  • The Holy Person in Comparative Perspective
    The Holy Person in Comparative Perspective Thomas Head Hunter College and the Graduate Center, CUNY A holy person is one who serves as an exemplar of virtue and an embodiment of sacred power. The holy person lives according to the highest ideals of a religious tradition. The word "saint" is frequently used in English for such persons. Explicitly Christian in its origin, this term (and many many linguistically similar terms in modern European languages) comes from the Latin sanctus (holy man) or sancta (holy woman). It was Peter Brown who--in a 1971 article entitled "The Rise and Function of the Holy Man in Late Antiquity"-- coined the phrase "holy person" in its modern scholarly usage through the brilliantly simple expedient of taking his Christian sources literally. Brown has since (see the citations below) regularly rethought this concept in the light of more recent scholarship on Christianity. Scholars of other religious traditions have freely used this term and concept in studying other traditions. Thre fruists of those studies provide a useful mirror on the practice of holiness in Christianity. Early Christians, such as those studied by Brown, honored as saints specifically those persons who were thought to have earned immediate entrance to the kingdom of heaven after their death. In practice only a limited number of people were so venerated. The first to be so recognized were martyrs, who had died for their witness to the name of Christ. With the end of persecution, monks who endured the symbolic martyrdom of rigorous self-denial came to be officially honored as saints.

  • Ave Maria Press Releases New Edition of 1907 Dystopian Novel Lord of the World
    BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT To schedule media interviews, or to request images or review copies, contact: STEPHANIE A. SIBAL, PUBLICIST 800.282.1865 x206 | [email protected] Ave Maria Press, Inc., P.O. Box 428 Notre Dame, IN 46556 A Ministry of the United States Province of Holy Cross AVE MARIA PRESS RELEASES NEW EDITION OF 1907 DYSTOPIAN NOVEL LORD OF THE WORLD NOTRE DAME, Ind.— Popular young adult books such as The Hunger Games and Divergent, as well as literary classics such as Walker Percy’s Love in the Ruins and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, have created a growing interest in dystopian novels. In one of the first such novels of the twentieth century, Robert Hugh Benson imagines a world where belief in God has been replaced by secular hu- manism. In an airplane news conference on his return from the Philippines in January 2015, Pope Francis mentioned Benson’s Lord of the World and said, “I advise you to read it.” It wasn’t the first time the Holy Father had praised the book since becoming pope. This 1907 futuristic narrative has been hailed as the finest work of this unsung, but influential author and son of the Archbishop of Canterbury whose conversion to Catholicism rocked the Church of England in 1903. The compelling book includes a new introduction, a biography of Benson, and a theo- logical reflection. Lord of the World A Novel Lord of the World describes a world where Catholics are falling away and priests By Robert Hugh Benson and bishops are defecting. Only a small remnant of the faithful remains.

Realizing the inadequacyof those 'he International Conferenceon Preparation for Priesthood answers,I began to study the relationship. with the support of the Wethersfield Institute. As a result,this paperaims to describein betterr detail how theology usesphilosophy. Its main con- tributionsare 1) a descriptionof the instrumentaluses of philosophy,2) the identification of the intrinsic role of philosophy as material to theology. Becauseof the focus on the theologicaluses of philosophy,I will leave aside other contributionsof philosophyto theology students,such as, helping them to understandthe modern world, disciplining their thinking, stimulatingcreative thought, and providing order for a complex world. These contributions of philosophyare important, but are not unique to the- ology. The Traditional Ways Theology UsesPhilosophy Four main uses quickly emergedas a working hypothesis:philosophy serves theology as a preamble, a tool, a bridge, and a shield.2 Theseare the more traditional ways of describing how theology uses philosophy.The list eventually grew to six. Philosophyis a preamblein thatit preparespeople for understandingthe Faith. It is a tool in that it is usedas an instrumentto better understandthe Faith. It is a bridge in that it provides common principles where believer and nonbeliever can meet. It is a shieldin thatit can be usedto defendthe Faith against argumentsof nonbelievers3.The seconduse, as a tool, is the most commonand the most importantto articulatefor theologystudents.

