  • Cardinal Cajetan Renaissance Man
    CARDINAL CAJETAN RENAISSANCE MAN William Seaver, O.P. {)T WAS A PORTENT of things to come that St. Thomas J Aquinas' principal achievement-a brilliant synthesis of faith and reason-aroused feelings of irritation and confusion in most of his contemporaries. But whatever their personal sentiments, it was altogether too imposing, too massive, to be ignored. Those committed to established ways of thought were startled by the revolutionary character of his theological entente. William of la Mare, a representa­ tive of the Augustinian tradition, is typical of those who instinctively attacked St. Thomas because of the novel sound of his ideas without taking time out to understand him. And the Dominicans who rushed to the ramparts to vindicate a distinguished brother were, as often as not, too busy fighting to be able even to attempt a stone by stone ex­ amination of the citadel they were defending. Inevitably, it has taken many centuries and many great minds to measure off the height and depth of his theological and philosophical productions-but men were ill-disposed to wait. Older loyalities, even in Thomas' own Order, yielded but slowly, if at all, and in the midst of the confusion and hesitation new minds were fashioning the via moderna. Tempier and Kilwardby's official condemnation in 1277 of philosophy's real or supposed efforts to usurp theology's function made men diffident of proving too much by sheer reason. Scotism now tended to replace demonstrative proofs with dialectical ones, and with Ockham logic and a spirit of analysis de­ cisively supplant metaphysics and all attempts at an organic fusion between the two disciplines.

  • Most Rev. Emmanuel Suarez, OP Eightieth Master General
    DOMINICAN A Vol. XXXI DECEMBER, 1946 No.4 MOST REV. EMMANUEL SUAREZ, O.P. EIGHTIETH MASTER GENERAL NCE more a son of the Province of Spain has been chosen to lead the Friars Preachers. Ninety-two electors representing the 8,000 members of the Order throughout the world met Il at the Angelicum Pontifical University on September 21, and chose the Most Rev. Emmanuel Suarez, O.P., rector of the Angeli­ cum, as the Master General. Father Suarez is the eightieth Master General elected since Pope Honorius III approved the foundation of the Order in 1216. He suc­ ceeds Father Martin Stanislaus Gillet, who has been named Titular Archbishop of Nicea, by His Holiness Pope Pius XII. Father Gillet was elected seventeen years ago and held the office five years beyond the statutory twelve years because the war prevented a convocation of the General Chapter at the appointed time. The new Master General was born in Campomanes, Austurias, on November 5, 1895. Upon the completion of his early classical studies at Coriax in the province of Oviedo, he received the Dominican habit on August 28, 1913, and made his profession on August 30, 1914. He continued his studies in philosophy and theology at the University of Salamanca, where he earned degress with high honors. Following his Ordination at Salamanca, he was sent to the University of Madrid, to study Civil Law and was awarded his doctorate with highest honors. Shortly thereafter, Fr. Suarez :went to Rome for further studies at the Collegio Angelico. He took the course at the Roman Rota, for which he wrote his brilliant and widely known examination thesis, De Remotione Parochorum.

  • Origins and Development of Religious Orders
    ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF RELIGIOUS ORDERS William A. Hinnebusch, O.P. The article is from a Journal: Review for Religious. It helps us to understand the CONTEXT of St Ignatius while founding the Society of Jesus. An attentive study of the origins and history of religious orders reveals that there are two primary currents in religious life--contemplative and apostolic. Vatican II gave clear expression to this fact when it called on the members of every community to "combine contemplation with apostolic love." It went on to say: "By the former they adhere to God in mind and heart; by the latter they strive to associate themselves with the work of redemption and to spread the Kingdom of God" (PC, 5). The orders founded before the 16th century, with the possible exception of the military orders, recognized clearly the contemplative element in their lives. Many of them, however, gave minimum recognition to the apostolic element, if we use the word "apostolic" in its present-day meaning, but not if we understand it as they did. In their thinking, the religious life was the Apostolic life. It reproduced and perpetuated the way of living learned by the Apostles from Christ and taught by them to the primitive Church of Jerusalem. Since it was lived by the "Twelve," the Apostolic life included preaching and the other works of the ministry. The passage describing the choice of the seven deacons in the Acts of the Apostles clearly delineates the double element in the Apostolic life and underlines the contemplative spirit of the Apostles.

