Bill . The Assumption of Mary, Body and Soul, Into Heaven. It Is Right and Just. The dogma (a belief that must be held with certainty by Roman Catholics) of the As- sumption of Mary was defined by Pope Pius XII in 1950 in the encyclical Munificentis- simus Deus: “We pronounce, declare and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.” (www.vatican.va). Despite this relatively recent dogmatic definition, the Assumption of Mary is an ancient belief in the Roman Catholic tradition, as early as the 4th century, and was held to be worthy of belief even by many Protestant reformers in the 16th century, including Martin Luther (Naumann, U. Dayton). Although no explicit reference to Mary being taken up to heaven appears in holy Scripture, there are undenia- bly persuasive biblical allusions to the mystery of the Assumption to be considered. Sr. Isabell Naumann (U. Dayton) writes: “The strongest evidence for the belief [in the Assumption] of the early Christians is found in ancient liturgies and in homilies in honor of Mary's passing . By the end of the Middle Ages, belief in Mary's Assumption into heaven was well established theo- logically and part of the devotional expressions of the people.” Pope Pius XII was moved by the preponderance of liturgical history and by a century of petitions to honor Mary in this way. Between 1849 and 1950, numerous petitions for the dogma arrived in Rome. They came from one hundred and thirteen Cardinals, eighteen Patriarchs, twenty-five- hundred-five archbishops and bishops, thirty-two-thousand priests and men religious, fifty-thousand religious women, eight million lay people. Pius XII considered this [part of] a "certain and firm proof" that the Assumption is a truth revealed by God. (Naumann) Despite the surety expressed by Pope Pius XII, there were many in his day (and many in our day) who dismissed Our Lady’s Assumption as just so much "sentiment and myth" (Stackpole, thedivine- mercy.org); the most strident objection being the apparent lack of biblical evidence. But such a con- clusion would be very shortsighted. Dr. Robert Stackpole (St. John Paul II Institute of Divine Mer- cy) references another contemporary theologian, Dr. Scott Hahn: St. Luke tells us that Mary herself is the new Ark of the Covenant. Just as the Ark in ancient Israel contained the tables of the Law, and some of the manna-bread from heaven - signs of the Old Covenant - so Mary's womb contained the sign of the prom- ise of the New Covenant and the true Bread of Life: Jesus our Savior Himself. Thus, it was already believed by the apostolic Church that Mary was the new Ark of the Cove- nant. Jesus charged the Apostle John with the joyful task of caring for Blessed Mary after the Lord’s death on the Cross. It is the same St. John who writes in the Book of Revelation: “Then God’s tem- ple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple” (Rev 11:19). John goes on to say: “[Then] a great portent appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars” (Rev 12:1). The “woman” of the Apocalypse (Revelation) is considered to be doubly symbolic; referencing both the Church, the New Jerusalem, and Mary, the Mother of God (ref. St. Ambrose, St. Augustine). It is by the second reference to Mary, the Ark of the New Covenant, that Stackpole declares: “What St. John was shown in his vision is that the Ark of the Covenant is now in heaven as a ‘woman clothed with the sun’ whose child is the Messiah.” Mary, Mother of God, is in heaven in the fullness of her being, body and soul, to fulfill the mission that God, the Father ordained for her from the be- ginning. Our confidence in the dogmatic definition of Our Lady’s Assumption is not fanciful or mis- guided. Rather, we are blessed and inspired by the Tradition of the Church and by Holy Scripture to share in the same surety expressed by the Holy Father, Pope Pius XII in 1950. Hail Mary, full of Grace!

