A Brief History of Coptic Personal Status Law Ryan Rowberry John Khalil* INTRODUCTION With the U.S.-led "War on Terror" and the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, American legal scholars have understandably focused increased attention on the various schools and applications of Islamic law in Middle Eastern countries. 1 This focus on Shari'a law, however, has tended to elide the complexity of traditional legal pluralism in many Islamic nations. Numerous Christian communities across the Middle East (e.g., Syrian, Armenian, Coptic, Nestorian, Maronite), for example, adhere to personal status laws that are not based on Islamic legal principles. Christian minority groups form the largest non-Muslim . Ryan Rowberry and Jolin Khalil graduated from Harvard Law School in 2008.

  • Q. 100: Irreligion: Simony
    QUESTION 100 Irreligion: Simony Next we have to consider simony (simonia). And on this topic there are six questions: (1) What is simony? (2) Is it licit to accept money for the sacraments? (3) Is it licit to accept money for spiritual acts? (4) Is it licit to sell things that are connected with what is spiritual? (5) Is it only a ‘favor by the hand’ (munus a manu) that makes for simony, or also a ‘favor by the tongue’ (munus a lingua) and a ‘favor by allegiance’ (munus ab obsequio)? (6) What about the punishment for one who commits simony? Article 1 Is simony “an eager willingness to sell and to buy something spiritual or something connected with what is spiritual”? It seems that simony is not “an eager willingness to sell and to buy something spiritual or something connected with what is spiritual” (simonia non sit studiosa voluntas emendi et vendendi aliquid spirituale vel spirituali annexum) [Legal Experts]: Objection 1: Simony is a certain heresy, since Decretals 1, q. 1 says, “The impious heresy of Macedonius and of those who with him impugn the Holy Spirit is more tolerable than that of those who are guilty of simony. For in their ravings the former claim that the Holy Spirit is a creature and the slave of God the Father and God the Son, whereas the latter make the same Holy Spirit their own slave. For every owner (dominus) sells what he owns if he wants to, whether it be his slave or any other thing that he possesses.” But as is clear from what was said above (q.

  • The Falsification of History, Especially in Reference to the Reformation and the Characters of the Reformers, As Pertinacious
    “THE FALSIFICATION OF HISTORY, ESPECIALLY IN REFERENCE TO THE REFORMATION AND THE CHARACTERS OF THE REFORMERS, AS PERTINACIOUSLY REPEATED BY THE ADVOCATES OF RITUALISM.” Church Association Tract 12 BY THE REV. T. P. BOULTBEE, M.A., LL.D., PRINCIPAL OF ST JOHN’S HALL, THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE, HIGHBURY, MIDDLESEX. “WOE unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. Woe unto them . which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him.” What darkness is like the darkness of bewildering falsehood, and what light is like the truth? Once One walked this earth who called Himself “The Truth.’’ Brightly beamed the full-orbed face of that Eternal Truth on the world’s darkness. But around Him surged the legions of that opposite who is called “the father of lies;” the traitor practised his treason; and “false witness was sought to put Him to death.” Calm and silent the august face of the Truth gleamed through the falsehood. But the gathering lies prevailed. Affixed to the accursed cross, the Truth Himself expired, and all was dark. “The sun was darkened,” and “there was darkness over all the earth.” And so He who was the Truth was laid in the tomb, and the power of falsehood prevailed in its final triumph. Nay! this was the very victory of the Truth of God! The blood did but seal the covenant. “Every promise of God was now yea and amen in Christ Jesus.” “A testament is of force after men are dead,” and now no power of Satan’s utmost lie can break the bond.

