I+I Canada RESUME L'Eglise maronite est l'une des vingt-et-une Eglises sui iuris qui forment ce qu'on appelle parfois l'Eglise catholique orientale. Elle a ses particularites, qui la distinguent de l'Eglise latine et des autres Eglises d'Orient : hierarchie, discipline et rite liturgique lui sont propres. Son histoire n'a pas toujours ete facile. Elle a vecu des moments d'epreuve, qui ont ete determinants dans la dispersion de ses fideles aux quatre coins du monde. Les maronites du Canada proviennent des differents pays du Proche-Orient: d'Egypte, de Syrie, et surtout du Liban, leur terre ancestrale. On estime que la presence des maronites au Canada est devenue sociologiquement significative a la fin du xixe siecle. Situee dans un Occident tres eloigne de la patrie de Saint Maron, tant du point de vue de la geographie que de la culture, comment cette eparchie a-t-elle conserve son identite en dehors de son milieu naturel? En quoi se distingue-t-elle des autres Eglises particulieres? Sa hierarchie differe-t-elle, dans l'exercice de son pouvoir, des autres eveques eparchiaux du patriarcat, et notamment de ceux qui se trouvent au Liban? Y a-t-il un espoir de continuity —• dans la fidelite aux valeurs essentielles — en dehors de l'Orient? Comment ses fideles resteront-ils attaches a leur Eglise particuliere, canoniquement, spirituellement et en toute conscience? Telles sont les questions qui seront evoquees dans les pages qui suivent. Une telle recherche pose necessairement la question de l'avenir de l'Eglise maronite au Canada. II est tres important de savoir si ses fideles sont toujours interesses a s'y engager; de meme, il est essentiel qu'elle conserve son identite orientale, et ce, pour les generations a venir. Cette Eglise est confrontee a un tres grand defi. Est-elle consciente de sa mission et des defis qui lui posera l'avenir? Faute de reponse definitive, on trouvera ici plusieurs reperes et pistes de reflexion utiles.

It comes at a time when the country as a whole is torn into bits and pieces and when, following eleven years of war, the economy is in shambles: the industrial sector is virtually crippled, the wheels of commerce are slowly grinding to a halt, and the national currency is fast becoming worthless. In this tormented context, the construction sector, as will become apparent in the following pages, has incredibly maintained its resilience.

  • Alexander Svoboda 1897 Note
    CHAPTER NOTES Chapter Notes Chapter 1 Departure From Baghdad and Farewells ﺩﺍﻟﺴﻔﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻐﺪﺍ ﻭﺍ ﻟﻤﻮﺍﺩﻋﺔ page 002 1. "Thirteenth of the month" Alexander is mistaken about the date, Wednesday was the 14th of the month. 2. Mule litter: (taḫterewān) From the Persian taḫt-e revān (taḫt meaning seat or throne, revān meaning moving). It was commonly used in Iraq, sometimes in the abbreviated form taḫt. In the English diary of the return journal, Alexander used the term teḫtersin, for which we have been unable to find any references. 3. Balioz: The word Balioz was originally the Turkish form of the title of the Baglio, the Venetian representative to the Ottoman court. In later years the word 'Balioz' became a vulgar term for any foreign consul. The British Consulate or Residency in Baghdad was commonly known among the inhabitants there as "the house of the Balioz". Here the term refers to the British Consul-General. 4. Colonel Edward Mockler: The British Consul General in Baghdad from 1892 to 1897, when he was replaced by Colonel William Loch and journeyed overland to Cairo with Alexander Richard Svoboda and his parents. Born in 1839, he served in several positions in the British Army in India and the Middle East. He was also a scholar and linguist. For more information, See: http://courses.washington.edu/otap/svobodapedia/index.php?title=Edward_Mockler) the Edward Mockler page in the Svobodapedia. 5. al-Dayr: An abbreviation commonly used by the diarist for the town Dayr al-Zawr. 6. Kasperkhan: Fathallah (Fettohi) Kasperkhan was born around 1819 and married some time before 1862 to Sophie-Elizabeth Svoboda (Alexander's Aunt Eliza).

