise to be completely fulfilled it is not enough for us to simply bask in the radiance of God’s unfailing love: we must challenge ourselves to be the mirror that reflects this love into the world. Imagine a world in which each person knew that they would never be abandoned or forgotten. Imagine the change this could make in the cultures of fear and distrust we see and experience in the world. We cannot love with the same limitless perfection as God, but we can try to emulate God’s fierce persistence in showing love in our individual lives. We can each make the promise to another individual “ I will never forget you.” We can, with God’s help, ensure that this person does not feel abandoned and is never alone. Then they, empowered by our reflection of God’s endless love, can in turn shine it on one other person until someday all people on God’s earth, who are already loved completely by God, can fully experience this love and trust in the promise that they will never be forgotten.

We are once again faced with the prospect of no public Masses until then. This means that most Catholics in California may go the entire Easter Season without receiving the Holy Eucharist. As a priest, this is a painful and difficult reality that requires us to rethink how we minister to the faithful in this time of crisis. We are realizing more and more that livestreamed Masses are not enough—the people want the Lord Himself! After much discussion and much more prayer, the Cathedral Staff and I have decided to undertake a bold, creative, yet prudent and safe way to minister to the people who hunger for Christ so much. On Sunday, May 10 (Mother’s Day) and Sunday, May 17 (Sixth Sunday of Easter), we will be offering Holy Communion to all those who come to the Cathedral Parking Garage between 9:30 AM and 10:45 AM.
