  • Pope St. Pius V: Pope of the Rosary Pope St
    Did you know . Pope St. Pius V: Pope of the Rosary Pope St. Pius V is one of the foremost leaders of the Catholic Reformation. He was born Antonio Ghislieri in Bosco, Italy, to a poor family; he worked as a shepherd until the age of fourteen when he joined the Dominicans, and was ordained in 1528. He studied at Bologna and Genoa, and then taught theology and philosophy for sixteen years. He was known for his long hours of prayer and fasting, and his holy speech. Due to his reputation for holiness and his great intelligence, he rose to a number of prominent positions in the Church, including Inquisitor and bishop. When Pope Pius IV died in 1565, he was unanimously elected Pope and took the name Pope Pius V. As pope, Pius was a great reformer and saw as his main objective the full implementation of the decrees of the Council of Trent. He also supported the foreign missions and worked for the reform of the clergy. He published the Roman Catechism, the revised Roman Breviary, and the Roman Missal; he also declared Thomas Aquinas a Doctor of the Church, commanded a new edition of the works of Thomas Aquinas, and created a commission to revise the Vulgate. Pope Pius V was especially known for his devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and for being a great promoter of the Holy Rosary. He was given the title of “The Pope of the Rosary” for issuing a papal bull, Consueverunt Romani Pontifices, in which he secured the uniformity of the Holy Rosary for recitation throughout the Catholic Church and for establishing the feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

Historians rarely offer more than a brief biography and often neglect to mention at all his key role in the Great Schism. Yet, the very absence ofPope Benoit XIU from most historical narratives of medieval history itself highlights the active role that historians play in determining what gets recorded. In some cases, the choices that people make in determining what does, and what does not, get included in historical accounts reveals as much about the motivations and intentions of the people recording that past as it does about their subjects. This essay studies one example of this problem, in this case Europeans during the Reformation era who self-consciously manipulated sources from medieval history to promote their own agendas. We can see this in the sixteenth-century translation ofa treatise written by the medieval theologian Nicholas de Clamanges (1363-1437. Clamanges was a university professor and served as Benoit XIII's secretary during the Great Schism in Avignon, France. The treatise, entitled La Traite de fa Ruine de f'Eglise, was written in Latin in 1398 and was first distributed after Clamanges' death in 1437.

Though a Pope cannot change the substance of the Mass, he can change the accidents, or non-essentials, of the Mass a. This is how the Mass developed organically through the centuries. b. True Popes have also made incidental changes to the Mass, e.g. the Holy Week changes of Pope Pius XII in 1955. 3. Quo Primum was the strongest Papal statement that no one, not even a Cardinal, could authorize changes in the Mass.

    On the Vacancy of the Apostolic See by Bishop Mark A. Pivarunas, CMRI 14/03/18, 7*55 PM HOME TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC FAITH MASS LOCATIONS PUBLICATIONS CMRI LINKS STORE PHOTOS CONTACT US CMRI Home > Article Index > Sedevacantist Position On the Vacancy of the Apostolic See By Bishop Mark A. Pivarunas, CMRI Our conference on the vacancy of the Apostolic See, the sedevacantist position, is most important, for it is a theological position which is very misunderstood, often misrepresented, and emotionally difficult for many groups. But before we proceed on this topic, it is paramount to stress that it is because of our belief in the Papacy and in Papal Infallibility that we necessarily must reject Paul VI, John Paul II and Benedict XVI as legitimate Popes. Many accuse us of rejection of the papacy. That is furthermost from the truth. In our earlier conference, we made reference to the main errors of religious indifferentism, false ecumenism and religious liberty which have infected the Conciliar Church of Vatican II. It is for us to demonstrate that the true Catholic Church—the Pope and the Bishops in union with him—could not promulgate such errors to the universal Church, and that no true Pope could promulgate a defective liturgy (Novus Ordo Missae) and a sacrilegious law (1983 Code of Canon Law 844.3 and 4 Communion to non-Catholics). It is for us to demonstrate that men who promulgate heresy are heretics; and as such, they lose the authority in the Church Although we can consider many different aspects of our position with the papacy, it will be sufficient for us today to limit our studies to a few main premises upon which our conclusion (the vacancy) rests.