  • John Connolly, Bishop of New York, 1814 – 1825 [1]
    PROFILE JOHN CONNOLLY, BISHOP OF NEW YORK, 1814 – 1825 [1] In 1815 the records of the Diocese of Liege in Belgium described the recently-consecrated Bishop of New York, John Connolly of the Order of Preachers as "A man who conducts himself like an angel in all things. ."[2] The new Irish bishop was fluent in several languages, and had spent thirty-seven years working at high levels for his Order in Rome and the Vatican. He was sixty-four years old, and on his way to the New World as first resident bishop of New York, a diocese which had only four priests to serve it and comprised the whole state of New York and northern New Jersey. On the international scene, the War of 1812 had ended in February of 1815, and an "era of good feeling" was about to begin. It was an auspicious time for a long-awaited leader to arrive in New York. Connolly had shown strength of spirit and courage in Rome seventeen years earlier when he resisted the French takeover of Dominican properties. But the likelihood that the newlynamed bishop would ever return to Europe was slim. He was now a bishop in his declining years, in a distant place with a different culture, and pastor to a different people. John Connolly was born in the parish of Monknewtown in County Meath, Ireland, in October 1751.[3] His parents had a tenant farm on the hill of Slane where St. Patrick is reputed to have lighted the paschal fire in honor of Ireland's conversion to Christianity.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See LETTER OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO BROTHER GERARD FRANCISCO TIMONER, O.P., MASTER GENERAL OF THE ORDER OF PREACHERS FOR THE VIII CENTENARY OF THE DEATH OF SAINT DOMINIC OF CALERUEGA To Brother Gerard Francisco Timoner, O.P., Master General of the Order of Preachers Praedicator Gratiae: among the titles attributed to Saint Dominic, that of “Preacher of Grace” stands out for its consonance with the charism and mission of the Order he founded. In this year that marks the eight hundredth anniversary of Saint Dominic’s death, I gladly join the Friars Preachers in giving thanks for the spiritual fruitfulness of that charism and mission, seen in the rich variety of the Dominican family as it has grown over the centuries. My prayerful greetings and good wishes go to all the members of that great family, which embraces the contemplative lives and apostolic works of its nuns and religious sisters, its priestly and lay fraternities, its secular institutes and its youth movements. In the Apostolic Exhortation Gaudete et Exsultate I expressed my conviction that “each saint is a mission, planned by the Father to reflect and embody, at a specific moment in history, a certain aspect of the Gospel” (No. 19). Dominic responded to the urgent need of his time not only for a renewed and vibrant preaching of the Gospel, but, equally important, for a convincing witness to its summons to holiness in the living communion of the Church. In the spirit of all true reform, he sought a return to the poverty and simplicity of the earliest Christian community, gathered around the apostles and faithful to their teaching (cf.

  • In Memoriam: the Most Reverend Emmanuel Suarez, Master General
    MOST REVEREND EMMANUEL SUAREZ, O.P. t 3ln ;iffltmoriam t THE MOST REVEREND EMMANUEL SUAREZ Master General of the Order of Preachers S THE SUN was shining upon a new month, a shadow of sadness was cast on the Dominican world. On July 1st of this year, the news reached the many members of St. ( Dominic's family that their fatherly leader was dead. In their sorrow they did not forget to thank Almighty God for having given the Order of Preachers such a saintly and talented Master General; nor did Dominicans neglect to pray for their beloved departed, and to ask that a man endowed with like gifts succeed him. About 5 A.M. on June 30, 1954, Father Emmanuel Suarez, Master General of the Order of Friars Preachers, was killed in an automobile accident while traveling to Spain, where he was to preside at a provincial chapter. The Dominican Secretary Gen­ eral, Father Aureliano Martinez, who was accompanying him, also met his death. The scene of the accident was a bit beyond the village of Salcin, France, and thirty miles from the Spanish frontier. The previous evening the Master General had left the French frontier on his way from Italy and continued through the night across southern France. Father Suarez had just successfully completed a difficult part of the road with dangerous curves and entered on a· straight stretch. Then for some reason, probably a heart attack, the car suddenly swerved off the road and crashed head on into a tree. A truck driver heard the crash, came to the spot and at once fetched a priest and a doctor.