Gabrielli All rights reserved 2014 iii ABSTRACT SOLIDARITY MEDIATION IN THE FRENCH STREAM OF MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST THEOLOGY Name: Gabrielli, Timothy R. University of Dayton Advisor: William L. Portier, Ph.D. In its analysis of mystical body of Christ theology in the twentieth century, this dissertation identifies three major streams of mystical body theology operative in the early part of the century: the Roman, the German-Romantic, and the French-Social- Liturgical. Delineating these three streams of mystical body theology sheds light on the diversity of scholarly positions concerning the heritage of mystical body theology, on its mid twentieth-century recession, as well as on Pope Pius XII’s 1943 encyclical, Mystici Corporis Christi, which enshrined “mystical body of Christ” in Catholic magisterial teaching. Further, it links the work of Virgil Michel and Louis-Marie Chauvet, two scholars remote from each other on several fronts, in the long, winding French stream.

  • The Work of Borghesi Is a Wonderful Contribution to Understanding the Thinking and Person of Pope Francis and to Receiving An
    “The work of Borghesi is a wonderful contribution to understanding the thinking and person of Pope Francis and to receiving and implementing his magisterium at a time of change in the Church and the world. It is my sincere hope that bishops, priests, seminary professors, lay theologians, and leaders will profit greatly from this text as they carry out the important work of the New Evangelization.” —Archbishop Christophe Pierre Apostolic Nuncio to the United States “Massimo Borghesi has provided an indispensable resource for all who want to understand why Pope Francis thinks the way he does. Both erudite and scholarly, The Mind of Pope Francis reveals the intellectual and cultural formation of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, with the added benefit of recently recorded and highly reflective interviews with the subject himself. Beautifully translated, this is a vital addition to the anthology of books on this most captivating and consequential religious leader.” — Kerry Alys Robinson Global Ambassador, Leadership Roundtable “Massimo Borghesi’s book is the first real intellectual biography of Jorge Mario Bergoglio and it builds a bridge between the different universes of today’s global Catholicism: different generations of Catholics; different areas of the world; different theological, philosophical, and socio-political backgrounds. This book is an invaluable contribution for the comprehension of this pontificate and potentially a game-changer for the reception of Pope Francis, especially in the English-speaking world.” — Massimo Faggioli Professor of Historical Theology, Villanova University “Pope Francis’ predecessor was an internationally renowned theologian. Perhaps because of that, many have dismissed the Argentinian pope as lacking in intellectual ‘heft.’ Massimo Borghesi’s fascinating and informative study of the intellectual influences on Pope Francis has exploded that canard, demonstrating the intellectual breadth, subtlety and perspicacity of Francis’ thought.

  • Global Christian Worship the Sign of the Cross
    Global Christian Worship The Sign of the Cross http://globalworship.tumblr.com/post/150428542015/21-things-we-do-when-we-make-the- sign-of-the-cross 21 Things We Do When We Make the Sign of the Cross - for All Christians! Making ‘the sign of the cross’ goes back to the Early Church and belongs to all Christians. It’s a very theologically rich symbolic action! And did you know that Bonhoffer, practically a saint to Protestant Christians, often made the sign of the cross? (See below.) I grew up “thoroughly Protestant” and did not really become aware of “making the sign of the cross” in a thoughtful way until a few years ago, when I joined an Anglican church. Now it’s become a helpful act of devotion for me …. especially after I found this article by Stephen 1 Beale a few years ago (published online in November 2013) at http://catholicexchange.com/21-things-cross There is rich theology embedded in this simple sign, and as a non-Roman Catholic I appreciate all of the symbolism, and it does indeed deepen my spirituality and devotion. The history of making the symbolic motion goes back to the Early Church, more than a millennia before Protestants broke away in the Reformation. So when a Christian act has that long of a history, I believe that I can claim it for myself as a contemporary Christian no matter what denominations use it or don’t use it now. “Around the year 200 in Carthage (modern Tunisia, Africa),Tertullian wrote: ‘We Christians wear out our foreheads with the sign of the cross’ … By the 4th century, the sign of the cross involved other parts of the body beyond the forehead.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_of_the_cross So, here is a reposting of Stephen’s list, with additional resources at the end.

It was a reprint of a 1923 article “The Polish Peasant” from the American Catholic Quarterly Review. This article was written by Mr. Clemons himself, and provides a brief biography of the great Polish writer, Władysław Stanisław Reymont. One might ask how this relates to Polish genealogy; but over the years, I have often seen researchers of Polish genealogy praise Reymont’s best-known work, Chłopi or The Peasants, as a wonderful story that gave them valuable insights into the lives of their ancestors. So I think many of our readers may find this information interesting. I should mention that different years of publication are often cited for Reymont’s works.