  • India- Holy See Relations Diplomatic Relations Between India and The
    India- Holy See relations Diplomatic relations between India and the Holy See were established soon after India’s independence. India’s Ambassador in Berne, Switzerland, has traditionally been accredited to the Holy See which maintains a Nunciature (Embassy) in New Delhi, presently headed by a Nuncio (Ambassador). 2. India has the second largest Catholic population in Asia which also including those from Kerala dating from Apostolic times. With a shortage of priests and nuns from developed countries, a large number of Indians have joined various Roman Catholic Orders and a number of them have started occupying high positions within the Catholic Church institutions including those in Rome. India and Indians have a positive image in the Catholic community. 3. Although the strength of the Christian (and hence the Catholic) community forms only a small proportion of India’s population, the Holy See has always acknowledged the importance of India, both in global and Asian terms. There have been three Papal visits to India so far. The first Pope to visit India was Pope Paul IV, who came to Bombay in 1964 to attend the International Eucharistic Congress. Pope John Paul II visited India in February 1986 and November 1999. During his latter visit, he met the President, Vice President, Prime Minister and EAM. He participated in the concluding session of Synod of Bishops of Asia at which he signed and released post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation. 4. Several Indian dignitaries have, from time to time, called on the Pope in the Vatican. These have included the late Smt. Indira Gandhi in 1981 and Shri I.K.

    379 THE CATHOLIC HENRI IV AND THE PAPACY 1593-1610 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of I MASTER OF ARTS By William Jackson Fling, III, B. A. Denton, Texas August, 1977 I/7 Fling, William J., III, The Catholic Henri IV and the Papacy 1593-1610. Master of Arts (History), August, 1977, 130 pp., bibliography, 40 titles. This study explores Franco-Papal relations, and their effect on the French Church and State, from Henri IV's conver- sion to Roman Catholicism in 1593 until his death in 1610. Because Henri IV's primary concern, even in matters involving the Papacy or the Gallican Church, was to protect his kingdom from Habsburg encroachment, he was willing either to abandon his Protestant allies abroad, or to adopt reform measures, such as the decrees of the Council of Trent, that might weaken his own authority or disturb the peace of his kingdom. This caused repeated conflicts with the Counter-Reformation Popes Clement VIII and Paul V, to whom the primary enemy was always the infidel and the heretic. Nevertheless both sides realized that they needed each other to maintain their independence of Spain. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION ................ .*................. 1 Chapter I.

  • 005-Santa Susanna
    (005/11) Santa Susanna Santa Susanna is an 15th century monastic and titular church. It is on the Piazza San Bernardo, on the Via XX Settembre just north-west of the Piazza della Repubblica and its metro station in the rione Trevi. The dedication is to St Susanna, and the full official title is Santa Susanna alle Terme di Diocleziano. (1) History A church at Santa Susanna commemorates the place where, according to St. Jerome, a young Christian woman was martyred for refusing to worship Rome's pagan gods. Around the year 290 Susanna was residing with her father, Christian presbyter Gabinus, right next door to her saintly uncle Pope Caius (283-296), and in the shadows of the Emperor Diocletian's (284-305) immense baths. After refusing to break a vow of virginity to marry her insistent suitor Maximianus Galerius (none other than the Emperor's adopted son and heir), Susanna also balked at offering a pagan sacrifice, and was beheaded in her own home. The church of Santa Susanna is one of the oldest titles of Rome. The first Christian place of worship was built here in the 4th century. It was probably the titulus of Pope Caius (283-296). The early Christian church was built on the remains of three Roman villas, and was located immediately outside the fence of the Baths of Diocletian and close to the Servian walls. (8) First church By tradition, the church was built in 330, and named San Caio after the owner of the first chapel. In 590, the church was rededicated to St Susan because of her growing popularity.