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See PASTORAL VISIT IN KAZAKHSTAN MEETING WITH THE ORDINARIES OF CENTRAL ASIA ADDRESS OF THE HOLY FATHER Astana (Apostolic Nunciature) Sunday, 23 September 2001 Dear Brother Bishops, Apostolic Administrators and Superiors of the Missions sui iuris of Central Asia, 1. It is with deep joy that I meet you again, following this morning’s solemn Eucharistic celebration in the great Square of the Motherland. I greet each one of you with affection and I thank you for your zeal and sacrifice in contributing to the rebirth of the Church in these vast regions, situated on the border between two continents. Here, the Catholic Church is only a little plant, but she is full of hope because of her trust in the power of divine grace. The long years of the Communist dictatorship, during which so many of the faithful were deported to the gulags set up in these lands, caused much suffering and bereavement. How many priests, religious and laity paid for their faithfulness to Christ with unimaginable suffering, and even the sacrifice of their lives! The Lord has heard the cry of these martyrs, whose blood has drenched the soil of your land. Yet again "the blood of martyrs has been the seed of Christians" (cf. Tertullian, Apologeticum, 50, 13). From this blood your Christian communities have sprung up like seedlings, and now they look to the future with confidence. Christ, the Good Shepherd, reminds you and the people entrusted to your pastoral care: "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom" (Lk 12:32).

Ampliore adhuc prorsus et clariore modo ex hac unione vitae perfectioris simulque sapientiae studii corda fidelium sursum eriguntur, utpote qui « instructi in caritate et in omnes divitias plenitudinis intel­ lectus, in agnitionem mysterii Dei Patris et Christi Iesu, in quo sunt omnes thesauri sapientiae et scientiae absconditi».3 Ideo, quo quis magis per sapientiam ad Deum graditur, eo altius spi­ ritus dominium evehit in se; sapientia « doctrix enim est disciplinae Dei, et electrix operum illius ».4 Divinae autem Sapientiae exemplari homo eo propius accedit quo magis et vivendi et agendi Salvatoris exemplum imi- 1 EcclL, I, 26. 2 Sap., VIII, 2. 8 Coloss., II, 2-3. * Sap., VIII, 4. 6 Acta Apostolicae Sedis - Commentarium Officiale tatur, enuntiantis: «Qui fecerit et docuerit, hic magnus vocabitur in regno caelorum».1 Haec quidem Domini Nostri Iesu Christi vestigia persequens, prae­ clarissima gloria efliuMt, Albertus ille, Ordinis Praedicatorum alumnus, in theologia magister, episcopus quondam Batisbonensis, qui, vitae con­ templativae atque activae rationes miro modo consocians, aetatis suae hominibus posterisque vere magnus apparuit, sicut quoque ob doctrinae eminentiam ac multiplicem rerum omnium peritiam Magni cognomento insignitus est.

  • Greek Catholic Metropolitan Church Sui Iuris in Slovakia and Greek Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Within the Current Catholic Canon Law
    E-Theologos, Vol. 2, No. 1 DOI 10.2478/v10154-011-0005-2 Greek Catholic Metropolitan Church sui iuris in Slovakia and Greek Catholic Church in the Czech Republic within the Current Catholic Canon Law František Čitbaj University of Prešov, Faculty of Greek-Catholic Theology Introduction The aim of this contribution is to inform lawyers, above all canon lawyers, of the current legal situation of the Greek Catholic Church in Slo- vakia, as well as in Czech Republic, and about changes which these com- munities underwent in the previous years, and what these changes meant for them. Basic characteristics: The Greek Catholic Church in Slovakia („řécko- katolícka církev“in Czech) is one of the twenty-two Catholic Churches of the Eastern rite. Originating in the Constantinopolitan traditions it uses Byzantine-Slavic rite in the liturgy. Canonically, it is part of the Catholic Church, respecting the authority of the successor to St. Peter the Apostle, the high priest of Rome. One of its other specifics in comparison to the Latin Church lies in granting the sacrament of priesthood to married men. The liturgical life in the Greek Catholic Church is diverse and plentiful. Liturgy is the most important means of not only prayer, but also theologi- cal cognition and spiritual life. Its disciplinary order is present in the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches which together with the Code of Can- non Law from 1983 and apostolic constitution Pastor bonus from 1988 create the current legal order of Catholic Churches. It was promulgated in 1990 by Pope John Paul II.