  • Mass Stipend Guidelines to Our Parishioners
    Mass Stipend Guidelines to Our Parishioners From the very beginnings of the Church, it was customary for the faithful to donate the bread and wine to be used in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. In time, offerings of money were substituted for the actual bread and wine. Money given in excess of what was necessary for the procuring of the bread and wine was used to assist the poor and, eventually, to support the clergy. Thus, it became customary for the priest to accept from the faithful a donation (formerly called a “stipend”) in return for remembering a specific intention in the celebration of a Mass. Through this voluntary offering, the donor seeks spiritual benefits that God may bestow upon the persons or concerns that are specially held in prayer at the Mass. What is more, the Code of Canon Law (canon 946) notes that the donor himself benefits: “Christ’s faithful who make an offering so that Mass can be celebrated for their intention contribute to the good of the Church, and by that offering they share in the Church’s concern for the support of its ministers and its activities.” According to the Council of Trent (1545-1563) , the Mass “is quite properly offered according to apostolic tradition not only for the sins, punishments, satisfactions and other needs of the faithful who are living, but also for those who have died in Christ but are not yet fully purified” (Session XXII, Chapter 2). The deep faith and ardent charity of the parishioners of Parish of the Precious Blood manifests itself in the numerous Mass offerings you donate to the parish, especially for your beloved deceased.

GOTHIC CATHEDRALS: A SHIFT IN CHRISTIANS’ RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD Matthew Latham Humanities: Western Civilization May 1st, 2019 1 Medieval cathedrals epitomize the Gothic style. With their immense height and cavernous space, soaring vaults and pointed arches, religious sculptures and stained glass, Gothic cathedrals exude elegance. Pillars and arches begin wide at their base and thin out as they ascend upwards. So too do the flying buttresses, ascending to Gothic architecture’s most signature feature: the towering steeple. The Gothic style first emerged in the 12th century, and most cathedrals were built in the following few centuries.1 Gothic architecture differed from previous styles in that it had to convey the Christian ideals expected from an overwhelmingly Christian society.2 Naturally, this goal to represent Christian values in architecture shaped cathedral design.

  • POLICY 3.5.2 Mass Stipends
    POLICY 3.5.2 Mass Stipends There is a long history in the Catholic Church of Mass stipends. These are donations made by the Catholic faithful to the priest for the celebration of Mass. Usually, the person making such a donation also asks the priest to pray for their intention during that Mass – this may be for the spiritual benefit of a deceased friend or relative, for the intention of the donor or of another worthy intention. The specifics of the intention need not even be known to the priest, but we trust that God knows of the donor’s intention. In every way, we are to discourage any semblance of simony, or the idea that one can “buy a Mass”. The Mass stipend is simply a donation made to the priest in consideration of his ministry. Because there is a service directly applied to the donation, a charitable donation receipt for income tax purposes cannot be given. The Code of Canon Law (Canons 945-958) has established some ground rules for Mass intentions, so that there be no abuse of this practice. In short, what is stipulated is that: The practice of accepting Mass stipends is safeguarded in Church practice. The stipend is for the free use of the priest only after that Mass has been celebrated. It cannot be used prior to satisfying the intention by saying the Mass. If a priest presides at a second Mass on the same day, the amount of the second stipend shall not be kept by the priest (see below). This does not apply to Christmas Day.

FOURTH AVENUE AND 30TH STREET THE FALSE DECRETALS BY E. H. DAVENPORT, B.A. LATE SCHOLAR OF QUEEN's COLLEGE, OXFORD LOTHIAN PRIZEMAN, I9I4 B. H. BLACKWELL, BROAD STREET HCMXVI 5 PREFACE The present thesis has grown out of the Lothian Essay for 1914 on the Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals. The conclusions of that essay remain the same : but the form and * order have been re-cast, and the general arguments have been amplified, and I hope strengthened, after a year's further reading. It will be very clear that the subject has not been exhausted. I have not discussed, for instance, as it was not strictly relevant, the Prankish Church in the ninth century from the economic and doctrinal points of view. Nor have I drawn suflSciently upon the volu- minous erudition of German critics. All this in better days must be done. But, seeing that there is not in English any comprehensive sketch of the Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals, I have thought fit to publish this thesis as it stands. I am much indebted to the Rev. A. J. Carlyle, D.Litt., for the exceeding value of his criticisms before and after going into print.