  • Romans: the First Christian Treatise on Theosis
    Journal o f Theological Interpretation 5.1 (2011) 13-34 Romans: The First Christian Treatise on Theosis M ic h a e l J . G o r m a n St. M ary’s Seminary and U niversity Abstract — Building on renewed interest in theosis generally, and par- ticularly with respect to Paul, this essay argues that Romans is the first Christian treatise on theosis, an elaboration of the embryonic passages about theosis, including the “interchange” (Morna Hooker) texts, found in 2 Corinthians. Earlier work on theosis in Paul suggests that it means transformative participation in the kenotic, cruciform character of God through Spirit-enabled conformity to the incarnate, crucified, and resur- rected/glorified Christ. This essay traces Paul’s soteriology of restoring human dikaiosynë and doxa—fundamental elements of theosis—in Ro- mans. For Paul, this restoration is accomplished by participation in the death and resurrection of the obedient and faithful Son. It is manifested in “righteoused,” cruciform communities of Christlike Godlikeness in which Gentiles and Jews glorify God together as a partial and proleptic foreshadowing of the final glory of God and, at least implicitly, as a coun- terpoint to the pseudo-glory of Rome. Key Words — Christosis, cruciformity, glory, image o f God, interchange, partici- pation, Pauline soteriology, Romans, 2 Corinthians, theosis “Christ became what we are—'*adam —in order that we might share in Christ “became like human ״.what he is—namely the true image of God beings, so that we would be like him.” “Christ becomes what we are, that we through his death may become what he is.” These three quotations do not come from the Church Fathers Irenaeus or Athanasius, nor are they modern statements of the Eastern Christian doctrine of salvation.

  • Studies in Scripture for Moral Theologians
    Journal of Moral Theology, Vol. 7, No. 2 (2018): 36-56 Studies in Scripture for Moral Theologians Jeffrey L. Morrow N ITS DECREE ON PRIESTLY TRAINING, Optatam Totius, the Second Vatican Council urged that the “scientific exposition” of moral theology be “nourished more on the teaching of the Bible” I(no. 16). In the decree’s context, this desire emerges from within the broader concern for the study of Scripture serving as “the soul of all theology” (no. 16). Has this been accomplished? Or is there room for improvement? We might pose a further question: What is the relevance of Optatam Totius, no. 16, outside of the seminary context? After all, most Catholic moral theologians teaching in the U.S., as with most Catholic theologians teaching in the U.S., are no longer clergy nor teaching in a seminary. In the U.S., professional Catholic theologians (moral or otherwise) increasingly come from among the laity. Yet, the conviction that Catholic moral theology—and all of Catholic theology for that matter—should be nourished by Scripture transcends the boundaries of seminary education. In fact, it is a notion that predates the Second Vatican Council. Most of the time St. Thomas Aquinas spent teaching was on Scripture, and his biblical commentaries were among his most important works. For St. Thomas, to be a theologian was to be a commentator on the sacred page.1 This was not unique to St. Thomas. In his Breviloquium, St. Bonaventure used “theology” as another term for “Scripture,” and he intended his Breviloquium to be a guide for advancing “through the forest of Sacred Scripture, hacking with an ax and thus laying it open.”2 In his apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis exhorts that all Catholics should study Scripture: “The study of the sacred Scriptures must be a door opened to every believer” (no.

  • Biblical Interpretation As a Prophetic Charism in the Church
    Nova et Vetera, English Edition, Vol. 13, No. 1 (2015): 219-240 219 Biblical Interpretation as a Prophetic Charism in the Church Mary Healy Sacred Heart Major Seminary Detroit, MI “THE CRISIS OF FAITH IN CHRIST in modern times began with a modified way of reading sacred Scripture—seemingly the sole sci- entific way.”1 This statement, penned by Joseph Ratzinger two years before he became pope, explains the decisive importance he attributed to a reform of biblical interpretation within the task of renewing the Church at large. A concern for the proper interpretation of Scripture had long been at the heart of his theological work. When he was elected to the See of Peter in 2005, Ratzinger had already spent more than half a century as a theologian whose work was articulated in distinctively biblical terms and who often reflected on questions of exegesis, faith and theology.2 His 1988 Erasmus Lecture on “Biblical Interpretation in Crisis” built on his earlier work diagnosing the problems in modern critical exegesis and pointing the way toward a more adequate herme- neutic.3 As prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, 1 Benedict XVI, On the Way to Jesus Christ, trans. Michael Miller (San Francisco: Ig- natius, 2005), 9. 2 For a good overview of Benedict’s biblical approach to theology, see Scott Hahn, Covenant and Communion: The Biblical Theology of Pope Benedict XVI (Grand Rap- ids, MI: Brazos, 2009). 3 Ratzinger, “Biblical Interpretation in Crisis: On the Question of the Foundations and Approaches of Exegesis Today,” in Richard J.
